ABOUT COMMON SPACE

We believe that we're all more similar than different and beer has the power to help us all find a Common Space.

We started Common Space in 2016 in Hawthorne, CA with the simple goal of improving the lives of others. As a small business, we take pride in everything we do from brewing quality beer to delivering an awesome virtual experience.
