A Different Bend

The team behind turning the the Leisure Town of Modern Times into Villains Brewery in Orange County will be giving the former Portuguese Bend space a do-over, with former Blinking Owl master distiller Massimiliano Stecca at the still.

The Mosaic / Promenade is getting a new wave of producers such as the softly opened Altar Society, ISM Brewing taking over the Beachwood BBQ space and now the return of distilling after the acrimonious departure of the Portuguese Bend.

Turn over just might draw me as well as others to day trip.

Alosta Brewing Company

There are many L.A. area Kickstarter breweries up and looking for capital. (I say donate to all of them) But I am focusing in on Alosta for this post.

I like to see history being invoked because we (and I include myself) know too little about the places that we live in and secondly, I like that they will be serving a part of the world that doesn’t have a brewery. Monrovia gets Pacific Plate and if you donate, then Glendora can have Alosta.

And I can get both!
