Although El Segundo Brewing Co. only began to establish a presence in the L.A. beer scene a few years ago, it has already attracted fans far and wide with its unique take on classic West Coast and European styles of beer. Nestled only steps from the beautiful Southern California coastline, it’s no surprise that the founders thought this would be the perfect location to highlight all that the Golden State has to offer. Their beer list includes all the basics people have come to expect from any craft brewery. But their more innovative styles stand out - not the least of which is their Hyperion’s Vanilla Stout, which incorporates imported Madagascar vanilla beans into the already luxurious European-style beer. More adventurous offerings include a triple hop-infused Citra Pale ale, or the White Dog IPA, which utilizes hops from both the West Coast and New Zealand. Between the waves of barley and the Pacific Ocean itself, it’s tough to resist camping out and making a day of it.
