Strand Brewing Co. - Torrance

1 star because I got hyped up only to be disappointed and I’m not from the area.Went all the way there on a Friday 14th October) and it’s closed. So better call in to check if you’re making plans.

Nice place to grab some lunch and beers. Tons of indoor and outdoor seating. Came here for an APL (Adam Perry Lang) bbq popup and it did not disappoint. Food popups/food trucks and breweries are a great combo IMO. Would definitely come back

I give strand 5 stars. But APL BBQ needs to learn how to satisfy its customers. We were in line at 12:05 mind you they open at noon and the beef ribs were already 86 after an hour of standing in line. I don’t recommend anyone wasting their time with this pop up shop. And where are the sides? This place is definitely lacking.

A few months ago we met up with some friends at Strand Brewing to celebrate a friends birthday and because they also had a guest chef that was offering a fried chicken plate which is slightly different than the usually bbq offering that is available most of the time. Overall we thought the food was ok but rather pricey. I think what really stood out was the beer offerings. My wife and i ended up getting a tasting flight which allowed us to choose 4 different beers each. Just a general tip, the tasting flights are limited to the amount of glasses they have available which runs out very quickly. Therefore if your interested in the tasting flight, you need to go early. Overall just a great casual place to hang out for a drink and a bite to eat.

I’m giving this place 1 star because it wasn’t open when Yelp said it would be. However, my rating may change once I get the chance to try their beers and, more importantly, their barbecue.
