Los Angeles Ale Works - Brewery & Tasting Room

A few blocks from SpaceX in Hawthorne's industrial stretch, this warehouse taproom pours a rotating lineup of IPAs, lagers, stouts, and sours brewed on site. There's no kitchen, but food trucks selling pizza, tacos, and burgers set up out front most nights, and picnic tables spread across an astroturf lawn catch the overflow when it's warm. The crowd skews toward sports on the screens and long communal tables built for big groups. A smaller satellite tasting room now operates inside Culver City's Ivy Station, within walking distance of the Metro.
