Golden Road Brewing is a California brewery based in Anaheim, Orange County. Its brewery is located across from Angel Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Angels. Founded by Meg Gill and Tony Yanow in 2011, the company saw tremendous growth. by 2015, they were producing 45,000 barrels of beer making them the largest craft brewery in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. This caught the attention of Anheuser-Busch InBev.
Golden Road Brewing would be sold to Anheuser-Busch InBev in 2015 which has only helped to shed more light on the company and build up the exposure to the brand. Currently Golden Road Brewing has a licensing deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Los Angeles Rams.
The core beers of Golden Road are the Wolf Pup Session IPA, Point the Way IPA, Get Up Offa That Brown and Golden Road Hefeweizen. They also have a line of beers inspired by the street carts that sell fruit. Currently that line has three wheat ales: Mango Cart, Pineapple Cart and Melon Cart.They also have other beers such as the Palisades Pineapple, the Guava Dia and the So-Cal Coconut Wheat. So what did I think about the Bloomin' Blonde?
Coming in at an ABV of 4.8% and an IBU of 18, this is a very light and crisp ale. It almost had a fruity feel to it with a slight bitter back. This is a nice beer to kick back, put your feet up and catch the ballgame. I look forward to coming across some of the other offerings that Golden Road has in their beer portfolio.
For my next post I highlight a curious historical note as to why Bock beers are traditionally linked with billy goats. Keep your 👀👀👀 peeled for it.
Until Then Happy Drinking,
