★ Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

Highland Park Brewery was founded in June 2014 by Bob and Tiffany Kunz together with co-owner Ross Stevenson, in a small back room of a neighborhood bar on York Boulevard in the Highland Park district of Los Angeles. It started on a seven-barrel brewhouse, and that first space still runs as a production site. In 2018 a second brewhouse with the taproom opened in Chinatown, across from Los Angeles State Historic Park. The range spans West Coast and hazy IPAs, lagers, imperial stouts and mixed-fermentation beers.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
