Smog City Parks California IPA 16oz can

Smog City Parks California IPA

Parks California IPA, our latest release in our 2025 Community Impact Series, is here. Brewed in collaboration with @parkscalifornia for our 2025 Community Impact Series, this is our love letter to the wild places that need a little extra love back.

Just in time for Earth Day, this West Coast IPA bursts with berry aromatics and cara cara orange, layered over a crisp, dry body and a clean, snappy bitterness that keeps you coming back. It’s made for picnics, trail breaks, and post-hike hangouts — an IPA for the great outdoors.

Even better? It gives back. Every pint helps restore California’s state parks through our 1% for the Planet partnership, especially those impacted by wildfires or long-term neglect.

Smog City Brewing Co. was founded by husband-and-wife team Laurie and Jonathan Porter, driven by creativity, passion, and hard work. In 2011, as the craft beer movement began to take hold in California, LA was still seen as a “craft beer desert.”

Despite the dominance of cocktails and wine, the Porters saw an opportunity to put craft beer at the forefront of LA’s food culture, inspired by gastropubs, farmers markets, and the farm-to-table movement. They envisioned a space where great beer could be part of the city’s evolving culinary scene.

In 2013, Laurie and Porter opened Smog City’s brewing facility and taproom in Torrance, CA, a growing beachside city in the South Bay. Since then, Smog City has expanded to four taprooms, including locations in Torrance, Long Beach, and Glendora.

With a focus on community, inclusivity, and outstanding service, Smog City continues to redefine what beer can be, offering a safe space for everyone to explore new flavors. From our humble beginnings to becoming an industry leader, we’re proud to have built a brand that’s as much about the people as it is about the product.
