First excursion to Long Beach in a long while but when you have Beachwood and Congregation within spittin’ distance of each other than it is easier to make the trek from valley to sand. Especially when a designated driver is involved. (Thanks Jennie!)
First stop was Beachwood BBQ…..
…for house beers to go with brisket and blue cheese grits….
…my first Beachwood beer was Reckless Session ale….
…but before that was a trio of Evil Twin beers Ryan the Beaster Bunny saison, Before, During and After Christmas DIPA and my favorite, Biscotti Break….
Then it was a stone’s throw (literally you could throw a stone from one to the other) to Congregation Alehouse….
…to gaze upon the multitude of taps…
… I settled on a Blue House IPA from El Segundo. Second time tasting in two days. A new favorite is found!
