Copied from another thread regarding the L.A. Beerfest last Saturday:
Went on Saturday and had a great time! Hit up all the usual suspects (Stone, Deschutes, Sapporo) and tried some new stuff. Ladyface which is a new brewery in Agoura Hills, CA. The awesome part is that my office will be moving down the street from Ladyface on the 30th!!! BOOM!!! They also said they had a cigar tasting on their patio not topo long ago. Probably the most impressive beer I tried was Requiem Espresso Stout. I can't remember the name of the brewery but I think they were out of San Diego. While the stout could have used a bit more depth, the espresso taste was bang on! We even got a handful of espresso beans and chewed them right before taking a sip. Awesome stuff! Can't wait until next year!
