Smog City Brewing is going to transition out of the Bixby Knolls Steelcraft spot and into Smog City Heights: Eats & Drinks “an elevated fast-casual food experience that brings the full Smog City story full circle.”
And having just recently been at Smog City, I can easily see how their beers which cover a wide spectrum of flavors will play very well with food.
Villains Brewing Company which has a haunting (large) home in a super beer-y section of Anaheim has now opened up a hive of villainy in the equally beer filled San Diego market.
Time to be a superhero and visit both.
Feathered Serpent Brewing started life in San Dimas but are now all set to re- start in La Puente on July 27th with a grand opening. Looks like a cool space from the outside and I will have to make visit to see the inside.
If I had to pick a state that The Bruery would add a location to, Idaho would not have made the list. But apparently, this summer (or thereabouts) there will be a Bruery in Boise.
I would have thought that anywhere in California might be easier, or Las Vegas but Idaho it apparently is.
I saw this graphic posted a few days ago…
…I will pass on more information as it rolls in. Green rivers on St. Patrick’s Day plus Guinness is a good mix.
A ray of good news came for Los Angeles beer fans as Hermosa Brewing announced on social media that their Torrance location is now operating.
This would be a good time to show some love to those brewing in the South Bay.
If there is a place more aptly named for a brewery than Old Brewers’ Yard, well I can’t think of it.
Guinness will be moving into that location in Covent Garden where beer was brewed back in 1772 and will house not only a brewery but restaurant, store and event space.
Now I have to visit Baltimore and London for the Guinness trinity.
Ten Mile Brewing in Signal Hill is opening a new location in Ladera Ranch in Orange County.
The third location for Ten Mile “is slated for Spring of 2023, so stay turned for more details.”
Hermosa Brewing is adding a new brewery and taproom location in Torrance on Del Amo Boulevard. This is their third location and second outside their namesake beach starting point.
When I had their beer at the Beach, I was quite impressed. When I tasted it earlier this year at their El Segundo location, it had lost a little luster to my taste buds.
Maybe the new taproom will reclaim that lost ground.
When I was in Portland, I visited a coffee shop that was next door to a bottle shop which was part of an apartment complex. It made me wonder what it would be like to have that availibility so close.
If you live at the Ivy Station in Culver City you now have an outpost of Los Angeles Ale Works an elevator ride away.
Yesterday, I was able to step inside for the first time. The color scheme is great, warm blues with wooden slats plus blue speckled countertops. The space is rectangular and a bit smaller than I expected with a corridor of outside seating facing the Metro.
I liked the little touches on the chairs….
…and the beer list was full. No lack of choices…
…this a great addition to what is becoming a Metro beer crawl with Santa Monica Brew Works to the west and Party Beer to the east. Dodger and Angel City FC fans will have a great place to pre-game as well.
