We need your help!
Our Palmdale Taproom is closed once again! We had re-opened it in July for to-go sales only because we wanted all of our Palmdale fans to be able to get their beer easily from us. We made the difficult decision a few weeks ago to close it temporarily and direct all sales to our Lancaster Blvd location.
If you remember, the County shut down our Palmdale Taproom back in July.
As of today, September 10th, Los Angeles County is the ONLY county where brewery taprooms are not allowed to partner with third-party food vendors to provide meals for outdoor on-site dining and be treated like a restaurant.
Which means that any LA County Brewery that does not have an on-site kitchen, is CLOSED for onsite sales and is only allowed to be open for to-go. (which is over 70 breweries!)
While our Lancaster restaurant is allowed to be open for outside dining, our Palmdale Taproom has restrictions for the public because we do NOT have a kitchen onsite there.
For most breweries, their livelihood is contingent upon being able to serve directly to consumer. We have been trying to work with the County to update their rules so that they are aligned with the rest of the state so that taprooms can open as restaurants during this time.
Please help us by reaching out to the LA County Board of Supervisors (who is in charge of this decision) to help them understand the impact on small businesses like ours and throughout LA County.
The Los Angeles Brewers Guild has put together a fantastic compilation of all of the resources you will need to help reach out to your district supervisors! Check out their blog post that gives a little more background on what LA Breweries have endured this year! -----> SAVE LA BEER
