Next Sunday, March 8, Abigaile Restaurant and Ocean Bar in Hermosa Beach will hold their inaugural Brewtopia Beer Garden, featuring 23 of Los Angeles’ finest craft breweries and food prepared by Abigail’s Chef Tin who will be providing his latest barbecue grill creations. This is the second beer garden event hosted by Abigaile, with the last one being their Novem-BEER-Fest which was held in the middle of last November. If you did not make it to Novem-BEER-Fest you missed a great event that featured some very good brews and lots of really tasty foods. Brewtopia will have even more breweries represented with more food at the same price as Novem-BEER-Fest.

The breweries scheduled to attend include Absolution, Alosta, Angel City, Beachwood, Bootlegger’s, Bravery, The Bruery, Eagle Rock, El Segundo, Golden Road, Kinetic, King Harbor, Ladyface, Monkish, MacLeod, Noble, Phantom, Progress, Smog City, Strand, Timeless Pints, The Dudes’ and Three Weavers. The food menu includes short-ribs, skewers, sliders, garlic knots and a lot more. If you have ever been to an Abigaile event you know the special treats that Chef Tin comes up with; if you have not, you are in for a special treat. I could tell you that the skewers will be made up of Katsu glazed salmon or Korean beef coconut or curry chicken sate; or that there will be Chilled Peanut Somen Noodle but the names, as exotic as they are, will fall short in describing the tasty foods you will experience if you show up at Brewtopia.

The Brewtopia Beer Garden will run from noon until 6:00 PM and will take over all three floors of Abigaile and Ocean Bar as well as the patio. General Admission is $30 and includes 10 four ounce pours from any of the 23 featured breweries as well as unlimited food prepared by Chef Tin and the Abigaile grill team. VIP tickets are $50 and include unlimited four ounce beer pours from any of the 23 featured breweries as well as unlimited food prepared by Chef Tin and the Abigaile barbecue team.

You can get more information and purchase tickets through Eventbrite.com. Abigaile Restaurant and Ocean Bar are located at 1301 Manhattan Avenue in Hermosa Beach. This 2015 craft beer festival season is going to get off to a great start with Brewtopia. I have been to many Abigaile craft beer events and not once did I leave disappointed; I feel confident in assuring you that you will have a great time. I hope to see you there. Cheers!
