Don't ask why.........

But I'm going to be in Los Angeles for about 36 hours this weekend.

My schedule is pretty well booked up, but I'd like two suggestions from the
beer geeks:

*Best beer bar OR brewpub (among other things, I'm visiting Red Car Brewery
in Torrance for business reasons);

*Best beer retailer (convenience to Union Station more important than price
or selection). Heard a recommendation for Beverage Warehouse out on
McConnell Ave. in West LA; seconded? (Among beers I want are things I can't
get in Maryland--Moylan's hi-octane stuff, Riverside's RR-themed beers,
etc.)

Suggest away.
