Drink Beer, Think Beer With John Holl We Love Los Angeles
Over the last month the news coverage out of Los Angeles has been terrifying and heart breaking. A number of fires, driven by the wind, have claimed lives and tens of thousands of homes. Lives are up ended and rebuilding will take years or more. Brewers are used to stepping up in these situations, be it fires, hurricanes, or other natural disasters, there’s a good bet that within a few days of something terrible happening, a collaboration beer will pop up. Brewers anywhere can make it and then donate processed to relief efforts or specific charities.
Common Space Brewing stepped up this time with the We Love LA beer, and brewery co-founder Brent Knapp is here to talk about the origins of the beer and how folks can help. He’s joined by Brian Avery of Bravery Brewing, who is also the president of the LA Brewers Guild. Both joined me via zoom.
