Stopped by for beer and lunch driving up the 395. Beautiful day in December with a good crowd enjoying the mild weather on the patio. There is indoor seating when the weather is not as favorable. Both beers were very good, JLB is a known for decent beer. What surprised me was the food truck, it was absolutely amazing. I went with a carne asada quesadilla that was amazing. Everything on the menu and other people's plates looked great as well. Highly recommend the short diversion to June Lake, 2 miles, for beer and bites. In fact it's now on my list for a couple of days over the summer. Cheers read more

The vibes of this place is fun for a small town vibe. The server was super sweet and helpful when ordering. There is very little seating which was hard as we were a group of 8 so we just had to stand around outside in the cold. The lager was your traditional lager but tasted more bitter than others I've had. read more

What a cool place! A short walk from where we are camped, Golden Pine RV Park... They offer a great selection of their award winning beers! We had the Hockey Fight IPA and the Deer Beer Brown Ale both are awesome! Very friendly and helpful staff! Loved the suggestions! Cool vibe, music cranked and fun decor outside like Adirondack chairs made out of skis, lift chairs to sit in and even a dead gondola outside haha! Theres inside seating as well as bar seating.

They seem to be a staple in this small community and I definitely plan to come back before we head home! Highly recommend! Locals and visitors! Enjoy!! read more

June Lake Brewing - Chicken Mole' Enchiladas - Breweries Near Me - June Lake, California

Best brewery in June Lake (not sure there are any others), but still the honors are there and worth a visit if you are visiting the Mammoth Mountain area. And this is coming from a craft beer fan. We stopped here after a fall hike and were not disappointed. I have had their beer and thought it was pretty good, so worth coming to the tap room to try out some others. They have some flavorful IPAs with fun names (Dipsh!t Dragon or Ninja Turtle. Hockey Fight and Juiced Marmont were once I tried off mountain). They have inside and outside patio seating and normally have a food truck cooking up something good. Parking can be difficult but don't give up, it's worth it read more

June Lake Brewing is such a great brewery, honestly one of my favorites given the location, selection of beers and staff friendliness. My friend Katie has been representing this brewery for years and when I came with her this time around I quickly understood why it was one of her favorites. We spent everyday here and I honestly can't wait to come back again. June Lake Brewing is the only brewery in town and also the only non-cocktails based spot to grab a beer or a cider. It's in walking distance from any of the motels downtown so easy to get to. It's a little tucked away off the main road but there are plenty of signs to find them and if you ask around everyone knows where it is. An indoor / outdoor concept brewery. Indoor is smaller but it'll still fit a good amount of people with an L shaped high top bar and a few tables inside. Outside there are a bunch of picnic tables and also some heaters for when it gets cold. The majority of people sit outside as it's just so beautiful. Dogs are welcome outside near the picnic benches. Inside there are two individual bathrooms but I didn't scope them out. The staff here are so welcoming and friendly. Coming here over the course of two days we really got to meet most of the staff and everyone was so nice and welcoming. I know dealing with tourists can sometimes get a little annoying but there wasn't any of that attitude here. They are grateful for all of their customers and instantly make you feel super welcome. Everyone was friendly, fast and knowledgeable around the beers. 5/5 for the vibes! Prices are extremely reasonable and flights are $12, those are fun and I did a few to get to try the majority of their drinks. They have live music currently on Saturdays, bingo on Sundays and trivia on Wednesday. It was nice hearing some live music when we were there. They don't have their own food here but there is a food truck parked outside that we frequented a good amount. Serving up classics, Mexican staples and desserts it's much needed when you find yourself here sipping beers for hours like we did. My ranking from most favorite to least favorite (but still liked) of the beers/drinks I tried would be: FAVS! 1. What the fruit kettle sour 2. Oishii Japanese lager 3. Hellraiser Kolsch Honorable mentions in order 4. Bang Sauce Cider 5. Lager for Jogger 6. Hockey Fight IPA read more

We came to the June Lake Brewery after hiking to get some refreshments. Although I am not a beer drinker, I enjoyed the hard seltzer mixed with "what the fruit Kettle Sour". The Kettle Sour was too sour by itself. When it is mixed with the hard seltzer, it was just the way I like it. It was delicious and refreshing. Don't get fooled by the red color and sweet taste. This drink does contain alcohol, more than some beers. My husband had the flight of beers where you can select four different drinks. That is the best option if you cannot decide what you want. You can also ask to sample the beer before deciding. Staff here is friendly and service is quick. One drawback is that they don't serve food. There is one food truck parked right outside the brewery but I wished there were more food options. Ambiance of this place is lively. read more

Beers were all awful. We shared two flights and I found only one that was possible wirth a full pour. The food truck was great though. And the overall vibe, location, and service was great. Just wish the beers were good. read more

JLB is a true Eastern Sierra hidden gem. We made a stop here on the way to Mammoth and I am glad we did. While they don't serve food here, there is a food truck on site. We grabbed some tacos from the food truck that were great. The beer at JLB is what shines. We ordered the What the Fruit Sour and the Peach Hop Water. The sour was amazing. One of the better sours I've had in a while. The hop water was good, but not much hop or peach flavor. I'd like to see that bumped up a notch. I also sipped the ninja XPA that they were trying to clear out and that was a super tasty and balanced take on a pale ale. The service here is counter service only where you order your drink and then pick it up. I always get a bit peeved when the minimum tip on the screen is 20% when I'm ordering the drink and picking it up. The space at JLB is definitely more of a summer space. They do have some seating indoors but luckily it was a nice day when we visited. I don't know that JLB would have been as busy on a chilly day. The outdoor space is incredible though. Lots of covered and open seating. I'll stop by JLB again, but I'll most likely wait until next summer! See you soon! read more

Always a fan favorite when visiting June Lake. They have a small seating area indoors and tons of seating options outdoors. Also, have a few games. They have a Food Truck that serves great food. Mexican and American food options. Their Burritos and tacos always hit the spot. Very tasty. Especially their red salsa. They have quite a bit of beers on tap. If you're unsure what to order the people behind the bar are very helpful. read more

Love JLB! We stop by every time we visit June. Music and atmosphere is perfect after a day of hiking, fishing, or chillin on the beach. Taco truck is a perfect pair with the delectable brew. read more

This brewery is one of the great things about June Lake! If you're staying anywhere nearby, it's worth the stop. We stayed at a nearby campground and walked a mile to get here! The beers are all solid and there's ample outdoor space. There's always a food truck too, with a pretty extensive menu. The staff all seem pretty chill and attentive. read more

If I'm able to, I try to make a stop at June Lake Brewing every time I pass through the Eastern Sierras. There is a lot to love about them, and it is a gem of a spot in a gem of a region. For starters, it is a small place, which I love. Not exactly hole-in-the-wall, but just a counter ad a couple tables inside, and a big outdoor seating area. You're surrounded by gorgeous mountains, and it is just a fun place to hang around at. Plus, the food truck they have parked out back is excellent, with some great tacos and such. The beer is also very good. I think my favorite is their two session IPA's, both very smooth and delicious. But the Milk Stout is nice, as is the Extra Pale Ale. If you've been out hiking, nothing is more refreshing than a few of the pints from here. Prices here are decent, maybe around $8-$9 per pint, and service I experienced has been pretty darn quick and friendly, even when there is a longer line. Not really any downsides to speak of, apart from the parking situation. June Lake, the brewery and the town, are very small places, and so parking can be a big issue. So be watchful for a spot in their lot, but if it's full, just be aware there is very little street parking nearby, and there is usually lots of pedestrians around. So yeah, definitely has been, and will remain a go-to stop of mine whenever I'm in the region. Glad to always swing by, and I'll be anxious for another round. Cheers! read more

June Lake Brewing is a great place to grab a post snowboard beer. They have inside seating as well as outdoor tables. They also have a food truck outside in case you get hungry. The cherry on top is the old gondola and chair lifts outside! read more

June Lake Brewing (JLB) is all the vibe as the local watering hole in the lively June Lake area. In addition to their indoor section, they host a large playground of sorts in the form of their outdoor lot. Said lot is outfitted to host the perfect little hangout. The lot contains plenty of seating -- most under a canopy -- two food trucks, and, overall, laid back vibes. Their outdoor lot does seem to have been a makeshift decision and due to the number of people it is capable of holding, the indoor bathroom is not able to cut it on its own. Solution: Portable Bathrooms. Said bathrooms do make the grounds look like a construction site, but, yea, I get it. As for beer, they are known for their hard seltzer, Bang Sauce, and slushies. Their classic offerings are varied as they should be. Two DIPA's on tap -- Hutte and The Ocho -- were strong, but not the best (old and a little metallic). The no dog policy is a turnoff, but my understanding is that their insurance has banned all dogs on the premise due to a previous bite incident. Not exactly bogus, but certainly the first I have heard of such an arrangement. If anything, they need proper and obvious signage that no dogs are allowed as the workers are annoyed having to constantly kick people out and the dog owners also get turned off especially when a worker is clearly giving them a bad attitude (witnessed this a lot during my short visit). The place has most of the markings of a laid back brewery, but their no dog policy is really hurting that brand. read more

Hands down one of my favorite breweries! June lake brewing is always a must stop when we're in the area. We stock up on beer during our stay, and grab some extra for home! While I'm not typically an IPA girl, their variety of IPA beers are all smooth and enjoyable. My personal favorite is the bang sauce hard seltzer. Although, it's not your typical seltzer and I think favors a kettle sourish taste, fortunately kettle sours are my favorite! read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Fun brewery with a nice selection. I'd been meaning to visit for a while and finally got my chance on my last trip to June Mountain. We got there just as they opened so no problems finding a table. I got a pint of their rice lager, which was light and crisp. I got some cans to go for a gathering later that night: more of the rice lager and their barrel-aged stout, which got raves at the party. Spacious with a friendly staff--definitely worth the stop. Food truck on the premises also! read more

Wonderful beers, food, live music, and vibe!!! Landed here after a long hike and loved the experience and fare! Alpers Trout Pale Ale hit the spot, a nice balance of flavors and hoppiness. Looking forward to our next visit!!! read more

June Lake Brewing is a great establishment in the town of June Lake. There is a food truck on site for food and plenty of outside seating. As with the town itself, the establishment has friendly and laid back staff. Their selection of beers leans towards the lighter side with Pales Ales and IPAs. Didn't see any stouts or porters. It seems to be a place where many people congregate for a good time. read more

Good vibes here! If you want a great place for beer, you won't be disappointed coming here. You can choose from different kinds of beer on the list. We tried 'Hockey Fight' and 'Don't Cross the Stream.' 'Hockey Fight' has a good fruity taste, but I loved 'Don't Cross the Stream' more. Some of the seats are chair lifts, and we loved sitting there and enjoying the live music. You can also get food from the food truck next to them. I suggest ordering from the truck first before you start on the beer, as the food usually takes a long time (30+ minutes). read more

Great beer, great staff. We showed up with our dog not knowing they don't allow dogs in the outside area. The girl at the checkout (sorry I didn't get your name!) could not have been nicer about it. We ended up getting our beers to go and I was refunded the price. This is a great local business with next level beer and even better service. Will for sure be back the next time we are in town. read more

Third year visiting June Lake Brewing and have always had a good time except this visit. Myself and a group of 8 who all purchased drinks sat inside and played the ring toss game (game provided by the brewery). While playing and cheering for the winners one of the female bartender's came over and told us to keep it down because her coworker was hungover and we were being too loud for her. While she wasn't rude about it, I feel it's a really strange and unprofessional thing to ask of your patrons. It was really off putting and ruined our mood. We left after one drink . If the issue was that we were being too loud a simple "can you please keep it down folks" would have sufficed. read more

We love coming here for the food and -of course- the great beer! However, the obnoxious music this week made it difficult to enjoy the brewery space. Yesterday heavy metal-and today a gentleman on guitar playing great sets of '70s but his amplifier was incredibly distorted making it difficult to understand and enjoy his sound. JLB has done better with their music in the past and I trust they can do it again. read more

This place is definitely worth stopping by and having a cold beer or two. Great ambiance and the food trailer makes excellent food. The service here is top notch as the employees go out of there way to explain and answer any questions regarding their beers. If you like beer make sure you give this place a try! read more

If it was just about the beer, I could give 5 stars. But then great beer is no longer a rarity. The don't take cash! so -1. Is it even legal to refuse legal tender? But that is a rant for another time. However, they do have 10 and 20 oz pours so they get the point back. But then the music (and I use the term loosely) is god-awful and makes it difficult to enjoy the beer. Finally, they don't allow dogs even though they have a dozen or more outside tables! Only place I have ever seen that doesn't allow dogs in the outdoor dining area. Though the brewery does not serve food, there is a food truck that serves Mexican food that ranges from awful all the way up to mediocre. In summary, if you hate dogs, love rap and bring your own food you will probably like the place and enjoy the beer. read more

Great place to hang after a day on the slopes, shoveling snow off the car, or making a quick trip to the general store for supplies. Many beers on tap, I favored the red ale. The staff is friendly and chill. The nearby ski resort closes bar very early, but no worries! June Lake Brewing steps in nicely. The place is pretty low key, a bit humid (like an indoor pool) when you enter. Not too many tables, but the vibe encourages sharing benches. If avoid sitting too close to the bathrooms - too much awkward traffic. read more

Cool staff and vibe, so friendly. They gave me a free beer that they accidentally overpoured.

June Lake Brewing is alright. The beer was decent, with a few solid options, but nothing I particularly loved. The atmosphere, however, was not really the vibe we were looking for (may just be personal preference). When we arrived early noon, they were blasting heavy metal, just kind of loud and chaotic for what we were expecting. That said, with limited options in June Lake, it was still a decent spot to hang out, and the food trucks added a nice touch. While I wouldn't go out of my way to come back, I'd probably stop by again if I were already in the area. read more

My girl friend and I really enjoyed this place. We loved that there were females serving beer. We were helped immediately and found a food truck on the premises. You're allowed to eat that food inside the brewery. They even give you a buzzer so you can wait in the brewery while your food is being cooked. We had a pastor quesadilla which was spicy and packed with flavor. The decor is fun to look at with lots of patches in the wall and a floor made of pennies. read more

We went recently in Oct 2023 and they had this sour beer that they had just released that was absolutely amazing.

Affordable flights and the staff was friendly. read more

June Lake Brewing is one of my favorite beer spots in CA! There's nothing better than enjoying a crisp, refreshing beer after a day of hiking or hanging out at the lake. They have plentiful outdoor seating, laidback vibes, and awesome beer. I'm a big fan of their west coast IPAs, but I also enjoy their porter and blonde. The bartenders are always helpful and let me try a few samples. The food trucks are great - I highly recommend the Hawaiian food truck! It's also fun to grab a 4 pack to enjoy at the lake. :) Can't wait to come back! read more
