We are looking to building a fun and relaxing tasting room in Boyle Heights, near Downtown Los Angeles.
Indie Brewing Company is four guys looking to make it in the world of beer and they want to take you along for the ride. Indie, short for independent, not Indiana (nothing against Indiana, we hear it is a wonderful place), is how we came to our brewery. We all left stable jobs, sticking it to “the man” and going out to create something awesome. We have been producing and selling beer since November 2015 (maybe you’ve had a pint already) and have really enjoyed being able to focus on our beers and customers. Now, we are aching to build a community that surrounds Indie beer.
This is why we need you.
Our next step is creating an awesome place where you can come hang out with us. Yes, that means a tasting room. To help ease this transition, we are looking to Kickstarter to fund some of our build-out.
This is not just any tasting room…this is your tasting room. WTF does that mean? Well, that means that you get a say in what goes on. We want to hear from you, so any pledge adds you to the group of advisors that will craft the Indie tasting room experience.
Enough about us. Kickstarter isn’t a one-way street, so you get something awesome for joining the ride.
Every reward level comes with one invite to the Kickstarter backer-only party. Only people who back this project will be invited and it will be an awesome time!

While we would be super-stoked to reach this funding goal, it is always fun to reach for the stars. So, if we reach some additional milestones, we will buy something awesome for the tap room and unlock new Kickstarter rewards:
Reward Fulfillment
We are reliant on other companies to produce your rewards. While we have done a significant amount of research, there is the possibility that an item will be unavailable or not arrive in a timely fashion. Know that we will do whatever it takes to get it right and exceed your expectations. If anything is delayed or changing, we will let you know right away.
Build-Out
Construction, especially in a city as large as Los Angeles, can be a long and difficult process. We already did this once with the initial brewery build so are prepared when it comes to the tasting room build. We are already in the plan submission phase with the city and expect construction to be finished by the end of the year. We will update you on the progress, so as soon as we know something, you will be the second to know (because if you knew before us that would be weird).
