Starting Tuesday is Beachwood BBQ's Sour Beer Festival. The festival will run all day all week and feature special breweries on the first few nights (The Bruery, New Belgium, Lost Abbey). Beachwood is the highly acclaimed beer bar in Seal Beach also well received for their top notch food. There will no doubt be some amazing sour beers on tap (think Stone sour fest encore) and I'll try to brave the ridiculous crowds that will pack this tiny joint and surely send a few claustrophobics running for open air.

Good luck with the sours and getting in, hope you enjoy it.
Agree that this is a fabulous place, definitely the number one spot for me when visiting LA this summmer, together with the Bruery and Goat Hill Tavern (damn that they were not opened on Mondays so we could have made a second visit).
Hope you get the chance to try some Cantillon and do a vertical sampling against the Lost Abbey Duck-Duck-Gooze, there actually are some big similarities between them, really interesting to see. They both share the same distinct sourness, simply pure and clean. When guessing during a blind sampling I would think many would say cantillon, great work by Tomme.
