Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Two words, not one for Pizza Port’s newest release, “Sun Sets is a Pilsner hopped with New Zealand hop varietals of Motueka and Nelson. This NZ-style Pilsner is also brewed with Phantasm, a grape musk from New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc grapes.”
Looking like a hoppy pilsner summer on the way.
No signs of craft collaborations quiet quitting anytime soon and here is another one to look for, that I particularly like the label for because it combines both breweries trademark look….
As for the beer itself, Riip’d Into Existence has your Mosaic T90 and Cryo, Strata CGX, Columbus Cryo, and El Dorado so should be just a touch hoppy.
Climate change has weirded out the weather here in Los Angeles and in many other spots on the globe but this month is the time for lighter beers as we get higher temperatures. Plus the other fun stuff below….

If you are a fan of Ogopogo Brewing and you really like Citra, Azacca, Amarillo and Chinook hops but you also like coconut and pineapple then the new Yacumama Hazy IIIPA coming in at 10.5% should be right up your mythical creature alley.
June is a special month on the calendar. You have the Firestone Walker Invitational, you have L.A. Beer Week and the weather ain’t like a pizza oven yet here in Los Angeles. This month plenty of posts about the festivals and less about the weather.

Anytime a new beer comes out in bottles, my eyes perk up and in this case, they perked up extra to see that this new fruity IPA is from North Coast Brewery ….
Surprisingly Angel City Brewery is the first to name their Mexican lager after one of the most famous and historical spots in Los Angeles, Olvera Street.
The really evocative art is by Elisa Torres Art as curated by ArtShare LA.
Look like one of the first orders of business for the Drakes / Bear Republic team was an addition to the Racer series.
The Three Weavers group has a new but different collaboration out with Tarantula Hill Brewing under the name: Code Name. The Inglewood version is Juicy Drips. Word to come on what Tarantula Hill will call theirs.
Each juicy pale ale “was made with the same hop combo, Galaxy, Mosaic and Cryo Pop.” Will we be able to tell the difference?
There are certain styles that I am glad to see come back around. Belgian Table beer is one of them and Offshoot Beer Co. has one coming out that you can’t miss on the shelf…
…though I would like to get a non prickly pear / hibiscus version.
