If you have quaffed a Smog City brew at the Bixby Knolls Steelcraft location, you may have wished that you had your own shipping container chic place of your own.
Well if you are near Garden Grove, the second SteelCraft is coming later this year and will house eight new restaurant iterations, from pizza to coffee to ice cream.
And for beer? Well none other than the excellent Beachwood Brewing. It will mark their 4th location around the southern end of the Los Angeles area.
It took me far too long to finally make my first visit to the 2nd location of Smog City Brewing, SteelCraft.
My first thought as I entered the space was that my credit card was probably glad that I didn’t have a space like this too close to me.
Having the four food groups of coffee, bacon, pizza and beer made choosing food and then matching Smog City beer to it hard.
In the end, the pizza was a no brainer with Death by Hops Triple IPA and then followed that up with a lemon and raspberry waffle with a German pils.
The layout and shade and choice of food vendors was perfect. Now what to pair with ramen when I pay my next visit.
File this under 2016 – February. Cross referenced with shipping container, ramen and Long Beach. Oh, and Smog City.
Steelcraft will be planting shipping containers at Long Beach and that is where a ramen shop and a Smog City Brewing satellite tasting room will land. Along with a farm stand, flower shop, coffee and other restaurants.
