Hollywood Growler

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.    

Join Connor and Dan at Santa Ana River Brewing Company with Owner and Brewer Mike Miller for an interview and tasting at an up and coming boutique brewery with a rock and roll atmosphere.  

Join Dan with guest host Mary Jane @OCBrewgirl at All-American Brew Works for a Brew Day collaborating on our first Hollywood Growler beer with friend of the show Ryan McHugh!

This was a very special episode, and we are so happy that one of the first breweries that we recorded with wanted to have us back to collaborate on a batch of beer.  If you would like to taste this beer we'll be pouring it at the California Craft Brewing Association Convention in Long Beach on September 14, 2019!  Hope to see you there!

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.

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!

Join us for a sit down interview with Tim Barro, and Bob Wheadon of Back Street Brewery in Anaheim.  You can grab an Animation IPA when you visit Disney California Adventure! Or stop in to the tasting rooms in Irvine or in Anaheim next to Angel Stadium!  Lots of beer tasting on the back of this episode, and lots of open conversation with the people behind this highly underrated brewery.

Join us as we record at our first Beer Event: The Orange County Brewers Guild Invitational! Listen as we talk to new and old friends in the beer world and get sneak peeks of certain things to come with the breweries in Orange County. Connor finds himself in a predicament of an allergy concern on the episode. Don't worry, he lives. 

Our conversation continues with Mike Crea of Unsung Brewery, and we learn that Connor is concerned for his mortal safety when consuming "Aged Sour" Beers.  Don't worry.  He survived.

In this Episode of the Hollywood Growler we sit down with Mike Crea, owner of Unsung Brewing Company.  We learned a lot about doing what you love because life is short, Quality Control in breweries and tasting rooms, and you might even hear a little bit about your favorite comic book characters before you head to the movies at the end of the month!

In Part 2 we taste some of the Chapman Crafted Beers, and continue our conversation with Wil Dee!  Mr. Dee makes a great announcement about a new facet of the business in this episode, and treats us to the brand new Ares beer which is part of the limited "Zodiac Series" this year.  It was really tasty, so get down there right away to try it for yourself!
