Add in my favorite hop Strata along with one yet unnamed hops HBC586 in both standard and cryo formats and you get…
…the scary bloody mouthed Cactus Car from Ogopogo Brewing.

Straw-barb Pastry
I think I have reached my upper limit of beers with “friends” in the name but I do want to see more of the strawberry-rhubarb combo. You win some and you lose some.
Ogopogo Brewing has San Gabriel Valley’d with Hop Secret Brewing for this new pastry sour.
Actually
Fresh off of a collaboration with El Segundo where they brewed up trouble, Ogopogo Brewing is at it again with this time with BareBottle ‘Actual Friends’
This effort is “a DDH Hazy IIPA 8.5% with Nelson, Citra, Incognito Citra, and Nelson CGX.”
Strategery
I post a lot of collaboration beers but this new one spearheaded by Ogopogo Brewing has a long laundry list of co-conspirators….
…and it is not a hazy! It is an Imperial. Damn interesting line-up from multiple states.
Ogopogo Style
Wanna look stylin’ on your next Zoom? Ogopogo Brewing has a wit-ty shirt for you…
They have taken the label design and moved it onto a shirt for you.
Strata Webs
California doesn’t see the fresh hop bounty that Oregon and Washington does but the occasional glimmer appears. Just look for the spiderweb to get a Strata Fresh Hop Arachne from Ogopogo Brewing and Three Weavers.
Mimosa
Move over hard seltzer, maybe the next RTD craze will be that brunch staple, Mimosa. And you can get a local Los Angeles version canned and ready from Hartlam Winery which is a sibling brand to Ogopogo Brewing.
An IIPA Beastie
A big beer is coming our way soon from Ogopogo Brewing, “A little late for the season, but we decided to make a Triple IPA. Prolly around April 14th we will be releasing ‘Yacumama’ Hazy IIIPA 10.5% with Citra, Azacca, Amarillo, Chinook, Pineapple, and Coconut.”
In Reverse
Appropriate in a month featuring nitro famous breweries to highlight a nitro beer release. This time a golden coffee milk stout from the brewers/cider makers and vintners at Ogopogo Brewing. Remember to pour hard.
Review – Ogopogo Bourbon Barrel-Aged Cider
I am a side cider connoisseur and when I saw Ogopogo was launching a line, I knew I would be trying them. And I decided to start with this highest price entry in their range. Heaven Hill Bourbon Barrel aged. And though, I generally prefer “clean”, plain cider. This is a really well balanced drink. It is more barrel than bourbon to me, the cider shines through and it still has enough bubbles in it to make it a bit crisp as well.
