I don't remember if this was already covered here on this thread, but the brewery was originally the site of El Aliso (for which Aliso Street was named) a 400-year-old, six-story-high sycamore tree under which the Tongva native American tribe leaders would gather for conferences. It was also known as the "council tree." Yangna, of course, was the name of the Tongva village before the Spaniards arrived.
