Firestone Venice Brewery

actually in this case it's The Man holding us down again.

 

I'm sure this could have been taken care of with a donation to the Inspector's Charity of choice!

 

A bit of perspective:

FW is no longer a 'small business'

Opening, operating and selling in the city of LA, especially the location the built comes with a huge upside potential when done right, which they have set up to do. Higher regulations are unfortunately part of the landscape when opening here.

They're making money, they're going to be making a lot of money

FW is a smart enough company to know all this and will deal with these temporary annoyances

 

Legit made me laugh.

 

Not even THE INDUSTRY can stop city bureaucracy

 

UPDATE: Brewery Store is back to normal (almost). Retail beer can be purchased there but growler fills and tastings will only be at the Propagator Restaurant.

 

Hey @jemwilson, can you clarify the period of time we need to wait before we're able to come in and buy more of the 1pp stuff? I was told 1-2 weeks when I was there. When I asked if it was 1 or 2, they said two was safe. Is that still holding true? Thanks!

 

I just called and spoke to them and they said "indefinitely". Essentially they were getting the same folks each day so they've put a stop to it to make sure everyone has a fair chance.

 

Indefinitely? Wow... If your name is on that list you aren't allowed to buy any bottles/cans at FWV indefinitely? Or only the limited stuff you've already purchased? Say I bought a feral one, can i still buy a different bottle, just not feral one?

 

Correct, you just cannot buy duplicates (at this point) of vintage and Barrelworks beers. Meaning one Feral, one Parabola, one XIX, etc. per person. Beers like Luponic, Opal, Double Jack, etc. are fair game for unlimited purchase.

 

Thanks for the clarity @jemwilson !

 

gonna be in LA this summer for work..defintely plan on heading to venice to hit this place up

 

Anyone know if Parabajava bottles are still available?

 

Brewery store phone number
(310) 740-9060

 

Someone should change the name of this thread from "Firestone Venice Brewery" to "Parabajava Bottles Updates"

 

they should just set up a site www.isparabajavaavailable.com
similar to http://isabevigodadead.com/

 

This should be the answer from now on whenever people ask about stock at any brewery or store. Just call the damn place.

 

True....but I'd hate to be that person answering the phone every 5 minutes.

 

But.......it's also kind of their job

 

Yea, but every 5 minutes? I know it's part of their job. I guess if you like to talk on the phone a lot then thats cool. But most peeps text these days. I guess that would be fun to text all day long?
