Having secured a taste of both the Chainbreaker IPA (though it should really be a Belgian tea-inflected blonde) and Black Butte XXIV and finding both to be quite tasty, I thought I would give a month long heads-up to what the Bend, Oregon brewery has in store for Los Angeles before and during L.A. Beer Week.
9/10 Deschutes pint night at Link N Hops in Atwater Village
9/12 Deschutes pint night at the Bruery’s Provision shop in OC
9/15 California Beer Festival in Ventura
9/22 Septemberfest at the Santa Monica Pier
9/29 Beer brunch at Boneyard Bistro in Studio City
9/30 Union Station even for LA Beer week
I couldn’t agree more in regards to the Chainbreaker. As an IPA, it’s definitely not to style. As a Belgian beer though….man is it good.
Both the white and black IPA’s seem to run into this problem.
