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.
If you know anyone that would benefit from networking with other business owners and enjoy craft beer, please feel free to tell them about us. If you have not signed up to our mailing list yet, be sure to do so and you will always know what is coming up. No worries, we will not spam you. If email is not your thing, you can always Like Us on Facebook to stay informed. Continue reading

Business & Beer returned to the Tortilla Cantina in downtown Torrance last Thursday for another business networking event. This was our fourth appearance at Tortilla Cantina, a taco bistro/gastropub that serves up to 40 different beers on tap and touts 18 varieties of tacos. We did not have a very large group with us, but did have a few people come up to find out what we are all about. Hopefully, some of them will find our group interesting enough to join us again. We are still using Meetup until our membership expires, but no one showed up as a result of our efforts with them. If you know someone that wants to take that group over, have them contact us.
A tasty flight from Tortilla Cantina
This Thursday, May 9, we will be returning to one of my favorite places, The Brewery at Abigaile, in Hermosa Beach. The Brewery at Abigaile is currently the only brewpub in the South Bay that we include in our weekly rotation of Business & Beer venues. To refresh your memory, a brewpub brews their beer on location and serves upscale food. The Brewery at Abigaile does it in spades and sets the bar for brewpubs in my opinion. This week will be extra special in that Abigaile is doing a cross-over event with Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in which they will be pairing four of their beers with Chef Tin’s creations. This will be a fun evening of business, beer and good food. They open at 5:00, so if you want to come early, we will likely be there when they open.
It is as easy as dropping in your business card!
The Business & Beer networking group is quickly approaching one year of weekly gatherings. Since we started in July 2012, we have had a Business & Beer meeting every Thursday except for Thanksgiving and the first Thursday of April. It has been a learning experience and we appreciate everyone that has come out, whether you are a regular attendee or if you only joined us for one or two meetups. We are going to start doing things a little differently beginning in July, so come on out and find out what we have on tap (no pun intended).
