Booming 10 – Part 2

Before the big 10th Anniversary weekend happens at Boomtown Brewery, I was part of a media contingent that got to peek BtS.

And more importantly, got to taste a few of the beers currently on tap which I will get to in a moment.

We crossed over the causeway into a piece of Los Angeles building history and the current brewing area for Boomtown. The double arched ceilings have seen wine production, munitions and now malt and hops.

The brewdeck is in one corner with brite tanks and fermenting vessels surrounding it. Another corner houses the malt and grist mill. Boomtown does a morning brew and then a night brew so the malt haas to be at the ready. A conveyor takes the malt up and over into the brew corner. Kind of a typical set-up for a small brewery.

I started with the rice lager which was nice and crisp, checked out the flagship Bad Hombre as well as the Belgian Golden Strong Ale, Submission. But the winners of the night were tge Good Boy Decoy Oatmeal Stout and the latest peach tinged Brett Michaels Sour. The former was simple with a touch of sweetness and a delivery system for malt. The latter tasted as if it was straight from a brand new oak barrel.

If anything on the above menu board strikes your fancy, you just might want to visit this 21st through 23rd.

Review – Unity 2024 Hoppy Pilsner from Boomtown Brewery

Boomtown Brewery tucked between the Arts District and Union Station is the Unity host for 2024. Unity being the Los Angeles County Brewers Guild collaborative beer for L.A. Beer Week.

The graffitied cans holds a hoppy pilsner and I both had it on draft and bought a four-pack as well because it is really good for the incipient L.A. summer.

The celebratory beer pours a straw color with light fruity hops being the predominant taste. I get both grape and orange. This almost tastes pale ale to me but the carbonation and the heft of the beer does keep it tethered to the lighter side of the ledger.

Boomtown Day – Tacos and $3.00

In the near future or yesterday, if we want news and journalists out there muckraking then we are going to have to pay for it. Except maybe if you check out L.A. Taco and their new perk for monthly members.

They have teamed with Boomtown Brewery for discounts on beers at the DTLA taproom! You can stay current with what in the f-ing heck is going on in L.A. while also getting a beer. That is a good deal.

Boom You’re Nine

Away from the trendy and busy Arts District by a Metro line and a few blocks is Boomtown Brewery. Not a foot traffic spot is what I am saying.

But they have reached the nine year mark and will be celebrating with lots of music, a strength of theirs, and a space that hums with activity.

Add to your February to-do list.

Changing Times

Boomtown Brewery  has “changed” up their latest Artist canned IPA with Changeling.  Here is more info from the DTLA brewery. “Designed by the artist, activist and environmental consultant Lucia Gaia Pohlman , Changeling was born out of the chaos of 2020 and is a call to invite us to examine our place in the world and consciously decide how we step into a new future together with a beer in hand. 

The artist describes the work as, “Not quite humanoid creatures dancing in a new way.” These figures house a wallop of delight in the form of a Hazy DIPA, that clocks in at 8.4% ABV and IBU 35. The beer has a nose of Guava, Orange Creamsicle, Hop Spice with flavors of Pomelo, Lemon Pith and Peach. Made with Galaxy, Mosaic and Cascade hops.”
