New Smog City Brew! Quercus Circus

Franklin & Company has developed a great relationship with the family at Smog City and are very lucky to be in their inner circle because they just dropped off today their Belgian Blonde called Quercus Circus and Franklin & Company became the first to tap it! Below is a brief story of how this unique amazing beer came about. Stop by soon and try it before it dissapears. Only 10 1/6 barrel kegs went out in Los Angeles.

Angel City Tasting!



This Wednesday, July 18th at 8PM our good friends at Angel City Brewery will be hosting a beer education and tasting night at Franklin & Company Tavern! Aside from pouring their Angel City Test Batch "B" they will also have some keychains and swag for prizes on their wheel (people can spin the wheel and win anything from a high five to a pint glass) as well as ingredients they use in the beer for customers to see, smell, taste, etc… This is a great chance to meet and greet with Los Angeles's newest craft brewery! For the beer geeks, Rumor has it that the founders of Alchemy & Science, the craft beer collaboration that has purchased Angel City Brewery led by Alan Newman & Stacey Steinmetz might be in attendance.

Martian Winemaker Dinner

This will be the first winemaker dinner Franklin & Company has arranged and there is no better winemaker to kick it off then Michael Roth, formerly of Demetria Wines and now with Martian Wines out of Los Alamos, California.  The Martian wines, a Grenache Noir, Grenache Rose and an Albarino have been on the tasting list for the past month and have been very well recicved. The winemaker dinner will be open first to the Oaks Gourmet Raisin Hell Wine Club and then to the general public. Michael's passion for proletarian winemaking and dedication to biodynamic farming makes him a wealth of information and interesting to hear speak. The meal will be four wines paired with a four course meal for $65 per person with introductions by Michael Roth and Chef Jared Combs of Franklin & Company Tavern on Monday, July 23rd at 7PM.  The menu for the evening is in the works and will be posted online shortly.
