Fig(ure) 8


Not a week goes by without an anniversary around Los Angeles, and here’s a November party to plan on, at Figueroa Mountain in Buellton.

What caught my eye, more than the invite to dress in 1920’s style is the 8th Anniversary beer, a “small-batch, barrel-aged release developed to be reminiscent of an Old Fashioned cocktail with notes of oak, vanilla, caramel, orange, and cherry.”

8th Anniversary Ale will be available to-go in 22oz., wax-topped bottles, in limited supply for $15.99 at the event. You can also purchase the 7th Anniversary Ale beer which have been pulled from a secret supply for a double win.

Tony’s Darts Away turns 8 this month and as per custom will be tapping beers all weekend long.

This year the special Darts Away anniversary beer has been brewed by sibling and Belgian Brewpub, Bluebird Brasserie. One example of what will be on tap is all three “Russian River Brewing Co. Wild Ales including Concentration 2015 Vintage, Supplication 2017 Vintage, and Temptation 2017 Vintage.”

It all starts at midnight on Friday May 18th and goes until Sunday, the 20th.

Eagle Rock Brewery is one of the standard bearers of the L.A. beer scene and they are now turning 8 and celebrating in hazy style!

Here are the initial plans for that day….
“And you’re invited to the party! Since we’re considered “so old-school” now in the exploding beer community in LA, we’re gonna celebrate with an old-school luau from 12p-6p on Sunday January 28, 2018. We’ll be serving up a whole roasted pig, offering a bunch of super-special beers on draft, AND releasing our 8-year anniversary beer! Juice Pop (hazy double IPA) will be released on draft and available in 4-packs of 16oz cans that day.”

The Ocho for Strand


Strand will be celebrating 8 years of Torrance brewed beers on November 18th.

If you haven’t been to there now, not as new, digs, well you are in for a treat because it is a lovely space. Might I suggest a 24th Street Pale be the first beer to toast with.

Crazy 8’s

Instead of one big blowout bash that winds through the Blue Palms and Fonda Theater, this year on 8 8 16, (Hey, that adds up!) the storied Hollywood craft beer haven will “be tapping 8 specialty kegs every day for 8 days.”
