Meet Benny in the Fall

Ground has been broken for Benny Boy Brewing

…and the fingers crossed / everything goes to plan opening date is September. Knowing the City of LA and the then (hopefully) after effects of pandemic times, I would say October or November might be closer.

Either way this freeway adjacent, five lanes of traffic away from the Brewery Blocks brewery and Cidery should be an excellent outdoor spot to re-acclimate oneself to drinking at a new brewery instead of the four-pack and flee method currently in place.

Updates to follow.

One of the toughest tests in opening a brewery is finding that special spot to plant your operations. That is especially hard here in L.A. but thankfully, the upcoming Benny Boy Brewing has found a spot…

..now comes another hard part. Getting all this together. I will update with any future news.

On Saturday, I had the pleasure of tasting beer from the in-the-works Benny Boy Brewing.

They have some great plans in store that you will read about on Food GPS on Thursday but I wanted to commend the brewer, Ben Farber on the initial beers and especially for a philosophy of how it “should” be done. I don’t mean in a rigid way but in a, tradition is tradition for a reason way.
