It is the hottest place in Downtown Los Angeles. Smokin hot.
A former bank building in the heart of the City of Angels is about to swing open its doors with the swish of a beer can, some of the most amazing tapas, an incredible ambiance and a staff that will help navigate you through more than 100 of the world’s most sought after beers, lagers, and malts.
The LOS ANGELES BREWING COMPANY is nestled at 8th and Broadway on the ground floor of The Chapman, which once housed the first offices for Bank of America.
It is swank cool. Lots of marble and glass work. Wide screen TV’s to watch the Lakers and Dodgers, it is the perfect ambience.
Owner Ralph Verdugo is banking on a steady packed crowd of Downtown LA dwellers to make this their new “best place to hang” for lunch, after work, for dinner, and well anytime you taste buds are thirsty.
The L.A. Brewing Company has beer. Lots of amazing beer, but it also has an incredible menu that was created by Executive Chef Carlos Garcia, a native Angeleno who has a growing reputation in the twisted world of picky, uptight chefs here in the sometimes stiff world around us along the Harbor Freeway.
Garcia is the former Executive Chef with the renowned Grille 91 located inside the Cerritos Sheraton Hotel, right next to the world famous Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts.
While Verdugo has built the “perfect” new “hangout” with one of the most amazing interiors, and a stunning bar and just makes you want to pull up a stool and literally stay for hours.

Get the picture? Los Angeles Brewing Company is just plain cool.

Chef Carlos Garcia and Owner Ralph Verdugo are the new “Batman” and “Superman” of the culinary world of Downtown LA.

Menu offering include steaks, burgers, salads, an 8 Hour Vegetarian Bolognese, Beef Ragout, Pacific Rock Fish and Chips, Kansas City NY Strips, Southern Fried Chicken.
Garcia has also a daily “Staff Meal” that will allow diners the opportunity to “eat with the staff eats.” Clever, and trust me, this Chef knows what his staff craves.
Look for Downtown “dog” lovers to have a “spot” at LA Brewing Company. Yap, the joint plans to feature a 10 x 10 gated area for your pooch while you dine and play.
So, WELCOME to the hood. This place is a winner.
Los Angeles Brewing Company, 730 S. Broadway, Los Angeles, 90014. Phone (213) 622-0500.

Meet Randy Economy

You may know me from my role as the Senior Advisor and Official Media Spokesman for the Recall Gavin Newsom campaign that established a worldwide blitz of interviews. I conducted more than 2,200 media interviews on behalf of “The People’s Recall” during a 10-month period from November 2020 to September 2021. The iconic magazine Mother Jones in a dramatic feature article called me “A ‘Superhero Pirate’ Radio Host, (and) Gavin Newsom’s Strangest—and Most Dangerous—Threat. Meet Randy Economy, the man behind the effort to recall California’s governor.” I appeared on more than 330 media outlets around the world in my capacity with RecallGavin2020. Fox News, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax, NBC Nightly News, ABC News, as well as the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, Politico, and dozens of other media outlets aired featured reports on my work on behalf of “The People’s Recall.” I am and will always consider myself to be a journalist. Sometimes I think I bleed ink. My talents as an Investigative Journalists in California earned me FIVE top awards from the prestigious Los Angeles Press Club in 2013, 2014, and 2016. I am tenacious. My reporting over the years has led to the prosecution of several elected officials in California. While working for a tiny community newspaper in Southeast Los Angeles County, I worked doggedly to expose the biggest public corruption case in Los Angeles County history when I unearthed a massive pay to play scheme inside the Assessor’s Office that led to the arrest of then Assessor John R. Noguez and four others. However, politics has been in my DNA since I was a child. I have worked on more than 300 political campaigns as a consultant and advisor since 1982 for candidates from all sides of the political spectrum including Democrats and Republicans, and even Libertarians. I am also a small business owner, serving as the President and CEO of Hot Water Studio & Production, LLC. My company works with media outlets across the state, nation, and world exposing public corruption via several new media platforms. I have also overcome personal challenges. I am legally blind with zero vision in my right eye and only 40 percent vision remaining in my left eye. I sometimes wear an eyepatch due to my failed vision. (Hence the nickname of “America’s Political Pirate.”
