Craft brewery with pilsners, stouts, ales, tours, taproom & growlers
"Smog City’s Torrance location has expanded their patio to include most of the parking lot, with plenty of picnic tables, umbrellas, and greenery. Open Thursday 3-9pm, and Friday-Sunday 1-9pm - reservations here." - brett keating
"All three of Smog City’s locations are open for pick-up right now, offering both traditional brews - their hoppy amber Sabre-Toothed Squirrel is an LA classic - and some funkier stuff, like the 1+1=3, an extremely out-there mixed culture saison aged in foudres. Keep an eye out for their crowler deals, too - like three 32-ouncers for $25. Order for pick-up or delivery within 20 miles on their website (delivery is free on orders over $50). They’re also shipping within California." - brett keating
"If Your Favorite Meal Of The Day Is Breakfast. Smog City, the fast-growing Torrance-born brewery, is brewing a lighter, roasted 7% ABV oatmeal stout - which often tastes like buttered toast (we’re not complaining). They’re donating proceeds to Black Lives Matter LA and the Peoples’ City Council." - brett keating
"AGL’s is a pop-up fixture at different breweries around LA (usually in Northeast LA and the South Bay) which is convenient because we doubt there’s a more perfect food to pair with fresh beer than their loosely Texas-style ‘cue. Classic brisket, jalapeño-cheddar sausages, and pork ribs are all done well, but it’s specials like smoked beef cheeks, pork belly burnt ends, brisket tacos, and pastrami-style beef ribs that have us tracking their movement like NORAD. Follow them on Instagram. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"I'm aware that Smog City Brewing is hosting a two-hour murder mystery night this Wednesday; the event costs just over $75 and includes the teamed-up entertainment as well as a full dinner and beer pairings." - Farley Elliott
