"Monkish might be the most consistently crowded craft brewery in LA. And without those lines, we like this Torrance spot even more. They’ve got new beer releases every week, like the triple dry-hopped Juice Lee, or the LA Glove, a classic West Coast IPA. We recommend you follow them on Instagram to see when releases happen - they usually sell out within a few minutes." - brett keating
"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
"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
"I reported that despite contraction in the LA craft-beer scene, Torrance’s Monkish Brewing will open a new Echo Park location as part of the redeveloped Echo Exchange commercial project on Sunset Boulevard, joining its Torrance home and Anaheim beer garden." - Matthew Kang
