Sean Suggests for September 2013

header_beer_shopping_list

For September, the theme (in addition to light-medium-dark) is that all three beers were found on the Let’s Pour website.  So you can order them up and get a box delivered to your door! All of the descriptions below come from the Let’s Pour site.

~LIGHT

Harpoon  / UFO Raspberry Hefeweizen 4.8% ABV

“Natural raspberry flavors are added to their UFO Hefeweizen to create this beer. Consistent with the Hefeweizen style, this beer is unfiltered and cloudy with a solid foamy head.”

~MEDIUM

Sixpoint Brewery  / Sweet Action 5.2% ABV

“The silky viscosity that gives Cream Ales their name is whispered rather than shouted here, retaining the crispness and zesty finish of a Pale and the light, peppery sweetness of a Witbier.”

~DARK

Yards Brewing Co.  / Thomas Jefferson’s Tavern Ale 8.0% ABV

“a big, strappin’ Golden Ale based closely on the recipe used by America’s first prominent homebrewer – Thomas Jefferson. The President’s recipe featured ingredients like wheat, honey, and rye from his own farm at Monticello and Yards has vowed to faithfully recreate this ale with as little variation as possible.”

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.

Here at BSP headquarters, we are working on these posts for September as we transition from summer to fall. And thanks to Charissa Santos, I will be rolling out some new logos for my recurring posts. Like the one above. If you like the look of it, check out her site HERE. She does branding, print and web design and she is easy to work with and she really made me take a hard look at where I am going and what my design does to help me get there.
