Tomorrow! Friday the 11th of April!
Sometime between 6 and 7 o’clock, the Daily Pint in Santa Monica is tapping a firkin of unfiltered Firestone Double Barrel Ale.
That’s right, Real Ale in Santa Monica. A rep from Firestone is bringing by a temporary beer engine for this single keg, and once it kicks, it’s […]
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 […]
Remember way back when, before I had ever tried Green Flash? Now it’s a semi-frequent part of my repertoire. Nut Brown, Imperial IPA, the Barleywine, they’re all fantastic. Picked this bottle up for $4.69 at Vendome Toluca Lake. Map it!

Anderson Valley, can you do no wrong? Ever since I tried your Summer Solstice back in July, I knew I’d found something special. That Cerveza Crema coats my gullet with velvety goodness that rivals even a snug velour jumpsuit in tactual pleasure.
I had high hopes for the Winter Solstice, and I’m happy to […]
I really want to try and like this stuff because it’s brewed here in LA, but all I can say about it is “meh.”
Too sweet for my tastes, and a weird mustiness to it like moth balls in my nana’s closet. There is no way I could finish a bomber of this […]
Anderson Valley keeps turning up in all the best beer stores in LA. Whole Foods in Santa Monica has six packs of Hop Ottin’, Barney Flats, and Boont Amber on the shelves. You can get their Boont Amber on tap at Sonny McLean’s, the Otheroom, and the Daily Pint. I don’t […]
I bought this bottle at Lucky Stop Liquor on Abbot Kinney and California, the same place I picked up Black Sheep’s Riggwelter for last month’s Session. I don’t really see Alleycat too often, maybe at the Ralph’s on Cloverfield. While it’s not too prevalent, their Great White and Downtown Brown are practically […]

After much hype, and a lot of patience on my part, I was pleasantly surprised to see Craftsman Triple White Sage on tap at Father’s Office last night. I have been a fan of Craftsman ever since I turned […]
Firestone Double Barrel Ale is made up north in Paso Robles, California, just outside of San Luis Obispo. So for us kids at UCSB, it always had the street cred of being our local brew. Just like the kids from Chico who can never have a conversation about beer without claiming Sierra Nevada […]
