Business & Beer returned to the Tortilla Cantina in downtown Torrance last Thursday for another business networking event. This was our fourth appearance at Tortilla Cantina, a taco bistro/gastropub that serves up to 40 different beers on tap and touts 18 varieties of tacos. We did not have a very large group with us, but did have a few people come up to find out what we are all about. Hopefully, some of them will find our group interesting enough to join us again. We are still using Meetup until our membership expires, but no one showed up as a result of our efforts with them. If you know someone that wants to take that group over, have them contact us.
A tasty flight from Tortilla Cantina
This Thursday, May 9, we will be returning to one of my favorite places, The Brewery at Abigaile, in Hermosa Beach. The Brewery at Abigaile is currently the only brewpub in the South Bay that we include in our weekly rotation of Business & Beer venues. To refresh your memory, a brewpub brews their beer on location and serves upscale food. The Brewery at Abigaile does it in spades and sets the bar for brewpubs in my opinion. This week will be extra special in that Abigaile is doing a cross-over event with Beachwood BBQ & Brewing in which they will be pairing four of their beers with Chef Tin’s creations. This will be a fun evening of business, beer and good food. They open at 5:00, so if you want to come early, we will likely be there when they open.
It is as easy as dropping in your business card!
The Business & Beer networking group is quickly approaching one year of weekly gatherings. Since we started in July 2012, we have had a Business & Beer meeting every Thursday except for Thanksgiving and the first Thursday of April. It has been a learning experience and we appreciate everyone that has come out, whether you are a regular attendee or if you only joined us for one or two meetups. We are going to start doing things a little differently beginning in July, so come on out and find out what we have on tap (no pun intended).
Please join us for Business & Beer a small business networking event which will be held at Tortilla Cantina. on May 2, 2013 at 6 PM. Tortilla Cantina is located at 1225 El Prado Ave, Old Torrance, California. Please RSVP by commenting below that you will be there.

Last Thursday, Business N Beer returned to Tortilla Cantina, a taco bistro with up to 40 beers on tap. When you sell a lot of local brews, sometimes keeping them all stocked can be a task, but they always seem to have at least 25 available and that is a pretty good selection to be able to choose from. They have daily beer specials, that make it a logical choice for a good beer and some tacos. Anyway, we had a good turnout with about 15 people coming out; with almost half of them being people we have not seen in a while. One of the nice things about Business & Beer is that whenever you have time to join us, we are glad to have you.
A toast to doing business
This Thursday is Valentine’s Day and since we know not everyone is able to bring their significant other to our gatherings, even though they are more than welcome, we will not be having a Business & Beer this week. We will return to our weekly rotation on Thursday, February 21 at the Brewery at Abigaile, in Hermosa Beach. This is currently the only brewpub in our rotation and they truly set the bar when it comes to brewpubs; and I have visited more than a few. If you like good beer and good food, you will enjoy this location. If you have already been, you know what you are in for.
A good night of networking and beer

Last Thursday Business & Beer met at Tortilla Cantina, in Old Torrance. Tortilla Cantina is a gastropub that specializes in tacos, with 18 different varieties; and they offer up to 40 different craft beers on tap. This was the 20th meeting of Business & Beer since we started back in July. It was another cold, damp night which probably had something to do with the relatively low turnout we had. I am still not sure how much the return to Pacific Standard Time is affecting our attendance since every Thursday since Daylight Savings Time ended has been rather damp and chilly. We will continue, no matter what, because even when the turnouts are low, business and networking is being done.
Tortilla Cantina Flight
Tomorrow night, December 6, Business & Beer will return to The Rockefeller, a gastropub in Hermosa Beach. This will be our third visit to The Rockefeller and we have always had nice turnouts, so if you have been waiting for the right time for your first to a Business & Beer gathering, this would be a good one to start off with. The Rockefeller has food and drink specials on Thursdays and they offer 25 craft beers on tap; so come meet some fellow beer lovers, do some business and have a pleasant evening out. It does not look like it will be raining tomorrow, so come on down.
Enjoying some business and beer at Tortilla Cantina
We have scheduled a couple new venues for our upcoming meetups; 1321 Downtown Taproom Bistro in Torrance and Brewco in Manhattan Beach. Both locations have an extensive selection of craft brews and they both serve food, so be sure to watch for them on our schedule of upcoming events.
