Some guys from my home brew club started a brewery (LA Ale Works) next to the SpaceX facility in Hawthorne CA, and at quitting time the SpaceX crew swarm the joint for a well deserved pint after work.

They all seem pretty chill for engineering types.

This is a picture of a Belgian Brew Competition we held last spring at the Ale Works. You can see the SpaceX banner in the back. The crew didn't realize how close, and how fond of beer the SpaceX team was once their rockets got their groove on!
