Brouwerij West Navigates Community Concerns and Permits

By Terelle Jerricks, Managing Editor

Brouwerij West may finally get to shed its gypsy brewer status this summer, if it can just get past the objections of its northern neighbors about hours of operation.

Crafted at Port of Los Angeles hosted a community meeting to answer questions and assuage resident concerns May 27.

Residents attending a May 7 zoning hearing opposed Crafted’s master conditional-use permit application, which would have added live entertainment that could go from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. for the entire property. They feared that venue which could stage live entertainment events between the two warehouses would disturb the typically quiet neighborhood.

Residents on the northern hillside who raised objection have been quoted as saying they only want to preserve their quality of life.

Rachel Sindelar, director of Crafted reportedly said that the early opening hour listed on the application would be to accommodate a future coffee bar operation.

The idea is to turn the warehouse into a full-scale production brewery with a bottling line, a full service restaurant and dining area in the courtyard space between their space and Crafted’s. In all, Brouwerij will occupy more than 7,500 of the 60,000 square feet available in Warehouse No. 9. There will be 15,370 square feet of common area seating within the market.

Crafted’s plans calls for Off the Vine, a farmers market and a space for community kitchen classes in the warehouse.
