Hazy IPAs and Belgian-style beers, dog-friendly patio
"This all-Belgian brewery in Torrance was one of the first places on the West Coast to kick off the hazy/juicy IPA craze, with every brewery from here to Seattle following suit. And while the lines for their fantastic limited-release beers aren't as long as they used to be (no more camping overnight), their barebone industrial taproom with a dog- and kid-friendly patio is still a pleasant place to hang out with a small-batch IPA or Belgian tripel. Expect a rotating roster of food trucks in the evening, and a large selection of cans available to-go. " - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
"If You Want To Show Off To Your Beer Nerd Friends. If beer nerds are Captain Ahab, Monkish beers are the white whales of LA. That means this one will be really hard to get your hands on. Monkish’s take on Weathered Souls’ recipe is brewed without any adjuncts - meaning it’s a malty, roasty 10% ABV imperial stout. Think of tiramisu. They’re donating their profits to The NAACP Legal Defense Fund." - brett keating
