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.
Guinness Day – Chicago
Hermosa, Torrance Style
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.
Guinness in the Yard
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 # 3
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 X3
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.
1st Visit – Los Angeles Ale Works at Ivy Station
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.
Arts District Lodge
Arts District spot in massive Aliso complex that had a Mumford sign for a hot minute might instead get Arrow Lodge Brewing. I say might because too many times, I have seen a liquor application sign posted and nothing happening.
So file this under, hopeful waiting because having Arrow Lodge closer than Covina would be good. Though it is a tough call as to what is worse finding parking in the Arts District or driving the parking lot that is the 210 freeway.
BW3
Staying with news from Beachwood Brewing is this 2022 summer expansion, or as they are calling it…
Three new Beachwood locations, including the already mentioned on this blog…outdoor taproom at 2nd & PCH in Long Beach.
There will also be a brewery and distillery* in Bixby Knolls, Long Beach (*coming soon) (my guess is the open ex Liberation Brewing spot) plus a pizzeria in North Huntington Beach.
That is a lot on a plate.
A Feather in La Puente
So, from San Dimas to La Puente, the folks at Feathered Serpent are headed. From the wording, it sounds like they will leave San Dimas and that this is not a second location move.
Another Beachwood to Visit
Beachwood is going to be sliding a new location to us in 2022. Not yet in Glendale unfortunately but at the 2nd & PCH location…
