Wow, two months of 2014 are already in the books!  March will hopefully bring some rain to our parched streets of L.A. so that we can fully enjoy the full range of beers.  And speaking of full range, I will be talking Las Vegas, Single Malt beers from the O.C. and Terrapin this month along with beer reviews and event listings and other tomfoolery.

~ Three suggested beers to buy this month
~ I will tap the Firkin and give my no holds barred opinion on the craft beer world
~ … and Session # 85 will converge bloggers onto a single topic, this month Why do we drink alcohol from host Baltimore Bistros and Beers

In the Tap Lines for May 2013

If April is when the beer events kick up a notch then May in Los Angeles is when it goes up all the way to 11 and in between the new beers and beer reviews and brewery tours (the sit in your chair kind), I will endeavor to keep you updated on what is happening in the Southland.  To that end I have updated the LA Craft Beer Resources page.  More links but easier to find what you are in the mood for beer-wise.  I also updated my personal favorite page as well.  So check out what I like and compare to what You like.
