It’s no secret that the LA craft beer scene is exploding. With new breweries, beer bars, and bottle shops opening up all the time all around Los Angeles, it can be pretty tough to keep up. Not any longer!
Here is your guide to the newest craft beer openings in Los Angeles.
Next door to Stout Burgers and Beer in Hollywood, Stout Bottle Shop is a bottle and can store with 1000-plus varieties of beer. They have a cellar featuring barrel-aged stouts, hard-to-find sours, and all kinds of fresh lagers and IPAs. They’ll also give you 10% off your purchase with a receipt from any Stout location.

73 Pier Ave, Hermosa Beach, CA 90254 A brand-new brewery located in Anaheim, Rad Beer Co. is led by partner and head brewer Dylan Mobley, who formerly held the same position at Bottle Logic. The brewery, which says they’re looking to embrace the aesthetic of a ‘90s Southern California skate shop, debuted in mid-May with six house-brewed taps, including King Minutiae (a German pilsner), Cloud Bottom (a hazy IPA), American Export (an export stout), and Fiesta Salchicha (a Mexican Lager). They eventually plan to fill all 20 of their taps with their own beer.
