The one thing the central coast lacks is a home brew supply store. Most of supplies came from a…read morelocal vendor when I lived in NorCal. Since the move south and retirement I told myself I would get back into brewing. on my most recent trip to San Diego, I was fortunate enough to visit a few breweries in Vista and stopped by SoCal after seeing an AleSmith West Coast IPA recipe featured on their site, I called ahead of time, and the gal was nice enough to start filling my order. My brother-in-law and I arrived and walked in, greeted by the owner's mom. I told her I had called and she was currently milling my grain for me. It had been near 6 years since my last home brew (www.contributingfactorbrewing.com) and I was excited to bust out another all grain recipe. Now if I can only remember the steps. But that too was included in the recipe. Really a great, one stop show for all you beer needs. To be honest, I had no idea on the price but when I didn't have any other options available at the time, this worked out. That said, I have bookmarked them for future purchases, either online or in person. They might be a few dollars more, but it's a local, family run business. Who can't get behind that. So, thanks SoCal for my brewing supplies. Looking forward to an 8 hour brew day and getting my feet wet in the world of home brewing!

However, Jennifer at Beverage Factory jumped right in and alleviated my concerns immediately. She closely assessed the issue and gave me three options to remedy the problem. She ended up coordinating with a local appliance company to come out and repair a hinge on the doors. The service from start to finish was 20 minutes and very professional. It felt like white glove service, with little worry or concern on my part. Very happy with Jennifer and the customer support she was able to provide and we are happy with our purchase.

I purchased a Kegco K309B-2 on Amazon and it arrived damaged. The front door does not attach to the…read moreunit. I am out $800 and several days of wasted time until a carrier can come pick up the damaged unit and a replacement is shipped out. For a premier kegerator line, you'd figure they would have excellent QAQC. It's either that or the door engineering that proves otherwise because the unit was packaged extremely well. Pictures are attached. Apparently, according to internal instructions sent by customer service, the door is supposed to easily slide off only when the silver hinge (shown in the photos) is removed. The root cause appears to be a damaged hinge. It's thick metal so some serious weight had to be applied to bend it. Thank you Jennifer for taking my call on the customer service line, you were very respectful during my time of frustration and I look forward to resolution soon.

Tap room is sweet and Tim and Bill say the food truck makes a mean burger (so I'll be back for that). They weren't open as I was too early (my fault) but was greeted with a smile and a welcoming vibe!

Thanks guys, you two rock!!!

We visited Windsor for the first time to try their tap room. This place is a hidden gem! Wow! From…read morethe outside you can't tell that there is an awesome tap room with an amazing tap list. There is a nice long bar and plenty of tables and seating inside. One of my very favorite breweries is Monkish and they have their Hazy IPA on tap. It was so great to have Monkish beer without having to drive to Anaheim or Torrance. The tap room is super clean and neat. There is a great selection of beers to take home. I know there are a few breweries close by to Windsor but they can get super crowded. Windsor is a great place to grab some beer and relax! It's even better that they have their own parking lot! I would highly recommend Windsors and will definitely be back again!

I recently came in during their 10th anniversary celebration. Because the folks here are knowledgeable and have lots of friends in the craft beer community, there were some gems available on tap. I used to live so close to here and based on the timing of their 10th anniversary, I was right down the street around the time they just opened. Sad I didn't know about it back then, but glad I got to/ get to visit now. It's a store/ small taproom located in the Costa Mesa area a bit south of the South Coast Plaza shopping area. I'm continually pretty blown away with what they had available. The pour prices and the bottles seem to be really reasonably priced. A gem for the craft beer community and just a great place to hang out.
