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.
Arnold
Angel Coast
You know summer and its high, high heat are here when the new pilsners start rolling in, here is another, this time from DTLAs Angel City…
Trois Années Cuvée
A lot of the letter E and accent marks from Angel City Brewery with their new release, Trois Années Cuvée, which is available in both 500ml bottles and on draft at their DTLA location.
Would be a suitably elegant way to close out L.A. Beer Week.
Olvera
Surprisingly Angel City Brewery is the first to name their Mexican lager after one of the most famous and historical spots in Los Angeles, Olvera Street.
The really evocative art is by Elisa Torres Art as curated by ArtShare LA.
Brass Monkey ’23
Brass Monkey from Angel City Brewery is back with the 2023 edition of the malt liquor mimosa. The fruit this year is ruby red blood oranges. The brewery describes it as a “light citrus aromas which lead to a boozy, medium bodied beer that’s slightly sweet to start but finishes dry with a note orange zest…”
Downtown Cellar
Kellerbier is the latest release from Angel City Eastside series which usually tackles Germanic styles a bit off the normal beer style track.
This is their DTLA take on a “historical German “Cellar Beer.” This unfiltered pale beer is fermented with lager yeast but is not lagered for too long so it’s served young and fresh – think of it like a rustic Pilsner without the maturation and aging. It has a slight toasted and malty flavor with hints of green apple, and the hops bring about herbal and floral qualities with a touch of fruity hop bitterness for balance.”
‘Cado 22
One of the yearly fun events on the L.A. beer calendar is the Avocado Festival at Angel City Brewery.
Angel City goes all out for this event and the crowd does as well.
Bridging
Angel City honors the past occupants of their brewery with Bridge Builder Hazy IPA.
Their DTLA Public House “was once formerly the John A. Roebling & Sons west coast warehouse, where they would manufacture steel cables to build some of the most iconic bridges across the country.”
Here are details on the beer, it “has an almost vanilla-like sweetness upfront, followed by pineapple, nectarines, fruit punch and strawberries with a full mouthfeel and a finishing tropical sweetness. Brewed in the very same warehouse that used to build bridges, it’s safe to say this brew really “bridges” the gap between our building’s past & present.”
Lousy Smarch Weather
Angel City Brewery recently released their first 2022 Art Series beer in conjunction with ArtShare LA. It is Lousy Smarch Weather.
The beer is a Belgian tripel and the label art is by Yaicecream. Maybe at the end of the year, they can do a mixed pack of all the Art Series beers.
Take the 5 to the 10
Two anniversaries to alert you to so that you can raise a glass or buy in celebration of. Mostly because parties are probably not in the cards.
Trustworthy Brewing in Burbank turns five this month
Angel City in the Arts District turns ten this month.
So find their beer, take a pic and wish them both happy birthhdays!
