  BBQ, Chimay & My Friend’s Place at Lucky Devils 

  

  Lucky Devils is supporting local Hollywood charity, My Friend’s Place, for the month of December 2009. We are working to raise awareness about the increasing number of homeless youth that live throughout Southern California. A portion of every sale made at Lucky Devils during the month of December will be donated to My Friend’s Place to help support the more than 1,800 homeless youth that pass through its doors with a variety of resources ranging from food, clothing, and showers, to transformative education and well-being services.

  To kickoff the month-long event, owner and restaurateur Lucky Vanous, has created a tasty holiday special – Ribs and Chimay. The house-smoked BBQ Ribs are made spicy or sweet and are served with your choice of Jalapeno Corn Bread Pudding or Sweet Potato Fries for $16. Add Belgian Chimay, just $8 a glass, and refilled for just $6. Join Lucky Devils Monday or Tuesday and you can keep your Chimay glass (while supplies last). Bring an item from My Friend’s Place donation list (http://myfriendsplace.org/ donatewishlist.html) to put into Lucky’s oversized stocking, and be entered to win a dinner for two at Lucky Devils ($50 value).

  “We are proud to support the work My Friend’s Place provides here in Hollywood,” Lucky Vanous said. “Their efforts to provide tools to help our homeless youth succeed in life are a cause we firmly believe in.”

  Cheers!

    For those of you that missed this event, sham on you!!! But then again more tasty beer and one-on-one time for those of us that went. Tibbi, the great beer expert and very sexy man, gave a superb intro to stouts and beyond tonight. The last beer tasting he hosted was on Lambics, so I can only wait to taste what he has in store for next time. I’m no dummy when it comes to great beer, but Tibbi really knows his stuff and manages to surprise everyone with tasty new hard to find beers every time.

  Firestone Beer Dinner at the Blue Palms, with The Firkins LIVE 

  

  The Blue Palms has a ton of stuff going on this week for American Craft Beer Week.  Every night of the week, they’re doing a different featured brewery, with reps and brewers bringing some special beers.  Check our LA Beer Events page for more info, or just head over to the Blue Palms.  Chances are, you’ll walk right in on something awesome.

  To celebrate American Craft Beer Week, they are donating $1 from every beer purchased to the Hollywood YMCA, but only if you sign the Declaration of Beer Independence (WARNING: pdf file is large).

  To cap off the week, on Saturday the 16th, the Los Angeles Chapter of the Prime Rib Association is presenting a Firestone Walker beer dinner.  Here are some details: (More …)

  The Bruery One Year Anniversary Party 

  Is anyone else surprised that next weekend marks the Bruery’s one year anniversary?

  It’s not so surprising in the “my, where does the time go!” sort of sense, but more of a “holy crap, they’ve skyrocketed to become one of the best breweries in Southern California and they’re only a year old?” sense.

  Even though only one short year has gone by, the Bruery has become a major player in the American Craft Beer scene.  They’ve bottled at least eight year-round and seasonal beers, and done countless one-offs only available at the Bruery.

  Perhaps even more impressive is their achievement of finding distribution in big craft beer markets like Oregon, Philadelphia, New York, and Boston, not to mention Northern California.

  Sure, they’re technically based out of Orange County, but dammit, if the motherfuckin’ Anaheim Angels are gonna call themselves the LA Angels (The Angel’s Angels?), you better believe we’ll be claiming the Bruery as one of LA’s finest craft breweries.

  Here’s some info for next weekend’s Anniversary party, straight off the Bruery Blog:

  On Saturday, May 16th, we’d like to invite you to come help us commemorate our first year in the craft beer making business with – well beer of course!

  In addition to our year-round offerings, we’ll be releasing Papier, our anniversary ale. Papier is a Belgian-style Old Ale layered with complex flavors of dark fruit, vanilla, oak, and burnt sugar. This robust ale weighs in at 14% ABV and we think it’s the perfect beer to mark our first big milestone.

  We’ll also be pouring Levud’s, which was our very first batch, as well as Melange #1, Humulus Ambre, Cuvee Juene, White Zin, and yes, for all you Melange lovers, #3 will be making an appearance! (More …)
