ISM Brewing is ready for their 1st year anniversary close-up in Long Beach next month and I can bet it will include some fun beer and food treats.
1SM
Comfortable in L.A.
The Georgia based Creature Comforts Brewing has reached the one year mark for their south of downtown, Fashion District L.A. outpost and will spend the first weekend of November celebrating. Maybe they will have a few autumnal beers on tap to ease into the holiday season with.
Back to Year One
One benefit of taking over an existing brewery is the opportunity to turn back the anniversary clock. Project Barley Square is taking that tack with the new 1st anniversary for their Torrance location.
Every One
Everywhere Beer Co. down in Anaheim will be doing that 1st Anniversary thing. Here is where I say that it might be a good time to visit their tap room if you haven’t before.
Anniversary Report – Far Field’s 1st
A great way to finish July. That is the main takeaway from the 1st Anniversary party at Far Field Beer Co.
It took a year but I finally was able to have a drink at Far Field in their second floor space with pretty seafoam green tables and barrels that allowed one (me) to look over the 1st anniversary crowd that arrived to celebrate the brewery among the car repair shops on Rosecrans.
And to start with, Hyper Link their dry hopped pilsner. The pils pours a darker yellow color with an aggressive hop hit that the style holds up pretty well without tipping out of balance. The draft list was nice and big for the occasion with an oyster stout, Italian pilsner as well as their new Triple IPA, Triangularity.
The brewery section was open as many vendors were open from warm cookies to flowers to tea were on hand. The music was pumping forcing conversation up a notch and dogs and kids were underfoot lending a backyard family gathering feel to the sweltering day.
The beer line was a bit slow but never aggressively long though a second line might have helped as would an ixnay on flights, of which I saw many.
TRIPA was my second choice. Both silky and spiky at the same time. The alcohol was softened though it did have a tiny touch of butteryness to it underneath along with a tropical fruit note as well.
One for Far Field
Far Field Beer Co. is turning 1 and is going to have a weekend of celebration to mark the occasion.

One Law
Lawless Brewing has hit the one year mark in North Hollywood…
…with the exciting news of their first barrel-aged sour beer. If you haven’t visited this would be a good time to start.
Tomorrow!
Head over to the corner former Firestone Tire building to help All Season Brewing celebrate one year of brewing….
I wonder what style the 1st Anniversary beer will be.
One Radiant
I have been a fan of Radiant Beer™ Co. . I noticed that I buy their brightly colored and positive vibe named beers whenever I see them Now they are heading towards their first anniversary in early February.
No big ticketed bash but instead a “weekend-long birthday party to celebrate. The team at Radiant has new beer releases and nostalgic birthday party activities lined up just for the occasion.”
More info on the festivities, “Rotating food trucks will offer special menu items throughout the weekend, along with a surprise collaboration that is yet to be announced. In addition to new beer releases and specialty treatments, guests can look forward to a cask tapping, a unique glassware sale, live music, merchandise offers, limited supply surprise gifts, and expanded offerings of the frozen treats that fans near and far have come to love at Radiant.”
Surfridge #1
Surfridge Brewing In El Segundo is one of many breweries who lost an anniversary due to Covid. But if you hop on it, you can get a bottled celebration with a barrel-aged oatmeal stout. Get your online ordering on.
