Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Behind the scenes, beer recipes get tweaked quite a bit. Might be due to supply issues or ingredient quality but sometimes it is because the brewer and brewery have a “could be better” attitude.
Such is the case for El Segundo Brewing who have been playing with their saison Aileron for a bit now and have come to a happy place with it now and to mark the occasion, have changed the name to ….
Look for it in better beer stores.
In two days time, El Segundo Brewing will be bringing ALL the hops with their annual…..
…so get yourself ready for DIPAs and TIPAs and even QIPAs.
The holidays contain a bit of stress in the run-up to a day of fun on the 25th and El Segundo Brewing knows that you might need a break. To put your feet up.
There is a new hopped up collaboration out from Beachwood and El Segundo following on the heels of Eyes to the Sky earlier this year.
Get out your brewing dictionary, it’s time for…
El Segundo Brewing has another new festbier season beer out with home brewer extraordinaire, John Palmer. This time a Czech Dark Lager. I will be on the lookout for it.
Kudos to both leaning into a perceived negative and bringing back a blast from the past.
El Segundo Brewing has created a new pale ale as a house beer (which used to be a thing back in the olden days of excess capacity) for two bars. One is the Library Alehouse and the other being the The Richmond.
The name….
Yup, craft beer dads have a bad reputation from ticking too much on Untappd to being so not cool that the kids are moving away to other beverages to distance themselves.
El Segundo Brewing is known for their hops but they dabble in other styles including lighter beers but do not expect IPL’s slash CIPA. What you will see next is Gemeinschaft a Hoppy West Coast Lager with Chinook, Centennial, Amarillo, and Citra hops.
We are going full on L.A. Beer Week beers for this month’s shopping list. From two Freaky Friday South Bay friends to a Crenshaw collaboration.
El Segundo Squirrel-Toothed Tiger – 6.7% – “We went hoppier, Americanier, and, dare we say, downright more majestic than a pre-historic squirrel on their best day. Sure, the tiger may look friendly, albeit a little funny, but it remains a tiger with an inherent instinct to kill nonetheless!”
Crowns & Hops / Los Angeles Ale Works Down Crenshaw IPA – 7% – Mosaic, Nelson and Enigma hops headline this dank West Coast IPA Boulevard.
Smog City Smogberry IPA – 7.2% – Smog City re-imagines the iconic Mayberry IPA.
If you want a West Coast IPA, brewed right here in L.A., most beer fans would turn to either El Segundo Brewing or Beachwood Brewing.
Well a new collaboration makes the choice even quicker. Eyes to the Sky IPA hopped with Strata, Simcoe, and Columbus, is now available at Beachwood locations.
I have never in all my years of beer and beer writing seen a beer with a descriptor such as Wonderbread but it tracks for the new IPA from El Segundo Brewing, We the People aka Spirit of ’76, which, to be fair also says you will get notes of Orange Creamsicle, Citrus, Pineapple and Peach.
