…at Four Points – The Beer Hotel they re-open the pool bar as a rite of summer.  And this year they did so with help from Sierra Nevada and some rare beers.  Rich Rosen took photos and partook of the beers and filed this report

It is official. The pool at this hotel is now open! Every year close to Memorial Day weekend; a craft beer event kicks off the re-opening of the swimming pool at Four Points By Sheraton – LAX. The brewery that was present was Sierra Nevada. Steve Grossman was the main speaker, who talked of the brews as well as it’s charitable work.

Brewsters is the bar/restaurant within the hotel. It rotates the beers on tap. Local craft beer can be found there, both on tap and in bottles. The food menu is diverse and well prepared. Many big flat screen televisions are found throughout the hotel. You can watch a plethora of sporting events while enjoying some brews.

The brewery that was present was Sierra Nevada. Steve Grossman was the main speaker, who talked of the brews as well as it’s charitable work. Mr. Grossman mentioned that every country now has a craft beer movement. He is quiet the philanthropic person. Works closely with re-establishing a monastery near the brewery. It should be finished by the end of 2013. Part of the proceeds obtained by selling Ovila goes to this endeavor.

The hotel will be holding a craft been event the second friday of the month. Stop by and enjoy the pool area. Once that slows down or closes, move on into Brewsters. Enjoy the ambience of this establishment.

Some beers that were enjoyed here are as follows:
Pale Ale – the flagship of the Sierra Nevada line. Light and crisp in flavor.
Bigfoot – the robust barleywine. Strong, nice flavor.
Ovila– this is a Belgian style ale. Made in collaboration with Monks.
