May 12th is when you can have the luck of the stars with the new Beachwood beer release, Cosmic Lottery, with a hop blend of Strata, Mosaic, Citra, & Pahto. Plus that label is a colorful delight.
The Universe
The End
Now I am not a huge fan of the multi-colors on this label but for a barrel-aged beer the name is just about perfect….
Sante Adairus has found a great saying to accompany their 2 year old beer with Wondrous Brewing which proves that you can still find a great beer name.
Bridging
Angel City honors the past occupants of their brewery with Bridge Builder Hazy IPA.
Their DTLA Public House “was once formerly the John A. Roebling & Sons west coast warehouse, where they would manufacture steel cables to build some of the most iconic bridges across the country.”
Here are details on the beer, it “has an almost vanilla-like sweetness upfront, followed by pineapple, nectarines, fruit punch and strawberries with a full mouthfeel and a finishing tropical sweetness. Brewed in the very same warehouse that used to build bridges, it’s safe to say this brew really “bridges” the gap between our building’s past & present.”
Peeky
If given the choice, I would pick a Triple Hazy IPA over a hazy, so I am glad to see this cuddly hop monster from Common Space Brewery.
Yes, it is quite the colorful label and monster back story as well.
LFG
Put another Pink Boots beer on your radar, Pizza Port has….
That’s right, Let’s Go and get a 4-pack of pale ale.
Stronger and Together
Project Barley in Lomita has a dynamic duo of new beers that celebrate women in the brewing industry, Stronger Hazy IPA & Together Clear IPA. Both are amazing and super yummy!!
Portion of the proceeds goes back to the Pink Boots Society. So get a 4-pack of both.
Bootsy
Eagle Rock Brewery has unveiled their 2022 Pink Boots collaboration. Here is the beers mission statement, “We love collaborating with the ladies of Pink Boots and fiercely support their desire to assist, inspire, and educate women in the fermented/alcoholic beverage industry.”
And here is the beer description, “Bootsy is a West Coast IPA that is bright and clean, with crispy tropical notes. Coming in at 6.3% ABV, this is the perfect beer to ring in the warmer weather!”
Gold and Vanilla
Frogtown Brewery has some new releases to put on your radar. They have been leaning into Tiki themed beers and have a Beachcomber Golden Ale, or if you are looking for a different spin on the classic cream ale, you can pick up their vanilla-fied cream ale.
The Green Fairy
Firestone Walker has just upped their barrel aging game by not only finding absinthe barrels but then creating a beer that those barrels could affect in a new and interesting way. Plus cognac, rye whiskey and bitters barrels as well.
Barley + Coffee, No Wine
Arrow Lodge comes at the barleywine style with a caffeine twist with their new Arrow Pressed “smooth sipper” with beans from Valiant Coffee Roasters. Might be time to see how they spin the barleywine style.
