South LA could be in the midst of a Black-owned brewery boom in 2021. The forthcoming South Los Angeles Beverage Company will debut its tasting room and business incubator, as well as a production and packaging facility in Florence next year. Barring any coronavirus-related delays, South Los Angeles Beverage Company will be the second Black-owned brewery in South LA, joining Crowns & Hops , which plans to open in Inglewood. South Los Angeles Beverage Company will produce beer, cider, wine, and coffee out of its 24,000 square foot facility. Founders Craig Bowers and Samuel Chawinga designed a tasting room where most of its seating is outdoors. There’s also enough space for food vendors to setup shop, too.

On September 26th, the brewery will launch its first beer label, People’s Republic of South Central (PRSC) with 100% of net proceeds benefiting charitable initiatives in South Central Los Angeles.
