Nice time yesterday with Zorak and DELee

Took a tour of three local breweries in the Southbay, ate, drank and discussed miles and points..

Fun day all around! Looking forward to the next time.

As noted by Flying Machine , we went to three different brew places: Brewport in El Segundo, Far Field in Lawndale and King Harbor (the brewery) in Redondo Beach. He also did double duty in being Zorak 's around town transporter.

A few shots from Brewport on Main in Downtown El Segundo:

Far Field is interesting given its truly industrial location directly on Rosecrans just west of Hawthorne:

This time I forgot to pull my phone out to take some shots as we enjoyed our beers as well as hot chicken and fries from the food truck.

Also completely missed any shots from the King Harbor Brewery location on Kingsdale and 182nd. I blame it on too much beer.

A very enjoyable afternoon with much discussion about travel, life and FlyerTalk!

Is that even a thing?

Here's my interior pix from King Harbor:

for future reference, Hopsaint (on 190th, just west of Anza) and Grunion’s (on Sepulveda in Manhattan Beach) are worth consideration

Brewport had Hopsaint Chocolate Trip porter on nitro on one of its taps. I wasn't a huge fan but I think the others enjoyed it.

Grunion's has been around for like EVER; I went there a couple times when I was living in Torrance 1976-78

... discovered Hopsaint a few years ago while making ~monthly trips to El Segundo, along with Zymurgy Brew Works (now Smog City West, on Hawthorne between Sepulveda and PCH)

I was *really* tempted to do a day trip, but since I'm planning to join a former AF colleague's first post-retirement HH at Grunion's on Fri 1 Oct (1700-2000ish) and then embark on a TCON MR, the domestic overhead was a bit too much ... that said, I'll definitely close the loop if future travel plans materialize

For myself and Zorak , we'll be at the LEX DO this weekend with a few other Flyertalkers so we won't be around unfortunately.

depends on my SEA-->DCA travel paradigm ... although if I have to hazard a guess today, that's as likely a day as any (and much better for me than the following week)

We'll be meeting up with Zorak on Sunday afternoon for lunch and beverages.

I'll pick him up at Terminal 2 and head out from there.
