"Beachwood is a full-scale BBQ restaurant right along the promenade in downtown Long Beach. While their BBQ is solid and you’ll eat more than your fair share of their housemade cornbread, you’re really here for the beer. Beachwood has been one of California’s best craft breweries for a while now, and it’s home to one of our favorite IPAs of all time (Melrose). Sitting out on their patio drinking a West Coast IPA and watching people walk by looking for the aquarium is exactly how every Saturday should go." - brant cox, brett keating
