Great beers on back to back weekends.

Been a minute since I've popped in here. Birthday beer from Friday.

Have a nice weekend y'all. Decisions, decisions

It's been a minute. Glad to see this thread is still going.

It’s been a minute. Hi again everybody.

@dyzzle Yeah, Monkish is not the best brewery to "try different styles". They brew hazy IPA's and the occasional stout/wild ale/saison. Their hazy IPA's are some of the best in the country so I'm not to not go there, but check out Smog City around the corner for a better VARIETY of beers. I'm...

Worth the hype? I guess. Like I said, I'm a bit older than some of you. Chasing beer is not really my style anymore. I don't even stand in Monkish lines anymore unless they post that there is zero line and I'm on my home from work. If a liquor store between home and work got Alchemist in...

The Alchemist hitting CA was legit. 7 day old cans. They are looking to do this 2-3 times a year if they can. Some places were charging $24 for a mixed 4 pack. Less than a Monkish 4 pack. It hit quite a few places here in SoCal, but I'm too old for the chase. @wallyhopp I haven't cracked it...

I had a good beer weekend.

That Bluet from Smog was crazy good. Haven't had this years batch, but I did have the "sneak peak" at last year's anniversary. Windy Hill from Mikkeller is really good for a shelfie hazy IPA. Glad you are having a good time.

There is usually a line for growlers at opening of 30-40 people. Go about 1:30-1:45 and the line will have died down.

So here's a listing of stuff you should hit up while in town (this is from a BA thread): Torrance: Smog City, Monkish Downtown: Modern Times, Mikkeller, Mumford, Highland Park ( Chinatown ) Long Beach: Beechwood, Smog City Steelcraft LAX: ESBC, Firestone Venice Anaheim: The Bruery, Bottle Logic...

Monkish cans sell out in under 2 hours usually. A large batch or double release could last about 3 hours. Smog City is literally around the corner Monkish. Monkish for the haze, Smog for everything else. West Hollywood to Torrance is all 405. It’s going to suck. I’ll give more info tomorrow.

Couldn’t do it. Still stings. My last can was before game 1 of the WS.

Monkish doesn't sell beer online. Can releases are announced about an hour and half before they open. Random days. No set schedule. In the first 20 or so releases, in 2016, they were almost always on Saturdays. In the last year (almost 80 releases) there has been 6 on a saturday. I'm not...
