Beer Hop in L.A.


Want to get out and taste beer in L.A. but you don’t want to fight traffic?

Well, now you can call L.A. Beer Hop. Motto: We have a bus. LA has beers. We’re going to take you to all of them.

“There is a fast-growing, delicious craft beer scene in Los Angeles. We’ve got breweries, beer bars, craft brew festivals, and 5-course meals with beer pairings. But, LA is also 500 square miles… that’s where we come in.

We are a charter bus company dedicated to bringing you to all of the best craft beer destinations and events in Los Angeles. We run public and private tours in our 15-passenger bus. Each tour has 3 destinations, lasts approximately 3 hours, and includes all beer tastings and a LA Beer Hop glass.”

Vinnibag

As is evidenced by my post on traveling with beer, the VinniBag might be a help to the traveler with a special, rare beer that must get home safe. The cost is $28.00 and it appears to only hold one bottle so this isn’t the tool to get vast quantities home. But if you have a beer that MUST get home then this will probably do the trick.

Beer in Japan

Yes, the world of apps are crowded. I had my choice of 8 metronome apps and those were just the free ones. And yes, many apps have one neat feature that grows old. The vuvuzela app that I had for all of 2 days would fit that description.

But the Beer in Japan app (an offshoot of the website of the same name) is in a small niche and it is useful.

You can plan your trip and then use it when you are in Japan to take notes too! It doesn’t require wi-fi and it has coupons!
