The “Love Handles” department in Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine® is devoted to great beer bars. Here are the three beer bars that we explored in Issue 20 (August/September 2017).
Mikkeller Bar DTLA (Los Angeles, California)
This L.A. outpost of international superstar brewer Mikkel Borg Bjergsø’s namesake beer bars reproduces his formula for a great beer destination.
WHAT IT IS: L.A.’s downtown used to be a rundown no-go zone, and one of its most ambitious beer bars used to be a tire shop. Things change, and the now vibrant and bustling downtown L.A. is home to a veritable paradise for beer lovers. Mikkeller Bar DTLA (pictured at top) serves a selection of Mikkeller’s San Diego–brewed offerings alongside hard-to-find imports and plenty of local favorites.
