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.

THE BEERS
Stone Smoked Porter with Chipotle - Rarely, if ever seen out side of the Stone Brewery in San Diego. This unique brew has the roasty/smokey flavors of the stone Smoked Porter with the spicy pepper heat of the added Chipotle.
Grab a pint of this before it disappears…
you never know if you get another chance to drink this one of a kind beer!

Stone Cali – Belgique IPA - Stone’s California-style IPA
brewed with an undeniable Belgium influence, that comes from a carefully selected Belgian yeast strain. Think of it as an otherwise identical twin to
Stone IPA that was raised in a Belgium culture. Literally.

Stone Sublimely Self-Righteous Ale - A brilliantly hopped double IPA–
providing a wake up call of floral and citrus aromas–
backed up by a deliciously smooth and dark roasted maltiness.
You get the best of both worlds with this black double IPA.

Stone Ruination IPA - This massive hop monster has wonderfully delicious
and intensely bitter flavor on a refreshing malt base.
Those who seek, crave and rejoice in beers with big, bold,
bitter character will find true nirvana in Stone Ruination IPA!

Oaked Arrogant Bastard - Another that’s in a class of its own. Some love it. Some dont have the good taste to like it. Either way we dont care.
Its Oaked Arrogant Bastard. Just deal with it!
