I hope they succeed. The more great breweries out here the better.

Hah... That's a great way to phrase it. It's like, they're ALMOST awesome...but haven't quite made it to that level yet.

I didn't mean to sound negative. I like Golden Road a lot. Their beers have gotten better by leaps and bounds over the last couple of years and Tony's Darts Away is one of my favorite beer spots.

I more meant that Los Angeles needs a powerhouse brewery to be the face of LA beer scene and it looks like Golden Road is going to be the one to do it. Adding Jesse Houck made them drinkable. Novak should make them respectable nationwide
 
Mohawk Bend 3rd Anniversary Party - Weds 8/6 at 12pm

For those without Facebook (or who don't like opening links)...

Can you believe it's been three years since we first opened our doors here in Echo Park? It's been a pleasure being in this vibrant pocket of Los Angeles and to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary (and many more to come), we have lined up a few special treats for you all to enjoy.

Join us for our official Anniversary Party on Wednesday, August 6th or pop in all month long and get a taste of the goodies we have in store for you:

The Beer: This year, we brewed another collaboration with our sister company Golden Road Brewing. MoHop is a vibrant India Pale Lager generously dosed with hops from the southern hemisphere. This 6.5% IPL features a beautiful blend of Mosaic, Motueka, and Equinox to bring you a fruity brew with a nice hop bite.

The Cocktails: Our Bar Director Lauren Reyes has teamed up with Beer Buyer Lauren O'Neill for some Barrel-Aged fun. In addition to a Barrel-Aged Cocktail made specially for our anniversary, we will also have the barrel-aged version of our 2nd Anniversary ale, One Hundred & Two aged in white wine barrels!

The Art: Our Ramona Room will house a collection of local art curated by Mohawk Bend family member Donovan Aste ft. Mia Rodriquez, Adam Roth, Lyle Wessles, and Mike Jasorka. ** Opening Reception will be held Aug. 6th from 5:30-7:30. **

Stay tuned for more details.
Follow us on Instagram & Twitter (at) MohawkLA and tag your photos w/ #MB3rd!
 
LA/San Bernardino folks, I have to work in Hesperia next week (lucky me) and am wanting to stay elsewhere, but still be close. I think my two best options would be Rancho Cucamunga (Slaters 50/50) or Redlands (Hangar 24 and Ritual). Thoughts on the better option?

Smog City's The Nothing is hitting bottle shops this week. Just picked up a bottle from Ramirez Beverage Center for $10.99 (ouch, I know, but that's going to be standard +/- a buck for this stuff). Also saw it posted at 3Ten Liquor.
 
From El Segundo Brewing Co's FB page:
"IT'S HERE!! Bottles available in the taproom tonight, release party this Saturday!"

I really loved their Amarillo Pale Ale so this one has me really excited. I asked my wife to pick me up a couple bottles on her way home from work (she works 5 mins. away)--AND SHE DID!!! I'm starting to think she loves me.

I love ESBC. They have another new DIPA in the works as well.

No breweries that really jump out at me. Not enough to deal with the throngs of people there anyways. A lot of breweries that I don't recognize or am just not familiar with. If anyone knows of a sleeper in this list, please speak up.

Any interest in joining the SoCal Gang Bang BIF? I've been meaning to ask since you updated your address in the Potato BIF.
Yeah I'm interested. I've heard of what goes on at these Gang Bangs but have never participated. Let me know how/when I can help!
 
Since I got yelled at earlier...

From Bottle Logic:

Counter Clockweisse -- we gave our German Berlinerweisse a sabbatical on 170 pounds of cherries and boysenberries. This beer is tart and gorgeously pink with all the bright notes of these summer berries.

Oh, **** YES!!! Noble's Tongue Tickles is coming back! (finally!) I only got to try this beer once last year--I will not make that same mistake again this year. Bottles should be coming out shortly after the release event.

From their Instagram page:

National IPA Day is on August 7th, and we're tickled pink to celebrate it by releasing TONGUE TICKLES Double IPA in our tasting room! Don't miss out on all the Tongue Tickling action next week! #craftbeer #OCbeer #tonguetickles #doubleIPA #IPAday #BeerMe #bottleshots #thisisastickup
