Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Other than one cool summer school week, the thought of going to summer camp for anything would normally be a pass but tomorrow in Long Beach could be the exception with…. Camp Trademark (aka 3rd anniversary) on July 16th.
Food from: Flacos Tacos, AGL’s Craft Meats, Vegan Hooligans and Colossus Bread.
Presale RSVP + Merch HERE.
Italian Pilsners are hanging in there as a sub-style which is good news to me, since I like any and all form of pilsner as an IPA antidote. Trademark Brewing has their version, names Talking Hands. Described by the brewery as “Light, bright and crisp, and dry hopped with Tettnang and Saphir hops for a delightful bouquet of floral citrus and spice.”
Love those hops from New Zealand? Well you can stay in LA and taste them in….
…or…
So fly away or get the legs moving to Trademark Brewing in Long Beach or Highland Park Brewery in Chinatown or your favorite bottle shoppe.
Be careful not to open after you turn this can upside to get the full effect of the label.
Trademark Brewing had visitors from just down the road at Beachwood for this new IPA.
You can’t really see the stars here in L.A.. You have to drive out to a Dark Sky community for that. But if you have the new DIPA from Trademark Brewing, you can be guided even through the haze in the pint glass…
Star Guide has your Idaho Gem, your Strata, and of course, Galaxy hops.
If there was enough content, this blog could be devoted to the Red IPA, one of my favorite styles, and in time for scary season, Trademark Brewing has one for us.
I like the touch of having a cat on the label for a beer that has curiosity in the name. Head down to Long Beach or wherever you buy Trademark beers for this Halloween treat.
Long Beach’s Trademark Brewing has a new Hazy Double IPA on its mind.
Brain Flowers is a “Dangerously smooth/easy drinking with a round, pillow-like mouthfeel plus slightly sweet & fruity flavors.”
Wanna know about the Hops used?
Styrian Dragon: Slovenian, known for its juicy tropical and berry aromas
Southern Passion & African Queen: South African, known for intense tropical and melon flavors/aromas
I have seen an uptick in citrus wits in the past couple months but Trademark Brewing has zested up a lager for Angelenos which should be perfect as we exit June gloom for months of summer sun.
L.A. breweries like to collab with ice cream. I put that down to the Beer Float competitions that Food GPS would do back in the day.
Now Trademark Brewing has teamed with another Long Beach business, Scoopie’s Ice Cream on a Burnt Caramel beer, Pint Party. Have a pint of both, I say.
The alcohol and coffee worlds are forever mixing. As I am typing this, I am drinking wine barrel-aged coffee. Modern Times has a whole product line. Now Trademark Brewing in Long Beach has beans. Four roasts are currently on offer.
10 HOUR – “Inspired by the beans in our gloriously-decadent 10 Hour Coffee-Chocolate Stout, this signature blend features notes of dark chocolate, cashew and blackberry.”
ETHIOPIA MARU – “Single Origin featuring blueberry, grape and jasmine notes.”
COLOMBIA TIMANÁ – “Single Origin with suggestions of honey, almond and grapefruit.”
GUATEMALA CUBULCO – “Single Origin with flavors of milk chocolate, hazelnut and mandarin.”
