Beer Festivals Rock
In back-to-back weeks I have been to a fall beer festival. Last week was the Keep a Breast Pint-Sized Beer Festival at Angel City Brewing. They had 4 brewers serving up 2 beers each:
- Angel City
- Eagle Rock
- Golden Road
- Highland Park
I really enjoyed the Avocado Ale from Angel City. They also served their limited Rooftop brew. They had 2 food truck to serve up food with the beer
I took the tour of the brewery. It’s free and you get to taste a bunch of the beers afterwards.
I ended up buying a beer the tour guide recommended which was their Limited Imperial Wheat Tart Cherry. Its a big beer so I am waiting for the right time to give it a try.
Next up was a 2 hour drive up to Buellton, California.
Figueroa Mountain Real Ale Invitational
They had ~ 20 different brewers on hand serving up 2 different cask ales each. It was a lot of big beers. And a beautiful day.
I ended up trying 11 Beers and ended up fairly intoxicated:
- Ballast Point: (failed to write down beer)
- Figueroa Mountain: Davy Brown with Cinnamon
- Tap It: Wet Hop IPA
- Stone: Arrogant Bastard with Citra Hops
- Monkeypaw: Satisfaction (Smores Cask Imperial Stout with Graham Crackers and Cocoa Nibbs)
- MacLeod: The Little Spree (Yorkshire Pale Ale)
- Island Brewing: IPA
- Monkish Brewing: Shaolin Kick (one of my favorites) Sriracha and Basil
- Golden Road: Sour
- Eagle Rock: Tart Cherry (Imperial Stout?)
- Ballast Point: (again failed to write down beer as I was completely drunk at this point)
