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.”
When a brewery closes, the beers and recipes can sometimes just fade away. Maybe to be done in new forms as brewers take their talents to other breweries.
Replicant Shell the now very well known bottle shop / foreign snacks / gas station in Pasadena is doing their part in bringing back some lost beers with their new Resurgence Series that starts with….
I think it is a great idea and I hope it is a lengthy series and I hope that we will be able to find out the mystery beers behind the resurgence as well.
Angel City, inspired by Champurrado are releasing a namesake Champurrado Ale.
Here is the brewery description: “Inspired by the chocolatey Mexican Atole, this creamy ale is made with all the champurrado fixings you can find from your local street cart: corn masa, cocoa powder, panela sugar, lactose, cinnamon, and vanilla all come together to give you a smooth, sweet ale that will warm you up with every sip.”
I call this a good use of the pastry stout category.
Portland not only has the Trailblazers, we now have a G-League affiliate, the Rip City Remix and they have their PDX debut tonight!
And they have an eponymous beer as well. Rip City Remix IPA brewed by Backwoods Brewing. “a straightforward IPA that is brewed with experimental hops that creates a 3 pointer of flavors, including cherry, melon and citrus!”
Gonna have to find a way to get a 4-pack down here to Glendale.
SoCal gets a nice amount of Fremont Brewing beers and they are collaborating again with a local brewer, this time Beachwood Brewing. The resulting beer is Tidal Track IPA. Look for “aromas and packed hop flavors from Mosaic, Citra, Centennial Cryo, and Chinook hops.”
Athletic Brewing gets a lot of business press for their rise into N/A stardom but they should also get some kudos for their increasingly clever and exotic flavors like their new Citrus Cacao Hazy IPA.
“This brew beautifully blends tart citrus flavor with a mellow sweetness of cacao fruit juice. This isn’t the dark chocolate brew you might be expecting – cacao juice is derived from the sticky pulp surrounding the cacao seeds of the plant that provides a subtle sweetness similar to coconut water, but more tropical. Aromas of grapefruit and lemon make an appearance, adding a sunkissed vibe.”
I suggest checking their beer selection at regular intervals.
Got a Cold IPA collaboration out there for you to find, Pizza Port and Topa Topa have created EnSea.
