For starters, it is rapidly growing, with plans of increasing its production by double in 2014, which is fantastic given Los Angeles' brewing history. You see, the California craft brew world has been historically dominated by San Diego, but with Golden Road and other local breweries coming into their own (such as Angel City and Smog City Brewing, to name a few), Los Angeles might finally give its little brother to the south a run for its money.

Which is why BuzzFeed decided to visit the brewery and find out the exact recipe for success. On a warm Wednesday morning, even by Los Angeles standards, founders Tony Yanow and Meg Gill let us into the brewery, revealing what a brewery looks like as they put their mark on the map while on the cusp of ale-soaked stardom.
