Business & Beer at King Harbor Brewing Company

A few of the Business & Beer networkers

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. Continue reading

The Dudes' Tanks

The Dudes’ open their doors to Business & Beer

The August 14 meeting of Business & Beer was held at The Dudes’ Brewing Company in Torrance, and if you picked this month to miss attending you missed a great networking event.

The Dudes’ tasting room is not yet open to the public, but they were kind enough to open their doors to Business & Beer and we responded by having about 30 people come on out with a great mix of regular attendees and first timers. Head Sales Dude, Scott Shaw kept busy pouring [free] beer, handing out pizza and answering questions about the brewery; Assistant Brewer Rich Madden gave a tour of the facility to those that were interested. If you have even been in their brewery you know that it is significantly bigger and different than the others in the South Bay area.

As an extra treat, as if free beer and pizza was not enough, all attendees were able to take their Dudes’ glassware home and free tickets to the opening night of the upcoming Oktoberfest at Alpine Village were given out. It really was a fun night for everyone that came out and we were glad that so many could make it out.

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.
