LA Vegan Beer Fest #2!

The Second Annual LA Vegan Beer Fest at The Roxy on the Sunset Strip was SOOO much fun! If you missed it then... I don't know what to tell you. Great beer, ALL vegan food, good bands, friendly attendees. The only negative was a got sunburned, meh. I went with fellow American Hot Pants blogmate @HelloDianaMarie. We got there early (VIP.. you know..) and stayed until the end so there was plenty of time for eating and drinking. Sadly we didn't get to try all of the food (Veg-It-Up, Luscious Organic Desserts, Franken's, Fresh Fries or Mandoline Grill) and I am probably missing a lot of the beers, but there were so many! Also check out my recap of last years LAVBF. Enjoy!

VIP Lounge -

In the VIP section they have 2 or 3 beers they don't offer outside.

The glasses were different (I liked last years better).

After the fest we went to Cinespia at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery to watch the Warriors! We grabbed a bag of kettle corn from Mad Kettler to snack on during the movie. smart.

Cruzer Pizza

This is the first time I have been to Cruzer Pizza since they went 100% vegan AND I work down the street (for shame). After tonight I will definitely make it over there more often! It's also great they offer gluten free so I can convince my boss, who can't have wheat, to order in Cruzers for lunch ;) Photos by @tommycymbals (who isn't vegan or vegetarian & just tweeted "I think I can get used to the whole meatless meat pizza action." HOORAY!)

coLAboration Beer Garden #2!

Had a great time at the first coLAboration Beer Garden (check out last post here) so I brought my good friend Diana this time (another veggie babe who is into beer!) We arrived a little before 3 which was kinda late since it started at noon, but we did manage to stick around until 7.
