Preferably in the Valley but any where in LA is fine.

Thoughts? Sun Apr 05 23:18:30 -0700 2009 4565701 10366 Jerome 2 4571389 Westwood Brew Co. hasn't brewed it's own beer for a long long time now; btw, it's coverting to a full bbq menu today.

HOPEFULLY we'll be seeing more of them in the near future, but for now, they're hard to come by.
