As an avid aficionado of craft beer, I’ve long been a fan of Simmzy’s (229 Manhattan Beach Blvd.) in Manhattan Beach, CA. I mean, how could you not?

The winning combination was such a hit that last year they opened a second location in the Belmont Shores section of Long Beach. The newer space is even bigger and has even more beer on draft. It might sound like it can’t get much better. But it can. More like, ‘canned.’

Red Carpet Wine And Spirits Merchants
If you’re into craft beer and wine, then you know how difficult it can be to find a specific producer in any given region. Part of what makes craft products so crafty is that they come from small facilities that often don’t distribute far beyond their specific area.
