I am not into Avocado or guacamole which puts me into a minority here in Los Angeles. There is always an exception though, and for me it is the Avocado Ale from Angel City Brewery which I find to be an excellent summer drink.
This year is the twelfth edition of the Avocado Ale Fest in DTLA. Get there early as lines grow and try this summer tradition ale,
Since it is both L.A. Beer Week Month and Pride Month too, let’s jump into some happy hoppy IPAs brewed right here in the City of Angels.
Angel City LGBTQI(P)A+ – 4.7% – “an easy-drinking session IPA designed with warm June days in mind – brewed with Nectaron and Nelson Sauvin hops exclusively in the boil and whirlpool, and double dry-hopped to boot. It has a super fruity and tropical aroma, tropical fruit flavor and a dry, easy finish.”
Arrow Lodge / Claremont Craft Ales All the Mosaic – 7.5% – three different types of Mosaic hops fill this West Coast IPA collaboration.
Common Space Dealer’s Choice Triple Hazy IPA – 10% – with notes of dried mango, orange Starburst and lime.
This month is going to be all about L.A. Beer Week posts, so buckle up. Of course the signature event is the festival in Long Beach but lets get some other events talked about like to start, this fun event in, checking notes, Long Beach…

June 18 – Calling all Cicerones, beer nerds, home brewers, pro-brewers, and just general trivia fans! Brush up on your beer knowledge and head to the Angle City taproom on Tuesday, June 18th. We’re celebrating LA Beer Week with beer-themed trivia.
More events on scheduled, these are just my first set of picks. More to come.
I am sure everyone has encountered the issue of being at a taproom of a brewery and getting a bit peckish, only to discover that the food truck cancelled or is running late.
One way to get around that problem is to bring food in house which is what Angel City Brewery has done with a new food truck – House Made by Angel City. It promises “craft-beer-worthy bites out of a trailer situated in our brewery’s parking lot…”
Next time in DTLA, you might want to check it out.
Angel City Brewery has a new Artist Series beer out and inside the pretty label is a not often brewed or canned style, Biere de Mars.
The DTLA version of “this Belgian-style table ale is a lightly veiled, crispy springtime refresher brewed with a medley of natural herbs like purple sage, Yerba Santa, yarrow & California bay leaf, giving it a mixture of fruity and herby notes on the tongue alongside floral and earthy aromatics.”
Angel City, inspired by Champurrado are releasing a namesake Champurrado Ale.
Here is the brewery description: “Inspired by the chocolatey Mexican Atole, this creamy ale is made with all the champurrado fixings you can find from your local street cart: corn masa, cocoa powder, panela sugar, lactose, cinnamon, and vanilla all come together to give you a smooth, sweet ale that will warm you up with every sip.”
I call this a good use of the pastry stout category.
Black Is Beautiful is back with Volume 2. It will be a hazy IPA and Samuel Adams has teamed with their own Angel City to lend support to Weathered Souls the lead of this project to bring awareness and some donations to the National Black Brewers Association.
Got another spooky season release for you, “Nite Terrors, a sinister twist on our White Nite Golden Stout. This nocturnal version is an Imperial Golden Stout with heaps of cacao nibs and espresso coffee.”
Angel City will have you in the Halloween spirit after drinking since it is a tiny 10% ABV.
Angel City is pushing the Arnold Palmer name to the breaking point with Farmhold Palmer, a barrel-aged sour ale with tea & lemon. I am a sucker for beers with tea so I will have to find this one for summer.
