For Q1 (plus a little), past trends hold for the most part with IPA netting 68 of 148 total tasted beers and 32 of that 68 was straight up West Coast style. Below are other findings…
- Pilsners & Lagers was the second most sipped style with 22, followed by Barrel-Aged with 18.
- Firestone Walker was the most frequent brewery with 17, followed by Stone at 9 and Creature Comforts and Von Ebert tied at 7.
- Most beers tasted were brewed in California (30) , not counting strictly Los Angeles (18) with 10 breweries from Oregon then 7 from Foreign breweries
- The average ABV is a bit on the high side at 7.51% but I do expect that to fall as summer goes on.
