Highland Park Brewery doesn’t do just one anniversary beer, they do multiple. For 2025, they have three High Elevens. One hazy, one west coast and one pils.
Knowing how well HPB hops a pilsner, I would start there.
Eleven High
Timbo Week
Thanks in no small part to Highland Park Brewery, Los Angeles has a thriving hoppy pilsner reputation. And it comes down to the creation of Timbo Pils and its many and varied variants.
HPB is celebrating their pils with a week of Timbo. Follow their social feeds to see what the specific plans are but might I recommend the guest Timbo night on Friday.
BurgerTime
We all now, at least here in L.A. that Highland Park Brewery is the place for a world class pilsner but in May they are bringing in the burger kings to pair with their award winning beer.
You might scoff but Goldburger, Bub & Grandma and Yellow Paper say No.
Follow the social to see what creations arise.
High 10
It is high time that Los Angeles craft beer fans get a 10 year brewery! And that brewery is Highland Park. The bifurcated Highland Park / Chinatown brewery will have “special High 10 releases” between March 25th – March 31st.
What is so special, you ask? Well they will “be re-releasing past High anniversary beers each week.” Leading up to High 10.
T23
Timbo Week returns at Highland Park Brewery starting on August 4th.
And here is what the brewery has in store for Pils fans…
“Of course we’ll have fresh Timbo to kick the week off but we’ll also have some other Timbo favorites including a couple draft only variations.
We’re planning on going big this year with Timbo Service, a timbo corner, golden ticket, & even a Tim appreciation day for all the Timbo fans named Tim!”
The festivities run through August 11th.
Robo
Bob Kunz and the team at Highland Park Brewery can IPA with the best but you should seek out their pilsners. The latest in cans is RoboPils which the brewery describes as a “5.8% ABV very hoppy Pilsner hopped with a huge amount of Strata & Citra hops. The combo of those hops will give off big aromas & flavors of grapefruit, passionfruit, & lots of floral notes.” You can get cans for $17 per four pack.
Coming this year…
There are some new breweries coming to the L.A. area in 2018 headlined (IMHO) by the Chinatown brewery / taproom of Highland Park Brewery.
But there are more in the pipeline that I will be visiting and reviewing, such as….
…and these are just a sample. There might be more in places as far flung as Pasadena, two new ones in Monrovia, literally right next to each other. One in Burbank, at least one in Long Beach.
