New Customs

L.A. or other locales may be tired of hearing about how great Portland and their beer scene is but I am afraid to have to rub it in some more as it was recently announced that a new beer and culture festival, MXPDX is coming to the Rose City on July 19th.

The goal is to intertwine both Mexico and Oregon craft cultures and communities in Portland (this year and in Mexico in 2026) for this inaugural party.  13 central Mexico breweries will be sending beer and also brewing collaborations with Oregon brewers and cidermakers.

To the North

Beer festivals do not have the same luster as in the glory days of years past but one way to combat fest fatigue is to try out one outside of your town with breweries less known. And for Angelenos, we have the neighbor to the south who have plenty of festivals that can provide a jolt of the new.

Such as the North Park Beer Fest

Just from a quick glance at the breweries attending, I see Goal and Hopworks and quite a few others that could make this a cool event.

Walk

The Brew Walk Craft Beer Festival is back for its second year.

It has featured breweries / local favorites that are not the usual suspects such as Norwalk Brew House, La Bodega Brewing Co. from Whittier, Brewjeria Company from Pico Rivera, Cerveza Xteca from San Diego, and Cerveza Cito hailing from Santa Ana. 

And 100% of the proceeds from Brew Walk will directly benefit St. Linus School, that money goes to supporting educational programs and resources for the students.  Maybe one of whom will become a brewer in the future.

Ogopogo at 6

I like a small beer festival. I feel like I can actually taste the full rainbow if there is a tight mix of breweries. And Ogopogo Brewing is using their 6th anniversary to throw a little shindig in San Gabriel.

I am especially interested in Craft Coast and Burgeon and what they may be tapping.

A Graveyard Smash

Each year the Orange County Brewers Guild scare up the Brewers Mash in October for local beers and frights.

The frightful fest is on October 26th this year at the Heritage Museum of Orange County.  So get your costumes ready for some trick-or-treating and maybe some spooky special releases.

Montrose and Beer

The Montrose Craft Beer Fest returns for the 8th time in the foothills just north of Glendale on April 30th.  As of a month out, twelve breweries were on the slate and before you go, that is too little of a headcount.  Riip, Everywhere, the new version of Cellador, Beachwood, El Segundo and Tarantula Hill will be there which is a good start.
