Beachwood Brewing's downtown Long Beach spot has been sold to up-and-coming RIIP brewer Ian McCall. The move marks the closing chapter for the location under Beachwood Brewing and indicates a promising shift in the city's craft beer culture, as reported by the LongBeachize.
In expressing a series of heartfelt sentiments on a recent Facebook post, Beachwood Brewing highlighted the venue's historical significance. Announcing plans to diversify its operations, the brewery has decided to relocate specialty beer production to its Huntington Beach location, precisely at the same time bolstering its Long Beach and Orange County presence and initiating a distillery.
The transition from Beachwood to Ian McCall sparks optimism to for the locale's future. McCall, a highly-regarded beer expert who brewed at the downtown location, has been recognized for his original and outstanding craft beers. His dedication and experience in the field equip him handsomely to continue the legacy posted on the Facebook post.
Although the termination of Beachwood's downtown footprint evokes memories, patrons can continue to enjoy their preferred concoctions at city alternatives, such as the newly inaugurated taproom at 2nd & PCH and Bixby Knolls' taproom and distilling establishment. By October 29, the downtown location will cease operations, providing customers with an opportunity to bid farewell to and celebrate the place's history.
