I've heard of that german place too but never been. I used to work in DTLA and the bars is what I miss most.
Mission Street and Boatswain or the Label names but they both make a variety of brown ales, ipa's and hefeweizens. They all cost $2 for a 22 ouncer bottle or $6 a 6-pack I believe. This top picture has some of the other beers at trader joes. For $3.50 a 6-pack, I like to stock my fridge up with Simpler Times and Name Tag. That's cheaper than Coors/Budweiser.
Know this is replying to a month old post, but I just got lured back to this thread today and saw this... Trader Joe's has Mission St? I have a TJ's about two blocks from my place. I was gifted a mix and match sixer of "reignbeers" last Christmas and it had a Mission St. Hefe in it, one of the best beers I'd had in awhile but I've never found it anywhere again in the Midwest... Think a walk is in order this evening now that I'm finally off the meds from my hand surgery.
Where did you find that? First time I saw it was on tap at the Queens of the Stone Age show at the Gibson last month. Had never heard of it. Tried a sample, but I think the barkeep was off that day. Opted for the Golden Road instead. Family's from Chicago so always keen to know anything coming from the midwest.
<snip> Castaway IPA from Kona Brew Co. Real strong and smooth tasting IPA. Found a copy cat recipe. Wish me luck! <snip>
Discovered this stuff a couple of months ago at a family party; consider me hooked (Kona's 'Big Wave' is good, too; not a huge fan of their 'Longboard' blend, though). According to their website, they've got a wheat/citrus beer that's only available in Hawaii. Kinda' makes me want to take a cruise over there...
I was just in Oahu. I'm a fan of their beers too. I had a brown ale by then that was on tap at a bar. Never seen that one bottled either. It was solid beer. I'm personally a big fan of Longboard. I also just stocked my fridge with their variety pack.
I still love chainbreaker white ipa. If you haven't had it, give it a try! It's similar to magic hat#9 but I prefer the chainbreaker.

Nice! Thanks for the rec; I'll try the Chainbreak if I can get ahold of it...do you know offhand if it's sold in general stores, or is it BevMo/specialty-only...?
Enjoying one of these right now...
Pizza Port has become one of my favorite breweries. Everything they brew is good. Digging their Mongo Dbl IPA.
