Boston Beer Company, the parent of Angel City Brewing in the Arts District, has announced it won't be renewing the Angel City lease when it ends in April 2026, after which the property will be sold.
Meanwhile, operations at Truly LA Tasting Room, the nearby venue named after the canned hard seltzer brand and also owned by Boston Beer, will slowly be reduced to Friday and Saturday service only by December, with the space after that being repurposed for rental use.
It’s possible that whoever buys the Angel City property will continue to operate the business, but that's up in the air.
"While Angel City Brewery has been doing well, the brand no longer lines up with our long-term growth strategy," Boston Beer Company said in a statement. "Our overall strategy at Boston Beer is to focus on growing our core, national brands," which includes their flagship beer, Sam Adams.

The craft beer venue opened in 2013, becoming a popular destination in the Arts District, not only for its craft beers, but for its hosting of local community events.
It's located at the corner of Alameda Street and Traction Avenue, inside the historic John A. Roebling’s Sons Co. building, which dates back to 1913. It served as the West Coast headquarters of the manufacturer, which made steel cables and wire rope for landmark construction projects like the Brooklyn Bridge, the Golden Gate Bridge, and the Vincent Thomas Bridge in San Pedro.

The company said it plans to transfer as many Truly LA employees as possible to the Angel City Brewery team for the duration of the lease.
