. @SupJaniceHahn - I'm sure you've heard from many of us calling for the @LACountyBOS to #SaveLABrewers. Just wanted to tell you that your district has nearly 30 breweries in it and the south bay has been the backbone of our brewing community for many years.

It took a long time for the rest of the county to embrace the growth of craft brewing, and our allies at @TorranceChamber @lomitachamber @SanPedroChamber to name a few can attest to the value our businesses bring to the region. We need your help @SupJaniceHahn.

Let's take a look at @BrouwerijWest. Located in the huge @CRAFTEDportla complex, they are sitting on tons of outdoor space & still cannot operate for outdoor dining. There have been small businesses inside Crafted who have had to vacate due to less people visiting the area.

In nearby Hawthorne, @commonspaceLA & @LAaleworks have both made the effort to create vast outdoor dining areas and had elected to support pop-up food vendors who don't have retail spaces of their own. These businesses lost out when we were closed down again w/ no notice.

Seeing crowded sidewalks with outdoor diners then looking at our large open spaces that many have already paid the ABC to obtain expanded premise permits, has s feeling extra defeated. Not being able to work with food trucks & vendors who are also hurting adds salt to the wound.

Please hear us. We want to collaborate, keep people safe, but also recognize that our brewery tasting rooms are truly unique businesses that primarily operate in earlier hours, are family-friendly, and have worked hand-in-hand w/ food vendors for years.
