    The Yard Unleashes The Dark Lord Upon LA 

    The impromptu and unofficial bottle share occupying the back corner of The Bruery’s Black Tuesday party last month,  was filled with chatter about another, harder to procure (in these parts at least) dark one, a certain 14% evil ruler. Now the surface  of Santa Monica will crack open and all will be drowned in darkness! 3 Floyd’s Dark Lord Imperial Stout has landed!

    Tomorrow ~ Wednesday, November 17 · 5:00pm – 9:00pm

    The Yard continues its Rare Beer series with a hard to get, highly rated Imperial Stout from Muncie, Indiana – Three Floyd’s Dark Lord. A limited amount of this beer will be available for our Stout/Porter tasting on the 17th.

    The tasting will also include:

    Oskar Blues Ten Fiddy (on tap)

    Allagash Black (on tap)

    Mikkeller Beer Geek Breakfast

    The Yard is located @ 119 Broadway Santa Monica, CA

    Allagash Week Kicks Off at BottleRock Downtown 

    allagash_logoHey beer folks,

    I got my hands on some special beers, so starting Tuesday, the 23rd, we’re going to be featuring a slew of special release taps from what is one of my favorite domestic craft breweries. Beyond our resident handle of Allagash Curieux, we will be pouring another six of their beers, some that I didn’t even know ever found their way into a keg. All the beers will be available in 10oz. Belgian tulip glasses for $8, save for the White, which will be served in a pint glass for the same price. We’ll also have a special taster price for a couple ounces each of all of ‘em. The promotion and the prices will last as long as the kegs, so for your best chance to try them all, come in Tuesday evening.

    Best,
    Alex

    Oh, and here’s far more information about the beers than you probably want: (More …)

    BottleRock Downtown Opens 

    bottlerock-downtownJust 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!

    Location: 1050 Flower St., Ste 167, Los Angeles, CA 90015 (entrance on 11th St. between Hope and Flower St.); Valet parking is $5 and is located on Flower St.

    Hours: Sunday through Thursday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. and until 1:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.
