What really is a chronologically fluid anniversary event since Smog City Brewery actually opened their doors unto a Torrance zip-code back in 2013, this Saturday’s Smog City Brewery Anniversary event is a way to celebrate their rocket-ship success over the last couple years. Like many of their recent on-site bottle-release events expect a large crowd as they have built a faithful and thirsty following in and around the South Bay.
VIP tickets are already sold out but everybody is welcome to come inside the brewery and taste, buy or pontificate about Smog City’s new and sometimes weird beer between 1:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. more info
We’ve got some Mother’s Day brunch ideas over on another blog post if you’re still looking for a special meal for Mom.
