SUNDAY, NOV. 3

It’s been two years since Harmony and Levi Fried opened Long Beach Beer Lab, their small manufacturing brewery “dedicated to fermentation-forward beverages,” in the heart of the Wrigley neighborhood.

Today, they’re hosting their second anniversary party, inviting anyone with a hankering for hops and an appetite for fresh, hand-made bread (from scratch) to stop by and celebrate their achievement. In addition to their listed selections, the brewery will be offering 16 guest tap creations and releasing 100 cans of their new Double Dreamsicle IPA, which stands at 8.9% abv and features double the orange and vanilla flavor, and hops.

Another great thing: The party lasts from opening until close, but if you stop by between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m. you can sip on a sour and tap your foot to the acoustic tunes of cover band Rosewood, who play the timeless hits of the rockin’ 60s & nostalgic early 70s, with a smattering of choice tunes from the 80s & 90s.

Giving us a moment’s pause: Their selection of bread, pizza, appetizers and baked desserts (with a plethora of vegan-friendly options), is reason enough to stop by. So stop by.

The Long Beach Beer Lab 2nd Anniversary Party is a 21+ all-day event from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. No need to RSVP, but for more information, click here. The Long Beach Beer Lab is located at 518 W. Willow St.
