Neighborhood - Press & Events

The Craft Brewers Conference is in town, which means this week is arguably the most fun week of the year for the beer industry. The Conference moves around annually and every other year there is also a World Beer Cup, the creme de la creme of beer awards. This just happens to be one of those years. The conference starts May 2nd and ends with the awards ceremony May 5th. While we always love seeing our local brewers out on the town, this week we will see brewers from all over the world, the ones that make the stuff you have to travel to get. A lot of bars around town will be tapping some special kegs, hosting events, and being generally jolly. Here is what we have going on:

Wednesday May 2nd Featuring Eagle Rock Brewery!

"Established in 2009 by Jeremy Raub, wife Ting Su, and father Steven Raub, Eagle Rock Brewery was the first

microbrewery to open its operation in the city of Los Angeles in over 60 years. This family owned microbrewery

is dedicated to the production of artisanal beers using the best ingredients, and to the ongoing development of the

beer community in Los Angeles."

We're really excited to share 5 kegs of Eagle Rock beer with you Wednesday night. These guys are committed to the craft and their beer rarely makes it down here. Some folks from the brewery will be around to talk shops and hops.

Sunday May 6th Featuring Firestone Walker!

This is an awesome brewery that we don't feature enough. Located in Paso Robles, an area known for it's agriculture and wine production, they summon the region by aging brews in oak barrels, collaborating with vintners on blended beers, and participating in various pairing dinners. A certain former employee of The Neighborhood may even be around to tap a cask, chat, and tell you all about her new work load, because it's very relevant. We'll be starting at noon and will pour beer throughout the day.

AVERY FLIGHT AVAILABLE TODAY UNTIL ITS NOT

March 5, 2012

When our kegs of Avery Maharaja Imperial IPA and Avery IPA came in late last week we realized we were already serving Ellie's Brown and Salvation. We quickly tapped the two IPA's because we love IPAs and now we have four different beers from Avery Brewing in Boulder, Colorado, and we think it's neat. We are offering them today and possibly tomorrow as a flight. Here is what you get for just $8.00...

Ellie's Brown- A brown ale with some mild nutty sweetness, roasty and sessionable.

IPA- Mild-ish IPA with citrus and floral notes.

Salvation- A golden ale with notes of fruit and spices. Refreshing, tasty and warming.

Maharaja- A delicious imperial IPA with tons of hops and malt to back it up.

Can't wait to share them with you.

Friday @ 5 is.....

February 24, 2012

Craftsman El Prieto! A black ale that is light bodied yet full of mouth-puckering sourness. It's barrel aged with notes of green apple and roasted malt, it's tasty.

See you at 5!

FRIDAY @ 5....

February 17, 2012

Today's Friday @ 5 keg is Russian River Supplication. It's a brown ale aged fermented with wild yeasts and sour cherries in Pinot Noir barrels gathered from vinyards around the Santa Rosa and Sonoma areas. We love everything about this beer. It is tart and fruity and finishes dry, although it's not too much of anyone of those things...Come to the Hood at Five. Nikki or Liza will be happy to pour you one, and let you decide for yourself.

FRIDAY @ 5, LOST ABBEY CUVEE TOMEE

February 9, 2012

Cuvee Tomme starts with a brown ale fermented with raisins, sour cherries, Candi Sugar and malted barley. Its then aged for one year in bourbon barrels with sour cherries and wild yeasts. The result is a juicy reddish brown ale. Sour with flavors or oak, vanilla, dark fruit, and booze. We were lucky to get a keg of this highly coveted local brew and are looking forward to sharing it with you tomorrow.
