There aren't any. Just enjoy the Estella Jaliscos with the people and enjoy the game. Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.! Beat L.A.!

There is a Golden Road pouring station behind the outfield bleachers but it's outrageously expensive. Something like $18 for 16 ounces of session IPA.

If you're on the field level, the AMPM store has some cans, otherwise there's 3 Weavers Expatriate somewhere on tap. Or the AB 'craft' stands. #kershawday

Booooo this man!

But it's true... Behind right field there is golden road, pints are around $18 a pop and unfortunately that's usually the best beer around

Kershaw should have paid us tonight. Feck!

I live in Long Beach. Anyone tell me where the spots in LA/OC with a good Fantome selection? Cal Heights liquor typically has Fantome Saison, Ruby and Noel. Wanting to spread my wings.

Bit of a trek, but Hi Times in Costa Mesa usually has quite a few tomes turfing it up.

Kern River taplist was fantastic this weekend. 4 beers that were new to me! Glad to see them doing more one off stuff. Plus Citra was on, which is always a nice perk of stopping by.

Dank Mardukas West Coast Pale Ale abv 6.6% | A Waimea, Amarillo & Chinook hopped pale – perfect to drink with your best friend.
California Lounge Chair West Coast Pale abv 6.7% | Sit back & enjoy a glass full of hops – Amarillo, Citra & Simcoe – w/ the comforting balance of a refeshing pale ale.
Frisco Redneck IPA abv 7.2% | Vic Secret, Loral & Citra hopped IPA brewed exclusively for Toronado San Francisco’s 30th!
Fishin’ in the Dark Coffee Stout abv 9.5% | Rise & shine w/ a cup o’ imperial porter – made with lots of toasty malts & San Diego’s Bird Rock Roaster’s 75% Columbian & 25% Organic Sumatra coffee bean blend.

Finally starting to feel like fall up in the mountains. Kernville was still hot, but a bit further to the north (and higher in elevation) was super pleasant.

I'm going to try to go to this if anyone is around on Saturday. Its at the corner of Willow and Cerritos in the LBC.

Anybody been to Long Beach beer lab? They also bake bread.

Been meaning to check that place out. The bread looks good...not that I need any more carbs. Might do that on Saturday as well.

I actually went last Friday and was really impressed with the beers I had. The pale ale was very solid. I had a taste of one of their sour beers and it was good. The real star was the IPA. No joke, it reminded me of the OG Alpine days. When I first tasted it, it brought back memories of Nelson. I started with a taster and ended up crushing a pint. Centennial, Citra and Motueka hops. Looking forward to going back soon.

I also stopped in for the soft opening of Ten Mile. Great space and it was pretty busy but for me the beers were lacking. Not sure if they're still trying to dial things in but everything I tasted was just not there. Hopefully they can work it out. It's kinda fun to have more breweries open up around the Long Beach area.

I always try to give new breweries 3-4 months personally to figure it out. Some nail it form the start. Green cheek being a recent example.

Sunsoaked is back and delicious. Insane taplist right now.

LB Beer lab was nice. I enjoyed their stout...tons of coffee. FYI, the kitchen is closed on Saaturdays.

Give me all the Neighborhood kthx

Beer Friends!

Barrel Aged Griffith J. Griffith and Neighborhood bottles will go on sale today online at 3:30pm! These details are for Beer Friends only, the public sale will be Friday 9/22/17(with the same pick up dates).

BEER DETAILS:

Barrel-Aged Griffith J. Griffith - Imperial Stout with Trystero Coffee (batch 3) - We took the already decadent Griffith and aged it for 8 months in Woodford Reserve barrels. This beer uses Ethiopian Sidamo coffee roasted by Trystero. We added an additional dose of fresh roasted whole beans just prior to bottling. The base of this beer is a full, warming Imperial Stout with rich, dark chocolate and char from the deep roast, dark berry qualities from the coffee, and decadent chocolate in the finish. The added time in whiskey barrels brings forward the complex notes of a Manhattan cocktail, balanced booziness, and the warmth of charred oak. 12.5% abv.

870 bottle release. $16 per bottle

Neighborhood - Barrel Fermented Witbier (batch 2) - This vibrant and refreshing wit beer was created with the intent of making a more rustic, historic version of this beer style. Fresh Bergamot oranges and Tahitian pummelos were zested and added to French oak barrels. We used a traditional witbier yeast to set the tone for this beer and then added our house cultures (brett, lacto, and pedio) to impart more depth. Refreshing, complex, and gushing with tart citrus fruit characteristics. 5.3% abv.

480 bottle release. $11 per bottle
