There is another entrant in the Cold IPA shelf, this time from noted hoppy beer maker, Drakes in the Bay Area.
Just look for the pink can with the Eugene O’Neill tinted name,
Cold Drake
RTD Day – In the Garden
Still not understanding the hatred of vowels in business and brand names but setting that aside, Three Weavers is launching an RTD line-up called GRDN PRTY. These are cocktail-inspired flavored malt beverages. No spirits here. The cans started into distribution on July 17 but you can head to their taproom in Inglewood to get any or all the three flavors, which are: Pineapple Sage, Lemonade, Grapefruit Guava Rosemary and Juniper Lemon Cucumber.
Peer on the Pier
Usually when I post anything regarding Pizza Port, it revolves around the IPA or the pizza. But they can and do other styles such as the Czech-Style pils going by the rhyming name of Pier Beer.
Essential
Two Belgian brewing pals have come together for a new collaboration. Ommegang and New Belgium present Belgian Essence, a “Belgian-style Tripel Ale” which “is a blend of old-world tradition with a new-world twist! It’s bright, citrusy, effervescent, and incredibly drinkable.”
Zumo
Russian River Brewing got their hoppy hands on a new hop from Segal Ranch in Washington State and punned it into Zumo Wrestling Pale Ale. Maybe some stray cans will get to Los Angeles or you can order online.
Eyes Up
If you want a West Coast IPA, brewed right here in L.A., most beer fans would turn to either El Segundo Brewing or Beachwood Brewing.
Well a new collaboration makes the choice even quicker. Eyes to the Sky IPA hopped with Strata, Simcoe, and Columbus, is now available at Beachwood locations.
Together Good
Allagash Brewing has a new bourbon barrel-aged beer coming and by the name of it, it sounds like beer fans should meet-up to enjoy it.
Gatherwell is an 11% imperial stout. That’s it. No special ingredients added.
Aussie for Hops
You may know of Vic Secret hops but what about Kohia Nelson? Both are Australian varietals and both are in the new triple IPA, Laughing Kookaburra from AleSmith in San Diego (which is not Australia).
Kolsch Can
Enegren Brewing up in Moorpark has a new old release as they bring their Kolsch into 16 ounce cans. As Los Angeles transitions to early summer, this will be a good sunny day beer.
Feather Bridge
Feathered Serpent Brewing has moved locations out East of LA and another new item is that they have a new blonde ale coming out in packaging, named Bridgetown, hopefully will get some distribution into my area of the large County of Los Angeles.
