Craft Beer in the City of Angels
Straight from the horse’s mouth, you can hear Tony Yanow talk with KCRW about vegan beer and what special steps Golden Road Brewing takes to keep all of their beers vegan-friendly. It’s a quick interview that covers the basics of fining, filtering, and just why there are fish swim-bladders in some craft beer.
The huge cross-over hit TV show, HBO’s Game of Thrones, returns for its third season on Sunday, and the Ommegang-brewed promotional tie-in beer is hitting LA bottle shops this week. But you don’t have to score a bottle of Iron Throne Blond Ale to have a brew to go with the premier; we’ve got more crafty suggestions for your viewing party!
There are a few beers that I enjoy the smell of nearly as much as their taste (Pliny, Stone Enjoy By, many guezes) and smell is, of course, a huge part of the tasting experience. But what happens if your nose isn’t up to snuff, or if you find your olfactory abilities diminishing with age?

Randy Mosher’s Tasting Beer is one of the most informative and enjoyable texts on beer, and it deserves a place on all craft beer fan’s shelves. But what if you didn’t need a shelf for the book? There have been ebook versions of Tasting Beer in the past, but the presentation by electronic textbook company Inkling is the best one we’ve seen.
American Adjunct Lager, the fizzy yellow swill that we drank before we knew any better, gets its name from the non-barley grains that are used to lighten the beer. But adjuncts are not always a dirty-word when it comes to craft beer; just ask any fans of wit beers, oatmeal stouts, or the plethora of rye IPAs that have been introduced in recent years. Creative craft brewers have taken the use of non-barley grains to new heights, but how do these less common grains impact the flavor of beer brewed with them?
For years people have feared the effects of beer on their waist-line, and this fear even lead to the creation of one of beer’s most sinister abominations: the American Light Lager.
But the fight against the beer belly can be best fought with knowledge, and knowing how many calories are in the craft beer you drink is the first step in winning that battle!
Growlers are great. Who doesn’t love fresh beer hot off the tap to enjoy in the comfort of your own home? But how do you take your growler home? If you drive it home, are you violating California’s open container laws? If you take the ultra-convenient train out to the Stone Brewing Company Store in Pasadena can you bring your full growler back on the train without fear of persecution?
Beer of Tomorrow takes a look at the laws the apply, and our conclusions might surprise you! Read more →
