Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
Famed and awarded home brew club, the SoCal Cerveceros are pitching in for the We Love L.A. wildfire relief with a four-pack survey of styles. It will probably be limited in supply so follow along the socials to make sure you can snag one. The Irish Red is a nice choice as is the Saison.
There has been such a fantastic outpouring of support for Los Angeles by breweries far and wide in the wake of the devastating wildfires of this past January.
There are so many beers out and still coming out from the program spearheaded by Common Space Brewery that it is now time to tell you what beers I have sampled so far.
Here are the first three that I have had, let’s get going….
HopSaint Brewing – Blonde Ale – Light yellow. Malty touch of citrus. easy drinker
HPB – Hello LA DDHd with Nelson Sauvin. Quite a hop pellet kick with grapes following.
Ambitious Ales – hazy pale ale. proper hazy this. nice pillowy mouthfeel. good sharp bitterness.
I have not written about the terrible fires that popped up seemingly everywhere earlier this month in the Los Angeles area. Mostly because it is so sad and disheartening to see such catastrophe some of it closer to where I reside in Glendale than wildfire has ever been.
And Los Angeles was already barely able to build enough as it was, especially when it comes to affordable housing for all economic levels. Now rents and home prices will push even higher than they already were.
But this is not a housing blog, though it kind of is, because the more people that can find housing at a price point that isn’t 75% of take-home pay, the more people will go out and buy good craft beer.
Anyway, the preceding paragraphs are prelude to the actual point of the fact that Common Space Brewery has stepped up to rally our remaining L.A. breweries into a special beer to help the rebuild cause, We Love LA will be showing soon up from over 50 California breweries participating and close to 10 from out of state as well, and I will be grabbing from wherever in financial support. I strongly suggest that we make this beer a complete sell-out.
