Time to dip into the Oktoberfest well again with…
Prost, a toast to bock from Paperback Brewing in Glendale an Festbier from Claremont Craft Ales.
Oktoberfest SoCal – Part 4
Sean Suggests for June 2024
Since it is both L.A. Beer Week Month and Pride Month too, let’s jump into some happy hoppy IPAs brewed right here in the City of Angels.
Angel City LGBTQI(P)A+ – 4.7% – “an easy-drinking session IPA designed with warm June days in mind – brewed with Nectaron and Nelson Sauvin hops exclusively in the boil and whirlpool, and double dry-hopped to boot. It has a super fruity and tropical aroma, tropical fruit flavor and a dry, easy finish.”
Arrow Lodge / Claremont Craft Ales All the Mosaic – 7.5% – three different types of Mosaic hops fill this West Coast IPA collaboration.
Common Space Dealer’s Choice Triple Hazy IPA – 10% – with notes of dried mango, orange Starburst and lime.
Kiwi in Claremont
It’s been a bit since I have talked up Claremont Craft Ales but they have recently released their first New Zealand hopped beer….
If you haven’t visited their taproom, it is well worth the trip especially for a summer road trip.
Hazyville
I am not a dress up in a costume and go to a Halloween party guy but a Halloween Hazy release with a fun, classic horror label? I am here for it. Claremont Craft Ales is the place in two days time…..
CCA 11
Claremont Craft Ales has their 11th Anniversary Celebration coming up and it is a special one tinged with sadness as this year it is also celebration of Brian Seffer- the late head brewer and business partner.
The special release is called: “Brian’s Greatest Hits” — a variety pack which includes the return of ‘Pterodactyl’, ‘Pool Day’, and of course, ‘Happy Days.’ This will be available at the anniversary celebration (included in the VIP ticket price).”
“A portion of the sales will go to Head and Neck Cancer Alliance, a charity that is very near and dear to us here at CCA.”

Claremont to 11
If you hop to it, you can purchase your tickets for Claremont Craft Ales 11th Anniversary shindig which will make for a good day trip outside of most Angelenos normal beer radius.
No Clouds
Claremont Craft Ales recently released the latest in their Departure Series (they’ve reached double digits) #10- A Simcoe / Strata IPA named Clear As Day.
Good or Bad
Claremont Craft Ales should probably rename their new IPA to (Good) Fortune because ant new beer from them is indeed lucky for hop fans.
Blonde Day – Yuzu Dry
I like to see beer styles get a little reinvigorated. Blonde ale is one that fits the bill and Claremont Craft Ales has obliged by drying out their new summer release and adding yuzu as well.
are not lost
Cold IPA seems to pop up here and there like it wants to be a trend but is stuck in second gear. If you haven’t made up your mind about the style, there is a new release from Claremont Craft Ales for you…
