Before the big 10th Anniversary weekend happens at Boomtown Brewery, I was part of a media contingent that got to peek BtS.
And more importantly, got to taste a few of the beers currently on tap which I will get to in a moment.
We crossed over the causeway into a piece of Los Angeles building history and the current brewing area for Boomtown. The double arched ceilings have seen wine production, munitions and now malt and hops.
The brewdeck is in one corner with brite tanks and fermenting vessels surrounding it. Another corner houses the malt and grist mill. Boomtown does a morning brew and then a night brew so the malt haas to be at the ready. A conveyor takes the malt up and over into the brew corner. Kind of a typical set-up for a small brewery.
I started with the rice lager which was nice and crisp, checked out the flagship Bad Hombre as well as the Belgian Golden Strong Ale, Submission. But the winners of the night were tge Good Boy Decoy Oatmeal Stout and the latest peach tinged Brett Michaels Sour. The former was simple with a touch of sweetness and a delivery system for malt. The latter tasted as if it was straight from a brand new oak barrel.
If anything on the above menu board strikes your fancy, you just might want to visit this 21st through 23rd.
