Los Angeles is a tough town to navigate if you want to build a brewery from scratch.  And to try to do it on the Westside would seem close to crazy considering the cost of a large amount of space would cost. But according to the L.A. Eater, “someone” is trying to start one up in Santa Monica.  That would be big news and a large step forward for a brewery to open there. When/If more news develops, you will here it here.

The expansive, new area within Universal Studios will be anchored by the mega-attraction, The Simpsons Ride, and will allow guests to enter the world of The Simpsons like never before. It will be the only place in the world where guests can walk the streets of Springfield. It will include a brand-new outdoor attraction, places and foods pulled right from the show and two new Simpsons characters who will make their debut with the new area – Krusty the Clown and Sideshow Bob. And yes – there will be Duff Beer, brewed exclusively for Universal Orlando. More >> TouringPlans.com.

Crooked Stave owner Chad Yakobson, who formed his distributorship in Colorado to handle his beers and 12 Percent’s, will be the only company to have them here; none of 12 Percent’s breweries has sold beer in Colorado before. More >> Cafe Society.

The result is a beer with plenty of citrus oomph and a multi-faceted woody character unlike anything we’ve ever tasted. When it was time to remove the bats from the tank, several members of the San Diego Padres came over from PETCO Park to do the honors.

Here’s an interesting word I’ve been seeing around the internet: Cenosillicaphobia. According to some sources, the Fact-Archive and the Urban Dictionary, the word means “the fear of an empty glass,” as “commonly experienced by drinkers.” Although I can’t find it listed in any of my regular dictionaries, it seems to fit at least. It’s not in either of my two unabridged ones, including the Webster’s International 2nd edition, which my librarian sister-in-laws tells me is the gold standard. The closest word in my O.E.D. is “cenotaph,” which means “empty tomb.” So along with “sillica” for glass, the word “cenosillicaphobia” seems to fit the meaning, the “fear of an empty glass.” So look at the photo below. If seeing the beer glass empty causes you to shudder involuntarily, you probably have cenosillicaphobia. Luckily, a cure is as close as the nearest keg, can or bottle.

Hi. I’m Ben, one of the co-founders of West Sixth, the company sued this week by Magic Hat. I’ve been keeping an eye on some of the other posts, and noticed that there’s been some misinformation going around. I thought you all might like to ask some questions. If so, I’m happy to answer anything I can, although there are a few areas I can’t likely go into. AMA >> Reddit.

On Tuesday night, Cerveceria Costa Rica (owners of Magic Hat IP) posted 4 conditions to outline a way to settle our differences. On Wednesday morning, we accepted all 4 conditions and showed them 4 different new options for our logo. All they had to do was select one of them.But it’s been more than 24 hours, and we still haven’t had a response to our offer. More >> West Sixth blog.
