L.A. Brewers Make Pledge For Your Safety – Updated

After over 10 weeks of Safer-At-Home restrictions which have shuttered our tap rooms and restaurants to on-premise consumption, the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has announced that the State of California has approved their plans for moving deeper into phase 2 of the California’s 4-phase Road to Recovery. While we have missed seeing all of your faces enjoying our beers in our tap rooms, we have understood the necessity of being in line with these COVID-19 regulations as a means to help flatten the curve and protect our communities. As our ability to reopen our businesses returns, please note that not all businesses will open at the same time and we urge you to remain patient while our brewery members make the extra effort to ensure the safety of our teams and of our amazing guests.

Members of the Los Angeles County Brewers Guild have taken the pledge to continue to operate with the utmost diligence and care. We have been  fortunate to be able to offer take-out and delivery during this period of isolation and so we have already been on top of many of these safety standards. Our pledge to you, our craft beer supporters, allies, and friends, is to be transparent and compliant in all of the required sanitation, distancing, and safety protocols put in place by our various regulatory bodies.

We pledge to: 

• Continue to operate with full sanitation and food safety guidelines.
• Clean & sanitize all high-traffic & high-touch surfaces.
• Sanitize all guest areas frequently (such as tables after every guest)
• Adhere to social distancing guidelines both indoors and outdoors.
• Make hand-washing areas available to all guests.
• Screen all employees for symptoms before every shift.
• Provide personal protective equipment to all staff & require use at all times.

What we ask of YOU: 

• Maintain 6ft of social distancing between you and other guests (who is not in your party)
• Wear masks and other acceptable facial coverings when you are not seated or when you are waiting in line. *This is a statewide mandate. *
• Do not congregate in groups or linger between tables if you are not in that party.
• If you feel ill or have symptoms of COVID-19 — please stay home!
• Please be patient as many of us work out the best ways to serve you safely.
  

We know that our tap room experiences will not be back to “normal” for quite some time. This is all uncharted territory for us and as small business owners, we truly appreciate the support and patience as we work through how to best handle this situation. One item of note however, is a new (temporary) regulation put in place in order for us to be allowed to reopen.

As of June 19th, the mandated meal requirement in order to purchase beer is no longer in effect. You are now able to join us for a pint without purchasing food first. Please still abide by the rules each brewery sets as these rules are meant to protect both you and our staff.

Check back soon for further details on which tap rooms will be resuming on-site consumption and dining-in. In the meantime, you can still reference our L.A. Beer Now Guide for To-Go Beers and Delivery options if you’re looking for a weekend beer-run or would rather imbibe our brews safely in the comfort of your own homes.

Here is a running list of scheduled re-openings (*note: we may not have ALL the information from every single brewery all in real-time, so please bear with us while we obtain confirmation from our members. If you see someone who is open missing on this list, feel free to drop their name in the comments below*) UPDATED: 6/25/2020

Thank you for your support!
