Cellarmaker Brewing Co. has some cool 10th Anniversary beers with SoCal connections….
Czech GPT, now that is a cheeky use of the versatile Czech as pun generator. Plus a darn good trio of breweries for a pale lager.
Then Blaze Runner with Alvarado Street and Green Cheek. That is four killer collaborators.
Day 2 of #LABW8 is a friendly takeover of Highland Park by Cellarmaker from the Bay Area.
First up is Trading Burritos….
Brett IPA. Cloudy orange juice look. Has a sticky taste to the back. Hops are really juicy. The Brett isn’t big barnyard which is good. Guava aroma? Tropical fruit for sure.
..then Baby Blammo
A Donut Friend collaboration. Stout with Angry Samoas from the next door donut house. Barrel aroma. Bit of smoke note to it. As it warms more chocolate starts revealing itself. It is probably too rich to even pair with donuts.
This event got busy just like last year. With the bright and oppresively hot light streaming in it was hard to read the beer list to the point where I wish the beers were better listed. Which are collars and which are Cellarmaker.
