LA Area Brew Pubs

[mbischoff63]

I am flying into LA from Atlanta next Friday (January13), and am hoping someone can give me a few tips as far as good beer bars go. I will be staying in the Industry/La Puente area, and am hoping to drink some Alesmith, Alpine, and Russian River beer while out there. Time is limited, but I have thought about making the trek down to San Diego to check out Alesmith on site.

Any help will be most appreciated.

If you're headed all the way to SD, you might as well stop off at the Bruery and Bootleggers in OC and Stone and Port/Lost Abbey on the way

If I can help it, I would prefer to stay in LA unless there is nothing good. Hoping to find something similar to the Toronado with lots of craft beer taps. That being said, I like the suggestions big time. If I head to SD, that would allow a visit to Ale Smith, Stone, and Alpine.
