Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Theakston has recently announced that the famed Old Peculier is returning to distribution in the United States.
Currently only on the East Coast but maybe a few will trickle West. The beer had an export run in the U.S. from 1976 to 2013 but ten years is a long time away. Absence might make the heart grow fonder though.
Looks like L.A. will get a little more Haight and Dogpatch as San Francisco’s Magnolia Brewing Company has partnered with Guardian Distribution to get more kegs on draft throughout Los Angeles County.
Be on the look out for flagships brands Blue Bell Bitter (which has shown up at rare times in LA), Proving Ground IPA, Prescription Pale and Kalifornia Kölsch plus seasonals and limited release beers from time to time.
Founder and brewmaster Dave McLean was in L.A. earlier this month to meet and greet to promote the new flow of beer to us. I missed it because of a little election thingy that took my attention that week.
