Anther week in the books, and the open thread is here to help you cruise through Friday! Any beery weekend plans? Beer of Tomorrow will be visiting the LA Vegan Beer Fest after winning some tickets from the guys at Untappd!
Here are some highlights from the last week at Beer of Tomorrow in case you missed them:
- We explained how bitterness in beer is measured.
- We looked at tips for ordering fresh beer when your out on the town.
- We took at look at one of our favorite spots to get a burger and a beer in Hollywood
- This was from last week, but in case you missed it here is out post for The Session: Be in the Beer Moment
The comments will be running all weekend long, so if you have a question, a suggestion for what you’d like to see on the site, or just want to share what delicious beers you’re enjoying, let’s hear about it!
You can also follow us on Untappd, and of course the Twitter stream will be active all weekend long.
Cheers!

What beer are you most looking forward to to kick off your Friday night, Brewmaster?
Hmmm. I might get into all that Schlafly that Cameron brought us, and maybe that Pretty Things Jack D’Or.
Mmmm Green Flash Summer Saison…
Must be on the lookout for the Field Mouse Farewell too!
Tempted to just buy a case… But that is a little excessive.
I’m hoping to get some Mikkeller 1000 IBU this afternoon. Fingers crossed the keg hasn’t run dry!
oooh, I want to hear about that one! Good luck! How was the food-fair?
It was good. It’s always been more of a wine than a beer affair, but there were four craft breweries this time (Tuatara, Harringtons, Wigram and Mike’s Organic), plus one importer of UK craft beers, and no big commercial breweries. I tasted about 18 beers and 42 wines. Mike’s Whisky Porter and Tuatara Aotearoa Pale Ale were my picks of the Show.
Oh, and some Ø for Awesome.
So what did you brew yesterday?
I had a cascade brewing spring sasion last night and a rye red… The red felt so flat and heavy after the sasion, probaly would have liked it more on its own
I had a bunch of grain and hops, but I did not remember what I was planning to brew with them, so I ended up brewing an English-style IPA with a lot of Munich Malt and German hops.
I’m not sure if I’m going to dry hop it or not.
