Sean Suggests for March 2024

Staying local for March and also canvassing a wide array of styles so that your palate does not get stuck.  And yes, I do not approve of green beer and the first selection is a green hued beer, but, in my defense, it is also a sour.  So that means less of a points deduction.

Far Field Made With Luck Sour  – 4.1% – “As  luck would have it, your favorite clover-green sour ale returns to our shelves and draft lines just ahead of St. Patrick’s Day.”

Creature Comforts Spring Belgian-Style White Ale – 5.1% – “We’ve got Spring Fever. Our fresh take on the classic Belgian-Style White Ale is brewed with orange peel, coriander, and local wheat from Day Spring Farms.”

Enegren Brewing Doppel Valkyrie – 8.2% – “a double version of our beloved flagship altbier, Valkyrie and a throwback to some of our first anniversary beers.  This strong, dark ale has rich flavors of dark fruits with hints of dark chocolate and rum, balanced with just a touch of Mt. Hood and Herkules hops.

Simply LA via GA

In honor of the finally realized Los Angeles outpost of Creature Comforts Brewing, there is a barrel-aged stout simply named LA.

It is a blend of whiskey barrel-aged beer with an average age of 30 months.  Studded with pistachios, almond and vanilla beans.

Might make a good Turkey Day special or Christmas gift.

1st Visit – Creature Comforts LA

I am still scratching my head as to when it was first reported that Georgia based Creature Comforts Brewing was going to plant an outpost in Los Angeles, but it has been years.

I moseyed down to their San Julian and 12th address to see what the space and beers look like…

…and it is a really cool space. The Russo Brothers Motion Picture Universe is above them and they have two floors of space for brewing and canning.

The block also includes a coffee shop, a pizza place and the fancy Rossoblu restaurant as well plus it is super near the hustle and bustle of Santee Alley which is an L.A. institution.

I had four beers from different sections of the menu. A double dry hopped version of their flagship IPA, Tropicalia. Bibo pilsner as well as their sour Neon Cylinders, a rotating version, this time Rowdy Red which was 8% but tasted like 4%.

My favorite was the last. Just filled with cranberry and super tasty but within months, we will start to see Los Angeles brewed beer and that will require a second visit.

Comfortable – Part 2

Way back in 2020, I posted THIS about the Georgia brewery Creature Comforts coming to Los Angeles. Fast forward to June 2023 and I notice that at the Hopped booth at the Los Angeles Independent Beer Festival was a talk with Victor Montalvo of Creature Comforts LA.

So, I guess that despite the passage of years and a weakened craft beer market, that the plan is back on for Creature Comforts.

Comfort Level

The two collaborating breweries for this hazy DIPA need no introduction. But the reason for highlighting Get Comfortable 2021 is not the hops but rather, the fact that this is another charity beer. You get great beer and the world gets better.

I would like to see in L.A. 2019

from Oregon – Fort George Brewing

I know I won’t get the 3-Way IPA’s or special releases but a little of the core line-up from Astoria would be great.

from New York – Finback

A little got thrown to us in late 2017 and early 2018, so maybe we can get some more this year.

from Colorado – Odells

We get a lot of Colorado beer but if I saw Odells, I would buy my share.

from Georgia – Creature Comforts

I have had a little of beers from this brewery but I would love to try a range and see how well they do different styles.
