A Friday night beer with the boys is my happiest hour. We don't stray from the South Bay, and we rarely leave a 5-mile radius, but this time we live it up at LA Ale Works.
The new kid in town has hit the ground running,
The Joose IPA is sweet but strong. Fresh hops and a hard gulp of orange to bring out all 8.4% of it's potency.
For a bolder body, there's a fantastic Centennial IPA that's worth every cent.
For those who hate beer or can't hold their beer, there's always a friendly game of giant Jenga to give your steady hand an advantage.
Just the joose will justify the drive to Hawthorne, and they have food trucks almost every night for those that don't drink hungry.
A New York Style Falafel Pita is pocket of midnight munchies, channeling the tail end of a New York bar crawl. The falafel is fried crispy and light. Red cabbage carries a small sour, and a thinner tahini drapes over the hummus and cucumber.
The Spicy Garlic Fries are bearably barely spicy, and the chopped cilantro shows strong through an oil-based sauce. It's perfect over fresh fries, but I do wish they gave a little more of the good stuff.
When I'm looking for a good time, Hawthorne doesn't come to mind. But that is looking to change. LA Ale Works acts as a shelter for SpaceX, and the brewery houses all sorts of off-work engineers. I hope there's always room for hop-happy hospitalists because I will gladly work for an after-work ale at LA Ale Works.
