In 2011, Glenn Closson was brewing beer in a buddy’s garage when he came up with a name for the brewery he hoped to open someday: Beach City Brewery. He considers it plain good luck that he was able to make that daydream a reality in the quintessential beach town, Huntington Beach. It’s the city’s first production craft brewery, and it leaves no question about its coastal spirit. The beers sport names like Hang Five IPA, PCH Pale Ale, and Overcast Summer Wheat, and beach-themed paintings by local artists decorate the laid-back tasting room. Even the tasting flights get the Surf City treatment: Called the Funboard (four pours) and the Longboard (eight), they are served on wooden platforms shaped like surfboards.
