Green,
gold and glorious – all hail the avocado!
And to celebrate this noble fruit in style Angel City Brewery created its
Avocado Ale! And to mark this occasion
Angel City Brewery will be having its 3rd Annual Avocado Festival on this Sunday
August 9, 12-8 pm.
“Avocado
Ale and Avocado Fest have come to be a summer staple for us,” said Angel City’s
Melissa Corbin. “Avocado is the state
fruit and a California commodity – and frankly one of our favorite foods. Using it as the base of a beer recipe seemed
like a natural idea. The resulting ale
is delicious and we have a great time both making it and celebrating it.”
Beyond
the beer, Angel City has a full lineup of events for the day, including:
▪ Avocado Ale food pairings by The Surfer
Taco, Brewwings, Si Paletas & The Green Truck
▪ Brewer-led tours with a focus on the
Avocado Ale brewing process
▪ Live chalk art
▪ Specialty flight bars
▪ Avocado Bazaar presented by Raven
Gypsies
▪ Avocado Amusements, including avocado
corn hole and an avocado hunt
▪ Avocado photo booth
▪ Gallery exhibit by PJ Andrews
▪ Live music in their beer hall by the
likes of Michelle E. Buzz, Team Vendetta, Angeles Flight, Fungame, Seaghouls,
Denmantau, The Bloodhounds
The
21+ event, which runs from 12-8pm, will benefit Food Forward, a local
non-profit whose mission is to rescue fresh, local produce that would otherwise
go to waste, and provide it to people in need, while inspiring others to do the
same. $1 from every pint of Avocado Ale
sold at the event between 12-8pm will be tallied up by their handy cash
register and donated to Food Forward.
Here's to life being delicious and full of avocados!
