Sean Suggests for December 2024

Collaborations x 3 this month as we travel around the Golden State from San Diego to Los Angeles to Sacramento via new hops and old recipes.

MacLeod / Tomm Carroll Oat Malt Stout – 4.6% – “this sub-style, which was made with malted oats (along with malted barley), not oat flakes or oatmeal, was first brewed by Maclay & Co., LTD of Alloa, Scotland around 1894.”

Smog City / Pizza Port PC Load Letter White IPA – 6.5% – “Packed with a rock-solid punch of grapefruit and zesty yuzu, juicy hits of peach and apricot, and a smooth herbal backbone, it’s the ultimate cure for a case of the Mondays.”

Urban Roots / Societe Fun Fare IPA – 7.1% – “stacked with Krush, Krush Cryo, Krush Dynaboost, Citra, and Nectaron hops, so expect your taste buds to be flying first class.”

Buzzed 24

Each year Smog City Brewing releases Buzzworthy a “bourbon barrel-aged honey stout brewed with over 600 pounds of raw buckwheat honey…”

Two things have changed this year.  First it’s in cans and there is a special red wine barrel-aged variant for 2024.  And you know that Smog City does barrel-aged variants quite well.

My lucky number is 9 so whenever a brewery reaches that milestone, I consider it a good omen.  And Brewyard Beer Co. right here in Glendale has hit that mark before the end of the year and has a multitude of plans for the special day.  

I would also consider attending a good omen.

So Are the Days of Our Lives

First off, head over to Instagram to watch THIS…

… now that you are back, I am honestly intrigued by this glass.  Not that I need any more beer glassware until I break more but I would like to at least attempt to pour into the hourglass and then attempt to drink from it without spilling over my chin.

Christmas Beer Time – Day 12

Let’s get back within my driving radius with holiday beers from SoCal for a couple days. First is the Winter Ale from Smog City Brewing.

“A bold blend of fall-inspired flavors awaits: juniper and pine top notes, sweet caramel and toffee aromas, and a bright, citrusy spruce finish.

Crafted with hand-crushed juniper berries, spruce tips, and a complex layer of crystal malts, this winter warmer is perfect for cozy fireside sips or pairing with your holiday feasts!”
