American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
The beer biz never sleeps at American Craft Beer. And here are just some of what’s been happening in the beer world, while you were thoughtlessly drinking your way through the weekend.
Don’t Act Like You Get It When You Don’t (Los Angeles, CA) – LA Mayor Eric Garcetti reportedly incurred the wrath of the city’s craft beer community over a World Series wager he made with Houston mayor Sylvester Turner.
With this year’s World Series featuring the LA Dodgers facing off against Houston’s Astros, Garcetti promised to send a “uniquely LA meal” (in this case, beer from Golden Road and tacos from Kogi BBQ) if the Dodgers didn’t beat the Astros.
Predictably LA’s craft beer community immediately ‘jumped ugly’ at the insinuation that Golden Road Brewing (now owned by global giant AB InBev) could be accurately considered “uniquely LA” any longer, and launched a twitter storm of indignation, suggesting that their were plenty of truly local LA brewers like Smog City, Eagle Rock, Mumford Brewing, and Three Weavers, that would have made for a more appropriate wager.

Drunken Time Traveler from 2048 (Casper, WY) – Wyoming police reportedly arrested Bryant Johnson recently for public intoxication. Johnson protested his innocence, by claiming that he was if fact from the future and had travelled back in time to warn authorities that invading interstellar colonists would soon be making their way to earth!
Johnson explained that his time-traveling ability was due to the fact that aliens had filled his body with some kind of intergalactic alcohol (we’re thinking something craft) and instructed him to stand on a giant time travel launch pad.
However the aliens’ device had apparently sent the clearly alcohol-addled Johnson, to the wrong point in time (2018, not 2017), for reasons known only to him.
