Last Thursday Business & Beer had our tenth get-together, this time with a return visit to Strand Brewing Company in Torrance. Strand Brewing is a local brewer in Torrance and specializes in ales, with their Atticus and Black IPA being two of my favorite locally brewed IPA’s. We had a fair turnout of eight, but as several of our regular attendees were out of the state, I can not complain. We had a couple second timers and one new attendee so it looks like we are going to continue to grow.
From Strand Brewing, with love
Tomorrow night, September 20, we will return to The Brewery at Abigaile in Hermosa Beach. If you did not join us here in July, you do not want to miss it tomorrow. The Brewery at Abigaile is a brewpub apart from most brewpubs in that not only do they offer some truly amazing beers, but their food is second to none. All brewpubs should be so good. Since they do serve food, this is a great event to bring your significant other. Between the food, beer and wine selections, you can be sure there will be something there for you. As an extra added bonus, since tomorrow is Day One of LA Beer Week, there will be specials offered with discounts on pints and growler fills. I do not think we could have planned a better way to start off LA Beer Week.

Since this is the beginning of LA Beer Week, we will be having an additional get-together on Friday, September 21 at Alpine Village in Torrance for their 45th Annual Oktoberfest. Members of Business & Beer, their family and friends will get free admission to Oktoberfest. You must be on the guest list and be over 21 to attend. We will meet at 7:00 PM at the patio area in front of the Alpine Market; please visit our Facebook page for more details and to get your name on the guest list.

The 4th Annual LA Beer Week is almost upon us, and Business N Beer has some great meet-ups happening to coincide with the event. LA Beer Week is actually an 11 day event which begins on September 20 and runs through September 30. So far we have three Business & Beer events scheduled.
Thursday September 20, Business N Beer will be meeting at The Brewery at Abigaile in Hermosa Beach. This will be our second visit to Abigaile and since it is the first day of LA Beer Week, the timing could not be better. I happened to drop by there over the weekend and had the opportunity to talk with Jed Sanford (owner) and Brian Brewer (head brewer). Jed informed me that they have several specials planned for that evening with $3.00 pints, deals on growlers fills and specials on their clothing line. Brian told me that he is working on a few new brews, so if he does not join our group this time, it is because he was up early working on his new creations. Their beer menu has changed since our last visit, so I am sure I will be getting a flight so I can try them all.
On Friday September 21, Business N Beer members, friends and family have been invited by Otto Radtke (General Manager) at Alpine Village to attend their 45th Annual Oktoberfest free of charge! We are meeting at 7:00 PM in the patio area of the Alpine Market, which is directly across from the Alpine Inn and across the parking lot from the beer tent. To take advantage of this you must sign up. Please visit our Facebook page to get your name and the names of any guests on the list. If you have never been, you will have a great time.
Thursday September 27 Business & Beer will make our first visit to Tortilla Cantina in downtown Torrance. Tortilla Cantina now offers about 30 beers on tap, with most of them coming from local brewers. You can find more details on our Facebook page and on the front page of BusinessNBeer.com. We look forward to seeing you there.
All the Monkish brews
For those that did not make it, we have been invited by Alpine Village to attend their Oktoberfest as a group, for no charge. Your name will need to be on our list so if you are not following us on Facebook, this would be a good time to do it so you can sign up and learn more details. Currently we are deciding between September 21 or the 22nd. Go cast your vote.

Our next Business & Beer will be held this Thursday, September 13 at Strand Brewing Co in Torrance. This is a return visit to one of the fastest growing micro breweries in the South Bay. This is a brewery that has something for everyone, whether it be an amber or an IPA. As it is a micro brewery there is no food, so you are welcome to bring food if you wish. There is plenty of free street parking available and you are encouraged to use that. As usual, all the photos from our visit to Monkish Brewing can be found on GotBaddog.com.
