Leisuretown is Modern Times’ most ambitious project yet on the retail side. In conjunction with the Lab Group –Orange County’s premier property redevelopers –we're bringing to life a large brewery surrounded by an outdoor two-story beer garden, restaurant, lounge pool, and multiple private event spaces.

The brewery at Leisuretown will focus on draft-only production of the company’s most popular core and seasonal products. At 8000 barrels, this brewery volume will be distributed primarily to Stone Distributing’s LA warehouse just 20 miles away in Downey, CA. This will allow us to finally catch up to demand on brands like Orderville and Space Ways, which consistently are hit with out-of-stocks at our #1 distributor.

Leisuretown will be Modern Times’ opportunity to finally capitalize on an emerging events portion of its business. No current tasting room has the capacity to host private events without closing (despite regular inquiries). The Burns House, featured here, is a completely restored two-story craftsman house which will be available for events large and small.
