Are you a bonafide beer geek? Well then, we have some news for you: The third annual L.A. Craft Beer Crawl is coming back to Downtown L.A. Saturday, August 18th. Over 50 craft beers will be poured for the sampling at Cedd Moses' bars, which include Casey's, Cole's, Seven Grand, Las Perlas, Caña, Broadway Bar, Tony's Saloon, and the Golden Gopher. The event is a collaboration between Moses, Hallie Beaune, and Christina Perozzi. Beaune and Perozzi, better known to the community as the Beer Chicks, will be on hand for various activities throughout the day. They have been consultants on Moses' bars since last August.
The crawl will feature some of the top craft and artisanal brewers in the country, all within stumbling distance of each other. Breweries so far include:
