Recently, BeerGuyLA was in attendance for a potluck at Sunset Beer Company, hosted by the LA Beer Bloggers Association. Though there were several worthy offerings on tap, without fail something in the coolers at Sunset Beer Co. always catches my eye. Their selection makes it easy to find a brew worth the $2.00 corkage fee. […]
On the heals of Jeff’s Bourbon County Brand Stout review, I present my review of the 2013 Intelligentsia ‘Los Inmortales’ edition of Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout. As with the regular BSC, 2013 saw the first release of Bourbon County Brand Coffee Stout in LA County. This much anticipated arrival was scheduled for a Black […]
Just in time for the holidays, I present my review of 6 Geese-A-Laying, a tasty Dark Belgian Ale from our friends at The Bruery. 6 Geese-A-Laying is the sixth annual release in The Bruery’s ongoing 12 Days of Christmas line of special holiday brews. One beer per year to be released and retired, donning the […]
Sometimes I like to play that game where you go into a bottle shop and put a cap on what you can spend. The challenge is to come out with multiple quality beers for the amount you may have spent on just one and to force yourself to pick up those beers you pass over […]
Last week I posted my review of Punishment, a big, bad, fiery companion to the brew I present to you now; CRIME. I’m the type of guy who likes to get the hard stuff out of the way first. I delved into Punishment expecting nothing less than liquid fire and as usual, Greg and team […]

Hot off of a double gold, triple silver medal winning performance at the Great American Beer Festival, I think now is an apt time to review a beer from one of California’s emerging craft beer talents. Located in Buellton, CA, Figueroa Mountain Brewing is a bit off the beaten path for your average LA beer […]
For the love of Christ, do we as a race look forward to turning into the obese boneless blobs from Wall-E? That’s what I think when I stumble upon things that make me think Soylent Green is a prophecy, not a film. The only difference of course being that in 1973 they didn’t know that […]
For those not up to speed on the inaugural internet sale of Duck-Duck-Gooze that occurred last month, Let us recap. On August 8th Lost Abbey offered an allotment of six bottles per customer using an e-commerce system provided by Nexternal. The sale was met with a lot of backlash due to a 2.5 hour gap […]
Leave it to New Belgium to source the hybrid offspring of plums and apricots to create an inspired Belgian Tripel funked to the hilt with tasty Brett. Pluot Ale not only delivers on the promise of a uniquely flavored brew, it hits all the the right marks I have come to expect from a New […]
