August was a busy beer month.  But September is electric.  It is the silly season where you see brewers and beer fans 3 or 4 times a week and it finishes with LA Beer Week!

~ e-visits to three breweries from Livermore, California such as Working Man Brewing, Brotherhood Brewing, Eight Bridges Brewing
~ video reviews samples two new beers from Raven in Baltimore, Maryland plus more beer reviews minus the videos
~ Heads-Up on Los Angeles Beer Events (including coverage of L.A. Beer Week events)
~ Three suggested beers to buy this month
~ I will tap the Firkin and give my no holds barred opinion on the craft beer world
~ … and Session # 79 will converge bloggers onto a single topic, this month “What the Hell has America done to Beer?”
~ plus many more posts about new beers, beer products and breweries

Here are two events to get your August started in the Los Angeles craft beer world:
1) September 3rd-8th – Sourfest at Beachwood BBQ (both locations!)
2) September 15th – Rock and Brews Local Beer Fest.
