In 2011, Smog City Brewing Co. began brewing beer at the Tustin Brewing Co. brewpub. Utilizing TBC's excess fermentation capacity, Smog City was able to brew well-crafted beers, and personally distribute to restaurants and bars throughout LA County. After the purchase of our own full-scale brewing equipment, we formalized plans for our new brewery and taproom in Torrance, CA. In 2013, we received final building and license approvals and began making beer in our own brewery.
