No, it is not a code name for a spy thriller, it is a very famous Flemish sour ale. One that I need to have a taste of again.
Brews Brothers is going all in on Duchesse de Bourgogne with a Verhaeghe Brewery Beer Dinner at their Burbank Brewpub on January 27th. It will be a 5-course meal expertly paired with Verhaeghe Brewery’s finest beers.
There are precious few beer pairing dinners out there and even fewer with Belgian beer so you may want to snap up this opportunity.
Add another casualty to the brewery list as Burbank’s Trustworthy Brewing Co. will arrive at their 8th anniversary and then close up for good at the end of January.

You just might find the right beer for Thanksgiving pairing or a gift for Christmas.
Handy Market has been a Burbank staple for years and with my love of going to non-chain grocery stores / grocery boutiques a miss on my part. But after seeing a few beer posts from the store, I decides to drive a town over and see what I had missed.
It is a tiny space in comparison to most grocery stores but the first positive point was the availability of single cans. I picked up a pils from Highland Park and a pastry sour (never had one of those) from Ogopogo. The next positive was the double endcaps of beer. This was where most of the bottled and barrel-aged resided. There was Bottle Logic but also a couple Belgians and de Garde as well. Third positive was the prices were pretty fair. $5.50 for a local beer is pretty good.
The one down is that it is only the small cold case in the corner. It was a limited selection though one last up, was that it seemed to be curated well.
The forecast is hazy for Burbank on July 13th as Tony’s Darts Away showcases hazy IPAs. This is a ticketed event which gets you a sampling glass and unlimited teeny tiny two ounce pours. Some breweries you will see are Highland Park, North Park, Ogopogo, Ambitious Ales and Burgeon Beer.
Tony’s Darts Away in Burbank has reached year 14 which means another version of the Darts Away IPA is drawing closer. And a whole weekend of fun on May 25th and 26th.
For 2024, TDA has enlisted four breweries to collaborate with. Beachwood Brewing, Highland Park Brewery, MadeWest Brewing and Stalking Horse.
