New/Upcoming Breweries

"Federal Brewing" reportedly got a Lawyer Letter from Federal Bar and rather than spend money litigating, they changed the name to "Progress Brewing". New glassware (glasses and growlers) came in this past week.

I’m skeptical of the plastic fermenters but as always I’ll visit them and see what kind of beer they’re making.

Another one is Escape Craft Brewery in Redlands

Looks like both are ABC licensed, at least according to their facebook pages.

The whole area from 57 out to 215 is pretty barren (in terms of breweries), minus the little clusters in Riverside and Redlands, so hopefully Hamilton turns out good.

Cool info. Thanks for sharing. Hoping to go check them out tomorrow as I’ll be at one of my sites in Whittier, and it’s not too far from the brewery.

Checked out Pacific Plate, Alosta, and Sanctum yesterday before going to a concert at the Glasshouse. Pacific Plate was laughably bad. Alosta was mediocre, but not terrible. Sanctum wasn’t good at all, but I guess not atrocious.

I was by Progress a couple of weeks ago and all their beers were decent -- nothing to die for but if they were in my neighborhood I’d be a local. And if a keg shows up at my local, I’d order one.

Sad to hear about the others -- I was hoping to manage a stop at Pacific Plate and/or Alosta last week but work interfered. I hate when that happens.

I’m highly pleased that two people besides myself and Bobby have posted in this thread. I was anticipating this being a public version of a private message thread between us.

We’ll see what happens but I might make joeneugs stop at Pacific Plate on the way to Stuffed Sandwich and 38 Degrees this Wednesday, in case you want to meet up.

I moved from Pasadena right around the time Haven was opening off Delacey Ave, anyone been there?

Their last couple hoppy beers that I’ve had (Azaaca single hop and SoCal Distortion) were both solid. Seem to be getting better.
