Business&Beer at Strand Brewing

Ready for Business and Beer

On Thursday, July 10, Business & Beer returned to Torrance’s original production brewery, Strand Brewing Company. Historically we have some of our largest turnouts when we visit Strand Brewing, but July’s meeting fell short of what we have grown accustomed. While the group was significantly smaller than expected, we did have at least one first timer and a couple returnees. When our groups are smaller it does give attendees the ability to learn a little more about each other and what they bring to the table as far as business is concerned. The next time they come to a Business & Beer gathering they will not feel like the ‘new guy’ since they did get an opportunity to meet a few people already.

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.

Business & Beer at Smog City Brewing

Business & Beer at Smog City Brewing

On May 8, Business & Beer made a return visit to Torrance production brewery Smog City Brewing Company. It was an interesting mix of people that have been coming since day one as well as several first time visitors. There were people coming and going throughout the evening which is fine since our gatherings are informal and there is no reason why someone should not feel free to stay for as long or as little as their personal schedule allows. The one constant of our meetings is the drawing for the free beer which always happens around 7:00 PM, so if you can only stay for a while, that is when you want to try to make it. ;)

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.
