Our August gathering of Business & Beer will be held at The Dudes’ Brewing Company on August 14 at 6:00 PM. The Dudes’ Brewing Company is located at 1840 W. 208th Street in Torrance. If you have heard that The Dudes’ do not have a tasting room yet, you heard right. The Dudes’ were granted a Conditional Use Permit back in May and are slowly working their way to making their tasting room a reality. I guess one might say that our Business & Beer gathering will be a soft soft-open for them. While I am not entirely sure how many beer options they will have available this should be a fun gathering, especially for those of you that have yet to visit the brewery itself. It is a very impressive setup; I think you will enjoy yourself. Judging by the responses we have received thus far, this should be a very well-attended event. We hope you can join us.

The June 2014 gathering of Business & Beer networking group was held June 12 at El Segundo Brewing Company (ESBC), a production brewery located in El Segundo, California. Since El Segundo Brewing is the furthest away from most Business & Beer regulars it typically has the smallest turnouts but this particular gathering had a very respectable turnout with people coming from as far away as the San Fernando Valley. ESBC had been brewing and bottling for an upcoming event so there was a wide selection of brews available for sampling from their Citra Pale Ale to their Standard Crude Imperial Stout; there was virtually something for everybody. Thanks to El Segundo Brewing for hosting our event and keeping the brews flowing; and thanks to everyone that made it out. We always enjoy seeing you and hope to see you again soon. All the photos from the event can be found on CraftBeerGuy.com.
Our next meetup of Business & Beer will be held at Strand Brewing Company in Torrance on July 10 at 6:00 PM. Strand Brewing Company is the oldest production brewery in the South Bay and have been supporters of Business & Beer since its inception two years ago. It is hard to believe that our July meeting marks two years that we have been doing this. It has definitely been an interesting time and we have met a lot of very nice people, had some great beers and have done business and helped set up many business connections. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next two years. You can find the link for more details about the July gathering of Business & Beer on the front page. You can also follow us on Facebook or sign up to our mailing list. Continue reading
Business & Beer at Smog City Brewing
Our June meeting of Business & Beer will be held at El Segundo Brewing Company on June 12 from 6:00-8:00 PM. El Segundo Brewing Company is one of the more hop centric craft breweries in the South Bay but they have been expanding their brewing horizons and now have such brews as their Station No.1, a malty red ale that is really quite delicious. If you have never visited El Segundo Brewing Company I highly recommend getting a flight so you can try a little of everything before deciding what your favorite is. El Segundo Brewing Company is located at 140 Main Street in El Segundo. You can find all relevant details at http://businessnbeer.com/el-segundo-brewing-company-june-12/.
Remember, Business & Beer is the informal business networking group with no rules such as mandatory meetings or dues. You do not need a special invitation to bring your friends, everyone is welcome. Bring your business cards and a willingness to network, we will provide the people to talk to as well as access to some great local brews. You can see all the photos from our May gathering at Smog City Brewing on CraftBeerGuy.com.
On April 10 the Business & Beer networking group returned to Torrance production brewery, Monkish Brewing Company. Monkish Brewing Company is a local microbrewery that specializes in Belgian style ales; it also happens to be Tanya’s favorite local craft brewery, and since it was her birthday it made sense to hold our April gathering there. The fact that Vella Pizza was on hand with their mobile brick oven pretty much sealed the deal for her. We had a nice turnout with quite a few first time attendees joining us. One thing is for certain; Monkish is sure a lot busier these days than when we first started bringing Business & Beer there two years ago. It is good to see our local craft beer scene doing so well.
The May gathering of Business & Beer will be held May 8 at Smog City Brewing Company in Torrance. Smog City Brewing is a production brewery with an extremely wide variety of craft beers available. I would not be over-stating it to suggest that they pretty much have every style of beer you can think of covered; from Pilsners to barrel aged porters and about everything in-between. If you have not been to Smog City lately I am positive they have something you have yet to try. As they are a tasting room, they do not serve food but you are welcome to bring your own or have something delivered. Continue reading
