14 Cannons Brewery and Showroom recently opened at 31125 Via Colinas, Suite 907 in Westlake Village. In addition to serving up its own craft brews, 14 Cannons is the first ever brewery building showroom, featuring vendor equipment for others looking to build their own brewery!
According to the 14 Cannons website, "The name of the brewery traces back to roots of the owner and builder, Marshall Haraden. His great-great-great uncle was Jonathan Haraden, commander of the 1776 tyrant killing ship, Tyrannicide. “Tyrannicide was a 14-gun brigantine-rigged sloop of the Massachusetts State Navy. The ship was built for the American Revolutionary War.” From this patriotic lineage, the name of the brewery and flagship beer were born."
Beers on tap include Bestlake Blonde, Pale Ale, Spice Island Chai Tea Brown Ale, Tyrannicide IPA and Weathered Sail Nitro Coffee Stout.
Visit www.14cannons.com or call 818.6752.6971 for more information.
The brewery has been open several weeks but will be hosting a Grand Opening Party on October 7th from noon to 11pm. Free admission with RSVP at www.eventbrite.com/e/grand-opening-celebration-tickets-37959740606.
Blair Breger of Thousand Oaks drove by and witnessed it...a Jersey Mike's Subs sign was being placed in the former Round Table Pizza location next to P & L Burger at the Oakbrook Plaza in Thousand Oaks (2000 E. Avenida de Los Arboles). No word yet on specific timing, though the Jersey Mike's website says "Scheduled to Open Soon."
Jersey Mike's appears to be doing well in the Conejo Valley, opening another Thousand Oaks location on the hills of opening a 2nd Newbury Park location in late July of this year.
Update 9/30/17: Slated opening date is late Spring 2018.
Update 7/2/17: Final plans in place for the new dog park. It will open in late fall 2017. On-street parking along Oak Crest Drive will be available for approximately 25 cars. More details at www.wlv.org/index.aspx?nid=420.
Posted 9/2/16: In April 2016, the City of Westlake Village City Council approved a plan to design and construct a dog park on a 1.19 acre city-owned parcel at the southwest corner of Oak Crest Drive and Agoura Road.
Oak Crest Drive and Agoura Road actually happens twice. This intersection is the one closer to Lindero Canyon (the other one is at City Hall).
Dog park is slated to go in at the southwest corner of Agoura Road and Oak Creek Drive in 2017.
The plan is for a 14,160 sq ft small dog area and 18,120 sq ft large dog area with separate entrances. Other features include natural turf, pet washing stations, seating, drinking fountains, trash and pet waste receptacles and security lighting.
The total budget is $830,300 and the project is scheduled to begin in February 2017.
Those driving in the vicinity of Wendy Drive and Academy Drive in Newbury Park will see the grading taking place at the northwest corner of Grande Vista Drive and Academy Drive. This will be the home of a Lowe's and an LA Fitness when the dust has settled and the construction is complete, sometime late next year.
Urban Pizza, one of the many newer "design your own" pizza places* that have opened in the Conejo Valley in recent years, has closed its doors. This local eatery near Trader Joe's in the North Ranch Mall originally opened in April 2015. The Simi Valley location has also closed its doors.
* Lot and lots of new pizza places in recent years...Pieology, MOD Pizza, PizzaRev, Pitfire Pizza, Blaze Pizza. Battle of the make your own pizzas!
