This place was a really great choice. Obviously things are a little different than they probably are normally, you know.... with the pandemic and all... but we were really happy with it. We tried 3 of their beers (54, Blonde Khmer, and Cambodian Player) and the Saigon Rolls. All were wonderful! The thing I really appreciated was that each beer had a story to go with it. I came away feeling like I had learned some new things about these cultures that I was unaware of. It appears like perhaps the brewery/restaurant is under some construction or restructuring of the business. I got the feeling that perhaps they were experiencing some growing pains, but I really hope to see them continue to grow into the popular brewery that it deserves to be. We were 1 of only 2 couples on the patio, which was great for social distancing, but I really do hope to see their business prosper! read more

I had their brew IPA, at Champagne garden in Oakland. Excellent. It complements the excellent food at the restaurant very well. Nice brew.

Guys!!! It's the FIRST Asian people to actually start a brewing company in the USA!! BE EXCITED!!!!! Support them!! Let me get to the nitty gritty bc I know there are haters: 1. It's on Florin Rd - People from South Sacramento will understand. 2. It's not your typical brewery. It's part of a restaurant. An Asian restaurant. You will walk in and expect a brewery and see a restaurant. GIVE IT A CHANCE!! The good stuff: 1. Outside seating is available once the warm weather arrives. Gorgeous patio. Even if it's on Florin Road. 2. Two beers were created for each annexed/displaced people In the Vietnamese war: Vietnamese, Cambodian, Mien, Mong, and Lao. 3. Each beer has a story/history behind it. 4. The beer caters to the older crowd that loves Tsing Tao and Heineken. They created beers with that flavor pallet and made it their own. 5. They created craft beers for the younger generation and pair it with Asian food!!!!!!!! They literally have a beer that pairs with Pho!! 6. You can find their bottled beer in Corti Brothers now!! I'm so excited for this Asian Brewing Company and I can't wait to see their beers at all the other mom and pop Asian Restaurants. It would be amazing to have more choices besides Tsing Tao and Heineken!! read more

After an afternoon in the Sacramento area, I refueled with a late lunch at Anh Hong, a Vietnamese and Lao restaurant on Florin Road. The main draw for us, however, was that it also housed Asian Brothers Brewing Company. The founders wanted to tell the story of Vietnamese, Lao, Cambodian, and Hmong war refugees through their beer and started the first Southeastern Asian craft beer brewing company in the United States to tell their story. The owner, Michael, told us his story as well as other Vietnam War refugee stories as we sampled his beer flight ($10 for 5 beers). My favorite was the Cambodian Player, an Asian Amber that's named for the Cambodian phrase "we are players". The word "Player" in Cambodian means that no matter what happens, we will always be friends. Michael suggested we enjoy the beer with the Saigon Rolls and Papaya Salad. We followed his suggestions but also added in chicken wings and beef larb. All were good but the Saigon Rolls were definitely unique. Egg rolls with pho noodles on top wrapped in lettuce and topped with basil leaves. Definitely a great dish to enjoy the beer with! read more

After driving past this place for several weeks, I decided to give it a shot. Sadly, I walked out a little disappointed. I read one of the reviews saying that this brewery is not like any ordinary brewery...and i agree. There is a restaurant with this brewery. When you first walk into the place, you notice that there is karaoke and a stage on the right with a dance floor...and on the left there's all the seating. I happen to be there when they were hosting a party. The waiters and owner were nice and greeted us when we first walked in....they did sit us down...but they took a while to wait on us. When i tried to order a beer...half of the beers on their list were all gone...they actually only had 3 beers remaining. I tried the Tropical IPA...it wasn't bad. The food here was alright...not great. With all the asian restaurants nearby, it might not be a bad idea to go eat there, and come here for the beer...if they have a full beer menu. Honestly...i would consider giving this place another shot...i do want to try their other beers...but i'm not in a hurry to. read more

Located inside Anh Hong restaurant, Asian Brothers Brewing Company can be hard to find if you don't know what you're looking for. Once you make it inside, you might even think you're still lost. It's not your typical brewery, by any means, but Asian Brothers Brewing is dishing out some fine craft beer outside the traditional California standards, so it's fitting that the rest of the experience falls outside of the norms, too. There are five beers on tap, with their selection including an adjunct lager, Pilsner, pale ale, amber ale, and tropical IPA. Their emphasis is on creating craft beer that falls within the stylistic guidelines of more traditional Hmong, Lao, and Vietnamese beers. The lagers are crisp, light, and fresh. The ales are fruity and balanced without being too overwhelmingly bitter or alcohol. Again, it's a welcome deviation from the norm, and a friendly reminder that beer doesn't have to be 8% or assertively bitter to be good. Price wise, the beer is an excellent deal, too. A flight of five beers is just $10, coming to $2 a taster. The food options looked great, and food is provided by Anh Hong, which houses Asian Brothers Brewing. I didn't grab a bite this time around, but would absolutely consider it, should I revisit the brewery with friends. If you're in the area, make sure Asian Brothers Brewing is on your radar. You'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

I had called Asian Brothers Brewing Company as I wanted to inquire about getting some of their beers for an event I was hosting. I wanted to go out of my way and support Asian businesses during AAPI Month. The guy that answered the phone at (650) 533-5221 was distasteful and so incredibly rude that I decided to go with another brewing company. No restaurant or bar deserves your money if they can't be hospitable. read more

As an Asian beer enthusiast, it never crossed my mind that I've never drank a craft beer brewed by a fellow Asian, so when I saw this place listed in the SF Chronicle Beer Map, I knew I needed to stop by. As the others say, not your typical brewery as it's part of a Vietnamese restaurant, but I enjoyed every part of it. As a good Asian, I gotta get my good deals and this place has an awesome flight (5 x 8oz = 40 oz) of five out of their six brews for just $10. In SF a 16 oz pour costs like $8 or $9, so this was an awesome value. Love the pale ale, great aroma and taste. Keep up the good work! read more

The customer service here is good. Very friendly, and the food is amazing! The beef larp is delicious. The beers were also good. A MUST TRY if you're looking for delicious Asian food and some great tasting beer. read more

This has become a go to place for our group, Sacramento DSA, whenever we have meetings or events down in South Sac we end up right here drinking, eating, and singing. Remembering why we keep coming together, outside of a common vision, is because we actually like each other. It doesn't hurt that the beer flows like a river,the dishes leave you filled with a smile, and the KJ will play any damn song you want. read more

These guys make pretty darn good craft beers. Didn't get to try the Hmong beers or the Vietnamese white but my favorites are the tropical IPA (don't let the name fool you it's not fruity) and the Lao Jungle. I must update review when I can taste the other brews read more

Had the Vietnamese IPA, pho, and a rice plate with shrimp and beef, plus a taste of their blonde ale. The IPA wasn't as hoppy as that found in many local brewpubs, and the tropical flavors noted in the description didn't come through very strongly, but it was perfectly adequate. The blonde was nice too. The pho broth was lightly seasoned, with meatballs and what I am guessing was flank steak. It was good, but I missed the touch of star anise that I'm used to. The grilled shrimp and beef were both quite tasty, and came with some very good seasoned rice and a good salad. The table next to us ordered the seven course beef dish. It came with lots of greens, and looked wonderful. We'll be back to try it, for sure. read more

We found this place through the sacramento beer frontier brewery passport. Pretty sure this is the only brewery that serves southeast asian food. The owner, I think, was super friendly and told us that Asian Brothers Brewery is the first asian craft beer in the U.S.A! The food was good and my white husband really liked the beer sampler haha! The inside of the restaurant/brewery could use some TLC and is in a hidden location off of the freeway but I'm sure when the lights are dimmed and music is playing, it could be a great place to chill with friends and EAT. My husband liked the beer so much that he bought 6 bottles of the Hmong beer to take home. read more

Before i type this review i just want to say don't believe the naysayers read the other reviews and pay attention to them. I'm not a picky person i like beer and good food and these guys deliver just that. I walked in and got a warm welcoming, got a full flight and i am pretty satisfied with the tastings. The staff are professional, punctual and very cool. I support this establishment and will tell all my friends about it. I am not disappointed. 5 stars gentlemen. Bravo- read more

You go in and it's pretty much open seating. Service is a bit slow. The elderly lady who took our order stopped at our last person and didn't take his order. She said she'll be back! She came back probably 10 + minutes later. . I excitedly ordered a lychee mojito because lychees are delicious! Sadly, it tasted like they opened the can of lychee and it sat for a long while because I could taste the metal oxidation! Yuck yuck yuck! I can't fathom wasting a drink but this drink I did! One sip was all I needed to know NOT to order mix drinks from this place! The beers they brew themselves tasted fine! Food was good! This place doubled as a restaurant as well and they had karaoke also. I really wanted to support my fellow Asians but sadly the unorganization left me a bit flustered. The guy tried really hard but the lady who stopped taking our orders at the last person and the gross chemical experiment of a mix drink just didn't do it for me. I won't be back. read more

I wish I could give 10 stars! My friends and I had the pleasure of trying this place yesterday and all I can say is WOW!!!! The owner Mike is so personable! He took the time to recommend food choices and the best way to try the beers. He is passionate about his Asian beers and gave us the back story on their names and the history. I was born and raised in California and did not know a lot of the Vietnamese, Lao or Hmong history from the perspective of someone who lived it and came to our Country. Not sure what I enjoyed more, the beers, food or the conversation (big thumbs up for Lao Jungle and the egg rolls). We loved the dipping sauce so much Mike surprised us both with containers to take home! For all you foodies and craft beer junkies like us, this place is a "must go", you will not be disappointed. Thanks again Mike! It was a pleasure meeting you and your lovely wife. We not only found a great place to eat, I also feel like we made a new friend read more

Decided to head to south sac to get some decent food and stopped by ABBC. What a find! Food was good - had the Lao sausage, Saigon rolls and fried shrimp. All tested great. Will be making another trip a to south sac soon to try the other menu items. Blonde Khmer and 54 beer was very good. read more

This place was great! My parents and I stopped by after seeing it right off of the freeway. Michael, the owner, was very nice and funny. He gave us a bit of a history lesson and why the beers are so personal to him. The food was delicious! We got the happy platter and Saigon rolls. Brought some home for the rest of the family and they loved it too. Our favorite beers were the Loa Jungle IPA and the Money and Gold Pale Ale. The only thing is that it is a little difficult to find since the brewery is inside of the restaurant. Overall great experience! Will most definitely be returning. read more

While there is not currently a tasting room these busy people are brewing their wonderful beers and traveling the state providing tastings and stories! Happily, their beers are available in many local stores! read more

Saw an ad for this brewery on Instagram, and decide to order from them. They deliver to the Bay area and the delivery process was quite smooth.. Their beers are amazing as well. Would strongly recommend and would definitely order again! read more

We stopped by today and bought a 24 variety pack of beers for $35 and the Saigon Rolls. The owner was so nice, the beer was light and refreshing, and the food was really good. It's a unique brewery that we'll definitely be going to again! read more

First of all I have never eaten here. But I have a complaint about one of their drivers. On July 21st, around 10am in Rio Vista, I had one of their vans cut right in front of me, license #68014T2. He then continued driving NEVER using a signal light and ran thru 2 (two) stop signs. And one was on Hwy 12. Those are the people who cause the accidents, because they don't give a damn about others. I DON'T care about how good their food or beer is, just that their drivers have some consideration for others. So PAY ATTENTION FOR OTHER CARS, USE SIGNAL LIGHTS AND STOP AT STOP SIGNS. PLEASE. read more

It took me a minute to find this place but I'm so glad I was patient!! I drove around and around looking for an Asian Brothers sign but when I didn't find one I just called and the nice owner told me they were located inside a restaurant. I was the first customer of the day and he was willing to give me a stamp in my beer passport without a beer but I've never had Asian beer so of course I had to purchase some. I got the flight for only $10 and it had 5 5 ounce pours!!! Unheard of for a flight. He sat me down and gave me a brochure with a beautiful history of the restaurant as well as each beer. I paired my flight with Saigon rolls and enjoyed a quiet meal being the only customer in the place. Although I am not Vietnamese, my parents came from the Philippines and I felt close to this place and these people. Beautiful experience. read more

Awesome Saigon Rolls, great beer and the service/customer service was perfect. Definitely a gem in Sac.

New favorite beer. They tell you the story behind their brews. They also tell you what foods pair best with which beer. First time seeing beers paired with Viet and Laotian foods! Try the 75! read more

I would say that this can't be called as a brewery. When I was there 2 out of 5 beers for the tasting flights were out. It was Karaoke night and the whole family who seemed to have rented out the place were really loud and drunk but no one really stopped them. I don't think I will visit this place again. Beer was okay but nothing special. read more

Wow! Mid-afternoon on a Sunday and I was not sure if they were open or not, but Michael and family were very welcoming. I was hoping for some food and beer and was amazed by the Saigon Rolls and Lao Jungle, the "75", and "54". Great pairing of food and libations. Each beer has a story that speaks to SE Asia and what makes us all Americans. read more

The beers is good. It is great for hot and humid days - their beers. But each time I go there - three times out of four. They have a private event going on. During business days, during weekends! Like wtf? Piss on the general customers with random closings... damn read more

My husband and my brother in law really enjoyed their beer. They said that it was super smooth. The only one they didnt care for was one labeled 75. They said it was a little bitter but all of the other ones they thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely be buying again. read more

This place was great, they were so nice and welcoming. We came to get a stamp in our beer passport and they immediately talked to us about the best deal. Each beer has a story and the Saigon rolls are a great pairing. Love this place and will definitely come again. read more

This place is a Sacramento gem. Great food, great beer, great staff. Def worth a visit or many!!

Great beer! And i know....ive tried a ton of craft beers in Sac. They sold out it was so good. Awaiting next batch. Greqt people, great events, great beer = great times. read more

When you first walk in, you are not sure if this is a brewery or restaurant... Fact is, it's both. The food is top notch, and each beer is uniquely craft AND also clearly Asian. Brought home a wonderfully mixed case of the different beers. Phenomenal job by Michael and family! He was more than willing to share his story and how each of his unique beers is also a tie between SE Asia and America. Welcoming environment and I intend to make the trip as often as possible! read more

Best local brewery in town! Great company and good is flawless! Top notched assorted Asian brewed beers! "Nyiaj Kub" is the best IMO! Mike and his crew takes care of ya read more
