Historic Brewery Space Available Again

The brewery space that in the past housed the Angel City Brewery is available again. In the well known Alpine Village Complex in Torrance, the 1,900 sq ft space is in the process of being cleared of extra walls and can be viewed by interested parties.
The middle 450 sq. ft. of the space has an 18' ceiling for fermentation tanks. The remaining space has a 10' ceiling. Natural gas is available. There are numerous floor sinks and floor drains. A 110 sq. ft. office is in one corner, and a 50 sq. ft. tool room is present also.
The space is adjacent to the Alpine Village Restaurant and a large parking lot, and there is the possibility for an interesting tasting room.

Stadium Craft Better in Cans.

Recently I attended a Dodger game at Dodger Stadium on a Friday night. Of course beer was on the agenda, and I was pleasantly surprised to see not just the usual Bud Light and BudMillerCoors " craft " offerings like Shocktop and Blue Moon, but actual local craft offerings in beer stands without long lines.
And it turns out that I like to drink craft beer in 16oz cans at a ball game. The beer stays cold, it is easier to walk to your seat with a full one or two, and you know there is a straight line from the canning line to your mouth.

My first libation was Grandma's Pecan Brown Ale from the Dudes Brewery in Torrance. It went perfectly with my bag of peanuts. Nutty and fresh.

Next up was a Cabrillo Kolsch from Golden Road Brewing in Los Angeles (I don't always go from light to dark, so sue me). It was refreshing and paired with my veggie dog, I was one happy fan.

Yes the price is more than what we used to pay when we were in college in San Diego, sitting in $2.50 bleacher seats, drinking dollar beers and yelling at the opposition outfielders, but we all were younger and more foolish back then.

Salud!
