Sean Suggests for June 2023

We are going full on L.A. Beer Week beers for this month’s shopping list. From two Freaky Friday South Bay friends to a Crenshaw collaboration.

El Segundo Squirrel-Toothed Tiger – 6.7% – “We went hoppier, Americanier, and, dare we say, downright more majestic than a pre-historic squirrel on their best day. Sure, the tiger may look friendly, albeit a little funny, but it remains a tiger with an inherent instinct to kill nonetheless!”

Crowns & Hops / Los Angeles Ale Works Down Crenshaw IPA – 7% – Mosaic, Nelson and Enigma hops headline this dank West Coast IPA Boulevard.

Smog City Smogberry IPA – 7.2% – Smog City re-imagines the iconic Mayberry IPA.

Smog City / Sunny Dipping Hefeweizen 4.50% ABV
“from Torrance”

~BIG
Institution / Batch 500 IPA 6.40% ABV

All of these beers can be found at Sunset Beer Co. (unless they got bought up real quick)

Sean Suggests for October 2013

header_beer_shopping_list

For October, the theme is literally seasonal.  Here are three Oktoberfest beers from Germany that I think should be in your ‘fridge instead of pumpkin beers.  So forget the light, medium and dark descriptors.

~LIGHT

Ayinger / Oktober Fest Märzen  5.8% ABV

“…a deep golden color tinted with amber. It is lightly sweet with a malty nose balanced with floral hops. Its medium to big body and alcohol is not overpowering. The soft dryness comes from long maturation.”

~MEDIUM

Hacker-Pschorr / Oktober Fest Märzen 5.8% ABV

“Bavarian barley slow roasted, caramelized to a rich, red amber color combined with the purest spring waters from the Alps, exclusive yeast and the finest Hallertau hops.”

~DARK

Weihenstephaner / Oktoberfestbier 5.8% ABV

“A full rich bodied, hoppy, seasonal lager. Especially brewed for the Festbier season. This beer truly represents the Bavarian way of celebrating. Deep gold color, great mouthfeel and lots of flavor. Prost!”
