Long Beach will play host to the 3rd iteration of the Taste of Brews later this month on the 24th.
It will again be held at the Lighthouse Park and benefit the Long Beach Marine Institute. Skip past the Journey tribute band “The Journey Experience” and 80s cover band “The Pac Men” and head to the taps manned by Golden Road, Karl Strauss, Sam Adams and Firestone as well as Rock Bottom, Beachwood, Belmont, El Segundo, San Pedro and Strand Brewing Co. Plus several breweries from the Inland Empire like Hangar 24, Wiens, Inland Empire, Craft Brewing and Packinghouse will also be on hand.
Now I have not been to this event so I cannot vouch for it. But if you are averse to driving to the IE to try their beers. This might make a perfect opportunity to try them at the beach. Plus Beachwood is never a bad sign.
