Description
Founded in 2018, Ogopogo Brewing is San Gabriel’s first craft brewery. Brewer-Owners Jason De La Torre and Ryan Edell are veterans of the Southern California brewing industry (Mason Aleworks, Saint Archer, Golden Road), and have a fondness for folklore, mythology, and palindromes. The beers are named for legendary creatures and figures from around the world, with the style of beer and/or ingredients used often linked through the country of origin. In their first year of operations, they were awarded a silver medal in the Belgian Witbier category at the 2019 Great American Beer Festival for Boeman Belgian White Ale and received the same medal again in 2020.

Pour is a fizzy gold with not much of a head. Aroma is an ok spice and orange peel. Flavor is again a just ok spice and orange peel. Finish is a bit watery and again this is carbonated like a soda. Barely decent.

On tap as a guest beer at OB Brewing in Ocean Beach. Pours massively hazy yellow with full white head that sustains. Beautiful aroma of sauvignon blanc and slight citrus. Flavor follows aroma and was the best beer from this stop on the SD beer tour.
