The Beer Chicks save Christmas

Count me as a big fan of the Beer Chicks and now with the holiday’s fast approaching they have multiple ways to help out the holiday craft beer shopper.

1 – “By popular demand and for a limited time (and a limited price), you can now buy a private 2 hour customized Beer Tasting for up to 8 people with one of The Beer Chicks as your guide! Its the ultimate foodie gift experience.”

2 – “Already bought your pain in the a, hard to shop for brother all the gift cards you could find at Costco? Well, now you can stop worrying and click right here for our new online gift certificates for the 8th Street Bottle Shop. You can buy them online to print out or email immediately, or request that we send out a pretty and enveloped copy to your very lucky so and so.”

Or you can just get your special beer someone this…..

Another Beer Store!

Not until spring of 2011 but still. This is great news. LA DOES have a craft beer thirst. All of these new ventures prove it. And as a bonus the Sunset is fairly close to me!

I have done wine tastings at the CoWineCo and they are well presented and with whimsy. They really do wine well there. It is the type of place that I have taken my parents, my younger sister-in-law and people inbetween. So I am optimistic that this place will have some of that same spirit with a beer spin.

Here are some of the particulars…“Sunset Beer Co. is a partnership between Jennifer and John of CoWineCo and Jenna and Drew VonAh. The concept will be quite familiar to you – a retail shop with a tasting area. But the retail shop will be twice the size of CoWineCo featuring many hundreds of bottles of beer from around the globe (all properly chilled of course), and the tasting area will have taps instead of rows of wine glasses (but for you grape-centric die-hards, yes there will be wine available as well).”

Beer America.TV

I am not a big fan of the term Vlog (video blog) but there are some great beer sites that are exposing people to new beers and beer information. One that I just found (shame on me for not finding it sooner) is BeerAmerica.TV. They taste beer and give their reactions and reviews. They also talk about beer issues and give out beer tips on temperature. When you have ten minutes of free time check them out at http://beeramerica.tv/
