Good mix of well made brews. Some are rich and deep; Espresso Stout, Jess Y James. Others are really fun to try; Oatmeal Raisin Stout, Orange CreamciAle. The tap room has a pleasant and relaxing vibe. The service is cordial and thorough. A definite return trip. read more

My favorite brewery in Temecula by far! The staff is so friendly and welcoming! There are games to play with friends and a nice quiet atmosphere with amazing beer! The best part is you can walk in and take beer to go and they can it for you from the tap! Love this brewery!!! read more

The only reason why I went to his brewery was because I read so many good reviews. When I arrived to this brewery the lady just watched me go in she didn't say nothing didn't offer me any drinks nothing. I swear I felt like an outsider and as soon as I walked up to the register to kind of ask for something she had a face on her. it Wasn't a very pleasant experience read more

Great place!!! 42 types of beer....yummy!!! I had the orange dreamsicle. This place makes all their own original beers!! Our server/bartender Stasha was very nice and being our first time here she was very informative about their beers. Unfortunately they close at 8 pm and we were only able to spend less than hour there but I am so looking forward to my next trip to California and making a pit stop here! read more

Aftershock Brewing - Great place too bad they close at 8 pm I had an orange creamsicable. They make their own beer 42 of them!!!! - Breweries Near Me - Temecula, California

See all

Stopped here based the great yelp reviews and discovered that the beer was even better than advertised. We tried 8 different tasters and enjoyed them all. The oatmeal raisin cookie is exactly what it sounds like, but doesn't suffer from the unusualness and we bought a 32 oz to go. The reds were excellent, and we liked the stouts too. And the staff was very friendly and helpful. They suggested a dinner place (goat & vine) that was also delicious. We highly recommend paying Aftershock a visit if you are in Temecula. read more

Located in the first row of an industrial park on Old Town Front Street, this is a fine tap room of a fine brewery. No food, except chips (crisps) and jerky. The tap room is small and dark with a quiet comfortable vibe. Their unusual specialty adjunct is peanut butter, but that's not within my taste range. They have a crowler machine for to go's (take aways) for $10- 12. They also have in house made sasparilla (root beer) and boysenberry soda for $3. Beers are $2-6 for 4-16 oz. Flight of 4 for $7. read more

If you love beer, you'll love this place. This is a no frills place to drink awesome beer. If your going beer tasting this is a must stop.

This is my favorite brewery! Lots of breweries are sprouting up in temecula you must visit this one. There's a wide selection of beers. All beers are really smooth. I tend to be more of a hophead with hotter weather but these selections are a refreshing change for me. Behind enemy limes IPA is delicious, it's the smoothest IPA i ever tasted. read more

Would have been better if they had more people helping serve, took forever to get our beer.

Great beer, especially if you like IPAs or stouts. Great service, nice place to stop with friends before a night out. Love aftershock!

I've had beers in dozens of micro and nano breweries and rated almost 1600 beers on Untappd. This place makes the best stouts I've had - Mexican Breakfast, Temporarily Out and Espresso Stout are simply magnificent. Cool place, cool people, great beer. Do not miss this place, beer lovers. read more

Been here a few times before and it does not seem to ever discourage us from coming back some of the best beer and definitely one of my favorite brewery here in Temecula if you stop by try one of their delicious stouts, all to die for!! Yummy and cheers!! read more

I'm not sure how it happened... I think it was a combination of their beers being delicious (Oatmeal Raisin Cookie is as amazing and unique as it sounds. Peanut Red Alert is a delicious twist on a red ale. They also have many good rotating brews) and their bartenders being super friendly and helpful (I haven't met everyone yet but on the days I go, Travis and Rebecca are awesome) but Aftershock Brewing has somehow become my weekly hangout spot. I even joined their fantasy football league which is a lot of fun. Their brew club is a great deal (and always fun to get "free" beers each visit) and you can't beat half off crowlers on Tuesdays. It's a small tasting room but it has never felt too crowded even when they are busy and I have never had to wait long to get a drink. I like the music and overall vibe of the place. Anyway I should stop rambling and you should just go check out Aftershock for yourself, you won't be disappointed! read more

Been here 3 times now and enjoyed it every time. Some very tasty Brews for sure. Enjoyed the ice cream float party. They are very knowledgable and passionate about beer. We will be back again for sure. read more

Aftershock is one of the great gems of Temecula. After their expansion they have even more room to host their beers, and the monthly beers are now available all the time. I have yet to have a beer here that I don't like. Anyone who is a beermeister MUST visit here, whether your a local or just passing through. read more

This place is insane! Movie-theater dark is the first plus in my opinion. Really a calm and relaxed vibe. Then I saw the beer list! Holy crap! Too many to count. Hopspresso is absolutely fabulous. Belgian IPA with tangerine zest was great. Mexican Smokehouse and Hot Chocolate were fantastic as well. The beer that was my favorite was Duron's Deception. Lime, heat, hops, and maybe a little smoke all twisted together in a orgiastic explosion of flavor. Aftershock is definitely not for people unwilling to drink outside the box. For other more adventurous sorts, Aftershock rocks our world. read more

By far my favorite local brewery. A wide selection of beers to please any palate, from craft beer novice to veteran. If you are anywhere near Temecula and love craft beer, stop in and have a pint or three. Drink local! read more

Really good beer - they had this Peanut alert red ale last weekend that was amazing.

Went here to give their beers a try. Door (and website) said that they were open at 1, but when we stopped by at 1:15 the doors were locked and no one answered the phone. So to give them one star is generous since I'm only rating their business practices and not their product. read more

After spending a whole day wine tasting in Temecula, our palates needed some variety and we were all dreaming of beer. Unfortunately, it was about 5 pm on a Sunday so we had limited options, but it all turned out OK because Aftershock was still open and provided us with plenty of choices to try. They have a really wide variety of beers. Everything from Belgians to IPAs and a bunch in between. There was definitely something for everyone (stouts! ESB! pale ales!), though my friend who really only likes fruity things desperately wanted to try the Cherry Barleywine, which was members only... Which led us to ask what exactly the membership entailed. It's $60 for a 3 month membership (it does auto-renew. Note to self: must call to cancel as we're moving out of state in a few weeks) and gets you 16 pints of beer and some discounts. There were 6 of us in the group, so I decided just to go ahead and sign up since we'd all be having at least 2 beers anyways so it wouldn't be much a of stretch to get to 16 and it seemed like a good deal. Unfortunately, the special members only Cherrizona was not something any of us really liked, but no big deal because lke I said, still a bargain to prepay for the beer basically. The tap room is large, cool and dark - the perfect escape after baking in the sun doing some outdoor wine tasting just before. The area is not quite as industrial as some others I've been to, so it's pretty easy to find and they have a parking lot right in front. We have a few more pints to use up so we'll be heading back next weekend and I'm really excited for a pint of the IPA with grapefruit - such a lovely summer beer! read more

I went with my brother's girlfriend for a girls' night out and this place was great! Cool atmosphere and Travis is the best bartender around! For great beer and a funny conversation, go straight to him! My favorites were the "Behind Enemy Limes" & "Simple Dreams!" Cheers! read more

Aftershock Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Temecula, California

Great beer, wide open selection for all shades-of-beer lovers, super-friendly staff and low-key environment. Love it!

This is a great brewery with a wonderful staff! Rebecca, Laurel and Amy are the best! They have a brand new tasting room at a new location, which is beautiful! Jesse James is a favorite! read more

Fantastic beers for the non-IPA lover. I enjoyed the atmosphere as the setting is small relative to other craft breweries in Temecula. Prices are very reasonable and the bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. Aftershock is a must do for the beer lover looking to enjoy great beer! read more

I am part of the Temecula brewery family and I feel like Aftershock has everything I love all wrapped up in one awesome tasting room. Great staff that I truly enjoy seeing. Awesome new tasting room with great ambience that helps you forget the time. Incredible selection of beers that is constantly being changed. Attention to detail in all of their tasty libations that leave you pleased every time with no off tastes. Beer clean glassware and great pours every time (one finger head). Everything that I like to see in a brewery and I am glad to know that Temecula is represented by such a great place. read more

Aftershock is a great brewery for people who don't love beer! They have some really fun brews both fruity and nutty tasting, without a ton of hoppiness. (They do have hoppy beers for you others) I feel unlike a lot of breweries you can taste everything they say the beer will taste like. Oatmeal raisin cookie ale? ummm yes please and if taste just like eating the cookie! They also have a nutter butter, orange creamcicle, strawberry, and other rotating flavors! Check it out you wont be disappointed read more

Went to a few local breweries and this is one of the best. Every beer I tried, I liked it. The Richter Rauch smoked ale was smooth and awesome. The Strawberry Shortquake was a nice subtle fruit beer with a nice hint of strawberry cheesecake flavor. The Nutty Nudgers, the Amerifest, the Dubbel Vission and the Jess Y James were all very good and you can't go wrong with any of them. Would love to frequent this place. Stasha was an awesome help and very helpful. Great barista. I would highly recommend this place! read more

The selection was okay but the environment wasn't all that great. It may have been the day I went, or maybe its just not my scene.

Small yet inviting brewery. Their beers are very solid. Quiet place on a Tuesday. They have a chili beer that is really interesting. Never had a beer like that before. The espresso stout is amazing! This place is way worth visiting. Great addition to downtown Temecula and their solid beer gives them a spot in the top breweries to visit list. read more

Fun atmosphere, wonderful staff, reasonable prices, and the beer was tasty! Their oatmeal raisin beer was delicious (I know, wasn't expecting that) and the double vision was also a fav. I had to buy a few bottles to go. I would definitely recommend. read more

Amazing brewery with the best bartender. Very nice, explained everything and was very accomodating

Beer was okay, but I was pretty unhappy with the service. They really didn't take time to talk about their beers nor showed much enthusiasm.

We stopped by for some quick tasters while in the area to see how the beer was. The bar was clean and the bartender was friendly, but didn't recommend anything even though we were first time customers. The place has a long bar with quite a selection of taps with the menu on the top of the side wall. There are some repeat beers with different infusions, but they should have something for everyone. From espresso infused beer to peanut butter to grapefruit or chipotle, the range of experimentation is quite large. (They were also phasing out their seasonal pumpkin beer.) Now based on the atmosphere and service alone, I'd certainly give the place 4-5 stars. My issue is with the beer itself. I had a taster of the Affogato (ABV 8.0%), the espresso stout with vanilla bean. The beer certainly tasted like coffee, but I could not taste the vanilla bean at all. The coffee and beer just wiped any hint of it away. Also, the beer was just straight bitter; there was no depth of flavor to it at all. I was also able to try the Paradisi IPA (ABV 6.8%) thanks to my party member ordering a taster of it. As a grapefruit zest IPA, the grapefruit came through nicely, but again the beer was just straight bitter. I was hoping for some citrus end notes from the hops or some flavor depth. Actually... aside from the grapefruit and coffee, the IPA tasted the same as the stout! If you're in the area, you might want to give this place a shot. They do some pretty original infusions, but the beer isn't the best you'll get. I've definitely had worse, but here's hoping they can focus more on the base beer recipes rather than just trying to create the most unique infusions. read more

I spent a couple of days in Temecula doing the wine tasting thing for my bachelorette celebration with my sister, but we quickly realized that all we really wanted was a beer. I'm so glad we decided to go to Aftershock! I had such a great experience here with my sister! I'm currently living in Fort Collins, CO, where brewing is life. So, naturally, I love a good craft beer. The beers here are creative, interesting, and delicious! The real cherry on top is that everyone here is personable and awesome! We had such great conversations with the women working that day! read more

I'm giving this 3 stars for the creativity of the beer flavors and names. But this is the weirdest brewery/tasting room I have ever been in. It wasn't so much the 1 employee that was working a crowded room. But the people who were in there were so odd. It felt like that movie from Dusk to Dawn. We were referred by the owner at Refuge Brewery (which we really liked). We live in Temecula and were pretty shocked to find there were breweries in wine town. So we took an afternoon to try a few of them. This was the last place we went because it was close to home. I'm not sure we will try this place again. The atmosphere was just not what we were into. read more

Okay beers. Big selection, some are unique to Aftershock. Tasting room is nothing special but there moving forward right on front street. Might make it better. But beer is not up to par with the other breweries but still better than Weins. read more

My experiences here? Nothing short of amazing!! Great beer! Service! And people! I instantly felt at home. So welcoming! AND first beer club I've ever been offered!! I joined. Of course. It is perfect. Fun. Fresh beer. Great selection delivered right to my door! I cannot say enough good things about this place. THANK YOU!!! read more

Great craft brews! I especially enjoyed the black rye IPA and espresso stout. Wish I could have tried more beers but I was stuffed after a big lunch. I'll definitely be back. Thanks guys. read more

We love, love, love this little brewery. Excellent beer and good customer service. This is a regular spot for us. Try some of the more unique beers such as the chili's, very tasty! read more

Great atmosphere and good beer! The gal behind the bar was tending the whole place so there was a bit of a wait and she seemed a bit frustrated. I felt for her. She definitely kept a smile on her face when asked questions or tending to patrons. I will definitely come back. read more
