Brand new beer in a style that New Belgium isn’t known for, until now.

If you are a craft beer lover and you live in Los Angeles, get your taste buds to the Surly Goat.
If you are a fan of the Verdugo, then you will love the Surly Goat.
Why such high praise? Because the beer list is great, the bottle list is great and they care about educating the consumer and have knowledgeable staff.
50 from 50 – Ohio
This is a big beer. Don’t let the cartoon frog on the label fool you.
The York + Firestone/Walker =
where you need to be next week.
Here are the details:
“The incomparable Highland Park gastropub, The York will be hosting the second of what what will surely be a series of beer dinners on February 24th… with Firestone Walker Brewing Company!
Chef/bon vivant/all around good guy, Dimitri, will be announcing the full menu next week, but look for 5 courses, each paired with 5-6 oz. of Firestone’s beers. Beers lines up include Velvet Merkin, Union Jack and more…
The cost is $40 and includes all the food and beer.”
Jace from Firestone will be there to talk beer with the locals, and giving away some swag for the raffle.
Reservations available by calling (323) 255-9675 or mary@theyorkonyork.com.
Odonata Brewing
Another new (to me) brewery but not to Sacramento beer geeks is Odonata Beer Co..
Two of their newest and intriguing beers are “Water Witch, a rich, dark brown brew with red highlights. The beer recipe itself is for a Belgian Dark Strong Ale. What deviates slightly from the ‘official’ style guidelines is the maturation in red wine barrels, which lends a slightly acidic note to the finish.
Our first collaborative beer – made with the help of the Homebrew Chef, Sean Paxton! This is called Beersel, a name that pays homage to the place our yeast culture originated – in the bowels of the famed 3 Fonteinen brewery! This is a true Sour Ale, but not technically a Lambic (which is a spontaneously fermented beer) or Gueuze (lambics, blended). The grist and hopping is pretty much what the Senne Valley brewers use to make their lambics, however, with raw wheat, pale malted barley and whole flower hops aged 10 years.”
Colette from Great Divide
One of my favorite spots in Denver’s excellent beer scene is re-booting the saison and naming it Collete and making it available in six-packs.
Beer Haul from Halftime
In my quest to have a beer from each state, I have been buying beer from new sources. First was Bruisin’ Ales from North Carolina. Now it is Half Time Beverages from New York.
Here is what I got!
