First Friday – Monkish Brewing Co

First Friday is upon us and this month we’ve changed it up and are going to Monkish.  The reason we decided to do this is because Triumphus is on tap!

What is Triumphus?  It is the best of show beer at the Los Angeles Belgian Brew Challenge (ran by Pacific Gravity) this year, that was won by our very own Brian Holter and Kingsley Toby!  Not only is it a delicious tripel, it will be entered as a pro-am for this years GABF!  Even more awesome, it also comes in corked bottles which are only sold at the brewery!  There are limited quantities so make sure you support the club and Monkish and buy some, it’s really good, as Henry and co have graciously supported us for this competition and even put the PG logo on the bottle! How cool is that?!

First Friday – El Segundo Trifecta

Sorry for the late notice, but this month’s First Friday will be the El Segundo Trifecta! What is the trifecta you ask? The list below are the 3 places we will be going to.  So join us at one, two, or all three locations this Friday.

Upcoming Events!

First off I hope everyone has had an awesome holiday season!  2015 is right around the corner and I wanted to remind all of you that we have a couple of events this week.

Brew Years Day

On New Years Day Kingsley and I will be hosting our “Brew Year’s Day” brew day for anyone who wants to join us.  This year we are brewing a batch of Belgian Golden Strong which we will split off 5 gallons into an old used barrel of ours to sour.  We will keep 5 gallons of the clean beer in a keg for next December’s holiday party and we will keg the 5 gallons of sour for the party as well (as long as it tastes like it is ready to go).  The recipe details and other information can be found on the event page for this brew day – or by clicking here.  Hope to see you there!

First Friday @ Public School 310

Our first First Friday of the year will be this Friday 1/2/2015 @ Public School 310.  Click here for details.

Thanks!

First Friday at the Daily Pint

The_Daily_Pint_Logo-lowres1-298x300I took an inventory of Phil’s kegs and with the help of some other members put together a list to request for some special beers to be put on for our First Friday.  Phil was more than happy to make it happen, so it looks like we will have the following beers on tap tonight:
Bruery Trade Winds Tripel
Ninkasi Imperial Red Ale
Bear Republic’s APEX IPA
Firestone OPAL
Avery’s Maharaja IPA
Sierra Nevada SummerFest (maybe)

These plus his other regular taps (and 4 on cask!) should mean that every PG member should be able to find a beer style to their liking!

Please remember the Daily Pint does not serve food so plan to either eat ahead of time or you can buy food and bring it to the Pint with you.

See you tonight!
Cheers!
