Tom Kelley and Library Alehouse have put together a great lineup for LA Beer Week. Every night of the week, they’re tapping a new and exciting keg.
On Thursday night, it was a cask of Stone’s 14th Anniversary Emperial IPA, and tonight it’ll be some Lagunitas Maximus & Dogfish Head 60 Minute.
Here’s a look at some of the beers they’ll be tapping the rest of this week: (More …)

See you at Naja’s, and check back soon for more LA Beer Week coverage.
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.
Being 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 …)
Ya han comido tacos con cerveza, and you’ve already slurped down your fair share of real beer floats.
Now it’s time to test out a new pairing – Hot Dogs & Beer.
Starting next week, you’ll have two opportunities to match up Let’s Be Frank hot dogs with some of San Diego’s finest.
Stone Brewing is a great match for this beer dinner with Let’s Be Frank, both companies are well known for their commitment to higher quality products and supporting local producers.
On Wednesday, September 9th, the Weinermobile (well, it’s actually more of a trailer) will be parked in front of the Daily Pint (twitter, facebook) from 7pm on. Let’s Be Frank will be using Stone beers in the preparation of their food, and each dog will have a corresponding beer pairing on tap at the Pint. Exact menu will be released closer to the date.
For all you folks on the eastside of town, if you can’t make it out to the Pint, the Let’s Be Frank trailer will be making it’s way to Verdugo Bar (facebook, twitter) the following Wednesday, September 16th.
