Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Earlier this month, I made the drive to Fillmore, CA and the Sow A Heart Regenerative Farm to help harvest hops. Cascade hops to be precise and it was great fun to not only feel the cones in your hand fresh off the bine but to see harvesting done pretty much by hand because even the one machine used was nothing compared to the big growers of the NW.
More will be revealed in the September Beer Paper issue coming out soon but until then a few photos to whet the appetite…
Sage Brew in Echo Park is giving their bar space a refresh, it is now…
Yes, it is only February, but pretty much every month is a lager month in Los Angeles. And Sage Brews has a Thomas Guide looking new lager out…
…not a fan. But maybe if I had a chocolate stout like this….
…I would enjoy it more. Sage has a few L.A. locations so check them out for this beer as well as others of their canned offerings
Hard to believe it was only 2017 when Sage Plant Based Bistro expanded into brewing. Picking up a lot of “firsts” in the process . Echo Park’s first brewery. Women owned and brewed. Using local, organic ingredients including hops from their own farm.
Here is the brewery description of their 5 year anniversary beer, “we teamed up with our favorite partners Sow-A-Heart farm to make a saison loaded with fresh persimmons aged with Oak. With a caramel nose this beer is sweet and slightly tart from the persimmons with an oaky finish.”
