L.A.’s newest craft beer is made with native plants and blooms: Here’s how to try it

Monarch butterfly populations are endangered, to the point that the 1.2 million Western monarchs counted in 1997 plummeted to fewer than 2,000 by 2020. Here are ways we can help them survive.

It was the foundation’s nursery sales manager, Flora Ito, a craft beer fan and Eagle Rock Brewery regular, who proposed theTheodore Payne was looking for a unique way to celebrate its 60th anniversary in 2020, and during a brainstorming meeting, Ito suggested making a beer from native plants. “They said, OK, who knows a brewery?’" Ito recalled, “so I raised my hand again and said, ‘There’s this local brewery that really supports the community ... and I’m a frequent customer.

When approached, Eagle Rock Brewery’s Jeremy Raub was instantly interested. Raub and his fellow owners — wife Ting Su and father Steven Raub — had already started a Day Trip Series of beers that celebrate outdoor wonders around L.A. The brown ale 2 North heads into the San Gabriel Mountains, and a session IPA, Mosaic Canyon, is named after the famous canyon in Death Valley, so a beer featuring L.A.'s native flora fit right in.

Raub and his fellow brewers made a couple of trips to the Theodore Payne Foundation’s nursery in Sun Valley, touring its native plant demonstration gardens and the growing sheds where seeds and seedlings are produced for habitat restoration in Southern California as well as sales to landscapers and yard owners. Raub and his crew spent a few hours sniffing and tasting various plants and gave the foundation staff some ideas about what flavors work well together.

The foundation’s experts winnowed their choices to 15 aromatic plants and sent them to Raub and his crew, who narrowed their choices to three.
