DOWNTOWN— Blogdowntown shares additional updates on The Los Angeles Brewing Company, slated open within The Chapman Flats next month. Before even getting to the beer and food situation, let's discuss the "dog check." Yeah, like a coat check, but for dogs. Meet dog-loving proprietor Ralph Verdugo (no relation to Verdugo in Glassell Park), who "plans to feature a ten-foot-by-ten-foot gated lawn area near the front entrance for a 'dog check.' 'Someone will give you a ticket, you give us your dog and go inside and have a good time.'" Interesting. Meanwhile, expect 100 beers on tap served 22 degrees, alongside a roster of American eats created by "a celebrity chef." Upstairs Verdugo will also install another bar offering seasonal fresh fruit cocktails. [blogdowntown]
