Business & Beer ended 2015 with another visit to the Hermosa Beach brewpub, The Brewery at Abigaile. We had a nice little group join us and most attendees were able to try brews from Abigaile’s new brewer, Paul Papantonio for the first time. I have to say that personally, I have enjoyed what I have tried by Papantonio so far and I look forward to trying what he comes out with in 2016.
In 2015 we visited a total of seven different production brewery tasting rooms and one brewpub. Some of the breweries had significant changes in the past year, including El Segundo Brewing Company’s bigger and better tasting room and Strand Brewing Company moving to an entirely new location.
To a great 2016
While most of the locations were only visited once in 2015, we should see the addition of up to three more tasting rooms and one brewpub in the Business & Beer rotation, meaning everyone except one will get one visit in 2016. In fact, we will begin 2016 at Torrance’s newest craft beer destination, HopSaint Brewing Company in Torrance on Thursday, January 14 from 6:00-8:00 PM. Continue reading
For the second month in a row, the Business & Beer networking group has met at a new tasting room; in October we visited El Segundo Brewing Company’s (ESBC) new tasting room, which was just moved to the other side of ESBC’s prior tasting room which increased their space by 200% or something. In December we visited Strand Brewing Company, who had no room to expand; so they moved. The new location is almost cavernous with their new 36,000 square-foot facility. We had a pretty nice turnout and everyone seemed to enjoy the new surroundings; you will want to visit Strand now that they are getting settled in.
Our December gathering of Business & Beer will be held at The Brewery at Abigaile in Hermosa Beach. The last couple of times we have met there we have had some fun groups, Abigaile is quickly turning into a crowd favorite. They have a new brewer now and what I have tried has been great; you know their food is fantastic. We will meet Thursday, December 10 from 6:00-8:00 PM. Just so you are aware, they do have underground parking. The Brewery at Abigaile is located at 1301 Manhattan Avenue in Hermosa Beach.
