    What impressed me most about Aftershock had to be the connection this business has established with the local community. People often just want to go places where they feel safe & welcome. Aftershock certainly provides that experience. People bring their families to here to drink, carry on, and be merry. Some even bring their cats & dogs. What a warm ambience. Why not. I got a chance to talk with Amber, one of the owners. It's hard to replicate her people skills & humor. She told scads of funny anecdotes and jokes. All tables and customers were served cold beverages promptly while she was on the floor. I had a mineral water with hops in it or hop water, if you will. As of today, I consider my thirst slaked. Go to Aftershock if you want that thirst trapped for good.

    I'm not a hardcore beer drinker, but this guy I know ... you know, my JnC/OF buddy?! Lol...he's a regular here. Every now and then we meet up for a quick drink after work. I've only ever had micheladas from here, and they are pretty good. Not the best I've had, but they hit the spot. Last time we came, the guy asked if I wanted mine spicy... I'd had a long ass day and said yes. Once I started drinking it I couldn't hang lol!! He was kind enough to make me a new one. I did ask for some water and he gave me a glass, but it wasn't cold. It was warm from the tap. I don't like warm water but I drank it because I was desperate, lmao! Michelada was way better for my tastebuds the 2nd time around. I might try something else next time. Perhaps a fruity beer if they have any. They have over 30 beers on tap so I'll have to see. Place is clean and chill. There's a cute little nook against the back wall if you wanna get cozy with your s.o. If you're a fan of beer, you should come here. You'd probably love it. They do offer discounts so just ask. Aftershock is located on Old Town Front Street in an industrial strip mall. Parking isn't a problem and the staff is great! Check it out!!

    Great customer service. Bartender was sooo friendly and she instantly welcomed you. She knew the regulars and instantly served them their favorites without them asking. Small brewery. But they have A LOT to choose from. My fiancé and I went here for our second stop on a brewery tour and had a 4 beer tasting flight. Blonde, Tropicana Magic, Oatmeal Raisin, and then end with your choice. My fiancé liked the oatmeal raisin beer and i liked the tropicana magic beer. For my final tasting i chose Stay Classy and my fiancé ordered their sour but they didn't have it. So he told the bartender to surprise him. She gave him this very faint pink beer. We both tried it and instantly loved it. We both thought it was the grapefruit IPA but we were waayy off. Bartender came up with her own concoction and mixed 2 beers and a seltzer. Omg! Must try! Definitely a place to check out. We will be back!

    Small little brewery just a little outside of Old Town, but definitely worth the extra 2 minutes drive or 10 minutes walk. Aftershock Brewing carry over 30 different beers on tap. Everything from hard seltzer's to hoppy and malty brews. For those of you that are brewery hopping like me, this is the perfect spot cuz they have a flight of 4 beers for a reasonable price. Tell the bartender your preference and I am sure they can recommend something for your tastebuds. I am more of the Belgian & Stout girl and definitely fell in love with the Jess & Jess (Stout). Also tried the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Ale (ORCA) and yes, it does taste like Oatmeal Raisin Cookies! Definitely one beer not to be missed.

    Came here on our sidecar tour for our last stop. The inside is small but somehow fits a good amount of people weather it's tables or at the counter. The staff was extremely friendly and gave us one of the most amazing concoctions I've ever had lol. We didn't see food so I do not believe there is any but I could be wrong since we were only there for the beer. We enjoyed our drink so much we came back and got two crowlers to take home after we had went and got food. We will be coming back regularly

    So many delicious flavors and great service! We will be back

    So many great flavor the service was fantastic. Not too loud and had a fun vibe. The Jessy James mix was my favorite of the day. Ask the bar staff for that special blend!

    First off, Travis is our go-to man and my fiancé and I absolutely love this guy! If there's anyone that should be behind a counter pouring brews, it's got to be him 100%! There are about 10-12 breweries in a 2 mile stretch along Old Towne that we frequent, and Aftershock takes the cake as #1. It's hands-down my favorite because of their variety, atmosphere and employees. Prices are very reasonable, and the flavors are phenomenal. Currently I'm in love with their Guaaavah Hazy & Hunker Down Haze (which I want to say is a limited release, but I could be wrong. Double check their IG account @aftershockbrewingco). When they have California Blazin, which changes with every brew due to the chilis they put in it, I am absolutely there! Overall, this is a great place to grab a brew and relax. Bring some of your favorite bbq in to eat while you sip (or chug, I don't judge lol!) a cold beer.

    I'm a dark kinda guy! Vanilla was my fav, but I added 3 beers to my list!

    3.5 stars... Great space and welcoming staff...we actually ran into the peeps from Garage Brewing here, so we knew this joint was legit! I'm a dark kinda guy! Vanilla was my fav, but I added 3 beers to my list! Peanut butter was great, and the free range, organic, barrel aged cheddar cheese balls sealed the deal! Good beers, fun joint...if we are in T-LA again, I'm coming back!

    Found this hidden gem after looking up breweries in the Temecula area. It is small but well put together and the beer is unique and tasty. I came with a group of 4 and there is not a ton of seating but it was not too busy on Saturday afternoon so we were able to snag a table to sit and indulge on some beer. I tasted a few and ended up with a The Public House Blonde and my friend had the Oatmeal Raisin Cookie which was so tasty! It tasted exactly like an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie no joke! Another friend of mine ordered the Blueberry Dream which was tart but really good. I look forward to coming back to try more of their beer!

    I was sooo happy to find a brewery with several choices of amber ale. That itself deserves a five stars but the beer was actually pretty good. Staff super friendly and helpful!

    Joe and Amber are awesome! They made some good recommendations when I told them I was more into stouts and reds. My girlfriend loved their breaking the claw hard seltzer. They welcomed us to Temecula and even gave us some local recommendations. Amazing beer and good snacks to pair with beers. Check them out!

    Indoor and outdoor seating. Loved the decor and ambiance. They didn't have food when we were there though. Refreshing beer selection with blonds, lagers, and ipa's.

    No, and not sure if they have a food truck on certain days either. Might want to check their website!

    So we recently joined their club. They have a lower tier and a higher tier that we joined. What…read morewere you thinking? Are we not Pros? We do have a beer club, wine club, and now a meadery club. We get 8 bottles every quarter at $220 and 15 percent off extra bottles or tastings. The past Sunday we tried their happy hour special which was 2 flights and some snacks for $59. But since we are members, it came out to $50 instead. We've had our share of meads. I would say the level of creativity is pretty high here. We had their viking mood which was stored in oak tasted like whiskey. Had their midnight which was on the highest sweet level. Also had the Valkyrie reserve which was phenomenal. But like our favorite winery as members, we are able to swap out the ones we didn't like to the ones we do. A total perk for members. Outside the place there's 2 patio tables and chairs. While Inside there are booth, tables, self serve water, instagrammable areas like their backdrop. Our host Erin was super helpful helping us, kudos to good service. We also got a recent bottle of their creme brulee mead. Highly recommended if you can get one that is. It's a little far for us, but we enjoyed batch mead. I do wish they give out free monthly tastings but don't forget, we are pro drinkers. In the meantime, cheers to you!

    Place is so good I bought a membership and now get 4 bottles per quarter…read more Love the mead and the events and ambiance here are top shelf. Owner seems passionate about what he does and their flavor themes are a lot of fun. I try to come here monthly, I really hope their business continues to thrive.
