Each morning throught L.A. Beer Week, I will give you my Pick of the Night.  The ONE event I think rises to the top of the list.  Some days that choice will be harder and there might be 1A and 1B’s (if I get wishy-washy).  I will endeavor to pick events you can just head out to.  But if tickets are required, I will mention it.  But expect crowds.  Craft beer and craft beer in L.A. is popular.

Belgian Take Over w/Monkish & New Belgium at Village Tavern
Thursday September 26th 2013 7:00 pm-10:00 pm

Thursday Sept 26th New Belgium & Monkish Brewery Tap take over and Pint Night give away. Rare and Selective beers from both breweries on tap.

I have yet to visit the Village even though it is in nearby Atwater so this is a perfect excuse to see the decor and ambience.  And the beer too.  Those are two strong breweries paired together.

Village Tavern

Atwater Village (and home of the recently held Beer-Wine and Food Fest) is becoming my go-to beer destination and not only because it is so close to me in Glendale.

First was 55 Degrees Wine and Beer and their excellent bottle selection.  Bill’s Liquor across the way has a nicely curated bottle list too.  Then Link n Hops opened up taps and now the Village Tavern….

Check out the story here.  Mexican food and craft beer.  A great combo.  I just hope they have a Vienna Lager on tap.
