These photos were taken Saturday afternoon at El Segundo Brewing Company, where they were celebrating 13 years of being the South Bay’s most hopcentric brewery. The day featured food from Buddha Boy Tacos, the White Dog of the Year finals, a dog adoption put on by SPCALA, and a tap list offering 22 selections, including their anniversary brews, Greetings from El Segundo TIPA and Lost in the Mail QIPA.

It was a pretty nice afternoon as far as the weather was concerned, so that was a pleasant change from our recent temperatures. There was a nice group of beer consumers, and lots of dogs, which is always a good thing in my book.

The White Dog of the Year will be an annual event as ESBC searches for the perfect spokesdog and mascot for El Segundo Brewing Company. As I perused the scene, there was one dog that definitely stood out to me as a contender, and that was a very pretty English Cream Golden Retriever by the name of Mayberry. Her owners told me that she was actually named after El Segundo Brewing’s Mayberry IPA. I just know that she was the most obvious choice going by fur color alone. Congratulations to Mayberry and her humans.

Congratulations to Rob, Tom, and the entire El Segundo Brewing team on a great 13 years, and I know I am not alone in looking forward to what the next 13 years bring. Cheers!
