It's new to you, but I actually had my first contact with Los Angeles Ale Works about a year and a half ago. They're less than a week away from the end of an already successful Kickstarter campaign, and their new stretch goal is to add an extra fermenter to get up and running.

Some you've probably heard of before - Craftsman was one of the first in the area, brewing in Pasadena since 1995 - and others so new they're trying to launch and grow via Kickstarter campaigns. (Read More)
