USA, CA: Boston Beer to �phase out� operations in Los Angeles

The Boston Beer Co is set to “phase out” its operations in Los Angeles, including the Truly LA taproom and Angel City Brewery.

In a statement on August 7, the Samuel Adams owner said it will “gradually slow down” Truly LA’s operations over the coming months, with the site moving to Friday and Saturday service only by year-end. The space will then be repurposed for overflow and rental use.

The Boston-headquartered company added it will work to reassign as many Truly LA employees as possible to Angel City, while seeking a buyer for the brand and location before its lease expires in April 2026.

Despite noting Angel City Brewery is “doing well”, Boston Beer said the brand “no longer lines up with our long-term growth strategy”.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that Boston Beer CEO Michael Spillane will step down from the role this month to focus on “important personal matters”.
