Lemon lime slushee malt liquor
Nola M.

You can get your booze and then go sit somewhere else with in the food court. The set up is kind of strange. It's like you have a giant warehouse with a bar in the middle of it; surrounded by small kiosks that sell very specific food.

This brewery is tucked in the Rodeo 39 Food Hall. Came here on Saturday afternoon before dinner and were able to find seats at the bar. We shared a flight since we couldn't decide what to try. My bf's favorite was Lucky Fin which was a Japanese rice lager (had some hints of sake flavor) and mine was Ink'd which had some chocolate notes.

Crafting their beer onsite, like, right behind the bar, Bearded Tang Brewing is the spot to hit up at Rodeo 39. THE DRINKS | Beers, wines, ciders, and seltzers. I drunk... - Carlos Danger | Award winning in the American Cream Ale category at the Great American Beer Festival 2022, this beer is refreshingly crisp with a slight yeasty finish. THE BEARDED TANG BREWING FEELS | Modern vibes; it's like your friendly neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name. THE PARKING SITUATION | Free parking outside of the food hall. No issues finding an open spot on a weekday, but weekends could be a different story. WOULD I COME BACK? | Yep, love the exceptionally long bar for everyone to hang out at and interested in trying out other beers.

The Original Hazy (German Hefeweizen) and Vlad the Barista (Imperial Coffee Stout), yummy

I like Bearded Tang Brewing. I think I tried The Original Hazy (German Hefeweizen) and Vlad the Barista (Imperial Coffee Stout), they were delicious. They have a big selection of beers to choose from on draught so you'll find something you like here. They also have wine, cider and seltzer selections. They even have a hard seltzer slushy. They are located at Rodeo39 Public Market, a newer food and shopping hall!  I've come here many times since they opened almost three years ago but this was my first time trying the brewery. They have a free parking lot.  This plaza is pretty busy any time of the day so you might have to drive around to find parking.  I just park a little further out. Service is friendly. The brewery has some of their own seating but there is also a lot of open seating at the market/food hall, inside and outside. I like the casual, yet modern vibes. Price point is fair.

Anniversary hazy

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good brews, friendly staff I've been here twice now and have to say that I'm a fan. Both were occasions when I had some time to kill waiting for people and I've found it to be a very pleasant spot to grab a brew and chill out. They have a nice selection of easy-to-drink selections and both times I ended up ordering hazy beers that were quite delicious. The staff have been friendly and helpful, answering questions, providing tasters, and keeping the counters neat and tidy. They also have a large screen tv playing sports, if that's your thing. I'm sure I'll be back again before too long.

I came here on a Sunday afternoon, it's in an open food court with many different food options. They served beers and cocktails. I had some of their cocktails. My bartender was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. There was plenty of seating on the bar top. Will be back again. It was 10 mins from my house.

The brewery is in a food court that has lots of options. There is lots of parking but it was so busy that a spot was tough to find. The beers: Kristal Weizen German Hefeweizen 2/5 (filtered but shouldn't be) The OG Hazy Hefeweizen 4/5 Rugger Bugger Irish Red 3.5/5 Tangy- Acai Blueberry sour 4/5

This Brewery is located inside of Rodeo 39 Public Market closer to the back of the market. Even if you don't drink Beer, there are other good options! They have Wines, Ciders, and Seltzers. I also saw 3 Slushie drinks. This last time I got a Prickly Paradise which is a Prickly Pear Cider. It is a little sweet and I really enjoyed it! I love the fish logo, a Tang that is bearded (as is in the name) with a pipe in its' mouth! It is just so cute! They are on the Beer Tap Pulls... all lined up in a row! Outside the rear of the market is an area with some games. You can see Bearded Tang inside to see about renting the equipment. They have lots of seating at their bar counter. If you don't want to sit there, you can take your drink anywhere on the premises of the market. I would like to try one of their slushies next visit!

Froze and blue raspberry lemonade
Alex J.

I'm really hoping the beer here is better than the slushees because they were horrendous. I really wanted to get a beer but when I saw the slushees, especially it being such a hot and humid day, I figured why not try something different and hopefully unique or tasty enough to recommend this place. Man was I wrong. I ordered the froze and blue raspberry lemonade slushees, which came to about $22. The rose was gross. So bitter, dry, and absolutely no sweetness like a typical rose would have. The blue raspberry lemonade on the other hand was way too sweet and had no alcohol flavor. It seems like there was no balance between the two, one being way too strong and bitter, while the other was way too sweet and little alcohol.

The part of the menu that's not the ever-changing beer list. (Some of the beers might change, but I wanted to show the flight pricing.)

Gosh tang, that was a fun night. Bearded Tang Brewing is a relatively new brewery that's located inside the Rodeo 39 Public Market. It's been on my radar because it's close to my base of operations during my visits to Orange County, and when I learned that they'd managed to win a gold medal at the 2021 Great American Beer Festival after just a year of operation, I grew even more interested in visiting them despite their lack of notoriety compared to some of the older SoCal craft breweries. I came in and immediately checked the paper menus, finding to my delight that they'll let you build your own flight of beers, with any four of their brews for $12 (including the good stuff). I ordered a few flights, and while I won't go into detail about everything, lest this review turn into a novella, I enjoyed most if not all of the beers and found that almost none contained off-flavors, aside from maybe the pale ale. I do want to mention that none of what I had was actually an IPA! They only have a couple on draft currently, and I didn't quite make it down the menu that far. A lot of lagers and various less-hoppy fare are available compared to the ubiquitous. I do like IPAs, but I give Bearded Tang a lot of credit for their variety. The one beer which I will describe was my last memory of the night (no, I didn't drink _that_ much), and it was the medal-winner. Vlad the Impaler is this beer, and they specifically won the category of Coffee Stout or Porter. There's so much rich coffee flavor in this thing, and even though it felt a tad sweet to start, I grew more accustomed (or maybe less full from dinner) as I worked through the beer. Sometimes I don't really vibe with acclaimed beers, but this one was magical and you've gotta try it if you're a fan of coffee. They may not be Bottle Logic (although they also have a hexagonal logo) or another renowned brewery, but you should definitely stop by Bearded Tang Brewing if you're in the immediate area and want craft beer. Order a flight if you're into that kind of thing. You can sit at the bar or take the beer around Rodeo 39.

Seating at Bearded Tang

Bearded Tang Brewing is a gem in Rodeo 39! We got a flight so we could try different beers. The bartender/service was nice and asked us what we liked and recommended some things. Each one we had was great! We even ended up getting some crowlers to go. When you buy something, they also allow you to play a game of cornhole, which we took full advantage of while we drank outside.

Menu
Jocelyn R.

The service was good. They're seating everywhere where you can have a beer and eat your food there from the other vendors. They only accept card though no cash. The menu shows which beers are "award winning" so it's good to know to try out different ones

Pineapple escape & tangy raspberry and guava
Monica H.

Huge fan of beer. Favs = the Bruery & Monkish. Hate to drop names, but those places will always be my favs in CA. Been here several times, the beers when they first opened were meh, but since grand opening their beers are growing on me. I usually get their IPAs or sours. Friendly staff. Reasonable prices. I always return back lol ;D

Having a good ol' time with good ol' company! A great spot to kick back, drink, and hanging out!

See all

Terrible customer service. Beer tenders dont know how to keep track of their tabs. They think it's okay to throw insults at customer.

Frosé. Perfect to sip on while relaxing at the outside patio. It's a wine slushy with slight sweetness.
