All Season Brewing Los Angeles: Miracle Mile's Bar-First Craft Brewery in a Historic Firestone Landmark

All Season Brewing Company sits at 800 S. La Brea Avenue in Los Angeles's Miracle Mile—inside a 1937 Streamline Moderne Firestone Tire and Service Center that operated for nearly 80 years before closing in 2015. When the boarded-up landmark was handed over to Pouring With Heart—the hospitality group behind The Varnish, Seven Grand, and dozens of LA bars—the result was not a typical craft brewery. All Season opened in February 2021 as a bar first: a drinking place that happens to brew its own beer, with a full cocktail program, wine, house-made ginger beer, and Chica's Tacos on-site. The 15-barrel brewhouse is visible behind glass, but the draw is the space itself—a preserved automotive landmark turned neighborhood hangout, where crushable American-style beers share the menu with Tommy's Margaritas and Skee-Ball. For LA, a city often accused of having no history, All Season is a case study in adaptive reuse, hospitality-first brewing, and the idea that the best breweries sometimes succeed by not acting like breweries at all.

The Building: From Firestone to Foam

The Firestone Tire and Service Center at La Brea and 9th Street is a prototype of Machine Age design. Built in 1937, it features low horizontal lines, curved edges, a cantilevered overhang, porcelain-enameled steel panels, and a radiant Firestone sign—all conveying speed, precision, and efficiency. The building was designated a Historic-Cultural Monument in 2012. When Firestone closed in 2015, the structure sat vacant. Neighbors and preservationists worried about its fate.

In 2019, Pouring With Heart announced plans to convert the 13,000-square-foot space into a brewpub. The pandemic delayed the opening, but in February 2021—March by some accounts—All Season Brewing rolled open its garage doors. The adaptive reuse project adhered to the Secretary of the Interior Standards, using period materials and fixtures. In 2023, the LA Conservancy awarded All Season Brewing/Firestone Tire and Service Center a Preservation Award for its sensitive rehabilitation. The Windsor Square Hancock Park Historical Society gave it a landmark award for interior design and overall restoration.

Matt Winter of M Winter Design, a third-generation Angeleno and vintage car restorer, led the design. He had photographed the building as a teenager when he brought his hot rods there; in 2017 he returned to document every detail before the renovation. His goal: respect and save as much of the original building as possible. Old car parts from the garage's crawl spaces went on the walls. Banquettes were designed to resemble 1930s truck benches. The driveway became a spacious outdoor patio. The original Firestone neon sign remains atop the building but stays unlit—Firestone Complete Auto Care and Firestone Walker Brewing both exist, so lighting it would cause confusion. Instead, an "All Season Brewing" neon sign hangs from the roofline. Winter replicated exterior porcelain panels, walnut-shell blasted the ceilings, and mixed red paint into new concrete to match the original floors when the preservation board wouldn't allow digging them up. The result is a space that feels like a time capsule without feeling kitschy—automotive heritage as atmosphere, not theme-park nostalgia.

Ownership: Pouring With Heart and the LA Bar Empire

All Season Brewing is owned and operated by Pouring With Heart (formerly 213 Hospitality), the hospitality group founded by Cedd Moses. Moses helped revitalize Downtown Los Angeles, transforming historic buildings into bars and restaurants. His portfolio includes The Varnish (a Tales of the Cocktail award winner that closed in 2024 after 15 years), Seven Grand (a 300-bottle whiskey bar), Casey's Irish Pub, Caña Rum Bar, Golden Gopher, and Imperial Western Beer Co.—the brewery inside Union Station that All Season's head brewer helped open. NBC Los Angeles identified the All Season team as Cedd Moses, Eric Needleman, and Brian Lenzo (Pouring With Heart and Blue Palms Brewhouse). The pedigree is cocktails and nightlife first; beer is an extension of that world.

That explains All Season's positioning. It is not a brewery that added a bar. It is a bar—with cocktails, wine, food, games, and a patio—that added a brewery. The model inverts the usual craft narrative: instead of "come for the beer, stay for the vibe," it's "come for the vibe, the beer is part of it." For a hospitality group with deep roots in LA's cocktail scene, that makes sense. Beer becomes another lever in a multi-beverage, experience-driven venue.

The Beer: Reliability Over Revolution

All Season's brewing philosophy is explicit: "In the spirit of reliability over revolution, we tend to focus on tried and true, classic American-style beers." Head Brewer Erick Garcia—who started homebrewing in 2006, attended the American Brewers Guild Craft Brewers Apprenticeship in 2011, and spent seven years at Eagle Rock Brewery before joining Pouring With Heart to open Imperial Western Beer Co.—brings over a decade of professional experience. He earned a bronze medal at the Great American Beer Festival in the IPA category. At All Season, he brews "crushable," "crowd-pleasing" beers: American- and Italian-style pilsners, hoppy IPAs like the citrus-and-floral Bullitt IPA ($8 pint), malt-centric lagers, and rustic saisons. The glass-encased 15-barrel brewhouse is visible from the bar, but the beer is not the star of the show. It is part of a larger experience—balanced, approachable, and built for repeat visits rather than Untappd check-ins.

That philosophy fits the venue. A landmark tire shop turned neighborhood bar does not need barrel-aged stouts or hazy double IPAs to draw crowds. It needs beers that pair with tacos, that go down easy on a Tuesday, and that give cocktail drinkers something solid when they want a pint. All Season delivers that.

The Venue: Bar, Tacos, Skee-Ball, Trivia

All Season is designed for everyday drinkers. The blurred indoor-outdoor space includes arcade games, a photobooth, and communal seating. Chica's Tacos operates in-house—steak tacos, jackfruit tacos, chipotle BBQ chicken pizza, nachos. Draft cocktails—Tommy's Margarita, Mezcal Palomas—share the menu with the beer list. The space is family-friendly until 7:00 PM, then 21+ only. Well-behaved pets are allowed on the patio. Trivia runs every Wednesday from 8:00 to 10:00 PM with prizes. Hours: Monday–Thursday 3 PM to midnight, Friday–Saturday noon to 2:00 AM, Sunday noon to midnight. Street parking and valet (after 5 PM) are available.

Why All Season Matters: Placemaking Over Product

All Season Brewing matters because it represents a different path for craft beer in a crowded market. LA has hundreds of breweries. Standing out on beer alone is hard. All Season stands out on place: a historic Firestone building, a hospitality group with a track record of turning landmarks into destinations, and a "bar first" identity that broadens the audience. Beer enthusiasts get quality beer from a GABF-medal brewer. Cocktail drinkers get a full bar. Families get an early-evening hangout. Late-night crowds get a 2 AM close on weekends. Everyone gets a piece of LA history that was almost lost.

The synthesis is this: All Season is not trying to be the most innovative brewery in Los Angeles. It is trying to be a great neighborhood bar that happens to brew its own beer in a building that deserves to be saved. In a city maligned for having no history, that is a form of innovation—placemaking through preservation, hospitality through humility. The beer is good. The building is better. The combination is what makes All Season worth a visit.
