Business & Beer returned to Sophie’s Place last week. Sophie’s Place is a gastropub in the Riviera Village section of Redondo Beach with eight rotating taps and about 50 different craft beers available in bottles and cans. They have a very nice selection of hard to find options available. They also have a great food menu with their date salad and lamb burgers being a couple favorites. We had another small turnout for whatever reason, and since the Phantom Carriage “Muis” Release Celebration was being held over at Naja’s Place, we all headed over there. Unfortunately, there was a major power outage in that part of Redondo Beach so there was no power and no beer was being poured until after power was restored. I waited around and took some photos; they had a nice group there, but had to leave before power was eventually restored.
This week, June 27 we will be returning to the home of Belgian styled ales in Torrance, Monkish Brewing Company. Monkish Brewing is located at 20311 South Western Avenue in Torrance. If this is your first visit to Monkish, it is a microbrewery that currently has about 11 different ales currently on tap. From lagers to quads, if you enjoy Belgian style ales, you will enjoy Monkish Brewing Company. As they are a microbrewery, they do not serve food but you are more than welcome to bring food or order in. Their tasting room is in an industrial park on the west side of Western, just south of Del Amo (the driveway past the hamburger stand). Thursday will mark the end of our weekly meetups and the beginning of visiting brewpubs and microbreweries only. Since we will be meeting once a month only, the second Thursday of the month, this would be a good time to get on our mailing list or Like Us on Facebook to ensure you are kept in the loop for upcoming events.

On June 13, Business & Beer returned to 1321 Downtown Taproom Bistro, a gastropub located in old Torrance. It was another smaller than expected/desired turnout, but there is a lot of things going on this time of year with graduations and some people traveling. Even though there were just a few of us, we had a good time and enjoyed conversing along with the food and craft beers. Thanks you to the staff of “The Taproom” for hosting our event.
Thursday June 20 we will bring Business & Beer back to Sophie’s Place, a gastropub located in the Riviera Village portion of Redondo Beach at 1708 S. Catalina. They have 8 craft beers on tap and about 50 available in cans or bottles. On top of that they have a very good food menu. We usually have a pretty nice turnout at Sophie’s and since this will be the last official Business & Beer there due to our change in formats please consider stopping by if for no other reason than to thank them for their support.
Since we are changing our format beginning in July, if you are not on our mailing list or following us on Facebook you should do one or the other as there will soon be no more weekly reminders; they will be monthly. Continue reading

Last week Business & Beer returned to El Segundo’s source for the finest, freshest ales in the city, El Segundo Brewing Company (ESBC). Since most of our attendees live or work in the Torrance/Redondo Beach area, El Segundo is the northernmost microbrewery that we currently visit. Even though we had to compete with travel, graduations, illness and the LA Kings game, we had a pretty decent turnout. One consistent thing about our visits to ESBC is that we inevitably are approached by other visitors that want to learn more about what we are all about; this held true last week as well. As usual, El Segundo Brewing provided discounts to Business & Beer attendees, so if you need an excuse to join us there, now you have one. Thank you to Travis and Brett for the great service.
This week we will be returning to 1321 Downtown Taproom Bistro, a gastropub located in downtown Torrance. There is plenty of free parking on the streets and the parking structure on the other side of Sartori. If you have not visited the 1321 Taproom lately, they have changed a lot, from their food menu to their craft beer offerings. They have changed a lot over the past year or two; bring your business cards and make it a tax write-off. We start at 6:00 PM and they are located at 1321 Sartori in Torrance; we hope to see you there. Continue reading
