LETTERSGet sources straight
I am writing to you regarding the article, "Thoughts on Westwood
Village Business" in your July 21-27 issue.
Mr. Harwin reported the following statement, "An inside source
has it that Westwood Brewing Company would already be out of
business if it wasn’t owned by a major condiment company …"
This statement is not true.
Westwood Brewing Company is owned by a group of independent
investors, the largest of which is a retired engineer.
Thanks to tremendous support from UCLA students, the area
residents and business people, we are a thriving Westwood business.
We are not going "out of business;" on the contrary, we look to our
future in Westwood with both excitement and optimism.
It is clear that Mr. Harwin’s "inside source" is misinformed. I
understand that Mr. Harwin is a student, still learning his
journalistic craft, but if he is irresponsible about what he
reports, he can unfairly hurt people or businesses. He should
verify his facts.

Vice President of Operations
