Fresh out of the gates of their hard opening, Verdugo Bar is already working around the clock to dispel any rumors that LA doesn’t have a real beer scene.
This Tuesday, May 6th, Verdugo is welcoming Sarah Lescrauwaet of Duvel USA who is stopping by to conduct a beer and cheese pairing. The bar is […]
To celebrate the return of Dogfish Head to the California market, founder and President Sam Calagione will be pouring 90 Minute IPA, Midas Touch, and the new Palo Santo Marron, a unfiltered 12% malty brown ale aged in wood from the Paraguayan holy tree, Palo Santo.
This event is tonight, April 14th from 6pm to 10pm, […]
Time to add another amazing beer bar to your drinking repertoir.
After many months of building code snafus and limited business hours, Verdugo Bar is officially opening tonight.
God bless ‘em for their sense of humor, they’ve got Delirium Tremens and St. Bernardus Abt 12 on tap right next to Miller High Life. Click on the […]

It’s that time of the year again. Last week Stone released one of their most beloved seasonal beers, 2008’s Russian Imperial Stout. Buy a couple bottles if you’re lucky enough to find it, this is one of those beers that vanishes off the shelves pretty quickly. Part of the reason for this […]
(UPDATE: Pictures from the event are here)
Ever since the Great LA Beer Run of 2007, I’ve realized what huge possibilities there are for events like these. Something this awesome doesn’t come to LA everyday. So when it does, you need to clear your busy Saturday afternoon schedule, find a dog costume, and […]
Have you been out to your favorite bottle shop in the last week? LA has a new Flemish Sour Red that is finally being distributed out here, and it’s popping up on shelves all over town.
I tried this stuff over the summer in Seattle and I fully credit it with turning me on to […]
A question I’ve been getting a lot lately is, “Dave, when are we going to see Mikkeller’s Beer Geek Breakfast Stout in LA??”
Truth is, I had no idea, and it killed me to not have an answer.
But just a few days ago, I stumbled upon Mikkel(ler)’s Blog, presumably written by brewer Mikkel Borg Bjergsøl.
According to […]
Have I not been to Father’s in a while? Cause now they have a whole slew of Russian Rivers: Damnation, Perdition, and Pliny the Elder.
Also making appearances this month are Craftsman’s Oktoberfest, and as part of the John’s Locker Stock program, Rogue’s Imperial Porter. This stuff is so special I don’t even have […]
On Wednesday, the LA Times’ Food Section had a cool article about the growing Santa Barbara beer circuit. Mentioned in the article were the town’s new brewpubs, Hollister Brewing Co. and Downtown Brewing Co., as well as good ol’ Firestone Walker.
It’s exciting to think that Santa Barbara, which is mainly known for its wine, […]

In today’s Travel section of the New York Times, Evan Rail throws himself on top of a grenade and submits himself to a beer pilgrimage across Germany in the name of journalism. What a noble cause.
New York Times
An interesting look at Weiss, Rauch, and Kölsch.
This is top-notch journalism here, people, so take heed.
If […]
Arguably the best brewer in LA, Mark Jilg has been making Craftsman since 1995 in a tiny warehouse in Pasadena. I was first introduced to his Craftsman Hefeweizen a couple years ago at Father’s Office. I don’t think they even sell this stuff in bottles. It’s easy to forget that they make […]
Alabama, the cap has been popped, now it’s your turn to free the hops.
Yeah, this news is a little old by now, but as of yesterday, the Governor of South Carolina signed the bill into law.
Amazing what can be achieved with a little online grassroots activism. Congratulations to the great folk of South Carolina. […]
Interesting developments in the world of science this week:
NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ—A team of three out-of-work stem cell biologists announced Monday that, after four weeks of rigorous observation and field testing, the evidence conclusively shows that chief researcher Dr. Henry Rogers’ dog Franklin likes beer.
“We’re extremely pleased with the results of the experiment,” Rogers said. “It […]
