Join Gary in this LIVE episode of HopTalk, recorded at the buzzing LA Beer Week kickoff festival, where he sits down with Tom Kelley of El Segundo Brewing. This isn't your typical beer chat; it's a deep dive into the LA beer scene's journey from a handful of breweries to over a hundred. Tom, who began his craft beer journey as a bartender at Library Alehouse and has helped grow El Segundo Brewing into one of LA's best breweries, shares his first-hand experience of the growth of LA's beer culture. We cover the rise of the craft beer market, the impact of social media, and the importance of community events like LA Beer Week. But it's more than a history lesson; it's about the bonds formed over a shared passion for beer. Tom highlights how the LA beer scene isn't just about the number of breweries, but the community that's formed around them. We also delve into their collaboration project with Smog City, 'Squirrel Tooth Tiger,' a distinctive brew that shows the creative spirit of LA's breweries. It's a brief chat, but one that encapsulates the innovation LA's beer scene is known for.

Random, right? What could possibly make us chat about a 31 year old Tom Hanks movie? You can blame our pals The Porters who own and operate Smog City Brewing for that one! Join us for an ultra-sized episode while we explore how crazy pertinent Joe's journey is to us modern day worker bees, and why this movie is so special to The Porters. The beverages for this one is Smog City's delightful Kelp Is On The Way, a west coast IPA that is part of their Community Impact Series (which we get great insight on in the episode), and Tropical Farmhouse, a Foudre-aged saison that blew us away. Grab a coldie, and let's get into some deeply expensive but life saving luggage talk!

What's up! We're back with our BEER OF THE WEEK! This week we try Smog City's 10th Anniversary IPA. We talk about why we missed a week of recording. We review The Jungle Cruise (Disney), Jolt (Amazon) and The Suicide Squad (HBO Max.) Join us!

Show notes from John Holl: As we've talked about on the show in the past, there are serious conversations and allegations happening in the beer industry, specifically, these days, around the treatment of women. Sadly, many of these stories are not new, but a lot of them have not been publicly talked about, until a few weeks ago when women started sharing their stories on social media.  There's been a lot of talk, hopefully a lot of listening, some changes, and work towards meaningful action.  Laurie Porter is my guest this week. She's the co-founder of Smog City, a brewery with several locations in Southern California that has helped shaped the Los Angeles Beer Scene over the last decade. She's on brewing industry advisory boards and guilds, and has focused, in her words, on every aspect of her company except the brewing.  But this week Smog City is set to release Total Boss, a red IPA made by the women of the brewery to spark a conversation about misogyny, sexism, assault, and more happening in the beer space.  Porter has spent a lot of time thinking about this and from the brewery's beginning has tried to focus efforts to make Smog City a safe place and one where people are happy to work and feel like they can do their jobs without fear.  Still, these last few weeks have gotten her thinking about where things are, where they were, and where they can be." This Episode is sponsored by:BriessBriess is the leading supplier of specialty malt to craft brewers.  They offer the broadest product line in the industry, including a wide range of roasted malts that add flavor, color, and character to beer.  Their experienced operators handcraft every batch of roasted malt to ensure the product you get is consistent.  Check out BrewingwithBriess.com for beer recipes using roasted malt.  NZ HopsNZ Hops, the co-operative of Master Hop Growers are a passionate collective of farms dedicated to innovation and sustainability.

And now for something a little different! No movie this week because we simply had too much fun talking with The Porters who just so happen to run and operate Smog City Brewing Co. They bestowed 4 beers on us that took us on quite the journey: Infinite Wishes, a bourbon barrel-aged Stout that will knock you on your ass if you’re not careful; the delightful Little Bo Pils, the easiest Pilsner you’ve ever drank; Coffee Porter, the name says it all; and last but not least Solar Wind, a tasty IPA. So grab a coldie, and learn about one cool brewery and the power couple that runs it.

Working on whittling down Carlin’s beer stock, this dive into the cellar sees a return to the competitive spirit of how these episodes started. Both Carlin and Rebecca choose one high and one low ABV beer. Three impress, but one falls flat.

This week, Ally & Jose drink up  new IPA and discuss the tragic murder of Sheila Von Weise-Mack. Cheers!

In our first Beer Nugget episode, we take a class field trip down to Torrance for Phantom Carriage Brewery, Smog City Brewing Company, and Monkish Brewing Co. Melissa, Vanessa and Engineer Bob give us their honest (and somewhat drunken) opinions on the vibe and offerings of these three beer houses. They also argue about how they got to the breweries. Spoiler alert... Melissa is right and Vanessa is drunk. Cheers!

Keryl and Jamie review Monkish Brewing Co.'s Crux (Belgian ale with elderflower) and discuss their visit to Torrance's brewery row (Smog City, Monkish, and The Dudes').

Season 2, Episode 4 - This week, we’re on location at Monkish Brewing in Torrance, California with owner, president and brewer Henry Nguyen and Monkish “Evangelist,” Brian White. The second stop on our South Bay/L.A. beer tour, Monkish Brewing Co. has quickly become a brewery in Southern California that has set themselves away from the pack, brewing nothing but Belgian-style inspired beers. We start the show with two beers that have a history with one another, Crux and Oblate. The latter beer was the first to be brewed at Monkish, even though Crux was technically supposed to be the first beer made, but the result was Oblate. They are similar beers but differ in malts and adjusts.  Monkish Brewing Co. – Sunset Beer The next beer was a collaboration made with Sunset Beer Company, named Sunset Beer. In the early days of Monkish, Henry was brewing at night and delivering beer during the day. He established relationships with many of shops, and Sunset Beer Company was one of them. This “hipster” beer as Henry calls it, is a witbier made with wheat malt, orange zest, and Lotus seed, as well as Citra, Galaxy, and Mosaic hops. It’s fermented with their house yeast, White Labs WLP530 Abbey Ale Yeast, and bottle conditioned with Brett Trois and Brett Brux yeast. It’s dry, aromatic, hoppy, and absolutely delicious.  Fermentors at Monkish Brewing Co. Next up is a beer that has made its way into Matt’s heart, Selah. This beer has only been made once, so far. It was inspired by Jolly Pumpkin‘s approach to beer, and was Monkish’s first beer made with brettanomyces. This is one of only two beers that Matt will drink that contain Sorachi Ace hops, and boy do the hops work well in this beer, giving it a big lemon nose. Henry wanted this beer to finish bone-dry, and used Wyeast 3711 French Saison Yeast, which is know to be a big, big attenuator, as well as Brett Trois and Brett Brux.  Foudres at Monkish Brewing Co. The final beer is Shaolin Fist. This beer is very unique in that it is made with Sichuan peppercorns. Henry was unsure this beer would sell, since during fermentation the brewery smelled like a Panda Express restaurant. This is a very savory beer and is quite complex. Nagel jokes about the beer paring well with carne asada tacos, but in reality, it really would pair well! Henry goes in-depth on a lot of the technical stuff behind Monkish beers, and it’s really quite interesting to hear his point of view on beer. If you’re ever in Torrance, pay a visit to Monkish, and head on over to Smog City, which is less than a quarter mile away.  Thanks, Monkish! Big thanks to Henry and Brian for having us!

Jamie and Keryl's first beer is an American Amber brewed in their own city, Los Angeles. They will drink the beer, review it, and talk about when they first started drinking beer. You can find this beer at Whole Foods and drink along with them (if you are of legal drinking age and not operating heavy machinery).

Season 2, Episode 3 - Four Brewers is on the road! Our first stop in this three episode series devoted to Los Angeles beer is Smog City Brewing Co., in Torrance, California. This week, we’re trying our hand at remote shows, and exploring the LA beer scene. The first stop on the tour is at Smog City Brewing Co., located in Torrance, California. Jonathan Porter and Chris Walowski sat down with us three hours before the release of their bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout named Infinite Wishes, to talk about the brewery and share some tasty brews and interesting stories. Sabre-Toothed Squirrel Labels The first beer, which was served up at a bright and early nine o’clock in the morning, was their “hoppy amber” ale named Sabre-Toothed Squirrel. This beer is made with Falconer’s Flight hops, and could almost be described as “Arrogant Bastard light” in terms of the way the hops and amber malt qualities interact with each another. This sabre-toothed squirrel definitely has some bite… (See what I did there?) Next up is Smog City’s outstanding imperial stout called The Nothing. This beer was originally brewed by Porter at his former brewing home, Tustin Brewing Company, as Double Chocolate Imperial Stout. Coming in at 10% ABV, it contains two types of TCHO cocoa nibs and two types of chocolate malt, and is meant to have a mouthfeel similar to that of a chocolate milk shake. It’s also made with malted oats, which of course, gives John a beer boner. Infinite Wishes Infinite Wishes is the next beer on deck. It’s the bourbon barrel-aged version of The Nothing, and is in the neighborhood of 12% ABV. It was aged in bourbon barrels for precisely 364 days, and it is truly spectacular. It’s quite smooth and hides its alcohol quite well. The barrel character really shines and isn’t too overwhelming or woody. Fans of Smog City were lined up outside of the brewery when we finished recording this episode at 10:00 am, and it sold out in a matter of hours. Here’s to hoping the’ll make this beer again next year… We wrap up the show with a nice, palate cleansing Smog City saison named Saison Contraire. This beer was fermented with Smog City’s house brettanomyces yeast, and then refermanted with two other types of brett yeast. It’s then dry-hoppped and packaged with another dose of brettanomyces to condition the beer in the bottle. That’s a lot of brett, yo. Needless to say, it’s pretty friggin’ great. Smog City Brewing Co. have been at their current location since 2013, but were brewing beers at Tustin Brewing Company under the name Smog City since 2011. They’ve come a long way in the last four years, and we can’t wait to see what 2015 has in store for them. Big, big thanks to the staff at Smog City for having us, and hosting our debut on-location show! Thanks, Smog City! Side note: About halfway through the episode, there is a faint, consistent white noise that can be heard in the background. That was the sound of their CO2 tank being refilled by an outside vendor. Hey, we were in a brewery. It happens. We’ve had a great response to our Patreon campaign thus far, and we’re totally stoked to have 13 Patrons supporting the show!
