Wiretap Brewing is coming to Los Angeles very soon. They are a small artisan craft brewery, that will be located in the Arroyo Seco/Cornfield area just north of DTLA.
They have an informative blog post concerning their search for a location. At the very end, Adam and Matt say some nice things about me. (see below). Thanks guys!

[2] If you're in the LA area we were fortunate to run into Mike Lanzarotta with NAI Capital. He's been a commercial broker for the last half decade and prior to that spent 20 years running a brewery called Crown City Brewing. Which, if you're from around the San Gabriel Valley should resonate. If you're a newcomer to the area then the current home of Congregation Ale House at Del Mar and Raymond in Pasadena has a nice tribute to Crown City inside (the former tenant). You should use a broker and using one who has experience on both sides of the equation and has so far found space for a lot of startup breweries means that things like nuances with cities, zoning, and various people you should talk to come as part of the expertise. If you want Mike's info send us an email.
