group of cheerful multiethnic friends clinking beer bottles during event on terrace

Hello.

Do you like beer?

Well, I love beer very, very much.

In fact, I am already thinking of making my own beer.

I don’t really like to pick up canned beer from the supermarket anymore.

Basically,

I always go to a brewery and enjoy a fresh beer poured from a tap in the sunshine California weather during the daytime.

You know that it is a very happy time.

In Los Angeles, there are so many great beer breweries, and the competition is fierce.

In fact, there are so many that you will probably get lost trying to figure out which brewery is the best.

Some of you may want to try them all during your trip! But sometimes you just don’t have the time to spend a lot of time on beer,

So we’ve handpicked a few of the best craft breweries in LA.

If you live in Los Angeles, there is a brewery on this list that you haven’t tried yet, I highly recommend you visit it.

And if you really like it, they also make beer to-go style, You can enjoy that brewery’s beer at home.

Since this list is carefully selected for couples and dates, I will recommend beers and craft beers that not only men but also women can enjoy.

I have selected 5 craft beers that I have personally enjoyed visiting while living in Los Angeles, and that I would recommend as seriously good.

I am sure that you will not be introduced to these places,

If you are currently traveling in the U.S., or you are planning your next trip to the U.S., if you live in Los Angeles, or if you are a beer lover, this article may be a good one for you.

This article is for,

  • Beer Lovers.
  • People who want to enjoy craft beer during their trip to Los Angeles, USA! People.
  • People who live in the U.S. and want to know more about craft beer in California.

This article is for those who want to know more about craft beer in California.

First of all, let me introduce you to;

-SMOG CITY-

The beer here can be summed up in one word: perfect!

You can’t go wrong with any of their beers.

The can bottle design is also very nice, so it makes a great gift idea.

The IPA, Stout, Hazy IPA, etc. are all great.

You can also order 5 different beers in a small glass, so if you want to order a lot of different beers, this is a great way to do it.

The atmosphere of the place is great, and the beer has a perfect balance of aroma and taste, especially the fruit flavors, which I think even women can enjoy with ease.

This beer is one of my favorite beers in L.A., and it is ranked as one of my top two favorite beers in the city.

The main store is located in Torrance, about 30 minutes south of downtown Los Angeles by car.

Smog City Torrance Brewery & Taproom

1901 Del Amo Blvd.

Torrance, CA 90501

(310) 320 – 7664

You can also get information about other locations from the official website, which you can access here.

The indoor and terrace seating is spacious, and you can enjoy a beer in the daytime under the blue sky.

It’s seriously too happy and there isn’t that crowded on weekdays, so if you are going as a couple or individual instead of a crowd, weekdays are recommended.

On weekends, it will be quite crowded.

This is true for any popular brewery.

Parking is not a problem at all on weekdays, as there are spaces on the street and near the store.

Prices also vary depending on what you order, but you won’t find them expensive as they are normal beer prices.

This is my opinion but all breweries are a wallet-friendly tourist spot when traveling in the U.S.

I personally recommend the Hazy IPA in the picture and this black beer.

Stout is a great beer to drink at a brewery like this.

I have never had a good canned beer, so if anyone has any recommendations, please let me know.

Personally, I often order this Stout beer as my final drink because it gets me drunk just right after a couple of pints.

Next, I would like to introduce you to another beer that I highly recommend.

-El Segundo Brewery-

This brewery also has a stable taste and great aroma flavor, and it is easy to drink.

I like that they are a good location in the city of El Segundo.

I recommend it for two reasons.

After drinking, you may want to walk to El Segundo Beach, which is close by, to get tipsy. You can enjoy the California beach in about 25 minutes by walking.
The other thing I would say is that you can enjoy “This is the America” feeling of the brewery.
Honestly speaking, there is also a delicious Tonkatsu (pork cutlet) restaurant called Kagura nearby, so you can fill up on something to eat, too.

Most of the customers are local surfers, and they also show sports, so you have the added bonus of being able to get excited about soccer, baseball, basketball, and other seasons while drinking and cheering and chatting with everyone.

This place also offers collaboration beers with “SMOG CITY,” which I introduced at the very beginning.

The entrance looks like this.

Here is the link to the official website.

El Segundo Brewing

140 Main Street
El Segundo, CA 90245

(310) 529-3882

This brewery is located in the city a little north of the airport, so it is relatively easy to stop by.

Parking is a bit small size, so you can basically park on the street or in a nearby parking lot (2 hours free).

Prices are usually reasonable, so it’s easy on the wallet. (The beer is really good, as long as you don’t drink too much.)

The reason why I am writing an article only about beer is because it is really good and I want you to be happy after drinking it.

Knowing these places will make your trip a lot more enjoyable, and the places I personally recommend have a good atmosphere. (Basically, unlike fancy restaurants, you will not be discriminated against, so you can enjoy yourself without being offended.)

The IPA here is so good that it has been a champion,

Definitely you might want to ask for an IPA once. By the way, I always enjoy IPA. The picture is also an IPA, and the glasses are stylish.

I forgot to take a picture of the outside patio space,

It is quite spacious, so there is no problem at all even with a large group.

The ambiance is also excellent.

It’s a great place for a casual date or a third date (without the upscale hotel restaurant vibe, of course).

You can have a beer with locals in a friendly atmosphere.

If you like to hang out on the beach with your girlfriend, boyfriend, friends, or family afterwards, this is the brewery for you.

I’m already happy as long as I have a beer on the patio in the California sunshine.

This place is right up there with “SMOG CITY” as you can walk to the beach after you finish your beer.

Next up is ;

-Frogtown Brewery-

The best beer here is their HAZY IPA.

The glass is also very stylish, which is rarely seen in other breweries.

In my opinion, glasses are very important to enjoy and it attracts people who drink beer.

I think it tastes easy to drink even for women who are not drink beer so well.

The official website can be found Here.

Forgotown Brewery

2931 Gilroy St, Los Angeles, CA 90039

(323) 452-2739

and is in the suburbs of downtown LA.

It is located a little north of Dodgers Stadium.

It is a bit far from the airport, but you may want to see it on your way to downtown.

Parking is on the street.

The price range is very inexpensive and easy to spend compared to restaurants and trendy bars in the US, although I probably don’t need to tell you that.

With that said, if it is a patio space,

You can definitely enjoy your beer with the best California weather.

The only a small problem with this brewery is parking. You will probably have to park on the street, so on weekends, it may be extremely difficult to find one.

The IPA here is also very tasty.

Here is a picture of it.

The glass is really exquisite and nice.

And it tastes great.

I believe that beer lovers are particular about the taste of their beer.

To be honest, most of you probably think it’s almost the same, but when I talked to the owner, he told me that he opened his brewery after a long process of trial and error, and that he is now working hard to provide us with great tasting beer,

I can thankful for that.

You won’t regret it.

If you are ever in the downtown area, be sure to visit this brewery.

The next brewery we recommend, and may be you can go on a date.

-RT ROGERS BREWERY-

RT ROGERS BREWING. CO.

It has patio seating that is just adorable and perfect for a date.

Their beer taste and smells are great.

And the best part is the very good service.

This place also has a lot of locals so you can enjoy “Here is the America” feel, and the time to go is definitely at night.

I would like to call them “Stylish, brewery”.

Basic information can be found by accessing the official website here.

The interior is also very unique.

It is located in Sierra Madre, far from downtown LA.

38 E Montecito Ave Unit #1, Sierra Madre, CA 91024

If you are driving from the airport, it may take about an hour to get there due to traffic congestion, but it is worth it.

It is best to stop by after a hike in the nearby Angel Forest, which is a mountain in LA.

Parking is available in the back of the store, but it is not that busy of a town, so there is plenty of street parking available and you should have no trouble at all.

After the hike!

Nature lover!

Also, if you’re looking for a brewery for a date, this is the place to go.

Here is the menu.

The pictures are cute and colors are very stylish. Also their coaster design is also very nice.

If you visit this brewery when it gets a little dark, you can enjoy the stylish and cute lighting.

So, I have recommended this brewery as a perfect place for a date.

The last brewery I would like to recommend is a new brewery in Pasadena.

-Wild Parrot Brewing Company-

The owner is wonderful!

To be honest, this is my first time here, but the beer is seriously good!

Also, even though it’s a weekday, the place is quite crowded. The official website is here.

They also offer a birthday celebration service.

The address is here.

2302 east colorado boulevard, pasadena, ca, 91107

I tried two IPAs this time,

west coast IPA and Double IPA.

Both are the best! Too good!

The location is in Pasadena is about 10 minutes from downtown LA.

Pasadena is famous for hosting the American football Super Bowl.

The reason why I like this city is that the people who live here are all nice.

I recommend you to visit the old town of Pasadena because you can feel the American atmosphere.

I also had a chance to talk with the owner,

He is a very nice man.

I think that the owner’s personality is important to receive good service when drinking beer.

Especially when you are on a trip, it can be very off-putting to be treated in a discriminatory manner.

When a friend of mine visited the US on vacation,

I have heard that some of my friends have been treated in an overtly negative manner when traveling in the US.

I recommend breweries where I have received very good service, so it is unlikely that you will be offended. (As long as you don’t do anything rude).

This place has Cider as well as beer.

So it seemed like there were a lot of female customers.

I hope this article will be very good for traveler those who really like beer.

Because the breweries that I have been introduced to are the beers,

All are good, the service is good, and the environment is good, I am confident that you will like them.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this article, a good or a bad problem that,

There are so many breweries in LA that it is hard to decide where to go.

There are some places that can be especially weird or make you feel bad,

I hope you can avoid such things and enjoy beer without any worries, so I have selected 5 breweries for you.

I personally found a brewery that I often visit when I go to OC (Orange County), and I’m sure there are many more good breweries in other parts of California, and I’ll be recommending more breweries and restaurants in the OC and San Diego areas in the future.

Thanks for reading.
