Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
I don’t know if cast members of Saturday Night Live will make an appearance at Lazer Cat but when Ryan Sweeney opens a new bar for the Goat Group, you can bet there will be good beer.
This Sunset Strip bar has everything, a light-up LED dance floor, neon, cocktails, 80’s vibe and pizza by the slice. Sorry channeled an un-funny Stephon there. But the above is true. A new kind of beer place for L.A. for sure.
The latest Golden Road beer to make it to the cans is Get Up Offa That Brown. They come in the the new-ish four packs with a window to see the really cool Sunset Strip can design.
The crew at Golden Road describe it as a “…traditional English-style Brown, complete with chocolate-y malt notes and a smoky-sweet aroma has been a draft-only favorite since its introduction in early 2012.”
It does indeed pour a cola brown with a bit of a fizzy stream of bubbles. Right out of the ‘fridge the taste is muted but once it gets to room temperature the malt notes start adding up giving you a flavor profile that leans towards toast but touches on a sweetness and a skosh of chocolate before the carbonation takes it away so that you can enjoy the next sip. Like it Hefeweizen and Point the Way counterparts this is very light and quite sessionable.
Maybe next, Golden Road will release a variety pack with one of each of their canned creations.
