Heading to the States over Christmas. 3 weeks in total. 2 weeks in Phoenix where family live and a week in LA for Disneyland with the kids. This will be my 3rd trip over there and the 1st where I had any concept of good beer.
Won’t have time or the inclination to visit any pubs/bars/breweries so will be finding a few liquor stores where I can get myself a good selection to sip on in the evenings with the family.
Will be starting the list, obviously with Pliny the Elder and anything from Russian River. Anything by Green Flash, as I’m a massive fan.
Saw a post a while back (bum I think) with a list of beers worthy of trying, can’t find it now. But remember thinking that there were a heap of beers there worth getting into.
So the list goes at this point;
Russian River
- Pliny the Elder
- Actually anything from Russian River, however never had one of their beers
Green Flash
- West Coast IPA
- Trippel
- anything else, big fan of the brewery
Stone
- Arrogant *******
- Ruination IPA
Lagunitas
- IPA
- Maxiums IPA
- Imperial Red
Sierra Nevada
- Bigfoot
- Fresh Pale (probably a go to beer at restaurants etc.)
- Fresh IPA
- Any special releases I come across
Rogue
Dogfishead
Bear Republic
New Belgium… had a few Fat Tires (available everywhere)when there last, thought nothing special of it. Maybe different perspective now.
