    Reviews With Photos - Carbon Nation Brewing

    I'm so excited to unpack my latest order from Carbon Nation Brewing Company! Their bourbon barrel-aged beers are absolutely next-level... rich, smooth, and dangerously delicious (watch out Firestone because you have competition)! But honestly, it's not just the barrel-aged magic -- their entire lineup is fantastic. From delicious selzers to creative ales, ipas, belgians and everything in between, Carbon Nation proves again and again that they know their craft. I love supporting this local, father-son owned and run brewery, and you can taste the passion they put into every batch. Plus, their events are always a blast -- fun, welcoming, and full of good vibes. If you haven't tried Carbon Nation yet, you're missing out. Here's to another box of greatness -- and many more to come!

    Just down the street from Thompson Brewery, Carbon Nation Brewery is a place to visit. Great selection of beers and seltzers. I was in love with their Dark Horse IPA. Very chill vibe. They do have some food vendors. They had some ramen vendor at the time we went, didn't give them a try, but will definitely try next time. Staff was amazing. Gave us time to look and actually taste some of the beers before we picked. Very patient. Thanks Carbon Nation Brewery!

    I love a good family owned small business! This place is awesome. Great beer and really great when they got food vendors there. 100% will be back. I also really love the logos on their beers, whoever does them is so talented!

    Pretty cool place, plenty of parking and a little on the small side but it's big enough. They have a couple of tables and a bar like area with 2 decent sized tvs. They play the current games and the service is pretty good. Friendly people with decently priced beers. They have a whole list of dates for the food trucks that they have come by so that's helpful. Overall it's a good place to go to and the owner and his crew seem like a great time. Happened to stop by on the owners bday so it was open pretty late lol

    Great, quaint brewery. Seltzers are amazing!!! Mix of light-IPA beers. Something for everyone

    I've been going to this brewery for a good part of 2024, and I find that it's one of my favorite places to have a nice cold beer. The selection of beer is excellent, and they aren't afraid of trying different things. One of my favorites is the Bad Monk, a strong but tasteful belgian ale, but I also appreciate having a light and refreshing Apricot Hefeweizen to cool off in the summer. Along with great quality brews, the staff are fantastic. Ted, the owner, is a very wholesome and good-hearted person, and his staff are a pleasure to talk to and interact with. My final note to add are the events, which are a blast to attend. My work schedule doesn't permit me to visit all of them, but I was fortunate enough to visit during Ted's birthday, Art-On-Tap, and the occasional Trivia nights on Tuesdays. The sense of community during these was incredible, and you get a good feeling of the heart of Riverside through the people. With all that said, I definitely recommend visiting Carbon Nation if you're in the area and need a beer.

    Carbon Notion is such a local brewery! You'll see friendly faces and regulars every time you walk in! Monique (beertender) is incredible and super friendly and extremely knowledgeable when it comes to beers! They don't serve food but they usually have food vendors, so your stomach will be happy :) They have an awesome selection of beers and unique takes on classic styles! They also serve seltzers as well!! I highly recommend you check this place out and vibe out with the music they play, the drinks they serve, the service they provide and the movies they play on tv! Kid friendly, animal friendly as well! Cheers my fellow yelpers!

The craft beer flight is a must here as they rotate them out weekly. The service is always great, every time we come in we get friendly smiles and helpful menu suggestions. The atmosphere is relaxing especially their outside dining area. They always have events so check their calendar!

Everything is good but my favorite is anything with their fried chicken and their hot mess sauce - my goto is their hot mess mac and cheese with all the extra sauces. I am obsessed with their homemade sauces.. hot mess ofcourse, garlic aioli, white bbq, and their house ranch are my faves.. don't ask me to only choose one. I don't really drink so I haven't tried their craft beers but they have a wide selection, flights, and togo inventory. I have no pictures because I couldn't help myself. Service: Again, quality is top tier. The staff is fabulous, consistently kind and they are why the place feels warm but exciting. Environment: Love the atmosphere here! They have fun events like movie night, crafting activities, and games (board and group). The most available seating is upstairs and the patio but they also have some seating on the first floor where you order. Parking is good. The establishment is a unit out of a larger building so parking is shared with other businesses but I have never had an issue with parking and I have come here many times at various times. Overall 15/10. Just come here and eat their yummy food and be happy that you listened to this review. Thank you Thompson Brewing, I hope you reign forever.

They use King Trivia for their trivia night, which includes the use of cellphones to create teams, share questions and submit answers. Be sure to have your phone charged before the event. The good thing is that only one person on your team has to run the app. There are prizes for the top teams. The trivia crowd is lively, competitive and always respectful. In addition to the trivia, I've had a chance to try some of their food offerings as well as their drinks. The Brussels sprouts and pretzel bites are a solid choice, especially when sharing with vegetarians. The wings were also really good, even without the sauce. I'm not a big beer fan but I've tried a few of their ciders and seltzers and I've really liked them. They even had one that tasted like Baja Blast!
