On the Phone


Hopes of catching up on the new breweries is fading for 2018 for me. I am behind two in Long Beach and now with the addition of Telco Brewery in Santa Clarita, I am two behind in the north as well. (still need to see Brewery Draconum in action)

Telco was founded by two homebrewers who have what job experience? That’s right telephone company.

They opened on September 30, 2018 and their website has the following amongst their beer choices:
Tip & Ring Pale Ale – “A classic American Ale, with a hoppy aroma. Tip & Ring is dry hopped to give you the smell of an IPA with out the bitterness. An excellent introduction to Telco Brewery’s fine beers.”

Short to Ground IPA – “Our Indian Pale Ale with the bite and smell only an IPA can offer. With ABV 6% & IBUs 63, this IPA is made with a single hop. Chinook is well-balanced with spicy overtones and heavy aromas brewed with Cara-Pils malt for extra body. Then dry hopped with you guessed it Chinook.”

Muck Out Stout – “Winner of the Montrose Homebrew Competition on April 2016, this stout comes in weighing at 6.4% ABV, & 54 IBUs. Our chocolate colored stout doesn’t disappoint adding a roasted malt to give you that coffee flavor we all love. Liberal amounts of Willamette and Cascade hops balance the sturdy malt backbone, making for a dangerously drinkable big beer.”

Rotary Red Ale – “a fan favorite red ale. The red ale offers an array of hops, a total of five hops. The star being Columbus, giving you that floral-citrusy flavor that we love in a light bodied beer. With the rest of the hops delivering excellent aroma followed by the undeniable red flavor. An excellent balance of a traditional red.”
