Check Out The Taplist at 'The Rare Experience,' A Festival For Craft Beer Snobs
Anthony Bourdain recently gave an interview saying he couldn't care less about the craft beer scene, but if you disagree, then you might want to check out The Rare Experience, a beer festival specifically targeted to self-described beer geeks. The Rare Experience takes place on the afternoon of November 19 at Stout Burger & Beers' Studio City location. They've got a huge list of specialty beers, including many unique sours and barrel-aged brews, from the likes of Lost Abbey, Modern Times, Phantom Carriage and Bell's. You can get 10 draft beer tickets for $50. For $70, you will get 12 draft beer tickets, 3 bottle tickets and an earlier entrance time (you'll get to arrive an hour earlier).

As Editor-in-Chief of our newsroom, I’m extremely proud of the work our top-notch journalists are doing here at LAist. We’re doing more hard-hitting watchdog journalism than ever before — powerful reporting on the economy, elections, climate and the homelessness crisis that is making a difference in your lives. At the same time, it’s never been more difficult to maintain a paywall-free, independent news source that informs, inspires, and engages everyone.
Simply put, we cannot do this essential work without your help. Federal funding for public media has been clawed back by Congress and that means LAist has lost $3.4 million in federal funding over the next two years. So we’re asking for your help. LAist has been there for you and we’re asking you to be here for us.
We rely on donations from readers like you to stay independent, which keeps our nonprofit newsroom strong and accountable to you.
No matter where you stand on the political spectrum, press freedom is at the core of keeping our nation free and fair. And as the landscape of free press changes, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust, but the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news from our community.
Please take action today to support your trusted source for local news with a donation that makes sense for your budget.
Thank you for your generous support and believing in independent news.
