Any brewery anniversary is lucky. Claremont Craft Ales is turning 13 years of age this year so save the date for their weekend-long party on June 21st and 22nd.
Next Month – CCA 13
13 Angels
Tattoos are cool but the needles scare the crap out of me, but maybe, with a big enough beer, I might be able to survive, maybe.
If tattoos and the lucky number 13 are better for you, then head to DTLA, Angel City Brewery is the place to be on May 18th.
Select # 13
Any anniversary reached is a good milestone. And thankfully, the really cool Select Beer Store will be celebrating their 13th anniversary on March 15th.
Lucky 13 for the GT
Next weekend at around this time, the Glendale Tap will be hosting a 13th Anniversary shindig at their San Fernando Boulevard location.
They have 52 taps and loads of cellar quality bottles so expect quite a few surprises.
Sean Suggests for July 2024
This month we are staying in California for our beer shopping list but we will travel far when it comes to different styles so buckle up.
Enegren 13th Anniversary Czech-Style Amber Lager – 4.8% – This lager features a perfect blend of malt sweetness and mild bitterness, offering flavors of caramel, toasted bread, and a hint of spice. Crafted to honor our legacy, it boasts a clean, crisp finish that leaves you wanting more.”
21st Amendment Hell or High Twilight – 5.6% – “a citrus wheat ale brewed with sweet orange peel and natural flavor.” The latest in the Hell or series.
Ambitious Ales / Riip Beer All in the HIIPS – West Coast IPA – 7.2% – “Making a WCIPA that was truly a balance of both our house brewing styles. Starting with a super pale malt base to showcase the massive punch of Mosaic and Riwaka we threw in both the kettle and dry hop, then just a kiss of Hop Kief to round it out! Booming with big notes of dankness, pink grapefruit, melon, and fruit from the tropics!”
Beachwood 13
On Saturday, July 13th, the mighty Beachwood Brewing will be celebrating 13 years of brewing IPAs and all sorts of other styles at all five Beachwood locations. Five locations and thirteen years which is amazing. Pick your favorite spot and have fun!
Save the Date – 5 / 18 / 24
In a little over two weeks, El Segundo Brewing will unleash their 13th anniversary upon Los Angeles craft beer fans so get that calendar updated either paper or digital or both.
Teenager
BSP blog favorite Smog City Brewing is primed to celebrate their 13th anniversary of brewing beer in Torrance. There will be a special anniversary beer along with their new ESB made from Infinite Wishes second runnings and maybe even some bottles of Infinite Wishes to buy.
Tony is 13, the Darts, Who Knows
I do not follow hashtags but if they are still a thing, then #TDA13 will probably start trending at midnight as we transition from May 19th to 20th.
The event is the 13th anniversary of Tony’s Darts Away in Burbank where crowds gather to be the first to have a midnight beer, this year brewed by Beachwood Brewing.
Then over the weekend there will be hourly special tappings of fun beers that will get beer geeks frothing.
I haven’t seen a midnight in a bit but I am tempted.
Sour Day – Beer Review – Lucky 13 from Eagle Rock Brewery
Semi- quietly, Eagle Rock Brewery hit year 13. So, time to review their anniversary sour…
This blended sour ale from Wood #0011 pours a muddy red color. Aroma wise, the sour is there a bit but no cherry taste pops up. First sip is very weird. Getting very pastry bread hit right off the top. Not super sour. As it warms up a skosh, the cherry pie flavors take the foreground but that aggressive breadiness is still there at the back. If I could hold that cherry note all the way through would like this better.
