Return Visit – Mt. Lowe Brewing

Ever since I read the distress post from Mt. Lowe Brewing in Arcadia, I wanted to go back and re-visit.  On a recent gray, rain threatening Saturday, I braved the always sluggish 210 Freeway to have a few beers to see what was up.

And I saw pitcher after pitcher going to the Pasadena Rugby Club who apparently are cool with no aroma, flat beer which hopefully helps this at risk brewery out.  I tried out a coffee version of their Hills Are Alive IPA which I quite liked.  A nice balance of coffee notes to hops with neither getting the upper hand.  The two following tasters were less successful and I think I may have gotten the same beer twice and not two different tasters.  Though they were filled right up to the brim.

The beertenders were working hard and there was a steady line to order so maybe folks are in supportive help mode which is good to see.

Scholars

I fondly remember the Scholastic Book Fairs during grade school and now there is a second Adult Book Fair this time at Mount Lowe Brewing in Arcadia featuring Octavia’s Bookshelf and Underdog Book Store.

There will be “book readings, “drunk” Q&A with the authors, an art show and auction, a book swap and beer and book pairing and so much more.”  

You just might end up with both a 4-pack of beer and books.

Mt. Lowe


Before 2016 is finalized in the books, we need to talk about another new brewery that opened up in December over in Arcadia.  Mt. Lowe Brewing Company started welcoming visitors to their tap room.

Their website lists six beers currently.  Blonde, Hef, “ale” IPA, red and porter.

The incline railroad and old-timey touched up photos lend a nice community feel and I hope to ride the Gold Line out to their spot in 2017.
