If you think about, if you followed my beer buying advice, you would have purchased 36 really great beers. But there are so many more out there. Changing at such a rapid pace that even the most speedee drinker couldn’t catch them all. So, let’s find more new ones on Southern California shelves.

Perennial Artisan Ales/ Saison Lis 5.00% ABV
“A straw colored Belgian-style Saison brewed with chamomile flowers. It is fermented with a traditional saison yeast strain that imparts fruity and spicy notes that dovetail perfectly with the tea-like quality of the chamomile. Finishes dry, tart, and refreshing.”

Victory Brewing/ Moving Parts 2 6.40% ABV
“We like to mix it up. New flavors, new ideas, new ingredients; we welcome them all. In celebration of our penchant for prolific experimentation, we present Moving Parts: The Ever-Evolving IPA. Each release in this series (every four months) celebrates a tweaked ingredient or two, creating an endless array of possible flavor profiles. For us, Moving Parts are a good thing!”

Anchor Brewing/ Zymaster No. 7 7.00% ABV
“Portrero Hill Sour-Mash IPA. The mash is sour but the beer is not. Instead, the sour mash we blend with our regular mash results in this IPA’s unique piquancy. The dry tartness from the sour mash, the bitterness from the Nelson Sauvin hops, and the subtle spiciness from the rye meld to create a singular, thirst-quenching IPA with a clean, crisp finish. Dry-hopping with Nelson Sauvin adds tropical complexity with notes of grapefruit, mandarin orange, and passion fruit. “
