The announcement is that there has been a name change….
Next time you visit the south DTLA brewery, do not get confused by the new moniker, Audio Graph Beer Co. According to their press release, the brewery is still under the same ownership with the same brewer so expect the same award winning beers.
I have to hand it to Arts District Brewing for having the temerity to hold beer competitions for styles that just are not on tap at most breweries. And they are back at it again with the 2023 Schwarz-mas.
On December 10th they will put on their annual Dark Lager celebration.
Here is the info: “We’ve gathered a ton of our favorite breweries and each will submit a craft Schwarzbier. We have an amazing panel of judges come through and we crown the best one. The best part is, YOU can come and try them all and vote for your favorite. Schwarzbier tends to be malty with chocolate and coffee notes, it averages around 5% ABV —so you can try a few! We’re so excited for all the amazing breweries joining us, and more to be announced soon. May the Schwarziest win!”
Brewyard Beer Co. has reached their 8th Anniversary under the overpass in Glendale. These guys throw a good party too. So in addition to new beer and new collaborations there will be music and food and you might find a seat next to the Brewyard truck to sip your beer.

A craft beer institution (that I wrote about in the August Beer Paper), The Glendale Tap has an anniversary coming up fast….
….better alter your plans to have a Friday night pint in my ‘hood.
Three Weavers is hitting their 9th Anniversary on November 4th and they have laid out how they brewed Time is a Flat Circle which is a double dry-hopped Cold IPA.
“To even call it “double dry-hopped” seems a bit of an understatement because our brewers have added ridiculous amounts of hops during the following processes…
1. Mash
2. First runnings
3. Bittering
4. Flavor
5. Knock out
6. Whirlpool
7. Dry-hop 1
8. Dry-hop 2 (we’re at this step today)
…And you might ask yourself, “Gee, that sounds fun but *which* hops did they use?” Welllllll…
1. Simcoe Cryo
2. Strata
3. Citra
4. Idaho Gem
5. Mosaic Cryo
6. Citra
7. Chinook
8. Cryo Pop”
