The OC/LA release thread.

I hear ya man...I go to artifex to get my fix but San Clemente is so far...as is long beach.

 

Two if you only count Beachwood. Blendery is a whole new ballgame. They are pretty tight at the LB location already.I'm talking about BW brews. I think they can expand and bottle more Beachwood sweetness. Everyplace else is expanding. The LB location won't go anywhere. So why not find another spot to brew more beer. I would like to see some cans from BW. But the bottles are beautiful.

 

Beachwood in HB..... Would be so nice.

 

I heard the same thing.

 

From what I heard they are buying Beach City to expand brewing capacity. Didn't hear if they would maintain a tasting room or if it's just for production.

 

Can anyone comment on how much this might increase Beachwood's production?

 

+1 on this, Culver area really is lacking brewery options ATM. Firestone will be awesome, but i feel like its gonna be out of control crowded when it opens, plus the location is gonna be traffic nightmare

 

True, culver city is pretty dry on craft beer in general. The overpriced city tavern and not that many bottle shops that I know of. Big 7 on Venice if pretty decent plus Traders and Beverage Warehouse for room temp ipas

 

haha big 7 is actually pretty legit. I was surprised when i went in there assuming it would just another hole in the wall liquor store. All of DT Culver is super over priced. I'd check out the Doughroom near palms and overland. Good pizza and some interesting stuff at comparatively decent prices

 

Heard they will keep/improve tasting room. I'm guessing at this, but I think they could prob double production.

 

I like the Doughroom for the most part, I don't like them charging $40+ for Rare Barrel bottles in house but they have some nice tap takeovers. Good pizza and garlic knots

 

The tasting room at Beach City is tiny. Was there this weekend and me and my 3 friends were the only people there for a good hour or so

 

They could blow out that cold box and expand the tasting room by 200%, and maybe get rid of the park benches.

 

I think cooler will stay. They could still use it for keg storage. Yes they need to get rid of the benches and make the tasting room more enjoyable. But how will add more taps for all them delicious Beachwood beers?

 

Ballast Point is opening up a new tasting room in Temecula tomorrow. So I would say the LB location is still a go.
BP in LB
Smog in BK
and BW in HB
I think 2016 will be good for us in the OC/LA area.

 

I'm heading to LAX for the week for work. Any good beer stores/places around? Anything imparticular I should be looking for?

 

LAX area? Or landing at LAX and working somewhere in LA?
