These photos are from our Business & Beer gathering at the 1321 Downtown Taproom Bistro, a gastropub located in Old Torrance. 1321 Taproom is a popular destination for beer drinkers due to the 16 taps of craft beers that they have available. They also offer flights of various sizes (4, 8, 12) for the adventurous craft beer drinkers out there. While the name indicates that they serve food as well as drink, they are in the process of redoing their kitchen staff and menu, so the kitchen is currently closed. To welcome Business & Beer for their first get-together at 1321, Chef Jacob prepared a small appetizer menu for us. I know some of their other customers were glad we were there as they were able to take advantage of the special menu as well. We had a very nice sized group and being just two days after Christmas I was happy to see that. I am sure we will come back after their full menu has returned.

2013 is almost upon us, so if you have made a New Year’s resolution to do more business networking, please feel free to join us at any or all of our weekly gatherings. We meet every Thursday at 6:00 PM at a microbrewery, brewpub or gastropub in the South Bay area. You can see the schedule at BusinessNbeer.com. Feel free to sign up to the mailing list to be kept aware of where we have been and where we are going next; you can also find us on Facebook.
