Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Another L.A. Beer Week comes to a close with a nod to our role in the mythmaking of the movies and TV.
Channel your inner White Walker and sample the 2nd offering in the Ommegang / Game of Thrones series, and Take the Black under the stars in Hollywood. A ticket is required if not already sold out.
Each morning throught L.A. Beer Week, I will give you my Pick of the Night. The ONE event I think rises to the top of the list. Some days that choice will be harder and there might be 1A and 1B’s (if I get wishy-washy). I will endeavor to pick events you can just head out to. But if tickets are required, I will mention it. But expect crowds. Craft beer and craft beer in L.A. is popular.

Belgian Take Over w/Monkish & New Belgium at Village Tavern
Thursday September 26th 2013 7:00 pm-10:00 pm
Thursday Sept 26th New Belgium & Monkish Brewery Tap take over and Pint Night give away. Rare and Selective beers from both breweries on tap.
I have yet to visit the Village even though it is in nearby Atwater so this is a perfect excuse to see the decor and ambience. And the beer too. Those are two strong breweries paired together.
OK, this is a ticketed event and it will be a bit on the spendy side. But just like no L.A. Beer Week is complete without Eagle Rock, it is really not complete without Craftsman. The original trailblazer of the scene before there was a scene. And Maximiliano is THE place to get their beer. Plus the food is awesome.
And as a bonus you can check out The Hermosillo and see where a future L.A. brewery will be.
