A nice group of networkers

The September 11 gathering of Business & Beer was held at The Brewery at Abigaile, the only brewery/brewpub in Hermosa Beach. While admittedly our Business & Beer events that are held north of Torrance seem to have lower turnouts, we had a pretty respectable group that consisted of two waves. Our initial group was a small mix of regulars and a couple first timers that all enjoyed the beer, food and networking. About five minutes after everyone left and before we had finished picking up after ourselves, a few more first timers showed up thereby making me realize the importance of including an end time for the events when we add them to the Business & Beer upcoming events. I apologize for not doing this two years ago when we started this. Officially our events run from 6:00-8:00 PM but this is not written in stone. Sometimes we have a larger group and time just flies by; since most tasting rooms close at 9:00 PM that is the latest we will stay but most people start leaving around 8:00. The drawing for the free beer is at 7:00; so you will want to be there by then.

Business & Beer will meet October 9th at King Harbor Brewing Company; currently the only craft brewery in Redondo Beach. This will be the second time we have met at King Harbor Brewing, the first time being their soft open that was held back in February. If you have not returned or been there lately you will be pleasantly surprised as there are more beers and much better seating than even a month ago. One thing you should know is that Thursdays are “bring your own mug night”; $5.00 fills your mug/stein; reasonable sizes only (no buckets allowed). The best mug brought in will win a free growler and fill from King Harbor Brewing; so come prepared to impress us all. The networking event runs from 6:00-8:00 PM. King Harbor Brewing Company is located at 2907 182nd Street in Redondo Beach. Continue reading

Ready for another Business & Beer

Over the past year and a half that the Business & Beer networking group has been we have come to notice certain patterns as far as attendance levels are concerned. For instance, during the summer and Daylight Savings Time more people will show up for one of our events than might show up on a cold December evening. We know that the closer we are to Torrance, the greater the number of attendees; that is why we limit the geographical range of the craft breweries and brewpubs we meet at. There are a few places we would have liked to include in our rotation, but expecting people to fight traffic to go 10 miles further probably is not going to happen. Our January gathering of Business & Beer seemed to dispel one of these preconceived notions with the very large turnout we had at The Brewery at Abigaile. We had one of, if not the largest turnout of any of our prior visits to Abigaile which consisted of old and new members all with different networking goals, but all with an appreciation of American craft beer.

Enjoying business and beer at The Brewery at Abigaile

While our January Business & Beer was a great turnout, the next few months should be even better as we are growing not only with the number of attendees but we are adding new craft beer tasting rooms to our schedule as new craft breweries are opening in the South Bay. On February 13, 2014 Business & Beer will be meeting at the first production brewery to open in Redondo Beach; King Harbor Brewing Company. This event will also serve to be King Harbor’s soft open and they have lots of specials planned; you do not want to miss this. King Harbor Brewing Company is located at 182nd Street and Kingsdale which is just west of Hawthorne Boulevard. You can find more details by visiting http://businessnbeer.com/king-harbor-brewing-company-february-13/. In March we will be visiting Absolution Brewing Company and we will be visiting The Dudes’ Brewing Company in April. Continue reading
