If you had one afternoon to visit three-ish breweries would you prefer: Anaheim area - Bruery/Bottle Logic/Noble (other suggestions?) vs. South Bay - El Segundo/Smog City/Monkish (other suggestions?) I've only been to the Bruery out of the above. Preference is IPAs and barrel aged beers. Thanks for any and all opinions!
If you want BA then its going to have to be Bruery and Bottle Logic for sure. Noble has good IPAs, but Monkish is the only one doing NE Style IPAs and Pales. Not much for BA stouts in the South Bay at the moment.
I know you've been to the Bruery ... but you could check out their brand new location which is super close to Bottle Logic ... if you are at Noble, Golden Road and Karl Strauss are within a half mile away - not high quality options, but options nonetheless and your 3 breweries becomes 5 very easily.
If you've been to the Bruery before, and decide to hit the Anaheim area you could skip the Bruery and visit Chapman Crafted (new to the area>Orange). Not far from Noble. Some really good IPA's. No bottles to go yet, but growler fills to go which I think the prices are too high $$.
Definitely check out Bruery Terreux, I prefer it better than the OG Bruery. Plus Bottle Logic has some pretty good barrel aged beers on tap right now.
