I promised posts about L.A. Beer Week and here is another one with some BSP picks for the almost here celebration of L.A. beer….
All month the Stuffed Sandwich will have an L.A. brewers flight available.
Monday, June 17th – Cellador Ales
Cellador Ales has a tap takeover in Virgil Village at Alma’s Cider. And if you can’t attend that event, then…..
Wednesday, June 19th – Cellador at Southland Beer
“LA is not only blessed with great beer but is also surrounded by agriculture and a great way to showcase how those two factors meet is with Cellador’s sour beer program. We’ll have a selection of beers never before seen at Southland, and Cellador will be in the house telling the stories behind those beers.”
On tap:
Oogum Boogum – Wild Ale with Murray Limequats, Fukushu Kumquats, 2nd use late harvest Masumoto Le Grand Nectarines, vanilla & elderflower.

MacLeod at Ten
After the trials and tribulations of the last 4+ years, MacLeod Ales has hung on and has reached the double digit milestone of 10 years. That achievement alone should push you to a trip to Van Nuys to have a pint, maybe even a cask ale.
Five Tarantulas
Tarantula Hills Brewing in Thousand Oaks has hit a significant milestone. Saturday, June 22nd is their 5 Year Anniversary.
Festivity Details include: (yays and nopes are mine)
5th Anniversary Beer + Brewer’s Special Keg – yay!
Smoked Old Fashion Cocktail – yay!
El Rey Oyster Shooters – nope
Great Lineup of Live Music – OK
Birthday Sundae flavored Ice Cream – yay!
5th Anniversary Merch – OK
Books in the Alley
It is no secret that I love books. Already read 32 so far this year. So an event like Authors Alley, is well, right up my alley.
Check out the info at the Radiant Beer Co. event RSVP.
It is also no secret that I have no interest in crochet.
An Homage to Ocho
For a week long in June, Homage Brewing and its two location will be celebrating their 8th anniversary.
“You can expect BIG strawberries, BIG tunes, RARE bier on draft, food, wines and new merch.”
Pies for Pride
I am on Team Pie when it comes to dessert which means when Benny Boy Brewing and Cider announced Pies for Pride was happening on June 9, I was in. From 2-5pm Regarding Her Food will have a competition celebrating LGBTQ+ chefs and their best sweet and savory pies.
This will be a ticketed event so make sure to grab your pie pass.
A Few Rodeos In
2024 seems to be the country year, Cowboy Carter and now Trademark Brewing in Long Beach is breaking out the mechanical bull and line dancing for their fifth anniversary in Long Beach.
I will take my chances with the bull as my dancing could cause way more harm.
Cultural-3
Culture Brewing has two San Diego area locations and one spot for us Angelenos in Manhattan Beach. And it is the last one that is hitting the three year mark and their special beer for the occasion is a Citrus Gose.
Cinco de Sour
I appreciate when a brewery or bar zags instead of zigs. It would be easy to brew up a Mexican Lager and maybe some micheladas for Cinco de Mayo.
But the Glendale Tap is bringing in sour beers. Fifteen of them for the fans of puckery.
