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.

Teenager

BSP blog favorite Smog City Brewing is primed to celebrate their 13th anniversary of brewing beer in Torrance.  There will be a special anniversary beer along with their new ESB made from Infinite Wishes second runnings and maybe even some bottles of Infinite Wishes to buy.

Sip & Stroll

The Los Angeles Zoo is presenting their first Sip & Stroll at the Zoo. on April 13th. The brewery list isn’t large but it does have a good sampling of local favorites plus some distillery action too and as I have said previously, it is a great location to drink at.

Here is the basic info: “It’s a playful parade of specialty cocktails, craft brews, and mocktails and other nonalcoholic delights, all paired with live beats, pop-up animal keeper talks, food trucks, and more! This celebration of beverages, melodies, and wild encounters will be an event to remember.”

Upshift to Sugar Monkey

After five years in a crowded El Segundo beer scene, Upshift Brewing Company will be closing its doors on March 31st.  But that is not the end of the brewing story on Indiana Street.

Sugar Monkey Brewing will be taking over the indoor / outdoor space.  One assumes the racing theme will be changed over in the taproom and that new beers will be made.  

It is very interesting that two El Segundo breweries have closed and then opened again under new management.

Boomtown Day – Tacos and $3.00

In the near future or yesterday, if we want news and journalists out there muckraking then we are going to have to pay for it. Except maybe if you check out L.A. Taco and their new perk for monthly members.

They have teamed with Boomtown Brewery for discounts on beers at the DTLA taproom! You can stay current with what in the f-ing heck is going on in L.A. while also getting a beer. That is a good deal.
