When news broke in 2018 that the Jonker family – behind local favorite pizza chain Toppers Pizza – was opening a brewery in a former auto shop, it was anyone’s guess how it would turn out. They also recently opened up a new location in the Sunset Beach neighborhood of Huntington beach complete with rooftop deck ocean views, a drive-thru beer pickup station, and all the awesome Green Cheek beer that we know and love. They’ve got a small taproom in Orange, and their Costa Mesa location also has a fantastic astroturfed patio, and a burger menu to soak up all that beer. They bring a similar balance to all of their beers, and are increasingly branching out with other new techniques, including foeder-aging and mixed-drink style beers – like, for example, a 12% ABV gin and tonic style seltzer. Green Cheek’s hazies stand out because they’ve mastered the balancing act of bright juiciness with layered depth and complexity. They consistently have somewhere around five different NEIPAs on draft. If you’re a fan of New England style IPAs, there might be no better place in Southern California for you than Green Cheek Beer Co. These are the 25 best places to drink beer in Los Angeles, Ventura, and Orange County.Ģ957 Randolph Av unit B | Costa Mesa More Info So without further ado, it’s time to begin your Southern California craft beer journey. But when we’re talking about the best, we have to make some tough decisions. There are way, way more spots worth your time than just these 25. Which is all to say – narrowing this list down wasn’t easy. Once everyone got past the jokes about gluten, the world discovered LA and the surrounding counties have some pretty damn good beer. Or maybe you’ve been drinking beer in Southern California since before anyone had ever said the words “hazy IPA” or “pastry stout” – that doesn’t mean you don’t still have some things you can learn.Īlthough Southern California’s craft beer culture really got off the ground in the 2010s – a decade or so later than other beer hubs in the U.S. Or, maybe it’s your first time drinking beer in Southern California. 40-Man Roster?īy waiving Plouffe and Walker, the Twins cleared two more spots on the 40-man roster, giving the team six empty spots to protect prospects from the Rule 5 draft or acquire other players.Īccording to Mike Berardino, it looks like my predictions from yesterday were correct, and then some.It’s your first time visiting Southern California. Despite already being on the 40-man roster, the Twins declined giving Walker a shot in the majors as a September call-up this year, which was a big red flag as for his future with the organization. This was especially true with the emergence of Daniel Palka, who also plays outfield, is strikeout prone, but may have slightly more power. The move doesn’t come as much of a surprise, as the Twins enthusiasm for Walker appeared to be waning. So anyway, yes, Adam Brett Walker II is now a Brewer. This is the problem when you use too many names-the potential to get them all mixed up is too great. Sorry for the error.- Phil Miller November 18, 2016 Adam Walker was the player claimed by Brewers. The problem was that he actually meant Adam Brett Walker II, not John Ryan Murphy.Īpologies, I misunderstood: JR Murphy NOT waived and claimed. Soon after the news broke about Trevor Plouffe, the Star Tribune’s Phil Miller reported that John Ryan Murphy was also placed on outright waivers and was claimed by the Brewers. Our friend Mike Bates wrote about why this was a good move by the Twins over at MLB Daily Dish. The good news here? Miguel Sano is now officially and undoubtedly the Twins third baseman, making Thad Levine’s hints about potentially playing Sano in the outfield again a lot less scary. He will most certainly find suitors in free agency (perhaps the Angels?), but won’t be getting $8.2 million. Like the Twins, apparently no one was willing to pick up the $8.2 million price tag Plouffe was expected to receive in arbitration this year. 22 on trade interest in Plouffe: "Crickets." Reported that then.
