These photos were taken Thursday at day one of Ximix Craft Exploration’s grand opening weekend. Ximix is Gardena’s second craft brewery and if Thursday’s turnout was any indication, they have been welcomed with open arms by the surrounding community.

Ximix opened Thursday with eight brews to chose from; four of which are full batches, with the other four being small batches made with the Ximix pilot system. In addition to the beer, Chef C’S Smhokin Pot food truck was there serving their authentic Cajun food.

Ximix Craft Exploration Brewery is located at 13723 1/2 Harvard Place in Gardena. The grand opening continues Friday from 4:00-9:00 PM, then noon to 9:00 PM on Saturday, and 1:00-6:00 PM on Sunday. Continuing next week their hours will be 4:00-9:00 PM on Thursday and Friday, noon to 9:00 PM on Saturdays, and 1:00-6:00 PM on Sundays. They are family and dog friendly, and plan to have food trucks regularly and crowlers soon. Cheers!
