Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
You can’t tell it is Christmas in Los Angeles by the weather (too hot) or by stores (too early) but you can tell when Arts District Brewing hosts their annual Schwarz-Mas.
They gather a bunch of local breweries for a just the right size festival for Schwarzbier and other dark lager variants. It is a great day out and you can Christmas shop after (or before).
I have to hand it to Arts District Brewing for having the temerity to hold beer competitions for styles that just are not on tap at most breweries. And they are back at it again with the 2023 Schwarz-mas.
On December 10th they will put on their annual Dark Lager celebration.
Here is the info: “We’ve gathered a ton of our favorite breweries and each will submit a craft Schwarzbier. We have an amazing panel of judges come through and we crown the best one. The best part is, YOU can come and try them all and vote for your favorite. Schwarzbier tends to be malty with chocolate and coffee notes, it averages around 5% ABV —so you can try a few! We’re so excited for all the amazing breweries joining us, and more to be announced soon. May the Schwarziest win!”
