Filed as: Breweries, News, Articles

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 […]

Skyscraper Brewing Anniversary Party: Saturday January 19th @ 2pm

January 9th, 2008 – 5:46 pm

You are invited to a place where the beer flows like wine. Where beautiful women instinctively flock, like the salmon of Capistrano. No, not Aspen. I’m talking about a little place called El Monte, California. And the beer will be flowing like water, or maybe even flowing like the oil […]

Does anyone else love Mystery Science Theater 3000 as much I do? For God’s sake I have an MST3K mousepad. How’s that for geek capital?
Well apparently Mike Nelson, Crow, and Tom Servo escaped from the Satellite of Love (no word on Gypsy), and now Mike lives in San Diego and enjoys the local […]

I’ve Been a Bad Little Blogger

July 30th, 2007 – 12:43 pm

Well, the initial plan was to keep posting to the ol’ blog in each new town I visited. But alas, I ended up spending more time drinking beer than I spent writing about drinking beer. So I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
Hell, I still haven’t written up my awesome journey to […]

After reading Ted-o’s fantastic Session post about Cask Elissa at the Gingerman, and seeing how I don’t have anything better to do tomorrow than make a field trip to Houston, I’ve decided to head up to the Saint Arnold’s for their weekly brewery tour. And what better time to visit, since tomorrow is their […]

Green Flash Brewing: Pirates Probably Drink It

May 25th, 2007 – 3:15 pm

In honor of the third Pirates of the Caribbean movie opening today, I thought I would share a story told by Jim Hill, an entertainment writer who specializes in all things Disney.
Did you know the first movie, “Curse of the Black Pearl,” almost never got made? I remember thinking it was a pretty lame […]

Craftsman Brewmaster Mark Jilg

May 7th, 2007 – 5:06 pm

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 […]
