Blackbeard's Crafts

places/ChIJizEkU3G7woARbItwaxgvKv0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNnbG83ZzNBRRAB

There are many beer establishments out there. So how does one stand out? Does it have a wide variety? Is it catering to beer people? Is it having a unified theme? Really there are many different things that make a good beer store and thankfully Blackbeard's has all these and a lot more. Highly encourage you to swing by and see what you can find. It's worth the visit,

I’m sure the beer is great but the person working in their store denying me any help when I got locked out of my car when I simply asked to use a a rack from their shelf to open my door and I would return it instantly. His attitude towards me about it saying that his boss wasn’t there and there’s nothing he could do just seems like absolute BS very terrible customer service as I was definitely going to buy some beer.  Any way.  Zero stars for being kind or supportive to one of the locals.

Even if it wasn’t pirate themed it would get 5 stars. Always have a variety of fun alcohols stocked and each member of the staff I have encountered has been kind and patient. Patient because most times when I am checking out I see another thing I want. Never felt rushed either.

places/ChIJizEkU3G7woARbItwaxgvKv0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURBbU5IQU9BEAE

Great place to shop for wine and liquor.  They have an eclectic inventory of Japanese sake as well as tasty beers.  The decoration is also very fun.

places/ChIJizEkU3G7woARbItwaxgvKv0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJaTlpN1RBEAE

Been to many beer stores across the country but this one is probably the most legit. Which speaks volumes to whoever does the buying because beer only takes up half the store and the place is smaller than a corner market. Tallboys, single cans, intriguing bottles, mead, kombucha, cider...it's all there. Just don't come looking for typical domestic bs and you won't be disappointed. Literally every other store can satisfy that need. Come to this place for an experience. No two visits will be the same.

Alchemy Craft

Place was closed when I went the first time but this time I got there when it was open and poppin! It was me with 10 friends and we got 4 pitchers with four different beers!! The pizza and pupusas to go with them was a perfect combo too.

places/ChIJ81LFciHRwoARHKKYjaipoxw/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUMta3B6QTR3RRAB

This place is a wonderful compliment to the entire BLVD MRKT concept. All good food needs great drinks, right?

They have an expansive variety of beers on tap. Whenever you visit, there is always something new to try. The samples are helpful, but the expert help is the best. In my experience, I have always been able to get answers to my questions and great descriptions of their offerings. A stop here will definitely put a smile of satisfaction on your face.

places/ChIJ81LFciHRwoARHKKYjaipoxw/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQtczZUa1NREAE

This is my favorite Tap room. They always have GREAT beer.

Bringing great breweries to your local neighborhood since I can’t always go out far.
Every Bartender is very knowledgeable and give really good recommendations!
Such a cool hangout place for beers and food

They always have cool events such as tap takeovers and wine Wednesdays I usually find out by following their instagram

Cheers!🍻

I got the Mexican Lollipop because I love Mexican candy 😅. I got it with the rim and while it was tasty, I didn't know the rim was extra and it was pretty expensive for the amount of alcohol there was.

Service was great. The staff members were really nice and took the time to go through the different beers they had.

There are some tables inside but a lot more outside because it's located inside the Blvd Market, which I really like. There's street parking around the market.

places/ChIJ81LFciHRwoARHKKYjaipoxw/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VQNjFtcjJwMi1ycFRREAE

Been here so many since they opened and they are a gem in montebello. Excellent beer, service and atmosphere. I will always come back here. 🙌

Audio Graph Beer Co.

places/ChIJCdS17cjHwoARJaPoZPIDJnQ/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT21ac05HZ3dMUzFVU1RObVYweHZUMDQwTVZaTVRVRRAB

Audiograph is a hidden little oasis downtown where you can get a cold beer from a friendly face.  You'll never have to wait long to be served and you won't have to fight anyone for a table or a seat.  They have special events some evenings (speed dating, stand up comedy, etc) but otherwise the environment is simultaneously relaxed and vibrant.  They have a decent variety of beers and they're all good.  Check out the seltzers if you want something a little lighter.  They don't serve food but they have never minded when I've brought in takeout from other local businesses or food trucks.

Special shout out to Christina and Dom, some of our favorite servers.

Don't miss Audiograph if you're downtown!

places/ChIJCdS17cjHwoARJaPoZPIDJnQ/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURvdXVpLVNnEAE

This brewery is very family-friendly, offers great parking, and has friendly staff, making it a welcoming place to appreciate these well-crafted beers. I enjoyed a classic German-style pilsner called LARS, which features a crisp malt profile and a balanced bitterness. I also tried LA Riders, a West Coast IPA with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit aromas!!

places/ChIJCdS17cjHwoARJaPoZPIDJnQ/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURuck91NHNBRRAB

A solid brewery in downtown LA with a great and chill vibe.

There’s a solid selection of beverages and lots of board games for socializing. A great spot to bring your friends.

I’d definitely come back here for a craft beer or other social events.

I visited Audio Graph Beer Co on a recent trip to L.A., and I was seriously impressed. It’s rare for me to enjoy every beer at a brewery, but every single one I tried here was fantastic. The variety, quality, and craftsmanship were top-notch. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly, making the experience even better. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming—just the kind of spot you want to kick back and enjoy a great beer. Highly recommend checking this place out!

I came this past Sunday for complimentary yoga by Audri and it was even more amazing than I’d imagined! The class changed my whole day— and this place is a well kept secret. It’s so charming, and the people who run it are great. If you go, you’re likely to meet them too 😊

We are biased (we’re visiting from Athens, GA) but we love the Creature LA taproom! I’ve been here for trivia and to simply enjoy the patio on a nice day — the vibes are comfortable, just like in Athens. We love it and would recommend to others looking for a great place to hang and drink good beer.

places/ChIJfaolCWLHwoAR-o-J0fVtOLc/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURIdk1yN2V3EAE

Nice place overall. I tried two IPA's, the Tropicália and Bigger Dreams. The Hazy Bigger Dreams is better, I would recommend. The surrounding area, not so good, but great vibe inside the plaza it's located in. I will return...Cheers!

Great selection of beers! I love the location with the spacious patio. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. The staff is friendly and helpful. Definitely worth a visit if you are in DTLA or in LA area!

places/ChIJfaolCWLHwoAR-o-J0fVtOLc/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNOaEszU0dBEAE

For sure five stars. From Athens, GA, Creature Comforts values quality ingredients and good customer service. A standout in LA, where the opposite is generally true. CC pours 5oz drafts, too, which is awesome. I tried the Classic City, Goed and Bobo, and Winter Trees. All excellent. Recommended. Worth the mission compared to most LA breweries. GO!

Tirebiter Brewery

I ordered the filet and asked for medium rare. I got what was probably skirt steak cooked to well done. Maybe I should have known for $25? The other food was good, though! Also, the beer was delicious, the atmosphere was laid back, and they played great music. I would come back (and order something else).

places/ChIJaTIQh4HHwoARIneRlUMZUw0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJcmhwZkNPLU1YeEJnEAE

Stopped here before a show at BMO Stadium. Parking was easy! The Hana Honey is probably my favorite beer from any brewery, soooooo good!! The Shoyu wings and fried pickles are delicious!! Totally worth coming for food alone but the beer options are also very good. It was empty when I arrived which was surprising after trying the beer and food.

places/ChIJaTIQh4HHwoARIneRlUMZUw0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNLamJyOUx3EAE

Really glad they're open! Great service and great beers. Out of all of them, their pilsner surprised me the most. Out of all the hazy ipas being produced by everyone, it's really nice to find a fantastic lager that anyone can drink. Don't get me wrong, I love hazys but the fact that this place produces a superb pilsner speaks volumes to their quality! Highly recommend! Take the expo or a bus to get here!

places/ChIJaTIQh4HHwoARIneRlUMZUw0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUMxdGN5RWtnRRAB

fyi to anybody planning on coming here the beer list is on the smaller side and the beer percentage is also on the lower side. i think the highest percent i saw was a 6% which in no way is a bad thing or a knock to them but we were looking for more options and stronger ones. other than that, the service was great and the waitress was very attentive. i'd visit in the future to try some of the food i saw on the menu which seems like this place is more of a date night so i'd be sure to visit under different circumstances. i'd also note that the restroom was extremely clean. lastly, the beer was good and there was really no complaints about this brewery.

Monkish Brewing Co.

places/ChIJD_mtNa1K3YARHX7kr7pPjp0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VKRFlfc0xjcDhiVDlnRRAB

Monkish has delicious beer! First visit here was just what I needed. Staff were welcoming and very knowledgeable. Their service speed was top notch and very attentive. I wish the tap list was a lot bigger, but honestly I attempted to try everything and I failed plus got drunk. Totally worth it, each beer was unique in a phenomenal way. Their inside was wide open and comfy place to chill, but the outside was the best. A random food business was set up outside the patio fence, they had amazing tacos. This is one of my favorite places to chill before hitting up the airport. Overall if you love beer come here you won’t be disappointed!

By far my favourite brewery in California. Big call I know. Excellent beers on tap, super friendly and helpful staff and a great space to sit outside in the sun, what more could anyone ask for?

Some of the best beer in LA (heck, in SoCal)! The prices are a little high, but it’s always worth it. They’ve added some great seating options outside, making this a great place to hang for a bit and enjoy the beer fresh.

This place is a must visit for anyone that loves hazy juicy IPA’s.  They are now in my all time top 10, maybe even top 5 breweries.  I sampled a couple and brought some others home.  All were highly rated on UNTAPPD and did not disappoint.  The location is easy to get to and they have indoor and outdoor seating areas.  There was also a pizza truck there when I stopped by.

places/ChIJD_mtNa1K3YARHX7kr7pPjp0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN2bHRfMHFRRRAB

My fiancé and I grew up in the area and even though we're living in Santa Monica now we still frequently make the weekend drive for the best hazy IPA's around. This place is relaxed, has great food trucks in rotation (Highlights: Felice Catering Friday Pizza, Xijuana Tacos Dorados, and Alitas Jalisco Wings), and pumps out fresh beer every week. Stop by, have a couple beers on the patio, and bring some home to your family and friends! Shoutout to the friendly beertenders Clint, David, Matt, Selene, Stephanie, and Jose!

A local bar on a street with towing and car businesses. A hidden gem! Beer selection was good, food menu is delicious and a wide variety of pizzas, definitely try the birria pizza, not pictured is the bbq chicken! There’s also a ping pong and darts area in the back. It’s a great place for good beer and pizza!

Always enjoy a beer a local brewery - there’s just something special about having a beer brewed onsite. Unfortunately, MacLeod’s seems to have largely shuttered its brewing operations and moved on to have a long list of guest beers. Huge bummer, especially if you were a cask ale fan.

It’s a shame - many know that there really aren’t a ton of breweries in the Valley, especially not in this area. Ultimately, there is a great selection of brewpubs/beer bars throughout the valley that have exceptional beers on tap. Would love to see MacLeod’s go back to what it was, but until then, pour one out for the good times.

One of my favorite places in Van Nuys. It’s so cool. Especially if you love craft beer. The food is inexpensive and incredibly delicious.

Park in the neighborhood and walk or take an Uber because it is located in the middle of a bunch of tow yards and industrial complexes. Parking is impossible.

Located near Costco Van Nuys.

April 2025 Update: They no longer brew beer and are just in the process of turning into a beer bar. Disappointing. If they are handy to you, go for it as I’m sure it’ll be decent, but if you’re like me, there’s a bunch of great bars closer. I only made the effort and traveled there for the craft brewery aspect. That no longer exists. Sad.

places/ChIJda1oAQmXwoARzDHPYq4nxeM/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNucW82MXJRRRAB

Edit: No longer brewing their own beer. Just a beer bar. No thanks.

Old review: Awesome beer, great food, kind souls, perfect playlist. I heartily recommend this place for any and all of your brewery needs.

I always look for Champaignon Eats when I go... a PHENOMINAL all vegan mushroom based pop-up... delicious! The Three Weavers brewery hosted it this time, and it has great beer, great staff, and is right in the heart of my hometown, Los Angeles CA! I'm not even vegan, but every time I get the alert, I try to come through! Dog friendly, great food & great times.

I recently visited, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite local spots. The venue is spacious, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors, perfect for enjoying some fresh air. There's a food truck on-site if you get hungry, which is a nice touch. The staff was incredibly friendly and informative, always ready to offer recommendations or answer any questions. Most importantly, every beer I sampled was excellent, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

This brewery is a couple of miles from the Forum, SoFi, YouTube theater.

Small indoor area, but there's plenty more seating outdoors.

Plenty of parking.

Two restrooms.

Beers were good. I had the Expatriate, a rice lager (forgot the name), and a seltzer; my husband tried a stout.

We'll come back whenever we attend another concert.

Trivia on Tuesdays at 6:30 pm! Recommend getting there about 20 mins early since seating is limited for indoors and gets packed pretty quickly 10 mins before.

They have an outdoor patio too, but you can't really hear well from there, but you should be able to play still since the trivia is done on a phone.

A good selection of beer with fun space themed names. It's near SpaceX so it fits. They also serve six beer flights here too so a great way to sample their brews.

On the weekends, they do some fun michelada style slushies too! Have to try that out soon!!

Common Space Brewery

had an amazing time at Common Space Brewery! The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors-perfect for groups, families, or just hanging out solo. The brewery is dog- and kid-friendly, which makes it an easy choice for any occasion.
The beer selection is excellent, with a strong lineup of IPAs, but also some great lighter options like their helles and pilseners. My personal favorite was the Food Fight Hazy IPA, but everything I tried was fresh and flavorful. They also rotate in creative and unique brews, so there’s always something new to try.
What really stood out was the staff-everyone was friendly and helpful, and even when it got busy, the service was solid. The brewery regularly hosts food trucks, offering a variety of delicious options to pair with your beer, and there are always TVs showing the latest games, making it a perfect spot to catch sports with friends.
There’s ample parking, a relaxed vibe, and lots of fun extras like board games and cornhole. Whether you’re there for a casual drink, a private event, or to pre-game before a concert, Common Space Brewery delivers every time. Highly recommend checking it out-can’t wait to come back!

November 2024:
Did a little research and found this highly rated brewery near LAX. Sampled three hazy IPAs and a West Coast style IPA. All were nice and light. Not heavy nor danky.

There were two food options in the back. One had burgers and fries. The other had chicken wings and fries. We went with the wings! Paired well with the 🍺.

Seating was available inside and outside on the patio. Was a nice spot to hang out. DJ started blasting music at 7pm. So was hard to hear any conversations.

Overall, good spot to enjoy a 🍻 and food.

First time there. Sitting there for an hour, got a pitcher and some food and this guy (Andrew) said we have to move because there’s a private event going on. Which I understand but he literally asked us to move NOW asap, and now we were scrambling to find a table with 2 pitchers full glasses, a lot of food and no tables and space to eat and drink. Completely unprofessional……in the future let us know in advance to move out of the way prior to us settling.

Will probably just get a bunch of parents to pitch in and throw another party because it was so fun!

Open area with outdoor and indoor seating. Lots of space to hang out, including two pool tables inside.

Frogtown offers delicious beer. I enjoyed all of them on my flight. I was  surprised by the Frog Claw and the Painkiller. I'm an IPA lover and I'm not too fond of fruity or sweet beer. I think these beers can be hard to pull off but Frogtown succeeded. If there was any sweetness, it was very subtle. Frogtown is kid friendly and they have a lunch truck. The food was my least favorite thing and I did not enjoy their nachos. However, the beer is so good that I will  not let the food prevent me from returning. I highly recommend this brewery to beer aficionados. I also recommend it to folks that are not too enthusiastic about beer but are willing to give it a try. Oh, and the service was awesome.

Solid brewery, plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Great mix of beer styles on draft and in cans to go

Always a relaxing time at our very own community brewery. Friday night Karaoke is super fun for friends and family.  A very nice variety of yummy food trucks are there to feed the masses. Plenty of seating and a nice casual open atmosphere that isn’t too loud that you can’t carry on conversations. The variety of beers is excellent. Would be great if they had a bottle of white wine on hand for non beer drinkers.

November 2024:
Stopped by for a few tasters. All of the beers were on the sweeter side. Was not what I was hoping for.

Very chill place to hang out. There were a lot of board games to choose from. Played some old school music 🎵.

People are very friendly.

Hosted my opening day party here this past Oscar Sunday. It was the perfect place, staff is really cool and the space is very chill. Good selection of beers and seltzers. All of my guests had a great time, definitely would go back to host another get-together. Also, they had a movie night the week before, apparently they have them once a month, and it was so cute. Aside from an event, it really is just a nice place to hang out!

Fun place to kick back and grab a beer from a variety of choices. The Lychee Hard Seltzer is one of my favs.  There are also fun events often, karoke, food trucks, etc. Nice to have a solid Brewery and hand spot like this at the Glendale/Burbank corridor area

places/ChIJheM6Qg_AwoARS_BMdZXtCCU/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNJOG9iLWxRRRAB

I absolutely love coming to Brewyard for the great beer, exciting events, but most importantly the people (both staff and patrons alike). The folks here are like a second family to me!

They are always pushing the envelope with new and innovative beers by introducing elements of their Filipino roots!

I have been a long time supporter of almost 10 years! Ever since I moved out of the Glendale/Burbank area, I miss going as frequently as in the past, but whenever I get the chance to stop by, you bet that Brewyard is top of my list! These guys are the absolute best!

Lawless Brewing Co.

Looking for a laid-back yet memorable experience? On a quick birthday celebration for my little one, I decided to make a pit stop at Lawless Brewing Co., and I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly knowledgeable. It felt like reconnecting with family in your backyard—relaxed, nostalgic, and full of good vibes.

On the bartender’s recommendation, I started with the Bikini Bottom sour ale, a delightful mix of orange and pineapple flavors. It was refreshing, tangy, and the perfect way to kick off the visit. The brewery’s rustic, industrial charm was captivating, and seeing the brewing process in action added a unique, behind-the-scenes touch to the experience. It’s exciting yet calming—a true escape.

As for the food made an incredible food truck it was a treat! I ordered chicken tacos that were absolutely phenomenal, a chicken quesadilla that hit all the right notes, and a side of perfectly crispy fries. Everything was cooked to perfection and reasonably priced.

If you’re in the North Hollywood area, Lawless Brewing Co. is a must-visit. Great beer, amazing food, and a vibe that makes you feel right at home. I’d give it a solid 9.5/10 and can’t wait to return!

A solid brewery in North Hollywood with a welcoming environment. Solid choice of beers and some wines.

I had their michelada beer and red wine. Both were very good and it was a great place to gather with friends. Location is pretty remote but out of the busy areas and it's a quiet area.  The outside patio has yard games and other board games.  The heaters are a great too.

I'd definitely come back again to try their other adult beverages.

places/ChIJES_MInGVwoARtTywari-p7o/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN2bXR6OW9RRRAB

By far one of my favorite brewery hangout spots in the Los Angeles area!

Located in North Hollywood by the NoHo Arts District, it is a great space both inside and outside for hanging out and taking part in various community events and activities that are often held here!

I love the beer flights you can order for around $15-20 with four different beer/wine/seltzers - that way I can try new ones while also enjoying a few of my tried-and-true staples!

Everyone here is always very friendly, welcoming, and I've stopped by for various different events throughout the year.
They occasionally have a little vegan food fair in the parking lot outside of the brewery, and there's also other marketplaces and activities from week-to-week.

A true Los Angeles hidden gem in NoHo - I really hope they are able to stick around for a while!
Definitely be sure to pay them a visit - I'm certain you'll enjoy it!

I attend an event at Lawless Brewing company once a month and the food is good from the trucks that we have in the parking lot. The service is amazing! And the location and atmosphere is a reason that it's place I'm happy to go.
The only caveat I have is that it could use some more parking. It gets a large crowd at least  when our event is there and it would be nice if there was more parking. But as for the brewery itself, it's brilliant

places/ChIJES_MInGVwoARtTywari-p7o/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQ3ekk3RnJRRRAB

If you’re a beer lover, this is the spot for you. They also have food trucks outside offering pizza and sandwiches. The service is attentive, and I really enjoyed the outdoor seating had a nice ambiance. It's also a great place to catch a game. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We are visiting from the UK and we wanted to try a sour beer or something similar. The vibe of this bar was unreal! The bar staff were so lovely and gave us some recommendations and tasters based on our preferences. It was delicious, we cannot emphasise how much we recommend this lovely spot.

places/ChIJQzatpaPHwoARUfPRURrOsJ4/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURYOHBEQWtBRRAB

I would definitely recommend this place. The service was great and our host knew everything about the menu.

There was plenty of parking (on the street) and lots of seating options. This place has lots of room for big groups, but can still feel private for a date.

It is handicap accessible and has tables that are easy to reach and tasteful.

The beer menu was fun and they had a few spritzer, wine, and NA options.

There was a decent food menu too.

We went here on Thursday for lunch and had the place all to ourselves. That said, I could see this place filling up fast as soon as people punch out from work each day.

Immaculate vibes.
Beer - great sours selection, really appreciate this as a sour lover. A flight would be cool to have.
Wine - nice but a bit pricey
Food - had a cheeseburger and fries and they were just ok.
Parking can be horrendous depending on time of day, events going on around etc.

Great spot for an afternoon beer outside. We loved our IPA and stout. It's got a great and very welcoming vibe and looks like it would be fun at night. We didn't have any of the food but many people near us did and it looked and smelled so good!

Ohana Brewing Company

places/ChIJJRi8HSfFwoARpLLJH_Y4tMI/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNZMHVmX0pREAE

No free snacks were provided, and the paid snacks were near-expiry packaged foods. The selection of craft beers was very limited—about five types. The beer looked quite cloudy and the flavor was fairly rich. The indoor scent from aromatherapy had a strong impact on the sense of smell, making it feel more like a spa than a tasting room. Not worth a second visit.

places/ChIJJRi8HSfFwoARpLLJH_Y4tMI/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURaMzhLSl9BRRAB

Loved the fruited beer I had here, wish I could have stayed for a second. There were a few I wanted to try, all at a reasonable price. They gave us goldfish and pretzels with the beers and that was a nice touch. My partner liked his IPA, too.

places/ChIJJRi8HSfFwoARpLLJH_Y4tMI/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNUN0xxUzZBRRAB

Great little brewery. Menu changes constantly to provide you with a variety of beers. They serve about 8-10 different beers that they brew themselves.
Service is always great. Ralph, Andrew, and Arely are awesome.

One of my favorite breweries! Located very conveniently in downtown Alhambra. Cute outdoor seating, delicious beer, kind staff and free snackies! Can’t recommend this place enough, we loved the beer so much that we took crowlers home. Parking is very easy, go to one of the free parking structures nearby and walk over to Ohana. Haven’t had a beer I disliked here yet - a great omen! Can’t wait to come back 😊

I'm enjoying the quiet friendly atmosphere, staff is attentive. Drinking their IPA "Deleted By Admin", it reminds me of cloves, maybe cloves cigarettes.

Unsuspecting from the outside but amazing on the inside.

The tap menu will keep you standing to find the right one.

Tasty but simple menu for foods!

Did I mention cute little packs for kids.

The staff was friendly and gave good recommendations!

A great stop to enjoy a bite to eat and great beer.

Found this location when searching for breweries in the downtown area. Super glad I found this gem of a brewery a short walk from the bustling of downtown and even a shorter walk from Union station. The brewery is located in a less traffic area of L.A. which provides some what of a peaceful place to enjoy the dining experience with friends or family.

Bar food is quite good and pairs well with whatever beverage you choose. Our party ordered the cheeseburger, hotdog, fries, and chips with queso. All the food came out at the same time and was presented nicely. Taste was what you expect of delicious and flavorful greasy bar food. I did notice that there are healthy options such as salads.

The beer was great! Tried the IPA and the pilsners. Served cold! Foam is just right. The IPA citrus was satisfying on a warm day. I learned all beer is brewed here. During our visit I notice the fermentation tanks were being cleaned out by. It was a nice conversation point and we enjoyed the ambiance.

Plenty of seating indoors and outdoors but during peak hours there maybe standing room only. We arrived on a Saturday near 7p.m. and was lucky enough to find a party to share their table. Service was awesome. Staff like Andy were welcoming and suggested what beers to try. Can't say enough great things about this place. You can also buy to-go packs of your favorite beverage. Price is what you expect for L.A. Beers are priced comparably with any other brewery you may visit.

Okay, okay. The beers are internationally known. Sure, sure, sure. But, the bartenders. Hella amazing pours! Perfect infinity pour on the first hazy I ordered followed up by a super solid heady pour on the next. All this AND filled me in on beers coming up as well as where the water was. Just badass service to go with amazing beers. Highly recommend. 👏

Abbbbsolutely best wings I've had yet!! Lemon pepper crisp to perrrrfection! Everyone has their fav crisp prefer but, these are mine! Washing every single bite down with the lager! Had I not been driving, I would have binged a little more on the cold beer too! Little spot just around the corner from the stadium is worth the drop in! Trust.

It’s a nice spot. I don’t like that they give you a bunch of foam. I want beer not foam (I don’t care for aromatics etc).

Hipster spot for sure. May return, parking is easy always something around the park.

Tucked away on the side of a busy road you can find this lovely brewery. They have a pretty wide selection of ciders they bring over from their cider house and some great variation of beers.

The food vendor on our visit was a pizza shop. The charcoal crust was pleasantly delicious we all enjoyed it and talked about it all weekend. There are indoor and outdoor seating options. We really enjoyed how mellow it was on a Thursday after work.

I just got back from Benny Boy Brewing and it was pretty fun! This place gets the whole relaxed and fun atmosphere spot on. This is marketed as a brewery, cidery and backyard beer garden and it does it all justice. It feels like you have walked into the perfect place to just sit and have a good time with friends, to relax after a long day or just enjoy the magic  of being under the stars.

Starting with the drinks, you can order a pint of beer straight from the tank, or if you prefer something different, you can order a cider from the barrel. I got both and they were spot on. The choice is vast and you can tell that they are passionate about what they are brewing here.

The pop-up vendors they’ve got coming through are pretty good. It’s a bring your friends kind of place whether you’ve got a small group or a full on party of 40. The space is huge, open, and for some reason, it feels like your own backyard, only better.

If you are in LA and looking for a place to sit, drink and just be, then look no further. It’s better to take an uber because the parking is pretty bad. It’s also not the nicest neighborhood and parking is limited.

Solid brewery in Lincoln Heights! We went to their annual apple fest and got to help them press their apple cider and tasted a bunch of it. Lots of cider and beer options as well. Valet parking was $15 when we went

I really wish I could split this review between the beer and cider sides of the house, therefore I rated a 3 to bring the average. The beer side is not worth it. Just go to Highland Park brewing up the street. The beers were not good and the main lager was skunky. The ciders though.... damn, quite nice. I'm a beer drinker so I favored the brewery but the few at the cider house were really nice. I'll come back, but only have the cider!!!

It’s in a nice area, moderate amount of space w/ modern decor. They have games. We didn’t find the beers that amazing but chill atmosphere. We’ll reconsider that 5th star on a next visit, hopefully we find some beers we actually like.
