Started by the same people as Redondo Beach, but that partnership broke up a while back. There's now a Manhattan Beach Brewing Company beer bar near Gate 81 Los Angeles International Airport's United terminal...they also serve industrial beer.

Directions: Highway 91 West to Highway 1 (Sepulveda Avenue) South. Turn left on Manhattan Beach Boulevard.
