Finally. A beer.

Posted at 8:18 pm by Patrick under Beer Photos

After a couple of days of furious touring with my parents in the LA basin, I’ve finally managed to work a beer stop into the mix.

Library Alehouse is a smallish place on Main St. in Santa Monica. It has a well-curated tap list, 20ish taps from the west coast and beyond, including a number of holiday ales from Anchor, Sierra Nevada, and others.

I’ve started with a half-pint of Oaken Bastard from Stone Brewing. It’s a oak-cellared version of their Arrogant Bastard brew. The woody sensation is pronounced but very smooth, and actually helps tame the extreme hop profile of the base beer.

I’ll be ordering a flight of samples for the next round…more when they get here.
