The Los Angeles County Brewers Guild partnered with a team from the UCLA Applied Research Department to commission an economic impact analysis report detailing the contributions of local, small, and independent craft breweries within our region. The study was conducted from October 2017 and concluded with a presentation in March 2018. This hyper-localized report is the most comprehensive data our region has been able to compile in L.A. beer’s short history.
