Native Son Bar DTLA joined the family this month. It is now a trio with Santa Ana and Rancho Cucamonga already settled in the beer and cocktail mode. But the former Modern Times Dankness Dojo will be different because it will have house made beer.
The Head Brewer JP Boudwin comes from Modern Times and has worked this brewing equipment as assistant and then head brewer in the skinny location in DTLA.
To start there will be a Mexican Lager, a West Coast and a Hazy IPA for both sides of hop aisle as well as small batch and seasonal beers as well to complement the guest taps.
The interior seems to be just a toned down Modern Times. I understand the idea of paying homage to the previous tenant but MT is not MT now. Why tie yourself to the baggage of the past and the promise of the future version of Modern Times led by Maui Brewing. A complete overhaul with maybe an Easter Egg or two would have been a better choice.
A 1st Visit review will be coming on this blog.
