Cool Beer Names – Cool Labels for May 2021
You can say the name of this Hefeweizen from Burbank’s Trustworthy Brewing in a flat map app voice or remember back to the days of paper Thomas Guides. Either way, for our freeway pocked landscape, that is a great name.
Speaking of iconic Los Angeles, you don’t rank very many people higher than Vin Scully, and I don’t even like baseball. But this Topa Topa and Tarantula Hill Hazy DIPA has a fantastic name…
Added Value
Trustworthy Brewing in Burbank has a 4th anniversary surprise for beer fans, Value of Time BBA Imperial Stout with Coconut. It is a big 12.6% ABV and according to the brewery “is our biggest barrel-aged stout yet. Aged for 12 months in Buffalo Trace barrels and blended with heaps of coconut. Smooth oak smokiness accompanied with caramel and coconut warmth go well with any evening plans.”
Mountain Towers
The mountains surrounding LA are a bit cluttered but there are local landmarks as well and Trustworthy Brewing is “paying homage to the radio towers on top of the Verdugo Mountains overlooking Burbank” with two DDH DIPA’s, one for each tower.
Tower 1 is brewed with Pilsner malt and heavily dry-hopped with Simcoe, Azacca, and Comet hops. Giving it a light color and sweet pineapple flavor. Tower 2 is brewed with 2-row malt and equally graciously dry-hopped with Mosaic and Azacca hops. Giving this beer a deep golden appearance and a sweet hoppy bitterness.
Trust the Haze
When I see pink on a beer label, I immediately think that the hop blend is going to be good. Trustworthy got their hands on this year’s Pink Boots blend and has recently released a DDH hazy but in the pale format.
Trust in Vegas
Burbank to Vegas flights are popular already. Now beer is making the quick hop to the The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Palazzo Las Vegas. As Trustworthy Brewing is opening BBQ and Beer in Nevada. Not quite open yet, but follow their social media to see when you can have California Craft while spinning the roulette wheel.
Trust
Verdugo West is no more. Don’t worry. In this case they are just changing the name. Even the branding is staying the same. The name of their IPA struck a chord and so they are now….. Trustworthy Brewing Co.
That is not the only news from the Burbank brewery. “By the end of the year Gigil Pilsner, Wax Wing Blonde Lager, Trustworthy IPA, Brass Jar Hoppy Amber and What Plane? Oatmeal Stout will be available in 4-pack 16oz cans.”
So get your Verdugo West gear now. It might be a collectors item.
