Bell X


Craft beer is coming to the City of Bell in the form of Border X Brewing.
Partners David Favela, Alberto J. Lemus, and Diego Torres-Palma started in 2014 down in San Diego and are venturing north much like fellow SD brewery Modern Times did.
Border X has a focus on traditional brewing craft brewing methods highligted with Mexican ingredients.

Beers with jamaica (hibiscus flower), lime and cucumber with sour beer or dried prune and chile powder.

The space in Bell (on Gage Avenue) was formerly used by the Golden Bakery and will now house a 7,000 square foot brewery.

FoodGPS Teaser – Barley Forge

Last week I profiled the brewers behind Pipe Dream Brewery and this week yet another profile of another westside homebrewer who is looking to go pro.

This week over on FoodGPS is Barley Forge….

I had the opportunity to taste Greg Nylen’s beers at a home brew evening at the Craft and Folk Art Museum on Wilshire. He had two versions of the Santo amber brewed with two different yeast strains.

I also sampled the Double Imperial pale called Delicious and two versions of Black Dahlia a Belgian strong ale.
