The dark lager train is still moving along and I am glad to see it expand into the collaboration realm too.
Unsung Brewing from Anaheim and Ten Mile from Long Beach have a new canned a tmavé pivo named Utmost Pitelnost.
Utmost
Long Beach to Anaheim
Fresh off a collaboration with Three Weavers to the North, Trademark Brewing has gone south to IPA with Unsung Brewing in Anaheim.
Don’t quite like the purple / green combo on the label but I hope to see cans of this in L.A.
Keep On
What if a hazy IPA series had a feel good story behind the name? That is the idea behind the Keep On beers from Unsung Brewing.
Focusing on the SGN news stories is great. Clapping is in reference to people who clap at a specified time of day to show their admiration for health care workers. Learning is for that special teacher who set up a white board outside the home of a student to make sure the lesson took hold. Those two beers may soon be out of rotation but I hope to read about other good stories. The latest release to look for is Keep on Rocking.
1st Visit – Unsung Brewery
Trips to Orange County breweries are rare these days. Hard to pass by everything in L.A., even though I know I should.
Thanks to Firkfest, I was close enough to Unsung Brewing to make a quick visit to their taproom.
…and a very cool space it is. It will eventually be shared with a winery and a distillery so that all three beverage fans can mingle together by the old truck in what used to a transmission shop, or they can grab a seat in….
Inside is a clean, white look with giant green murals that showcase the comic book theme that you see in the decor around the fairly large space.
There was a wide range of beers on tap from hoppy to sour from their R&D beers and their standards. I had tasted both the pineapple sour(with mangoes at Firkfest and without at the taproom) as well as a chocolate, coffee and coconut porter that was nicely balanced without the coconut going too crazy. For a full glass, I went with the Anthia IPA. It was fine. IPA is such a crowded category that unless you fall on either side of the spectrum I don’t get too jazzed but that doesn’t mean that the beer might not sing to another person. I have also had the Naturia DIPA and found that to be a touch too harsh when it could be more soft or floral or citrusy.
I will come back though because I like the vibe and the outdoor space, and I have more beers to sample.
