Los Angeles Ale Works has one last can release for 2021. And, yes, I am posting about it in 2022.
“In the Fronds (Tropical IPA, 7.5%) has all the hazy, juicy, characteristics you love – mango bubblegum, papaya, Sauvignon Blanc grapes, a hint of citrus – without the haze.”
Let’s jaunt back to Hawthorne, CA to get a scaredy cat…
That is the face of a cat bored of holiday shopping. So it is good tidings to have a Hoppy Holiday Ale from Los Angeles Ale Works.
Coffee has been making the rounds again in various beer styles and Los Angeles Ale Works is adding it to a Kolsch, with their new Bengal Brew…
This will be a test of balance, interested to see how it turns out.
I have mentioned that L.A. Ale Works has a second location coming and though that space at Ivy Station in Culver City is not open, yet. There is a beer, and a juicy IPA at that, that might just be the house beer. Meet Me At Ivy Station.
Wanna ride a bike but you want to avoid California drivers? AND you want to be charitable?
Los Angeles Ale Works has teamed with Tour de Pier and now we get a late summer blonde ale. You can ride on a stationary bike. (certainly safer for me). Or buy the beer to help raise funds to find success against cancer.
Last week, Los Angeles Ale Works released two pale ales with artwork by Brady Smith.
Here are the beer details straight from the brewery:
Cannonball Kid (Juicy Pale Ale 6.0%) features El Dorado and Cascade hops. Resinous notes of grapefruit and mango gummy bears.
Pugapalooza (Pale Ale 6.0%) sports Sabro, Sultana, and El Dorado hops to lead you down the road to tropical notes of guava and passionfruit.
I don’t know if it is the lack of snow but there are not too many Christmas beers coming from SoCal. Los Angeles Ale Works is changing that with a double holiday release with one hoppy and one Belgian. Available at their Hawthorne brewery to-go.
Craft beer and collaborating go hand in hand. And across the street from each other, Los Angeles Ale Works and Common Space Brewing each have a beer made with friends out now.
So honey, citrus and spice….
And / Or ice cream…
Christmas shopping was going to be difficult this year but Los Angeles Ale Works has solved the problem for you. Personalized cans of beer! Way better than an annual Christmas card. Buy a case and pass out holiday spirit this year.
Let’s take a drive down Sunset Boulevard with a quick review of the collaboration beer from Los Angeles Ale Works and beer shoppe extraordinaire, Sunset Beer Co.
This West Coast IPA pours a vibrant orange color. There is an orange peel and pine aroma that leads to a juicy hit of tangerine for me. That is followed by a weird malty meets metal taste that is out of step with the early flavor of citrus. At the tail end is a bundle of bitterness that takes the flavors in another direction again.
