From Tom Petty and Van Halen to Guns N’ Roses and AC/DC, we’re pairing ten rock songs with the beers that belong beside them. Plus, with Sammy Hagar’s Birthday Bash coming up in October, the Red Rocker gets a little extra love—because he’s Sammy, and really, what other reason do we need? Football is back, Southern California is hot, the beer is cold, and Life of Beer is ready to turn it up.
The US Open of Surfing returns to Huntington Beach, bringing world-class surfers, beach vibes, and unforgettable summer energy. Here’s who I’m watching this year, along with the best beers to sip while soaking up one of Southern California’s favorite summer traditions.
Celebrate the Fourth of July weekend at Finney’s Crafthouse in Oceanside, where Happy Hour, craft beer, delicious food, and World Cup excitement create the perfect place to relax with family and friends.
Experience one of Southern California’s most unique Sunday traditions at Kobe Steakhouse in Seal Beach. Enjoy an incredible champagne brunch, fresh sushi, live Beatles music spanning every era, and exceptional service that makes every visit unforgettable.
Every Fourth of July deserves a great beer. From Hazy Sculpin and Space Dust to Green Cheek, Ride On, and Por Favor, here are five IPAs worth trying—plus why I lovingly call these delicious hop bombs my “frenemies.” Cheers to America’s 250th birthday!
