 Downtown Los Angeles based advertising agency, Quantasy, recently held an intimate panel discussion called "Beers & Banter." Cerveceria Mundial co-founder and CEO, Julio Trejo was a panel guest alongside: SoCal Cerveceros Homebrew Club president, Ray Ricky Rivera (also VP of Operations for CM), Crowns & Hops CEO, Beny Ashburn and Eagle Rock Brewery co-founder, Jeremy Raub. The panel gave insight on their respective business and how each navigate the fast changing beer industry. Other topics discussed were the influx of diversity within craft beer, the challenges of building a beer brand and the future of beer in Los Angeles. The panel fielded questions from the audience asking about various things from homebrewing kombucha and beer to strategies for growth and future business plans. The Quantasy staff was a diverse audience of about 50 creatives led by panel moderator Carlos Aguilar. The group was eager to taste the delicious beers on hand and we were happy to share! Eagle Rock Brewery brought a few can selections including: Populist IPA (7% abv), Manifesto Belgian style witbier (5.7% abv), Rosé Gosé vegan kettle sour (4.5%). Also on hand was the award winning homebrew, Botas Blancas, by Los Barbones Cerveceria. The Botas Blancas is a Belgian style witbier brewed with pomelo zest and has quickly become a fan favorite. It took Gold at the San Diego Regionals for the 2019 National Homebrew Competition. Botas Blancas has a total of 7 homebrew awards including 1st place and Best of Show Belgian at the 2019 Romancing The Beer homebrew competition. Also pouring was a Belgian dark and "Lamberto XXVIII" Imperial Porter coming in at 11.9% (pictured below). And of course we had cold cans of CM's flagship QPA on hand! Big thanks to the Quantasy family for having us all out and special thanks to Hurshini Lee and Carlos Aguilar for putting it all together.
