These photos were taken Saturday afternoon, May 13, at El Segundo Brewing Company in El Segundo, where they held their 12th anniversary. The low-key event featured the release of two high-octane brews and food provided by Gochu Gang Korean BBQ.

So yeah, I initially described the event as low-key, but it might better be described as a reunion of long time ESBC fans. While they may not have had multiple food trucks and live music, they did have 20 high quality El Segundo Brewing beers on tap, including their two high-octane anniversary brews; Greetings From El Segundo TIPA (11% ABV) and Lost in the Mail QIPA (13.2 ABV), which were also released in cans.

It was a pleasant afternoon with plenty of pups and a few toddlers to enhance the dog friendly/family friendly atmosphere one has learned to expect from our local craft breweries. And while there may not have been things like live music and games, all regulars to El Segundo Brewing are aware that the tasting room isn’t exactly big enough to accommodate extras like that, but we are really there for the beer.

Congratulations to Rob, Tom, Dick and all the El Segundo Brewing staff on 12 years of brewing some of the most hopcentric beer in the South Bay. I know I am not alone in eagerly awaiting what the next 12 years brings. Cheers!
