It has been a bit since I have mentioned Firestone Walker and Buellton but a new beer is coming out that changes that trend and it is a unique one, Saffron Saison a wild saison ale with (take a guees) saffron, sweet orange peel and Indian coriander. It is a Batch No 1 release.
Beachwood Brewing released a pair of IPAs this month that you should look for on shelves….
First released was Pizza Corgi, “A double dry-hopped West Coast IPA packed with enough dankness to make and hop-head drool featuring Nectaron Cryo, Nelson Sauvin, and Nectaron hops.”
Second was Animatronic Friends, “This modern West Coast IPA boasts a futuristic blend of innovative hops and electric aromas.” With Mosaic, Ekuanot Cryo, Columbus, Centennial, HBC-586 hops.
Stone Brewing recently dropped a new pilsner.
It is a flag type of can for sure. Wonder if this one will take off sales wise.
Replicant in Pasadena has a big ol’ IPA ready for you and it promises to be blissful.
Another IPA collaboration to highlight today as Creature Comforts and Everywhere Beer have put together a Georgia-LA-Anaheim IPA.
Creature Comforts has been up and going for a bit in south DTLA and last year packaged an L.A. barrel-aged beer, but now the first brewed in L.A. beer is here…..
If you haven’t visited the brewery, this new beer might be the excuse you need.
I bet feathers weren’t flying but obvious hops were when Ambitious Ales met up with ISM Brewing.
Inside the colorful cans is a “West Coast IPA with El Dorado Incognito, HBC 586, Simcoe, Nectaron and Terpenes.”
January and February are now core beer news months and Smog City has a new all year beer, Citrus Blonde. Described by the brewery as, “soft and easy-drinking, Balancing a medley of sweet citrus fruit character and a delicate honey malt backbone, rolls out an irresistible beer sipping experience.”
With all the economic distraction around the craft beer niche, it is good to see milestones reached, such as Offshoot Beer Co. attaining the seven year mark!
Here is to another year of beers from The Bruery’s younger sibling.
LA County and Orange County team up on a hoppy pilsner. Broken Algorithm is the combo of Chapman Crafted and Smog City Brewing
It will arrive in February, and features a “blend of Citra, Motueka, and Nectaron hops, with a twist of Muscat grape must for a dry, refreshing finish.”
