Key Takeaways

  • Common Space Brewery is enlarging its footprint with a new taproom in Highland Park slated for a 2026 opening
  • The taproom will have a beer garden, a kitchen, and community programming designed to connect with the neighborhood
  • The core of production remains Hawthorne, while Highland Park allows the brewery to serve more of Los Angeles

Common Space Brewery will be growing its presence and adding another taproom in LA. Following on its reputation for award-winning beers and a friendly environment, the taproom brings its “Beer for All” philosophy to Highland Park. The new move represents not only its steady expansion since 2018, but also its desire to build community in a way that pairs exceptional beer with ”meaningful connections.”

In a press release, Common Space Brewery revealed that the Highland Park taproom will feature a large beer garden with indoor and outdoor seating, and a kitchen serving a variety of crowd pleasing dishes. Designed as a gathering place for friends and families, it will also host trivia, sports games and community events – all staples of Common Space’s welcoming atmosphere.

Building on nearly a decade of success in Hawthorne, the Highland Park location will bring the same “Beer for All” ethos to the Eastside – complete with Common Space’s signature lineup of German-style lagers, IPAs, small-batch releases, and community-driven events.

“We’ve always believed that great beer brings people together,” said Kushal Hall, Director of Operations. “Highland Park has such a great vibe and neighborhood pride. We couldn’t be more excited to have it be the next home of Common Space.”

The Hawthorne production brewery and taproom will continue to serve as the heart of operations, while the Highland Park beer garden and kitchen expands Common Space’s reach and accessibility to beer lovers across Los Angeles.
