Since I already reviewed last week’s non-gathering, I will just use this opportunity to remind you that this week we will be returning to El Segundo Brewing Company; located at 140 Main Street in El Segundo. If you have never been there, it is directly across the street from Rock & Brews. El Segundo Brewing has some of my favorite IPA’s and they make some great stouts as well; their Pale Ale is a pretty popular one as well. There is free parking kitty-corner to El Segundo Brewing and all street parking is free. Come on down, enjoy a fresh beer and network.
Speaking of networking, Business & Beer got a little free press in DaBelly.com; hopefully we will generate some additional interest. I hope with our planned change of going from weekly to once a month we will be able to bring back the larger groups we had in the past.
Last night Business & Beer was scheduled to meet at The Rockefeller, a gastropub in Hermosa Beach. This was our fifth time going there and the last time we had more than 10 attendees; last night is was just the two of us. We learned a couple of hours ahead of time that there was a good chance the attendance would be low due to things coming up; we just did not realize how low it would be. Anyway, this is the reason we are changing our format to once a month beginning in July. It is difficult to commit to something on a weekly basis; that is one reason I avoid certain networking groups.
We will not let last night stop us, we have locations scheduled through June and they are all quality businesses. Next week, June 6, we will return to El Segundo Brewing Company, a microbrewery that puts out some of the best ales in Southern California. If you enjoy hops, you are going to love El Segundo Brewing. Parking in El Segundo is free and there is a public parking lot on the northwest corner of Main & Franklin. As they are a microbrewery they do not serve food but you are welcome to bring some in. We hope to see you there.
