The South Bay’s most fun business networking group, Business & Beer, returned to the Strand Brewing Company tasting room Thursday and I think it is safe to say that everyone had a good time. We had close to 15 people come by with several of them being second time attendees. In addition, Rich Marcello, one of the co-owners of Strand Brewing Co, is always good about directing his customers that might benefit from our networking group over to us. We definitely appreciate it.

For those that are familiar with Strand Brewing Company but have not visited in the last couple of weeks, I encourage you to stop by and try their new Russian Imperial Stout. It may be the best beer I have tasted from Strand in the year I have been coming. I think we will have to try it in a beer float soon.

If you live or work in the South Bay area and networking is an important part of your business, either as an owner or an employee, you should stop by one of our weekly meetings. We meet every Thursday at a microbrewery, brewpub or gastropub in the South Bay. If you enjoy craft beers and have thought about starting your own business, come on by. You can talk to others that have made the move and you can enjoy some great beer while you are at it.
