ON THE HORIZON:

FIRST FRIDAY @ FOUR POINTS SHERATON LAX POOLSIDE: 9750 AIRPORT BLVD, AUGUST 3RD, 5PM TO 9PM
The Four Points always has many, many great beers on tap and in bottles, so what better than that around the pool on a warm summer night?  Just don’t fall in, K?
AHA MEAD DAY @ THE CARRIAGE HOUSE: 2379 21ST STREET, LA – SATURDAY, AUGUST 4TH, lOAM TO 6PM
Mmmmm…mead.  I love it, don’t you?  This will be like a big brew, but instead of beer, we’ll be brewing multiple batches of that ancient and magical elixir.  Perhaps you’ll find the inspiration to join us!
CLUB MEETING @ CCHBS: AUGUST 16TH, 7PM – PORTER
Brown, robust, and sometimes, even Baltic!  We’ll get down with less-than-black beer once again – expect to enjoy all shades of flavor and aroma – from mild roastiness, toffee, and caramel, to deep chocolate darkness, licorice, and dried fruit.  Love this style?  Then run the commercial tasting!  See VP Dave Mauceli for more info.
