i would head to torrance if I were you. There are 3 or 4 breweries within a couple blocks of each other (Monkish, Smog City, The Dudes). Not sure if the Dudes as a taproom yet or not but the other two do. The Bruery is maybe a half hour away from those spots depending on traffic and certainly worth a stop. If you willing to get further out of town you could hit Eagle Rock and Golden Road in the Eagle Rock/Burbank area. If your feeling really adventurous you could meet me at a bar in Pasadena thats having an IPA festival right now.
