About three weeks ago I posted a press release from the LA County Brewers Guild announcing the return of the LA Independent Beer Festival on June 10th; hopefully you grabbed your discounted tickets to the festival, but if not, don’t despair as I have a discount code for you. But first, I want to mention that the LA Independent Beer Festival is actually the kickoff event for the 14th Annual LA Beer Week. Yes, after three years interrupted by COVID, LA Beer Week is returning.

The official beginning of LA Beer Week (LABW14) is June 10 and it will run through June 18. LABW14 will return to where LABW11 left off, with special events held at various locations throughout Los Angeles County almost on a daily basis; for a full list of planned events, please visit https://www.labrewersguild.org/events.

Highlights of the week for me, not including the LA Independent Beer Festival, would include the after party at Beachwood Brewing, the Common Space/LA Ale Works block party, Brewery Dodge Ball at Three Weavers, and Absolution Brewing’s 9th Anniversary celebration. It should be a great week of beer and friends.

I did start this article off by suggesting I had a discount code for those of you that still have not purchased your tickets for the LA Independent Beer Festival, and since you made it this far, I suppose you have earned it.

I should make sure you know that there are only 25 people that will get to utilize this, so do not delay! You can get your tickets via Eventbrite here. Use PROMO CODE ‘craftbeerguy671’ (be sure to hit apply) to receive a 10% discount.

There will be at least 75 breweries, which means there will be at least 150 beers to sample. I am pretty sure you don’t want to miss this. I hope to see you there. Cheers!
