All Season Brewing Company is located at 800 S La Brea Ave Los Angeles, CA. This Historic building was built in 1937 by R.E. Ward as Firestone's flagship tire and service station. In 2012 this building was designated a Historic Cultural Movement. In 2015 the Firestone flagship was closed by Bridgestone.
In 2017 a restoration project began and after 4 years the building was completed restoration and opened for brewing February 2021. This large brewery is a 15 barrel brewhouse with a full bar, and non-alcoholic beverages.
When you walk up to the large patio, you are immediately greeted and you have IDs checked. Over 21 you receive a stamp on the hand. Inside to the right is the long bar, to the left is an arcade filled with old school games and new age games. In the back sits a small food pop up called Chicas Tacos, very delicious burritos and tacos! And more skee-ball games! Plenty of seating all around! They are family friendly up until 7pm, then they are 21+, also dog friendly (inside and outside).
They had a lot of beers to choose from! Their was four of us today so we all picked differently. Imperial Stout, Black IPA, Cloud Racer IPA, German Pils, Five Point Harness DIPA, Pink Lemonade mix drink on tap. They were all very good. The Imperial Stout was not heavy, which made it an easy drinkable drink in the sunny weather. If you are in the area, pop in here to see the history this building has to offer, grab a pint, some food and just sit and look around.

Broxton Brewery & Public House is located at 1099 Westwood Blvd Los Angeles, CA, in the area of the Westwood Villages. The Historic "Janss Dome" building was the first to be built in the Mediterranean Themed Village in 1929 by the Janss Brothers.
In 1988 it was designated as a Historic-Culture Monument. The original use for this building was for an investment company for the brothers as well as use of the second floor as the first male dormitory for UCLA students. It has since moved on to other investment banks, a music warehouse, restaurants and then on October 7, 2018 the Brewery.
The Brewery offers something for everyone. They offer guest Brewery Beers and Non-alcoholic beverages ranging from Sours to Stouts to IPAs to Lagers. They also offer a full bar and food menu.
We enjoyed the very large, outside, dog friendly, wrap around patio that faced the center. We tasted Broxton's West IPA, Hellas and the Amber Ale. They were all very tasty and easy on the palette. We did not order food, however what was being served looked delicious and very good portion sized. If you are in LA, stop in and enjoy a pint or two. If you are not in the mood for a drink, pop in to see the historic design of this building.

Firestone Walker Brewing Company is located in Paso Robles, Buellton and Venice, California. The very first location founded by two brother in-laws in 1996 was created in a shed and ran on a family vineyard in Los Olivos, CA, it was then moved to Paso Robles in 2001.
We were lucky enough to visit the Venice location before we went to Venice Beach. The Venice location opened in 2016 and is where the "Experimental collaborations and marketing headquarters are located, the address is 3205 Washington Blvd. Marina Del Rey, CA. This location is a brewery and gastropub.
We had a small pizza and a few pints. The pizza was very good. I was hoping to try one of their Imperial Stouts that they specialize in making, however they were not offered on the day we went. I stuck with a West Coast IPA called Electric Eagle. We also tried the Mind Haze Hazy Tropical IPA. Both were very good. It was hot out, and sitting in the sun you want a nice refreshing crisp beer, these two hit that mark. They serve non-alcoholic beverages and are family and pet friendly. Pop in this beautiful location if you are around the area. Enjoy a pint! Let me know if you try the Imperial Stout.

The Stalking Horse Brewery & Freehouse is located at 10543 W Pico Blvd Los Angeles, CA. "Freehouse" means this Brewery is not partnered with single breweries and is free to sell a variety of beers and other drinks.
This Brewery opened its doors in September of 2017 as a British style Pub focusing on English Ales, located in an old Historic building that held many restaurants and a German Beer Hall. They offer a full bar, non-alcoholic beverages, their own beers and guest beers. They also offer food, however we did not eat here.
We sat outside on their spacious communal patio, enjoyed the sun and nice breeze, they also have heater if you are cold. At the time of our visit they only had a handful of their own beers, that was slightly disappointing. We tried the Czech Amber Lager, West Coast IPA and a Helles. They were all delicious. If you are in this area, pop in to see this neat building and try a pint.
