Booze The recommend-a-beer thread

[daxx]

Parabola is one of the few beers I make a point to buy bottles of when it comes around. Hope we get another wave of cases in LA in the next month.

My wife and I go to Paso Robles every so often, and each time I've gone their tasting room has been closed. With any luck I'll be able to stock up on a few other rare brews. I'm sitting on a 2015 Sucaba, so if they're open and have it I'll give it a shot there.

I had their IPA this weekend and wasn't impressed. Maybe I'll give this a shot

They are selling this in 4-packs now. Found one over the weekend. Very tasty.

not the first time I had this. tried it at a taster months ago. then a friend got it for me.

I was practically shaking the last drop out of the bottle. oak barrel aged. it is THAT good.

Can you guys recommend any good breweries/tap rooms/bars in the West LA/Santa Monica/Culver City area?

El Segundo Brewing's new expanded Tap Room is opening this weekend I believe.

Thanks! I really like their beer. One of my buddies always brings over Growlers with their beer.

They posted a picture of it on their Instagram account today. I kinda liked how the one is now, except that it is tiny.. Their hammerland is a really great DIPA followed by two5left. The mayberry single blows away most regular IPAs imo

I've been hearing great things about ESBC. definitely would check it out when in the area. it's across the street from Rock n Brews, right?

 

[BeerMan]

see if you can find these gems from Atlanta, GA. I had the 420 Exta PA the other night without bothering to take a photo of the pack. just had the IPA tonight. good stuff.

Correct, not sure where the entrance to the new tap room is going to be though

WOW.

Petrus Aged Red

Little overpowering with sour cherries but really good.

A great sour beer.

did you have cheese to go with it?

Just more beer.

Huntington Beach brewery...that delivers growlers to your door (if you live in HB). They bottle this Dan K IPA and it is excellent. If you find it, grab a bottle. Tastes a lot like RR Blind Pig (no joke). I've had luck finding bottles at Mr. Kegs in HB if you're ever in the area. Make the trip...there is an excellent butcher across the street.

One of the best non-name brand liquor stores in So Cal in my opinion.

Whittier Liquor Mart
13583 Whittier Blvd
Whittier, California

They have everything including a sizable keg collection. Also, if they don't have it they will find it and get it for you.
