King Harbor Brewery’s Pi(e) Day took place Saturday, March 14 attracting a well-heeled crowd of individuals including beer influencers, local socialites, pie fans, beer industry VIPS and of course, beer lovers.
Pi Bake Shop supplied six Chocolate Mouse Pies made with King Harbors’ ‘The Swirly’, a Abel Brown Ale brewed with Coca Nibs for contestants to get sloppy with, and they did!
With two minutes on the clock, hands tied behind their back, prizes at stake and a crowd to cheer them on they were each ready to eat two and a half pound pies.

About King Harbor Brewing Company
Way back in November 2012 Will and Tom had the great epiphany, like most brewery founders, that the corporate world was just not for them and greener pastures were out there for the seeking. Both being big fans of beer and having traveled all over the world searching out small breweries and unique styles, they knew exactly what to do – open a brewery, obviously – but they knew that neither of them should be a professional brewer. So they sought out someone with a brewer education, years of professional experience and a propensity for making damn delicious beer: Phil McDaniel (Siebel, Stone, The Bruery). KHBC is a production brewery in North Redondo Beach with a totally sweet tasting room. Come by and grab a couple pints. King Harbor Brewing Company is located at 2907 182nd Street in Redondo Beach.
