Hollywood’s Blue Palms Brewhouse turned three this year. To celebrate, the restaurant & bar’s team hosted a big beer garden complete with multiple beer stations, a massive cowleg, a dunk tank and over 60 great beers, including rare and special releases.

Happy Beerthday Indeed

Among them was a special anniversary vanilla sour brewed by The Bruery just for the party. Later into the evening, Stone Brewing Co. CEO Greg Koch even showed up with some Stone 15th Anniversary Escondidian Imperial Black IPA in tow. But that wasn’t the only surprise. Lenzo and team nabbed a keg of Founders Brewing Company’s KBS (Kentucky Breakfast Stout) for the event too.

Beer Listamania

A lot of heavy hitters from the LA craft beer crowd came together to drink, dunk and celebrate at the legendary establishment’s party. Upon seeing the nearly completed beer list (as posted online before the event occurred), people were calling the Blue Palms Brewhouse Anniversary beer list the “best beer list ever” for summer festivals in California. It would be hard to disagree, and the same sentiments were declared by several patrons during the event. See the list for yourself, below the photos.

Congratulations Blue Palms! We love you and what you have done for beer in LA. You can read more about Brian Lenzo and how he helped the love of craft beer spread in Los Angeles in our previous story, The Beginnings of Blue Palms Brew House: How Brian Lenzo and Better Beer Became BFFs

Coming up next at BP, Chris Quiroga is organizing Woodshop Classix on August 27. Stay tuned for more on that coming soon.

Correction:
The next Woodshop is NOT at Blue Palms, but at Club Bravo in Anaheim (1490 S. Anaheim Blvd., Anaheim, CA 92805). Blue Palms will be providing some of the food for the event, in addition to Beachwood BBQ, Club Bravo itself, and a couple of other “Friends of the Woodshop Tasting”. For more details and to buy tickets go to woodshopclassix.com. Thanks Chris!
