Ivy Station, the second location for Los Angeles Ale Works is still in the “works” and now the Hawthorne brewery that is celebrating five years has announced their intention to take over the Boyle Heights location where Indie Brewing recently left.
The former Indie space has a good sized footprint, plus there is a nice courtyard that might be put to use (permits permitting). It could use a bit of sprucing up and a better entrance to the taproom but the bones are there. And with the 6th Street bridge/viaduct opening mid this year and large park nearby, this could be a real smart play.
Hopefully they can brew a beer in homage to the previous brewery to keep a connection to the history of the L.A. beer scene.
