I headed to Koreatown to congratulate John and Julie and also to have a couple beers from their L.A. centric curated tap list:

  • Gams-Bart — LA Ale Works
  • Vigil — Monkish Brewing
  • Wolf Among Weeds — Golden Road Brewing
  • Groundwork Coffee Porter — Smog City
  • White Dog IPA — El Segundo Brewing Co.
  • Solidarity on Nitro — Eagle Rock Brewing
  • Craftsman Brewing — 1903 Lager
  • Firestone Walker — Unfiltered DBA
  • Hangar 24 — Pugachev’s Cobra
  • Ohana Brewing Co. — Live and Let Rye

I really enjoyed the new Ohana option and the catchy name as well.  I also got a taster of 2012 Unity from Eagle Rock.

Raise a glass to year two of Beer of Tomorrow!

The Beer Allowance – August

So this month, not that I was in dire need of beer. I just received the Stone 16th Anniversary IPA. But the $20 was burning a hole in my pocket and I had just learned via Beer of Tomorrow that a liquor store near me stocked craft beer so I headed to Bill’s Liquor in Atwater Village and took my $20 to spend.

And this is what I got….

Now, I wish to explain the reasoning behind this choice. I could have picked up the Ommegang Biere de Hougomont. (spell check that beer lovers) but that would have shot the wad on one bottle. They had Golden Road’s Wolf Among Weeds but I had already tried that. Some nice foreign beers as well but I decided to stay semi-local and try an offering from IE that I had at last year’s Brew at the Zoo and the anniversary ale from Bootleggers. Risky? Yes. But that is what this monthly allotment is for. To buy the beers that you have walked past before. Reviews will be up on both Untappd and Ratebeer when I decide to crack them open.
