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.
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.
