King Harbor Brewing hosts October Business & Beer

Business & Beer returned to Redondo Beach and King Harbor Brewing Company for our October gathering on Thursday, October 9. It was our first return to King Harbor since they had their soft open at our February meeting. In those eight months they have come up with a few more options with their beer selection although not all were available at our gathering. It seems that some of their brews have become so popular that it is gone almost as fast as it is kegged; which is a good thing for King Harbor Brewing. At our gathering The Quest with Mosaic Hops, California Saison, Abel Brown and The Swirly were made available.

We had a very nice turn out with a nice mix of regulars and first time attendees; and Phil and Deborah were kind enough to bring a few pizzas along for those that had not had an opportunity to eat. Since it was a Thursday, it was “Bring Your Own Beer Mug” night several attendees took advantage of being able to bring in their favorite mug and had them filled at the standard prices. The winner of the free growler and fill has not been announced yet, so if you brought your own mug watch the King Harbor Brewing Facebook page for the announcement.

The November gathering of Business & Beer will be held Thursday, November 13 at Absolution Brewing Company in Torrance; like all of our gatherings the event runs from 6:00-8:00 PM. We last visited Absolution Brewing back in March when they had only been open for about two weeks. If that was the last time you went there you are going to notice a lot of changes. From the number of brews and new styles available to the seating arrangements. There has been a lot of growth and changes at Absolution over the last several months. We hope you can join us.

If you live or work in the South Bay area and networking is important to you or is part of your job description you should check out BusinessNBeer.com. This is arguably the South Bay’s most fun and relaxed business networking group. We meet on the second Thursday of every month at a different production brewery or brewpub in the South Bay area. With all the additions to the craft beer scene recently, there is a good chance you have not had a chance to visit some of them. This is your chance and you might even do some business. Events are scheduled from 6:00-8:00 PM so you do not have to rush to work; and you can bring your significant other so there is no need to rush home either. There are no rules and no dues; just come have a good time, meet some good people and enjoy a beer or two. You can find the schedule of upcoming events on the front page of our website or by following us on Facebook. You can find all the photos from Business & Beer at King Harbor Brewing Company on CraftBeerGuy.com. Cheers!
