I have been hankering for big IPA’s and Ogopogo Brewing has a new one, O Elbereth, a Triple Dry Hopped West Coast Double IPA with Mosaic Cryo and Columbus Cryo that lands at 8.5% . It was brewed with help from Ventura’s Bright Spark Brewing.
I like a small beer festival. I feel like I can actually taste the full rainbow if there is a tight mix of breweries. And Ogopogo Brewing is using their 6th anniversary to throw a little shindig in San Gabriel.
I am especially interested in Craft Coast and Burgeon and what they may be tapping.
Ogopogo Brewing has enlisted Arrow Lodge Brewing on a Nectaron hop pilsner project under the name of Italian Water Management. I had to ponder that name a bit, but I do like it. Just enough off kilter.
Ogopogo Brewing is going to the marker, the upcoming Haven City Market with a second location in the food hall.
Ogopogo Brewing has a new Pastry Stout coming from the blackberry bramble with a bit of menace and a 8.5% ABV, Beelzebub. If you are a fence sitter when it comes to this style, like me, this might be a good one to check out and see where you are now.
Usually for a collaboration, one brewery takes the lead with the label design and canning. But sometimes, two beers come out of a collaboration.
Smog City and Ogopogo got together and now there are two IPAs out for craft beer fans to try…
Not a caption contest, per se, but what excites you most about seeing this photo from Ogopogo Brewing’s social media?
Here is your answer…
“Getting our 5th Anniversary Barrel Aged Stout transferred so we can start bottling. 14.5% aged 30 months in Blantons Barrels. We will be releasing these at our Anniversary Party on October 21st.”
It is Ales for ALS season and you should be seeing the charity driven beers on shelves and taps by now and if you are in Los Angeles, there is a local option to try from Ogopogo Brewing…
Ogopogo Brewing and Common Space Brewery are on the line with a hazy pale ale.
Time to talk about it….
Pours a hazy lemonade color. Initial aroma is pineapple but more pineapple smoothie than the sharp fruit. The initial taste is a very creamy tropical fruit. This is another super pillowy version of hazy. The end note is orange juice. Really nice example of how a lower ABV pale can have lovely and complex flavors.
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.
