Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
This year for Lagerville, Figueroa Mountain traveled a bit of distance to Atascadero and Wild Fields to grab one collaborative partner and then a much bigger distance to Japan to get West Coast Brewing for a Matcha Rice lager.
It pours yellow with a tinge of green (unless that was me reading into it). There is an orange aroma coming off this at first and then in the first sip, the matcha tea comes through the citrus. This is very light and I am getting a bit of tea bitterness at the end.
Figueroa Mountain is Lagerville’ing again in April. As has been in the past, it is an impressive assemblage of breweries. It is certainly worth the trip up the lower Central Coast to get your taste buds lager’d.
I will be at a different festival on April 15th but if you are looking for a lager that day, there will be a lot on offer just north of us, so read on.
“Over 40 craft breweries will be pouring some of the best Lagers in the Country. Lagerville will take place at Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. in Buellton.
Guests will get to sample throughout the day and talk to the brewers that make these approachable Lagers. Your ticket includes a souvenir glass, and sampling from any of the breweries on site.
VIP Tickets are $65 and include an hour early entry. This is a limited ticket and will sellout soon! There will be special VIP beers poured that won’t be available during the General Admission Session.
General Admission tickets are $55 and include entry at 12 p.m.
Tickets at the door will be $65 for General Admission and there will not be VIP tickets available on the day of the event.”
If you are the type that needs to see the brewery line-up before a festival, well maybe this will have you driving to Buellton in July…
…that is a darn good representation of the major California brewing communities (plus a couple overseas entrants) and it’s lager to boot. Check out the tickets HERE.
As Fallon and Timberlake would say, Heading on down to LagerVille….
I have previously posted about this festival and now a collaborative beer is added to the goodies!
Nearby Enegren Brewing has taken their Germanic touch to Figueroa Mountain for a new lager that will show up on 5 19.
If you are nearing lupulin overdose, hold on. There is a festival coming in May that can help.
Figueroa Mountain will be hosting their 1st Lagerville event at their Buellton based brewery on May 19th. L.A. locals like Eagle Rock, Enegren and King Harbor will be in attendance along with TAPS, Chapman Crafted , Brewery Rex and other known names.
A portion of the receipts will benefit the Los Padres Forest Watch, a charity that FigMtn has been working with for years.
