TONIGHT: Oktoberfest & Weihenstephan Night at the Pint
Lay out your leiderhosen & dust of your dirndl, tonight it's Oktoberfest at the Daily Pint! We will be featuring all sorts of German beers, including Hacker-Pschorr, Hofbrau, Kostritzer Schwartzbier, Spaten, and a whole bunch of Weihenstephan.
As a part of LA Beer Week, get here early and keep the glass!
Snacks & sausages will be available, so don't be afraid to come on an empty stomach.
Featured Weihenstephan beers: Original Lager, Hefeweiss, Kristalweiss, Hefeweiss Dunkel, and the rarely seen on draft Vitus Weizenbock and Korbinian Doppelbock.
See you tonight!
One Bourbon, 9 Scotches & 6 Beers
***UPDATE: Tonight's Scotch menu has changed. We apologize for the short notice! See new menu below***
Said "Look man, come down here." He got down there. What you want?
Move it on over to the Daily Pint this Wednesday 10/21 for a double dose of special events.
With the magical convergence of LA Beer Week and Whisky Live, we have double booked the Pint for a scotch tasting and an evening of casks from Firestone Walker.
This is a complete departure from our past scotch tastings, with a whole new lineup of single malts from the Highlands & Islands. Choose any 6 whiskies out of the 9 on the list for the low low price of 30 dollars! Master Distiller Ian MacMilan will be there to guide the tasting and talk shop.
There are some surprisingly old whiskies on the list for such a low price, Deanston 30 yr and Bunnahabhain 25 yr being the standouts. Add four more whiskies and your tab is still only $30. See below for the full menu.
Scotch lineup has changed. See below for an updated image. Whiskeys include:
- Singleton 12
- Glenkinchie 12
- Cragganmore 12
- Oban 14
- Ardberg 10
Remember our original Firkin Fridays, before the LA Times article and before our 4 beer engines were installed? The first cask we ever had was the Unfiltered Double Barrel (April 11th, 2008), and it's been far too long without a Firestone cask on the board.
In addition to the Firestone beers we normally keep on draft, Wednesday will see the return of Unfiltered Double Barrel, plus casks of Union Jack, Pale 31, and Walkers Reserve Porter.
LA Beer Week – Ballast Point Returns to the Pint on Friday
The Pint once again welcomes the Ballast Point crew to Santa Monica this Friday for LA Beer Week. They'll be bringing up some fantastic beers. This may very well be the first time Los Angeles has seen the holy IPA trinity of Big Eye, Sculpin, and Dorado all on tap at the same time.
Also being tapped are a keg of Bourbon Barrel Aged Sea Monster Stout, and a cask of Bourbon & Chocolate aged Black Marlin Porter. And if we're lucky, maybe they'll bring some of their spirits along!
