While a few of their beers are being produced for distribution year-round in the city, the taproom is how they intend to extend a true welcome to their community. Anchored in the front of the brewery, it nestles in among a warren of pillars with art deco ornamentation, ceramic angel statues, and a timber loft style mezzanine overlooking the aging barrels. Part Catholic church, part "Dusk 'Til Dawn" movie set, the scale and detail of the taproom makes a bold impression. "People tend to drag their friends in here," says Foerstner, "so we get all different levels of craft beer drinkers. We soft-launched back in January and we've been open part-time since." While they've already poured at festivals, put some product into market, and opened the doors of the brewery and taproom, Angel City has yet to make their presence fully known. So for the grand opening, or their final stab at a grand opening, they created a festival that might draw in the crowds they're hoping to connect with. "The Heritage Festival is our festival," says Foerstner, "We've had so many false starts at a grand opening that we decided we can't call this our grand opening. We've gotta call it something else. So Alan and Stacey called it the Heritage Festival and it'll be here in the brewery, on the grounds with food trucks and a gospel choir. We have a bunch of old church pews and whatnot. It's quite fitting."
