    Windsor Homebrew supply has a great selection (albiet tiny but still great) next to the Camp in Costa Mesa (two blocks south of South Coast Plaza off 405). Can get beachwood IPAs there a day or 2 old and for same price as HB.

    Skimming through my IG I came across Maine Lunch on tap at Select Beer Store. Now I have never been to SBS but I've heard a lot of good things about this place. I've had Lunch plenty of times in my days. Way before it showed up here in SoCal (when it became a mess). I had to do a double take on the Lunch post. $12 for a 8oz pour. Really? Rent must be extremely high in Redondo Beach area. I had a full 16oz pour of it a while back at BT's in HB for $8 or 9. It wasn't worth it. I love Lunch and Dinner but it was either old or off.

    That was a mistake. Its $8 for 12oz. They have guests draw those signs sometimes and must've got it reversed.

    But you are not wrong, rent is stupid high in RB. haha

    Hollingshead has a nice carry-out selection as well as on-tap, which is why they're so groovy.

    I haven't been to Ramirez in a long time so I'm not sure if they still do it, but they they used to post photos of new/rare arrivals on their Instagram then hide them in the back to trick people into coming into the store even though they weren't selling what they advertised. It really soured me on them so I stopped going there.

    The Wine County in LB sells singles, not sure if they have any available. Call and ask, they will check.

    I saw the Sierra Nevada Fall Pack at Hawthorne Costco. $25 for a case. Nothing earth shattering but I know people enjoy it and it comes out to about a $1 a beer.

    @Izzy_Izumi Wine country doesn’t have any, but the place down the street that used to be Stearns Liquor has 6-packs available. They also have the new fresh hop IPA from Fremont.
