Sean Suggests for September 2025

Moonlight Brewing Cellar Clown – 5.3% – “This Märzen-style Lager has light malty notes of biscuit, and a flavor so delicately balanced it’s like riding a unicycle on a tightrope.”

Beachwood Tailgate Mate IPA – 6.7% – new football season IPA with Krush Cryo, Krush, Rakau, Ekuanot, Simcoe, Riwaka Hop Kief

8one8 Brewing Nuts & Bolts Brown Ale – 6.7% – “Built from the ground up with classic UK ingredients, Nuts & Bolts is a full-bodied brown ale that brings together tradition and bold flavor. Brewed with earthy Fuggle hops and rich British brown malt, it pours a deep mahogany hue with a creamy head. Expect layers of roasted nut, toasted bread, and subtle cocoa balanced by a smooth malt sweetness and a touch of earthy hop bitterness.”

Osborne

The long in the works, twist and turns journey to a brewpub is now reality for 8one8 Brewing. 

Their new pizza restaurant is called the Osborne Pizza Kitchen and is located right next door to the brewery taproom.  They had a soft launch on July 10th. 

All the more reason to re-visit this corner of the Los Angeles beer scene.

Santa’s Pint Glass – Day 15

We drive through the valley, staying in the same area code to review a San Fernando meets Belgium winter ale from 8One8 Brewing.

The label proclaims “aged with cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom and cloves” none of which really stride into frame. This has a St. Bernardus Christmas Ale vibe but it seems to be missing something. The aftertaste isn’t as rounded. A little too sharp. Maybe the 2022 batch will amp the spice up.

1st Visit – 8one8 Brewing

On a recent warm Sunday afternoon, I took a little drive on the Reagan freeway to check out the recently opened 8one8 Brewing taproom which just recently opened.

I ordered up a flight and had it delivered to me at my table along with a water! Here are my quick hit reviews:
Bodie’z Pale Ale – rye and mosaic. More rye than hops to me little bit green too
1st Stage IPA – smells light. More session. Grain forward to me.
Good Day DIPA – bronze color. Way too much caramel. No hops at all. Not great.
Gravity Hill Belgian – big banana esters. Little overboard on it. Doesn’t grow on me.

There is a lot in front and I like part of the decor. It has a flight freight Indiana Jones decor going on but then that is a bit diminished by a Staples open sign, some “art” 2 and two TVs tuned to the Dodgers.

There is a nice amount of space inside with 22oz bottles to go. I was given a shade more than the taster fill line which was probably the opening week hospitality in effect.

They have some room to grow but a decent start for this brewery.
