Since my home port of call is near Father’s Office, The Library Ale House and The Pint to name a few, I do not often travel east of the 405. Now thought I have reason to. The Surly Goat has opened. It is a wonderful bar with 36 taps and quiet the bottle selection. I do enjoy the ‘On Deck’ part of the bier selection. It gives one reason to hang out until a selection moves up to a tap. Pay attention when looking for this venue as of todays blogging there are no markings on the gray building. It is located at 7929 Santa Monica Boulevard
West Hollywood, CA 90046-5107. The phone number is: (323) 650-4628.
Attending what turned out to be the Opening Day, my partner in Bier Drinking and I found street parking and went inside. My first beer was made just for the Surly Goat. It is from The Speakeasy Brewery entitled:
Public Enemy Pilsner
Very tasty,good colouring, eye catchy and nice pilsner flavour.

My two other selections were
a Sour from The Brewery and Sculpin from Ballast Point Brewery.
So you see it is quiet the place to go.
Stayed tuned as soon a festival in La Mirada will be blogged about!
Thanks for taking the time to read this blog!.
