    TONIGHT: Stone and Let’s Be Franklin @verdugobar 

    Thanks to everyone who came out to the Daily Pint last Wednesday for the Vertical Epic release!  The weiners flowed like beer, and the beer flowed like wine.  And you wondered why they call it hump day.

    verdudo_logoBeing an equal opportunity beer group, we didn’t want to give the Westside the only chance to mix & match delicious Stone Beers with mouth watering Let’s Be Frank dogs.  So this week we take the party east into Glassell Park to visit another LA bastion of incredible beer, Verdugo Bar.

    If you east-of-the-405-ers didn’t make it out last week cause the Pint is too far away, now you’ve got something else to complain about.  Trekking over the hill into Glassell Park.  Well quit your whining!

    Anyone who’s been to Verdugo knows it’s always worth the trip, especially for an event like this.

    Absent last week but in full effect this week is frequent LBF tag-along, Coolhaus, which will be there to help extinguish the flames after a couple of Devil Dogs or Smoked Porter with Chipotle.

    To top it all off, there will be a late night DJ tribute to Aretha Franklin courtesy of Devil’s Pie.  (rumors of free cupcakes?)

    Continue on for the list of Stone Beers on tap, plus their suggested hot dog pairings, courtesy of the Verdugo Bar events page. (More …)
