Last Thursday, January 17, marked our 27th meeting of Business & Beer and officially put us over the six month mark for the existence of our weekly networking events. We met at Monkish Brewing Company, a microbrewery in Torrance that specializes in Belgian style ales. As I was out of town, Tanya headed the meetup for me. We had just under 10 attendees; but two of them were first timers that had been referred by one of our regular members. We grow by people recommending us to their friends and business acquaintances, so we truly appreciate it.
Winning a free beer brings big smiles
Tomorrow night, January 24, we will be meeting for the first time at Brewco in Manhattan Beach. Brewco was one of the original microbreweries in the South Bay, but stopped brewing beer several years ago. Today it is a gastropub with a nice selection of craft beers both on tap and bottled. In addition to the quality brews they serve, they have a nice food menu. As it may be a little chilly tomorrow night, I will recommend their chili which is one of Tanya’s favorites. Brewco is located about a half block east of the Manhattan Beach Pier and there is a large public parking lot between the two.
If you enjoy craft beer and trying new locations that serve them or if networking is an important part of your business model, Business & Beer is for you. We have no rules, no dues, no mandatory meetings. Just show up when you can and enjoy the company of other craft beer fans that also enjoy networking with others. To ensure you are aware of all our upcoming networking events you can sign up to our mailing list or Like Us on Facebook. We hope to see you soon.
Thursday, January 3 Business & Beer met at Alpine Inn at Alpine Village in Torrance for the first meetup of 2013. Since it was just two days after New Year’s Day, we were not really sure what kind of turnout we would have, but it turned out we had nothing to worry about. We had a nice group of about 15 people eager to meet up with friends, drink some beer, eat some food and do a little business. Since attendance had been low in the weeks leading up to the Christmas holiday season, it has been reassuring to see double digit attendance at both gatherings we have had since Christmas. I am in the process of setting up some special events in the upcoming months, so 2013 should be interesting and will determine whether or not Business & Beer will continue.
Beer Menu at Alpine Inn
Next week, Business & Beer will return to one of my favorite microbreweries in the South Bay, El Segundo Brewing Company in El Segundo. While El Segundo Brewing is probably best known for their Citra Pale Ale and White Dog IPA, they have been expanding their selection with a new Standard Crude American Imperial Stout to go along with their Hyperion Stout. It makes for a varied selection of locally brewed beers to satisfy any palate. As they are located in El Segundo, parking is free. If you do not find street parking, there is a public parking lot across the street.
Business & Beer at Alpine Inn
If you work in the South Bay area and networking is one of your job duties, you can take the “work” out of the job and join us on Thursday evenings at 6:00 PM at one of our Business & Beer gatherings. Every week we meet at a microbrewery, brewpub or gastropub in the South Bay to network and enjoy some American craft beers. We are all about supporting local brewers and local business, so if this fits your mindset and you enjoy discovering new brews, come on down. We have no rules, no mandatory meetings and no dues. Just come down and have a good time. Sign up to our mailing list, found on every page, or Like Us on Facebook to make sure where we will be next. You will not regret it.
