Bar Homage

Down by the LA River, a Boozy Fermentation Hub Is Bubbling Up | Eater LA

"I found Homage Brewing focused on low-acidity, balanced beers in the Belgian lambic style, with DJ nights and a Mexican-leaning food menu from chef Jasmine Ramirez that complements the taproom vibe. Owner Matthew Garcia — who moved the business from Pomona to this industrial zone for more affordable, permissive zoning — is intentional about community outreach, hiring locally, and developing a program to teach brewing skills to neighborhood residents. Homage also collaborates with nearby breweries (they’re releasing a Masumotopeach beer with Highland Park Brewery) as part of a grassroots effort to grow the local beer scene." - Emily J. Wilson
