Starting Sept. 6 -11, Beachwood BBQ Seal Beach will host a weeklong tribute to some of the best sour beers available. Over the course of the week we will have over 70 different sour beers on draft, most of which we’ve been cellaring for some time. Throughout the week we will pay tribute to over 30 different breweries with special nights devoted specifically to three breweries.

  • Wednesday Sept. 7th will be New Belgium Brewing night starting at 6pm. Eric Salazar will be on hand to talk about the brews and hang out. We’ll also have specially paired menu items throughout the evening.

There will be at least 22 sour beers on tap at any given time and you can keep up to date on what’s being poured by checking out the HopCam . Some of the other sour beers we’ll have on hand will include vintage kegs from Cantillion, Jolly Pumpkin, Bear Republic, Avery, Lost Abbey, Russian River, Deschutes, Allagash, Craftsman, Drie Fonteinen, and many more surprises to come.

The master list of sours and the special menu items will be posted at the event and T-shirts will be available! We will be offering beer pours at 5.5 oz. and 10 oz., so you can enjoy as many sours as your acid reflux can tolerate.

This week long event has been thoughtfully compiled and thoroughly researched by Gabe, Kyle and Justin.

THE HUNGER GAMES – 2011 MTV Video Music Awards

Here’s the official press release from Music Television:

New York, NY (August 23, 2011) – MTV today revealed that ravenous fans of THE HUNGER GAMES need not look further than the “2011 MTV Video Music Awards” for an exclusive first glimpse at the film that will be introduced by the film’s star Jennifer Lawrence (WINTER’S BONE, X MEN FIRST CLASS). The “2011 MTV Video Music Awards” will air live from Nokia Theater L.A. Live in Los Angeles on Sunday, August 28, 2011 at 9PM (Live ET/Tape delayed PT.)

Set in a post-apocalyptic world in the country of Panem where North America once existed, THE HUNGER GAMES follows the quest of “Tributes” – one teenage boy and girl chosen from each of the country’s twelve districts – as they compete in the Hunger Games. Part twisted entertainment, part government intimidation tactic, the Hunger Games are a nationally televised event in which “Tributes” must fight with one another until one survivor remains.

Pitted against highly-trained Tributes who have prepared for the Hunger Games their entire lives, the main character, Katniss, is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts as well as the mentorship of drunken former victor Haymitch Abernathy. If she’s ever to return home to District 12, Katniss must make impossible choices in the arena that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. Lionsgate will release the film on March 23, 2012.
