Recently, I made my first visit to Far Bar in the Little Tokyo section of downtown Los Angeles.
I like the chill outdoor vibe with the view of the sky above hemmed in by buildings. You feel hidden and out of the way, until you see the beer list and realize the most of the good breweries must know about this place too.
I had chicken satay and ended the evening with Mach 10 Double IPA from Bear Republic but first I had to try the Pumpkin,sour,cranberry “Kick” from New Belgium. It was slightly sour and the cranberry was there all right. But no pumpkin or earthy squash notes came through. A fine beer but I was expecting more I guess.
My beer buddy Richard had the Stone 15th concoction and this uniquely served Belgian strong ale from Kwak.
If you haven’t been to Far Bar then add it your beer itinerary.
