Smog City Brewing Co. is one of the best breweries I've been to in the LA Metro! They have a nice taproom space that expands outdoors, they have TV's playing whatever major game is going on that night, and the beer is top notch. My group thoroughly enjoyed the Tuna Thai Thai Belgian Blonde w/ Prickly Pear,Coffee Porter, Snuggly Bug Sour, Hoppy New Year Spruce Tip IPA and Unyielding Haze IPA! The Portuguese, Spanish and Mexican fusion taco stand was also amazing, and we came back for seconds! Some of the best tacos we've had in a long time! The prices for the beer here were also below market average which was a nice change of pace, especially since everything was delicious. 5/5 would highly recommend stopping in!

Traveled here from Colorado where there is no shortage of craft beer. The beer here is fantastic, the bartenders are even better. Deena was super friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. She made our visit here so special we would come back just to see her again. The band playing was awesome and instantly set the vibe.

I like coming to this brewery. It's a good space but parking is limited. They usually have a good menu and you can always find some really good beer like the coffee porter or mango pango on tap. Plus, they usually have good food trucks/vendors that come through. It's definitely a top brewery in the South Bay.

Came here to grab some drinks after dinner and this place was straight up popping with food vendors outside and live music inside. Great selection and variety of beers as well.

it surely a nice place to chill.... There are so many choices of IPA, the sampler is an excellent choice if you just want to explore everything, or simply get a traditional signature item, never goes wrong. Service is fine, I won't weight too much in such setup, but they are all patiently wait for you to make your choices on the sampler...

Amazing time today at Smog Cities pre -Octoberfest celebration. Amazing beer selection on tap as well as bottled. One of the few places on the face of the planet that has decent stouts, lagers and porters ( no, I'm not an IPA fan. Amazing food trucks, Berlin with Brats, Kielbasa and more. And yes, this old white guy schooled a group of culturally diversified youngsters in their full 1 liter mug holding contest. And did I say their staff was amazing. Thank you to Lindsey my partner in crime!!! Buon Appetito.

I had a welcome party of ~100 people here the night before my wedding. Booking was super easy. Staff was so accommodating and checked in on my party and I frequently. My whole party loved the ambiance of the brewery. There was plenty of seating available. We brought our own 4ft tall speaker for music in the front. The beers were great. There were 2 food trucks serving tacos and pupusas so plenty of options for people. You're allowed to bring desserts which we did with a dessert table. Would highly recommend for events!
Honestly, not impressed. Maybe I tried the wrong beers in my flight?? Cuddlebug was interesting. Very tart, but I like tart. Still, not great. Bourbon Barrel was definitely my favorite from what I tried. Again, I like bourbon beers though. The atmosphere was nice! That and the type of music the play are probably my favorite things about this location. But, not the beer. ?

Smog City does not accept cash, yikes. I was lucky enough to find someone to hand cash to to buy me a beer, but I was not able to purchase a second one. This is a huge let down, as I do not purchase beer with a card. I hope they will someday update their policy so that I may return and enjoy another beer here, soo sad

Great ice cold beer! Saber toothed squirrel best choice ?Food truck... Extremely overpriced.

First time here, and finding the beer selection to be mostly sour brews that maybe currently in season but not my preferred style of beer. Everything is good from the location to the friendly staff, just not what I was hoping for in terms of sour beers

Yet another great brewery in Torrance! Big selection of locally made brews at this fully operational micro-brewery.Great outdoor seating but also indoor seating. A variety of food trucks stop by, so always something new to munch on.As for the beers, I bought a split four pack of the coffee porter and lager real. They are both outstanding...you must try those!
