There’s a new ABC license application on the space at 1522 Abbot Kinney in Venice, formerly home to a matcha cafe.  The app lists the new business as a “small beer manufacturer” with the name of Honest Abe Cidery.  Honest Abe produces cider, mead, brandy, and sangria using “fresh and Local ingredients”, and shares a production facility with SoCal Vibes Co., which operates a brewery and restaurant in Carson that serves 40 different house beers, ciders, and meads, and offers a menu consisting of burgers, sandwiches, and small bites.  I’m not sure if the concept here will resemble that or not, so I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
