Just received an email notification that BottleRock Downtown has officially opened, only a few days after Monday’s soft opening.

Although BottleRock has always had a much bigger focus on wine, like most other restaurants in LA, the Culver City location has always had a sturdy beer list.  The Downtown location seeks to expand on BRCC’s success by offering MORE of everything (see below).  Fortunately for us, this means beer too!

Their best asset, and strongest indication that the new BottleRock will become Downtown’s best beer spot, is their new resident beer expert; beer geek and former Red Carpet beermonger Alex Macy.

Anyone who’s ever shopped at Red Carpet Wines knows they are an LA Beer Powerhouse, and they probably wouldn’t be that way without Alex’s guidance.  He is a true beer geek who knows the LA beer scene backwards and forwards, you can pick his brain for hours and not scratch the surface of his beer knowledge.

Here’s the email announcement, keep reading for their current tap list:

The moment you all have been waiting for is finally here! BottleRock downtown opens its doors today to welcome thirsty Angelenos to more great pours and all that our Culver City location has to offer-on a magnified level. That means MORE of everything you love about BottleRock Culver City and MORE: 4,000 sq ft. of space; a wine list that will boast 1,000 selections to taste, sip on or buy to-go; rare, sought-after treasures such as First-Growth Bordeaux, Grand Cru Burgundy and allocated collector’s wine; an extensive beer list with 13 microbrews on tap; and an mouth-watering food menu demonstrating the talents of Executive Chef, Jared Levy (Providence, Blue Velvet). The downtown menu is structured to encourage exploration with mouth-watering offerings such as Seared Diver Scallop with Crispy Lamb Sweetbreads; Pork Belly Risotto; Crispy Arctic Char, Fresh Fava & Pistachio Falafel, artisan cheese plates, charcuterie and more!
