The arrival of Border X Brewing with its grand opening in Bell, California, just a couple of weeks ago marked an L.A. area debut for the Barrio Logan craft brewers. The San Diego-bred brewery is known for signature beers that incorporate Mexican flavors and ingredients into traditional European styles such as gose, saison, German and Belgian wheat beers, as well as a range of more familiar lagers and ales. Independently owned and operated by David Favela and some family members, Border X brews inventive and nuanced beers that challenge our perceptions of the kinds of hop-forward, sometimes palate-killing West Coast-style double IPA beers that put San Diego craft brewing on the map years ago.
