@Rocktheworld - there are three microbreweries within a half hour walk of hotel (I don't mind walking - I do >30 mins with dog every day). Are you familiar with any of these and if so, any recommendations that aren't sours (not a big fan): Absolution, Zymurgy, Scholb.
Haven’t been to any of those but have heard of Zymurgy and Absolution. I would check out Zymurgy if I were you maybe Absolution but they’re opposite directions from each other.
But then honestly I would just Uber and head over to Monkish. Smog City is right there and I like them, as are Strand and Dudes who are both decent. They’re not much further from where it seems you’re staying (by the fashion center? 10 minute drive from there) and I know for a fact those places are good.
I don’t really know that southern LA area that well. I need to get there and especially Long Beach more. I know Anaheim, Downtown, and the Eagle Rock/Highland Park areas better.
