This microbrewery is just west of the circle in Orange. There is plenty of street parking on a Tuesday evening at 6 PM. There were several beers categorized from sweet to dark. My lager was perfectly perfect delicious. The cost is reasonable. I joined a Meetup group which happened to meet at Chapman craft beer. They have lectures on a regular basis here. This was the last of the season. We listened to Dr. Adams from Chapman university discuss quantum mechanics and relativity suggesting we should reject the time evolution picture. Per the event description, the Dr will: "illuminate(d) the complexities of time suggesting that our current frameworks may limit our ability to grasp the deeper realities of existence." the subject matter is intriguing. And the Q&A was fun. The event was well planned. Boy, did we have fun! There was reasonably priced smash burgers outside that tasted amazing. I did not look to see if there was vegetarian options. The gentleman cooking said that they went to different places to cook and were not always here. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. We will be back. read more

Been here several times before. Met the owner, Randy before at another bar in Fullerton and he was a really cool guy, so I like to support businesses who have cool owners. Beer is always consistent. Please make your West Coast Pilsner again, it was delicious. The person working the counter yesterday said there are no plans to make it again. They took out the ping pong table inside, which is another bummer. But they put up this huge 200inch TV on the wall that looks amazing. read more

Jerry for the win-- we left something behind and didn't realize Chapman closed early at 8 and he was a stud and still helped us secure it! That's great customer service right there. Everyone's fave beer is the Slow Riser. We tried two new ones: the brown and the Hazy IPA as recs from Jerry. He wasn't wrong, they were pretty tasty! There's ample sitting and we love the low key vibe. read more

Love this little brewery! It's a fun chill hang w friends for trivia or to watch sports & catch up. The bahama mamma seltzer is super good

Excellent selection of beers. I like how the menu is organized: light, hoppy, malty, dark, etc. Indoor and outdoor seating areas are both nice. I miss the ping-pong table. read more

I've been to Chapman Brewery about 2-3 times and overall it's fine. Their IPAs and hazy IPAs are okay, but nothing that really stands out. The best beers I've had from them were at other events, not actually at their own brewery. The space itself is mostly outdoors, and even though they technically have indoor areas, they leave all the doors open so it gets cold, so definitely bundle up if you're visiting in the evening or cooler months. Every time I've been, it hasn't been very busy, which can be a plus if you're looking for a low-key spot. read more

For me personally the IPAs fell a little flat on flavor. The pale was my favorite. My boyfriend got the fruity beers and I found those more enjoyable. I have had the kool kids out in town and love that beer. The tart peach wheat ale was delicious!!! Even though I have my option about the IPAs I still found beer to take home to WA with me:) Also the venue is amazing! Massive spot with so many games. If I loved here this is a hang out spot for sure! read more

We came in during chili fair at Old Towne Orange on a Saturday. It was packed with people, the atmosphere was so lively. The line to get beers was long but it moved rather fast. We liked double IPAs and barrel aged Stouts. The staff and crowds were so friendly. Everybody was in a good mood and we had a great time as well! read more

Our beer passports brought us here and I'm so glad it did! We will definitely come back. As a fam with young kids, the hubby and I are always looking for the best breweries to grab a beer but also let the kids run around and everyone has a good time. We loved this spot, the beer was great, service was great. I loved that there was room for the kids to run around while mom and dad could just chill. Plus love how close it is to the circle. Will definitely be a spot we keep coming back to! read more

Nice brewery located close to the Orange Circle. They have a good amount of seating, TVs, and outdoor space (which is perfect if you have kids). Beers and vibes are good here. Sometimes they have a food truck. Great spot! read more

First time here, for a friend's small wedding gathering and got to try a few of Chapman's signature brews. This place is spacious and can accommodate quite a lot of people. It's interesting that they also use to have their own coffee house here as well. Tried a few of their beers ranging from a fruity blonde ale to their signature look kids double IPA which packed quite a punch at the end of the evening. My only gripe was that they have only one restroom and towards the end of the night, the wait for the restroom line got a little out of hand. Lots of games outside to keep everyone entertained. Overall, tap selection was plentiful and everything tasted great! If you're in the Orange circle area and looking for a place to chill and grab a few beers with friends, check them out. read more

I just had my 40th Birthday Party here and it couldn't have gone more perfect. Jen Gonzalez, the event coordinator for the brewery, facilitated the event with great communication and even better execution. I don't even think my party would have been able to happen without her cooperation and the staff's service. They were all incredibly accommodating and friendly. I had about a 150 guests and I rented the outdoor patio which was just the right amount of space. We had our own private bar and the beer options were fantastic. Our own caterers were allowed, and we pretty much were given carte blanche with the decorations and entertainment, so it felt very personal. Jen helped us plan the geography of the party and the flow of the night was very smooth because of it. All my attendees repeatedly told me how perfect the space was for the party. In fact they told me it was one of the best parties they've ever been to if not the best. I cannot rave enough about how well it went and I will never forget this evening thanks in part to Chapman Crafted and their team. read more

I was here for the first annual chili cookoff. It was a blast.There were 15 or so cooks. A couple only entered people's choices, so judges didn't get to try theirs. They have several craft beers brewed on site. You can get them on tap or in cans to take home. They have a few TV's, games like Jenga, Corn hole and others. Food isn't served here, but they get food trucks. Being close to many restaurants, you can walk to one of them to get your food. This is a cool place to have a few brewskis with your friends. read more

Love going to this brewery that is close down the way from Old Towne Orange. Easy street parking as we never had a problem finding a spot. Cool and chill spot. They have a large outdoor area as well as an indoor open air spot with TVs to enjoy. Don't forget, the beer is great and love the merch! Always super nice people serving beer too. We'll be back! read more

Awesome place! Great Vibes! Good beer and great service. This is the place to come to for a good time!

Hit the day market and loved the chill vibe.. great beer, friendly folks, and tons of dogs for our pup CRC to mingle with. My husband went for his usual IPA, I got a smooth dark beer, and we scored comfy seats among the quirky layout. Local vendors added the perfect touch. We'll be back for more tail wags and tasty pints! read more

Since we're locals to Orange and met @ the Circle - we could not think of anywhere else to have our Wedding Reception than @ Chapman. Jen was our Coordinator who was amazing and structured our vision to a T. She was very thorough in discussing details, provided so many options for us regarding catering & even decor! The day of the wedding, those who were Onsite accommodated our crew to make everything seamless and w/o hiccups. The bartenders were great, the food was fantastic, the beers were beer'in & our guests had a wonderful time! From a Bride standpoint who didn't invest in a wedding coordinator; Jen communicated everything perfectly and I was absolutely stress free. I can't thank her enough for helping Us, in making the vibe we envisioned for our Big Day, come to life! Salud! read more

Chapman Crafted Brewery in our favorite Old Town Orange. Slightly off the beaten path... Chapman crafted is a local and family owned  business committed to making well crafted beers! I'm glad we found it!!! Their goal.... to create a unique beer drinking experience... I think they have my vote!!!! We had AWESOME  barbecue from PearTree Meats BBQ during our first visit. Pulled pork and brisket which was absolutely divine. We had Crispy Tacos and Carnitas from MK El Corazon de la Casa.

My new go-to brew pub! The building is a very cool, vintage industrial building with lots of indoor and outdoor space to relax and chill. The beer selection is extensive. I had the Guilty of Haze IPA and Old Towne Fest Marzen, both were outstanding. The staff is friendly and helpful. Looking forward to my follow up visit! read more

First time here. Good beer. Great setup to watch the wild card game! Definitely worth coming to watch a game and have a few cold ones

We have hosted several events here and it's been such a great experience. The event coordinator, Jen, is so easy to work with. The space is so flexible for any type of event and they're always willing to help get your event going. While they have no kitchen, they have great connections with food vendors who are there weekly. I would definitely recommend this space for adult events. read more

Wonderful local spot with a wide selection of beers including some seltzers. Had my fiancé's surprise 30th birthday party here in the Barrel Room. Jen was a wonderful help over the months of planning, always quick to respond and very flexible and accommodating to my requests. Kat took wonderful care of us at our private bar set up in the party and I'd highly recommend hosting an event here or simply stopping by to try what's on tap. read more

Very nice little brewery with good tasting beer. Lots of parking behind it and there's a walking path form the public parking. All the employees were very polite. There's things to do while your hanging out. Table tops were kept clean and very nice breeze flows through and plenty of lighting. The only I thing I would like to see if possible would be food trucks because they don't serve food but there are plenty of places near by to get food. read more

Love this spot down the street from the Orange Circle. Not only do they have amazing beer, but the vibes are immaculate. The staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful - like I don't feel lame if I don't know a lot about beer. Service is 10/10! The ambiance on the patio is great for large groups and we've had many informal gatherings there in the past. There is also a ton of seating inside in the off chance there is bad weather. All of their beers are great but I personally enjoy their IPAs. PARKING PRO-TIP: there is usually a ton of street parking on Cypress, but if you're not feeling lucky the big public structure is a short 5 minute walk away. read more

Came here for a friend's birthday a couple years ago. This is a solid brewery.

I want to go on a Thursday when El Brewjo is serving food! read more

Chapman Crafted Beer is a terrific stop for any craft beer lover. The variety of choices, and flavor profiles, distinguish Chapman's tasty brews from the swath of taprooms on the landscape. I recently produced a stand-up comedy show at Chapman. Jen Gonzalez, Chapman's proactive event coordinator, was a pleasure to work with; and helped to make the event a wonderful success. read more

This has turned into my favorite brewery. The beer menu always has a good selection but I cannot get enough of their brown ale called Still the One. And it is my number one all night here and in my dreams until the next visit. So, I'm sure there is more delicious brews you may like. The beer tenders are very cool and helpful making a suggestion and friendly. They have four packs on most and can always fill up a growler for you to go. There are two rooms and an outdoor area to hang out with a group a couple or even solo, you will have fun no matter. Friendly environment and tvs showing sports games. Either BYOF or they have rotating food vendors on site. Omega Burger stand is a short short walk next door. All street parking and blocks away from the block. Great location, great beer, great place so best believe you will have a great time. read more

(Tasted 06/08/21 TU @ 2:00pm): I was in the area for a business meeting when as I usually did, I checked the trusted Yelp app for any breweries new to me, and luckily Chapman Crafted Beer came up only minutes away.

SERVICE Greeted by a friendly young woman behind the counter, she patiently gave me the rundown of their beers and easily set me up on my two flights during my time there. There was no table service (although someone came by and cleared away any empty glasses), so you had to return to the counter each time. Everything was chilling and easygoing here! PARKING (FREE) I found what I believed was a public lot behind the brewery around the corner. Otherwise, it seemed there were plenty of free parking spots along all the surrounding streets in this part of town - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An open interior and exterior (the patio was really nice!) setting with many tables and chairs throughout, a long counter inside where you placed your order, and minimum decorations https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=T1rvCpITTHwXbKoZlhrSXA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. It was family and pet-friendly, so bring them along. Plenty of natural light entered through the several openings in addition to the outdoor patio area while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I couldn't recall any TVs, but awesome alternative & indie rock music played in the background (e.g. The Clash, The Smiths). https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=BNjwVCm3ecfYvUqW-o88_g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Chapman Crafted Beer was a wonderful find and would definitely return if I was ever in the area again. Sadly, I don't recall ever seeing their beers in any of the bars/restaurants or stores in L.A. County; hopefully, that will change. They sold only snacks onsite, so you were allowed to bring outside food but unsure if they had a food truck schedule. Plus, they had a Tuesday Trivia Night. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $41.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

I've always wanted to visit this brewery. I finally did and I wasn't disappointed. The taproom was roomy and felt like a brewery. There was also a lot of outdoor space. However, only one restroom here is criminal. I can't imagine how long of a line forms when it's busy. Now for the beer, I got a flight. None of my beers were knock off my socks spectacular but they were all very good. So much so that I wish I could have a full pour of all of them. Another thing I liked here is the big menu and the variety of beer. I'll definitely be coming back here to taste more beer. read more

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a pint, and impressed by the spacious patio and industrial vibe inside. Plastic furniture was a bit rickety, but they had lawn games and space for kids to run around. The IPAs they had seemed to trend hazy, and we tried a couple different ones. Solid but nothing mind-blowing. Bartenders were friendly and efficient, and we took a 4-pack of a different West Coast IPA home. Nice spot to quench your thirst with some friends if you're in Orange. read more

Pretty nice brewery tucked away in the side streets. I probably wouldn't have found this place if my friends didn't already know about it. Because of that, the spot is not crowded at all. In fact, we were practically the only party there on a Saturday night. If you're looking for something chill and feels like you rented the entire space out, come here. Plus, it's very spacious with lots of seating. After dinner, we came by to grab some beers and play some cornhole. The string lights give a nice ambiance and we were loving all the throwback music too. I tried the POG and Pilsner, which were light. Beer usually isn't my thing, but the space was chill. read more
