Ever since I read the distress post from Mt. Lowe Brewing in Arcadia, I wanted to go back and re-visit. On a recent gray, rain threatening Saturday, I braved the always sluggish 210 Freeway to have a few beers to see what was up.
And I saw pitcher after pitcher going to the Pasadena Rugby Club who apparently are cool with no aroma, flat beer which hopefully helps this at risk brewery out. I tried out a coffee version of their Hills Are Alive IPA which I quite liked. A nice balance of coffee notes to hops with neither getting the upper hand. The two following tasters were less successful and I think I may have gotten the same beer twice and not two different tasters. Though they were filled right up to the brim.
The beertenders were working hard and there was a steady line to order so maybe folks are in supportive help mode which is good to see.
