HopSaint Brewing 10th Anniversary Photos
These photos were taken Sunday afternoon at the HopSaint Brewing Company brewpub on 190th Street and at their new taproom, HopSaint at the Ditch, on Del Amo Boulevard where hundreds of the fans gathered to celebrate HopSaint’s 10th anniversary.
The event featured a special menu and live music at the brewpub, with a couple food popups making appearances at the taproom. If you are looking for specific photos, pages one through four were taken at the brewpub, with the balance being taken at The Ditch. Naturally, there was an anniversary beer released.

HopSaint at the Ditch: Friends and Family Preview
These photos were taken Sunday afternoon, February 16, at HopSaint at the Ditch, in Torrance, where several dozen friends, fans, and family gathered for a Friends and Family preview of HopSaint’s new, soon-to-be-open taproom in the heart of the Beermuda Triangle on Del Amo Brewlevard.
The private event featured lots of HopSaint beer and pizza slices from the PiiZaa (aka @PiiZaaSB) food truck/popup. Continue reading
Culture Brewing Opens Taproom in Manhattan Beach
These photos were taken Wednesday, September 9 at Culture Brewing Company’s newest taproom, which opened last week in Manhattan Beach.
Last Friday, Culture Brewing Company of Solana Beach in San Diego County, opened a satellite taproom in Manhattan Beach. This marks the first time Manhattan Beach has had a brewery or brewery taproom since Brewco Manhattan Beach stopped brewing back in 2007 or 2008.
One might think that this is a weird time to open a taproom with to-go beers only, and I am pretty sure Culture Brewing would agree; the thing is, this has been in the works for two years now. Apparently it was one of the South Bay’s best kept secrets. To be honest, if it were not for a Craft Beer Guy follower on Facebook, I probably would not have been aware that they were opening up here. Continue reading
Photos from Hermosa Brewing’s 1st Anniversary Shindig
These photos were taken Friday evening at the Hermosa Brewing Company taproom in Hermosa Beach, where Hermosa Brewing kicked off their three day, 1st Anniversary Shindig. In addition to the 12 taps of Hermosa Brewing’s beers, the event features live music, and food and beer specials, including beer mocktails.
I arrived rather early in the evening, and while it was not very crowded when I first got there, it did not take long for the place to begin filling up. The live music, performed by Zeal Levin, began at 6:30 was pleasant and not overpowering; although I guess he did take up a couple spots that would have otherwise been used by the attendees. No one seemed to mind; it was nice to be able to be close to the music without having to yell over it. Continue reading
A Visit to Hermosa Brewing Company
These photos were taken Friday evening at Hermosa Brewing Company, a relatively new taproom in Hermosa Beach. It is literally around the corner from The Brewery at Abigaile, so I headed there after attending Abigaile’s Meet the Brewer event.
Regular readers may recall that in my review of 2018 I said that there were a couple breweries in the South Bay that I had yet to visit; one was Tortugo Brewing, which I took care of a few weeks ago, the second was Hermosa Brewing Company. While I had visited Hermosa Brewing back in August, it was pretty much to choose a couple of their beers for the 4th Annual South Bay Tap Takeover. This was my first visit with customers.
