Brewery and alcoholic ... tea!

Let's try out a unique, quirky, but popular local brewery with specialty beers, snacks and ... home brewed alcoholic tea! Yes, I want to know what that is too! Prices range as low as $3 for snacks to $6 for smaller beer samples. Of course, you can get bigger portions and more items. This place is in a highly trendy 3-bar-and-one-restaurant block in Glassell Park. The brewery has plenty of standing room, high-top tables, a long "board" where you can rest your drinks, and lower seating as well. It is famously decorated with alumimum foil. We love LA! You cannot make up what people think of here. Come join us for mingling and bring friends! This is an indoor event, but with open doors and windows to one side. Please dress accordingly. Note: Please bring $3-5 to the hostess for my Meetup fees and "trouble" (exact change best). You can also pay via Venmo: @myanna-dellinger. Last four: 7295. It can be difficult finding parking right outside or super close to this bar. Try on the far side of Eagle Rock Boulevard and those small streets (or valet). See you! Myanna

Drink n’ Draw at Mt. Lowe Brewing

This is a casual group for anyone with even a mild interest in drawing and art. This is not a class and you don’t have to have any particular artistic skill. Just come by, have a drink, and meet some cool artists! See you there!

What could be easier? It's always a fun mix of people and you never know who will meet who can change your life! Keep in mind we also have a Facebook, Alignable and Eventbrite group invited and other groups who may come who do not RSVP, so the rsvp list here may look lighter than it really is! Many people stay 1 to 2 hours but some of us often stay later than 9pm. **There is Valet or you can park for $1 per hour at The Beverly Center across the street (after 4 hours its $2 per hour).** **There is a reason everyone who comes to these events says its the best networking and social event in LA**. (look at the hundreds and hundreds of meetup reviews you can see here or ask AI "**what the best networking event is in Beverly Hills?**" We’ve loved building this community and keeping it free for as long as we have. As the group has grown, there are real costs involved in organizing, promoting, coordinating, staffing, and continuing to create a great experience. The ticket price helps support the continued quality and sustainability of the event.
