Joyce Manor by Kat Nijmeddin
Southern California pop-punk stalwarts Joyce Manor are announcing a collaboration with Smog City Brewing Co. in the band’s hometown of Torrance, CA. Together, the two are joining forces for a “super crisp and refreshing lager” aptly coined ‘40 oz. To Torrance.’
A play on words based on the title of Joyce Manor’s latest record ‘40 oz. To Fresno’ released this year, ‘40 oz. To Torrance’ is a German-style Helles that is technically challenging to make, yet comes across super approachable and easy to drink with a 4.8% alcohol content.
In celebration of the collab the band will also be bartending at a free release party held at Smog City’s main location on December 9th from 5pm-10pm. All ages are welcome!
‘40 oz. To Torrance’ will be available to pre-order starting at 10am on Thursday, December 8th and at all four taprooms starting on Friday, December 9th. It will also be available at select bars and retailers all over Southern California. You can also order four-packs to be shipped anywhere in California via Smog City’s website: www.smogcitybrewing.com
“We love collaborating with fellow artists outside the beer industry,” said Jonathan Porter, Owner/Brewmaster of Smog City Brewing Co. “We get to learn more about each other’s creative process and gain a respect and understanding for each other’s craft. It’s been awesome to work with Joyce Manor on brewing a beer that is a representation of both Smog City & the band. 40 oz. To Torrance is a beer that’s technically challenging to make, but easy to enjoy, much like Joyce Manor’s music. You can analyze or geek out over it all you want, but you can also just sit back, relax, and listen.”
The ‘40 oz. To Torrance’ beer will also be sold at bars and restaurants around the band’s headlining show at the Long Beach Arena on January 7, 2023 with support from PUP, Jeff Rosenstock and Slaughterhouse. Tickets are on sale now: https://joyce-manor.com/tour

ABOUT JOYCE MANOR
Joyce Manor is a band from Torrance, CA consisting of Barry Johnson (vocals/guitar), Chase Knobbe (guitar), and Matt Ebert (bass). Johnson and Knobbe started the band in 2008 in the Disneyland parking lot while sharing a bottle of cheap booze. Named after an apartment complex that Johnson would walk past every day, Joyce Manor made their debut as an acoustic two-piece. Quickly they learned that playing loud was much more fun and invited friends to join the lineup. The band has since released five studio albums; Joyce Manor (2011), Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired (2012), Never Hungover Again (2014), Cody (2016), Million Dollars to Kill Me (2018), and Songs From Northern Torrance (2020). Joyce Manor has toured extensively and has made festival appearances at FYF Fest, Coachella, Riot Fest, and others. Press accolades for Joyce Manor include support from Pitchfork, Stereogum, NPR, The New York Times, Brooklyn Vegan, SPIN, Rolling Stone, The FADER, and more.
