Growlers at Golden Road Brewing, Benefit Din at Il Grano, MORE

GLENDALE— Bring on the growlers! Tony Yanow, owner of super-duper newbie Golden Road Brewing, wants you to drink his beer at home. Growlers, or half-gallon jugs, are available from today until Saturday (from noon to 4PM) and $10 will score you a 32 ounce fill of Point the Way IPA or Golden Road Hefeweizen. If you're really thirsty, you can refill for $6. [EaterWire]

MAR VISTA— Grub Street discovers that Tanaka, a temporary ramen pop-up, has replaced Tamaya inside Mitsuwa market. As it turns out, this is actually a practice run for the recently open Tsujita LA Artisan Noodle, which launched without ramen service. Tanaka's stint inside Mitsuwa expires after October 22, which probably means that Tsujita will commence ramen in the near future. [Grub Street]
