These photos were taken Thursday, January 11, at ISM Brewing Company in Long Beach, where Long Beach’s newest brewpub celebrated their grand opening. The very well attended event featured their ribbon cutting, food and drink specials, live music provided by Laura Wiley and lots of delicious ISM brews.

Like a typical ribbon cutting, ISM Brewing was welcomed by representatives of the state, county, City of Long Beach, the Chamber of Commerce and various neighborhood business groups, all of whom seemed to be quite excited to have ISM Brewing move into the neighborhood.

If for some reason this is the first you have heard of ISM Brewing, ISM has taken over the former location of Beachwood Brewing’s brewpub on 3rd Street. While Beachwood has been a long time favorite of mine and it was sad to see them go, if one of your favorite breweries/brewpubs is going to close, there is nothing better than to have an equally adept brewery/brewpub replace them.

ISM Brewing is located at 210 E. 3rd Street in Long Beach. They are open seven days a week, and have a dog friendly patio. If yesterday’s turnout was any indication, ISM Brewing should do just fine. Cheers!
