Brews Brothers is bringing back their Annual Beer Festival, this time on May 18th! With an impressive 60 different beers from 25 breweries at their corner Burbank location. You have three more days to decide before the early bird price disappears.
Figueroa Mountain is Lagerville’ing again in April. As has been in the past, it is an impressive assemblage of breweries. It is certainly worth the trip up the lower Central Coast to get your taste buds lager’d.
Brew at the Zoo is back to mix wild animals with (mostly) L.A. beer. Get your tickets for one of the more unique beer festivals that Los Angeles has to offer.
See below for the participating breweries…
The Montrose Craft Beer Fest returns for the 8th time in the foothills just north of Glendale on April 30th. As of a month out, twelve breweries were on the slate and before you go, that is too little of a headcount. Riip, Everywhere, the new version of Cellador, Beachwood, El Segundo and Tarantula Hill will be there which is a good start.
The Los Angeles chapter of The Pink Boots Society is going to throwdown a bunch of women brewed beers on April 15th. It is a goodly cross-section of LA breweries and should be a super fun beer event for those of us getting back into beer festivals.
Get your tickets HERE.
I enjoy and maybe will enjoy again, the Eagle Rock Brewery Session Fest. This month Westsiders can enjoy a new low ABV festival at Three Weavers Brewing. And it has quite the brewery list from both near and far…
Brew at the Zoo is back for 2022. The Los Angeles Zoo in Griffith Park will re-welcome Brew at the Zoo on August 12th. I have been and I love beer festivals where you have anything additional to beer and not just a sweltering L.A. parking lot.
You help the zoo and you get beer.
If you are strong of stomach and want to explore the sour side of beer, well the Sour Friends are back on the 18th at Cellador Ales.
Take down the tiki and store away the tropical shirts because Firkfest has a new theme for 2019…
June 29th is the date this year and tickets are on sale NOW!
It is hard to believe that the Brew at the L.A. Zoo will be turning 8 this year but that is indeed what will happen on Friday, August 3rd from 7pm to 11pm. Or you can VIP it and start at 6pm.
The Brewery at Simzy’s Burbank has stepped up again and has brewed up a Zoo beer with ingredients chosen by the L.A. Zoo’s American black bear, Ranger (excellent name for a bear, by the way). “Specially crafted for Brew at the L.A. Zoo, the pale ale has notes of hibiscus flowers and honey, ingredients picked by Ranger himself.”
