Business & Beer – For good networking with good beer
Our next Business & Beer will be Thursday, April 14 at Absolution Brewing Company in Torrance from 6:00-8:00 PM. If you have not been to Absolution in the past four months, you will not recognize it as they have an entirely new and massive brewhouse in place of their original equipment. They have been turning out some very tasty brews with it, so gather up some business cards and join us for some networking and beer. Absolution Brewing Company is located at 2878 Columbia Street in Torrance. Continue reading
Business & Beer returned to The Dudes’ Brewing Company in Torrance for their February gathering and while the group may have been small, it certainly did not prevent business being done while enjoying some of The Dudes’ latest brews.
As it turned out, it was a first time attendance for everyone there except for Tanya and myself; but those that did attend were able to enjoy the company of The Dudes’ Master Brewer, Alex Rabe as he joined us for a while to talk about his vision for The Dudes’ while making a couple business connections at the same time.
The next Business & Beer will be held Thursday, March 10 from 6:00-8:00 PM at the King Harbor Brewing Company tasting room located at their production brewery on 182nd Street in Redondo Beach. They have expanded their beer selection pretty significantly, so if you have not been there lately come see what has changed. Continue reading
Enjoying a flight of HopSaint brews
The February gathering of Business & Beer will be held February 11 at The Dudes’ Brewing Company from 6:00 until 8:00 PM. If you have not been to The Dudes’ recently, you just haven’t been. I attended an event last week for a collaboration release they did with KLOS radio. The Dudes’ has a new Master Brewer and Head Brewer and I have to say that their Bohemian Hopsody may be the best beer that has ever come out of that brewery. They have a new sessionable black IPA that was quite tasty as well. I personally look forward to trying more of the new brews coming out of The Dudes’. As a side note, The Dudes’ will be hosting their Trivia Night on the same day. It begins at 8:00 PM which is when Business & beer ends so feel free to stick around and enjoy the fun while exercising your brain. If we have enough people stick around, perhaps we will have a Business & Beer team. Continue reading
Business & Beer ended 2015 with another visit to the Hermosa Beach brewpub, The Brewery at Abigaile. We had a nice little group join us and most attendees were able to try brews from Abigaile’s new brewer, Paul Papantonio for the first time. I have to say that personally, I have enjoyed what I have tried by Papantonio so far and I look forward to trying what he comes out with in 2016.
In 2015 we visited a total of seven different production brewery tasting rooms and one brewpub. Some of the breweries had significant changes in the past year, including El Segundo Brewing Company’s bigger and better tasting room and Strand Brewing Company moving to an entirely new location.
To a great 2016
While most of the locations were only visited once in 2015, we should see the addition of up to three more tasting rooms and one brewpub in the Business & Beer rotation, meaning everyone except one will get one visit in 2016. In fact, we will begin 2016 at Torrance’s newest craft beer destination, HopSaint Brewing Company in Torrance on Thursday, January 14 from 6:00-8:00 PM. Continue reading
For the second month in a row, the Business & Beer networking group has met at a new tasting room; in October we visited El Segundo Brewing Company’s (ESBC) new tasting room, which was just moved to the other side of ESBC’s prior tasting room which increased their space by 200% or something. In December we visited Strand Brewing Company, who had no room to expand; so they moved. The new location is almost cavernous with their new 36,000 square-foot facility. We had a pretty nice turnout and everyone seemed to enjoy the new surroundings; you will want to visit Strand now that they are getting settled in.
Our December gathering of Business & Beer will be held at The Brewery at Abigaile in Hermosa Beach. The last couple of times we have met there we have had some fun groups, Abigaile is quickly turning into a crowd favorite. They have a new brewer now and what I have tried has been great; you know their food is fantastic. We will meet Thursday, December 10 from 6:00-8:00 PM. Just so you are aware, they do have underground parking. The Brewery at Abigaile is located at 1301 Manhattan Avenue in Hermosa Beach.
