Moved to LA were is the good beer

[FSUplumber]

My Daughter just moved to LA with her boyfriend and is wondering if there are any groups that get together and sample and discuss local and regional brews. Ether at bars, restaurant's or tap rooms. Her home brewing dad raised her well and she likes to sample all kinds of beer and wine.

Thanks from central Michigan

Thats awesome. Does she brew? I know that alot of clubs have members that do not brew. I'd tell her to find a homebrew club and join up. Voila! Local, Regional beer!

Thanks for the reply's. No she is not a home brewer yet but i believe in time she will be. Sunday she called from Fathers Office and said it was great. good food and lots of great beer. She plans on working her way through the list and contacting the Maltose Falcon's. She promised me when I come out to visit it will be the first place she tales the wife and I. Thanks again.
