11. Water was good in L.A. when it was all Eastern Sierra, as stolen by Mulholland.

Dregs of the Colorado river and groundwater contaminated by industry, oil and gas wells, not so good...

I remember Brew 102, downtown.

Rumor is they once found the body of a worker who'd drowned in the brew... long after it had been sold and consumed.

Had they known, maybe they could have relabeled it "Vampira" or "Cannibal" and sold it at a premium to bloodsucking film and music producers or real estate developers.
