Show 309, February 2, 2019: El Segundo Brewing Co’s Rob Croxall and Thomas Kelley Continues…

Rob Croxall and Thomas KelleyWe’ve been enthusiastically following the El Segundo Brewing Co. in El Segundo since the beginning, and this year they will be celebrating their 8th Anniversary. A wonderful entrepreneurial success story. They were one of the first craft breweries in the South Bay and are particularly known for their award-winning, hop-centric brews. Just opened a short walk from the brewery is the family-friendly, ESBC The Slice and Pint.

ESBC has a Tap Room at The Brewery on Main Street in El Segundo. All available styles can be tasted, and purchased there. The beer doesn’t get any fresher…

Principal Thomas Kelley is a Certified Cicerone. Tom discusses ESPB’s award-winning, Power Plant, their annual release of a Triple IPA (11.1 % ABV.) It was launched last Weekend with great fanfare.

Additionally, Pizza Port will be canning a single IPA version of a collaboration ESBC did with them last year. Their 16 oz. cans will be available in all their markets and is called “Chirpin Bird”. A play off of ESBC’s beer which was a Double IPA called “Surfin Bird”. Artist Steve Nazar of T&C Surf Designs drew both distinctive labels.

“Chirpin’ Bird” releases in late February and ESBC is brewing up a batch of Surfin Bird and will be doing a big launch event at Slice and Pint. Date still TBD but follow ESBC  @esbcbrews and @esbcsliceandpint to get more details.
