I was here with a ton of other buddies/family friends, and the only reason we left was because we had some late dinner reservations. Otherwise, who knows how much longer we would've stayed! Flashpoint has a great beer selection, but I was honestly a sucker for their seltzers. They were throwing a Hawaiian-themed end-of-summer party while we were there, so I decided to try their POG and Piña Colada flavors. Both were great, but the POG was especially tasty. Next, I went with their Ginger-Lime Seltzer. This was hands-down my favorite seltzer of the night. I immediately ordered another one after only a couple of sips. This will be my go-to order next time I come here! Flashpoint has a fun outdoor seating area that can hold a pretty big crowd. There's also some inside seating where you can hang and watch some sports at. They have servers walking around and checking on tables pretty consistently, which means the drinks are constantly FLOWING. All of the bartenders and servers are really nice and fun to talk to. Had an overall 10/10 experience here. Will definitely return soon!

Fair prices and it's right across from the beach so you can get a dip before you go to Riip!

I tried a sample of their only brown. It was OK but a little too bitter for me. I ended up getting a red ale which was very pleasant and had little aftertaste. Apparently, these guys also own the pizza shop next door (southside). You can order from them directly if you want and can bring it in. But Riip also has their own limited menu. We were shown there current special which consisted and tried a couple...sorry, don't recall which ones but do remember they were pretty good. There's both inside and outside seating. Overall, nice place. You're in the beach area. So expect parking to a little bit of a challenge sometimes. We got lucky and found a spot in the lot.

It seems like they periodically change their menu items and so we're sad to see the Brussels sprouts go but excited to try new and different items. Today we ordered fish tacos and it came with three of them. The slaw, mango pico de gallo and pickled onions were just perfection and gave the tacos this fresh delicious taste. I would only wish they had a grilled fish option for the tacos. We also ordered hatch chili hummus and the hummus was pretty tasty! Also, the pita bread was baked and not fried so it's a healthier option, which we like to have. I almost forgot to mention we were able to order a pup patty( no salt and no seasoning) for our pup, which is awesome because he's hungry after the beach. For beers we ordered mango cart mas (100% recommend it's delicious), trapdoor( my bf liked this one) and ride on the west coast IPA. We also got mango cart MAS in cans to go. I've never been the biggest fan or regular mango cart but the mango cart mas is less sweet and 8%, I love it! Service has always been 5/5 for us and we've been coming here for a few years now. There is plenty of parking. Oh and they have merch by the entrance. I saw a sign that says they have brunch on Saturdays and Sundays! We want to come try but are wondering what kind of food they're serving?

Yeah, on our way home from H.B., we decided let's grab lunch before our hour and a half trek for home began. Golden Road Brewing... We came for you, and you did not disappoint. From the first look, this place screamed a beach-town brewery. Outdoor seating, open concept indoor seating and cool beach vibes that you'd expect from any SoCal beach town. The beer selection is simple; a few Ales, some Lagers, some IPA's, some Belgian beers, a Stout and a Cider. (Basically, something for everybody's taste) And on a nice Spring afternoon, what's better than a mid-day beer? I'll wait... But, But Lance... Didn't you stop here for lunch?? Ahhh, so someone was paying attention! ;) Yes, as mentioned above.... We did get some fried pickles, some fries, some lemon pepper wings, some chicken bites for the kids and for good measure... A Smash Burger baby!!! Hey! When in Rome right? The place is kid friendly, despite being a brewery, and they have lots of different games to take back to your table to play. Staff was chill, laid back and we enjoyed our little break before hitting the road... Golden Road that is, for our journey home. So the next time you are in Huntington Beach, or just passing through, come check out GRB and let us all know what you think.

This review is probably about 10 years overdue, but in a way I'm glad I waited, because I got to…read morewatch the whole story unfold. Long before Four Sons Brewing existed, I knew one of the actual four sons, Drew. Our parents lived on the same block in Huntington Beach, and I'd regularly see him walking home from fishing at the beach. Just a good local kid I knew from the neighborhood. Then I took off for about five years. When I came home, Huntington Beach had changed, and one of the places that immediately caught my attention was this brewery that had appeared in an industrial stretch off Gothard: Four Sons Brewing. I walked in knowing absolutely nothing about it and immediately loved the place. It had that rare daytime brewery atmosphere that you can't manufacture with an interior designer and a marketing budget. Industrial without trying too hard to look industrial, laid-back without being boring, games everywhere, locals hanging out, rotating food trucks outside, and seriously good beer. And I mean the full gamut of beer. You can drink a crisp, light lager that tastes like it was specifically invented for spending an entire Southern California summer afternoon doing absolutely nothing productive--or go completely the other direction into something dark, rich and complex enough to feel like a meal in a glass. Whatever your preference, these guys know how to make beer. Then, on one of my visits, I hear: "Hey Mike, how you doing?" I look up. It's Drew. That's when I learned that the brewery I'd stumbled into was literally Four Sons--his family. His father had started the brewery for his four boys. And suddenly the whole place made sense. I don't know Drew's brothers well enough to speak about them personally, but Drew could not be a better ambassador for what this place represents. He's talented, hardworking, funny, relentlessly likable, and one of those people who seems almost incapable of letting the people around him have a bad time. He even built and installed the games himself. Then I got to watch something pretty damn cool happen. Over the next several years, I watched Drew hustle. I saw Four Sons beer start appearing in grocery stores and liquor stores all over town. It wasn't some overnight-success fairy tale. There was actual elbow grease behind it. Drew was out there getting the product into stores, talking to people, building relationships, smiling, working, and doing it again the next day. And the product backed up the hustle. Then came more locations, including Main Street and Bella Terra, and I remember thinking that I couldn't imagine a family more deserving of the success. But here's the important part: even if I didn't know Drew, I'd still give Four Sons five stars. If Drew were some completely unlikable con artist, the beer would still be good enough to earn a permanent place in the rotation. The atmosphere would still be excellent. The food-truck lineup, games, local characters and unmistakable Huntington Beach flavor would still make the original Gothard brewery worth visiting. Knowing the people behind it just makes an already great product better. The moment that really brought the whole thing full circle happened years later when I went to Tennessee to visit my sister. I walked into a liquor store to grab some beer for my brother-in-law, looked at the shelves--and there was Four Sons beer. A little brewery I remembered appearing on Gothard in my hometown had somehow followed me halfway across the country. I genuinely couldn't have been happier if I'd found my own product sitting there. There's something very American about watching a family build something from scratch, make a genuinely good product, roll up their sleeves, work their asses off, treat people well, and then watch the world slowly start noticing. Four Sons is one of those stories. So if you like great beer, good food, games, local flavor and the kind of brewery where spending an afternoon somehow turns into spending an evening, go to Four Sons. Your hard-earned money is going to people who built something themselves, serve a quality product, make you feel welcome while you're there, and somehow deliver an experience that feels like it ought to cost more than it does. I couldn't recommend them more highly. So Drew--and the entire Four Sons family--here's a toast to you guys. Watching what you built go from a neighborhood brewery on Gothard to finding your beer sitting on a shelf thousands of miles away was pretty damn cool. Keep going. You earned it.

There's truly something for everyone here since they also have N/A choices. For food, our favorites are the cheeky tots and the smash burger. My mom loves their salads, and while their wings aren't our absolute favorite, they're still good. The staff is always friendly and fun, shout out to Pat!

The service is fast and friendly, whether you're going togo or dining in, they are always great. Whenever I have questions regarding the beer selection, they always have an answer waiting. Speaking of beers, they have plenty of house made brews as well as some local and unique offerings. I tend to gravitate to seltzers or lighter beers and they plenty of choices for me to grab. I love the Lavy Lemonade, Flying South, Like Super Profound, and the New Adventures: Nitro. Their menu does change so please make sure to check what they have avoided when you go. The Like Super Profound was a Japanese beer, light but great taste, and the Nitro was smooth. I don't doubt anything on their menu currently is not worth trying while you're there. The food is also great, the pretzel, and wings hit the spot for me and my girlfriend as an appetizer for a movie while we sat and drank waiting for the start time.
