    We're leaning heavily toward a couple of the beaches communities in LA.

    I like Redondo because of Naja's and Select Beer Store.

    You can't go wrong with the South Bay. Torrance breweries, Long Beach spots, ESBC and not too far from FW Venice.

    Ha good luck with parking there unless you go into suburbs. Long Beach/Lakewood area is fairly relaxed and near a bunch of freeways.

    I live on the east side of long Beach, and parking is so much better. Yeah if you're gonna live downtown or in Alamitos Beach it's gonna suck

    Update: We're moving to Marina del Rey by early March.

    Really looking forward to exploring the LA / SoCal beer scene and meeting up for beers!

    when I was a PA (production assistant) a producer I worked with used to joke with me that I should have my own reality tv show, called "PA in LA"

    I think you should have one. BA in LA

    I just moved to Playa Del Rey (Close to Marina del Rey). not much beer-wise in the immediate area but lots a few miles out.

    Enjoy!

    Yeah. I haven't been yet, but there doesn't look like much in Playa. How's The Tripel.

    Playa (and Marina) is a pretty decent location. You have El Segundo Brewing a couple miles to the south, Firestone Walker Venice a couple miles to the north, and Three Weavers a couple miles to the east.

    Tripel does pretty good food, beer selection is decent for a gastropub but not mind blowing. Cinco up the street in Westchester occasionally has good taps, food is bleh though.

    @PG2G: Cool. We'll be on the Venice side of Marina and a quick walk to the beach. Plenty to do, see, eat and drink.

    Nice. Minutes from FW Venice and ESBC (and Rock n Brews). And about a 30 minute drive to the Torrance breweries.
    Someone mentioned Cinco. I've only been once, but it was douche bag central. Super loud and the best thing they had on tap when I went was Old Rasputin. At least it was on nitro.

    I'm in Redondo. Great bottle shop (Select Beer), bars (Naja's), lots of local breweries (Monkish, El Segundo, Smog City, etc..) plus Hopsaint.

    And of course, very laid back and family friendly.

    My wife is from the Boston area also.

    Looking forward to visiting Redondo once we settle in. Let's do a proper BA Gathering.

    Given that's where I currently live I'd love to do a homer "Hellyeah". Truth is that there's so much great beer going on in numerous regions of CA it's really hard to keep up...and distributors can't.

    My previous $0.02
