Strand Brewing Co.

Opened in 2009, Strand Brewing was one of the South Bay's first craft breweries to bring quality suds to Torrance. The brewery has grown at an exponential rate, recently moving into a larger facility to accommodate the beer's demand. Its massive warehouse is sparsley decorated, holding only the brewing equipment and a few picnic tables and stools. There's nothing simple about the beer, though. Heavy on the IPAs, Strand has produced some fantastic brews that include 24th Street Pale Ale, Musashi Black IPA, Second Sleep Russian Imperial Stout and a few more. Choose from a selection of games while you play—UNO, shuffleboard and the like. There's even a kid's tables if you're planning on bringing the little ones (just, you know, maybe don't get too sloppy in front of them?).
