Thank you to Mike for hooking us up with some Ducks tickets tonight.  Please join us for a long and wonderful episode at Laguna Beach Beer Company with Brendon and Christian discussing everything you want to hear about the beer that they are presenting for you at the Brewery in Rancho Santa Margarita and at the new tasting room location on Laguna Canyon Road.  We had a really good time recording this episode, and we hope you learn as much as we did about some styles of beer that you can't just find anywhere.     --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hollywood-growler/support

Pre-Season 2 Brew Day at All-American Brew Works

In this episode we are casting from the OC Brewers Guild PALATE event at the Heritage Museum in Santa Ana, California!  Listen while we review gourmet food tasting bites from local chefs paired with Beers from your favorite Orange County Brewers.  This was a great event with a ton of one-off food bites.  Many of the bites were presented by chefs working in the kitchens of your favorite tasting rooms showing off for the inaugural year of Palate.  We were both very full by the end, and you will be, too. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hollywood-growler/support

Unfortunately we had to reschedule our next Brewery interview, but have no fear!  We have a Supplemental Seattle Episode to tide you over!  Yes, Dan was in Seattle for a wedding and visited a bunch of great breweries in Seattle.  Seattle is coming up big time, and if you are going up that way, you should make some time to go out and taste some of the great beer brewing in the Emerald City!  This episode was the exception in that we recorded at home with just the two of us, but rest assured we will be out in the wild again soon enough! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/hollywood-growler/support
