Smog-urgy

In a case of in with old and out with the newer, Zymurgy Brew Works and Tasting Room in Torrance will be closing as of July 31, 2019. The space will not sitting fallow for long though as Smog City will be taking that space over with a projected 9/1/19 opening (don’t write that in stone).

I never visited the Zymurgy location. In ignorance, I thought it was a homebrew store only for a long time.  I did try their beers at the L.A. Beer Week Kick-Off  but never really learned more about them though they were on my too-long “should visit” list.

The space has “16 taps, a new long bar and a comfortable lounge area”, per the e-mail that announced the closing so that would seem suited to the full range of Smog City beers and not just wild and sours.

With space at SteelCraft in Bixby Knolls, selling at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market and an upcoming stall at a Glendora Food Hall, this new space further expands the empire of Little Bo Pils.

DIY is Back

When our craft beer was still in the growing phase, you could find places where you could brew beer, using the equipment and expertise of someone else. They soon faded away though as home brewing shops and clubs blossomed around L.A. But now a new company is testing out the waters.

Zymurgy Brew Works will provide the professional brewing equipment as well as the ingredients and recipes. Then you leave the clean up to them. Once done, you slap your personal labels on the bottles and voila, your own beer. They are promising that brewmasters will lead some sessions so that you can make a copy of beers that you normally buy.

They opened up last weekend and apparently also have a tap room / bar on site too.
