These photos were taken Thursday afternoon/evening at Two Coast Brewing Company, in Gardena, where the latest addition to the South Bay’s craft scene held their soft open. Their tap list consisted of eight German style brews including their Pilsner, Kolsch, German Pale Ale, a Dunkelweizen, Hefeweizen, Cream Ale, and a couple fest biers.

I arrived about 30 minutes after they opened and they already had a small group assemble, by the time I got ready to leave they were almost at capacity; it was obvious that co-founders Roger and Jan were enjoying watching their tasting room fill up.

Two Coast Brewing Company is located at 14928 S. Figueroa Street in Gardena and they will continue their soft open today at 4:00 PM. Beginning next week they will open Wednesday through Friday, from 4:00 to 9:00 PM; as they get dialed in they will begin expanding their hours, with their grand opening most likely happening in May.

Currently there is no food available, but that will change as soon as they can work out obtaining a source for some good German food; they may end up cooking it themselves, time will tell. In the meantime, you are welcome to bring your own food.

Two Coast Brewing is dog friendly and they have canned beers to-go. Congratulations to Roger and Jan; if last night was any indication you are definitely on your way to success. Cheers!
