Many people have tons of questions about beer. This takes finding out those answers to a completely different level!

All You Need To Do To Get Your Beer Questions Answered Is: 

An LA tour guide named Hal Mooney stumbled upon a brilliant idea: instead of limiting his encyclopedic knowledge to ticketed tourists, why not ship it out on demand to any old suds-guzzling fool with a phone? The Craft Beer Hotline was born.

Naturally, we Thrillist beer nerds just had to hear that hotline bling. So I dialed, and within four or five rings, Hal picked up.

“My wife and I run the LA Beer Hop, which is a brewery tour company in Los Angeles and we’ve been hanging out, tasting beers, and you know, talking about beer all day for about four years,” he told me. “I guess we just wanted to do that for people who aren’t on our bus.”

The concept is simple. Pick up the phone, dial 1-855-LA-BEERS  and either Hal or his lovely wife will pick up the phone, primed and ready to tackle whatever lingering question is bouncing around your fuzzy brain. Think a live-action Google, if Google only linked to random beer info.

“Our focus is on LA beer specifically but I'm also a Certified Cicerone so I know a lot about beer history, beer pairings, beer service, pouring, cleanliness — all of it,” Hal explained. “We can answer just about anything.”

During the hotline’s initial soft roll-out, Hal told me that he and his wife Cindy mostly fielded calls from trolling friends and family members under various pseudonyms. Now that they’ve officially launched to the public, however, the lines are starting to light up like a frat boy at a keg party.

“It's kind of blown up over the past two days,” marveled the craft beer wizard. “We were getting a couple an hour yesterday afternoon, and then a few more than that at night when it seemed like people were out drinking and wanting to talk. That was pretty fun, actually, because if they're drinking, you know, I might be drinking, too. They might get a loose operator on the line.”

What do you say to people who claim to not like beer?
There's no such thing as a person who doesn't like beer, it's just a person who hasn't met the right beer yet.

Finished!
