Smog City Brewing

Founded in 2011 by husband-and-wife team Laurie and Jonathan Porter, Smog City Brewing Co. set out to bring craft beer to the heart of Los Angeles’ food culture. What started as a dream in a city once considered a “craft beer desert” has grown into a celebrated brewery known for creativity, community, and flavor.

From their Torrance brewery and taproom to additional locations across the South Bay and beyond, Smog City has become a hub where inclusivity and innovation thrive. Whether you’re exploring bold new styles or sipping a beloved classic, every pint reflects their passion for great beer and the people who enjoy it.
