    Cool door decor
    Tori L.

    The bartenders here were super friendly and knowledgeable. I was very impressed with how chill and laid back the vibe was here. It's a great place to spend time with friends to catch up and have fun. The food was great, had a blast sharing some birria fries with my girlfriends. Will totally come back.

    This brewery is starting to be one of my favs! So glad to be back, I was craving an IPA beer and wanted one from paper back. I am in love with their bunny with a chainsaw BEER. 5/5 This past Sunday was busy inside and the weather was perfect too. I opted to sit outside and enjoy some sun. I love the convenience of the food truck just outside the brewery. Makes having a beer with a smashed burger an amazing time in my books!

    Bunny with a chainsaw IPA. GREAT
    Graciela C.

    I recently discovered Bunny with a chainsaw at my local pub and immediately became obsessed. It is one of the best Hazy IPAs from the area so we decided to visit the brewery. The brewery is awesome and laid back. There's a food truck in front where you can buy burgers fries and other good eats. I tried a bunch of different brews but ultimately the bunny w a chain saw is still the best for me. Definitely recommend the beer flight (5) to try more options. Great place to hang out with friends or a date. Parking on the street was easy.

    Outside shot. They did have an outdoor sitting area but doesn't check it out this time.

    They didn't serve food but they did have a food truck outside. That'll be a separate review. Bartender was awesome. I asked for a stout beer and he gave a good recommendation. The stout was flavorful. The second one I got was a good flavor IPA. The sitting area and the brewery in itself was pretty chill. Decor was great.

    This place is amazing!!! So thankful to have such a happy staff serving some of the best beer in town! Noel and Micah and the rest of the crew are amazing! Service is top notch, beer is excellent, and the atmosphere pulls it all together. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for great beer and service! I'm a regular here and it's probably the best experience you will have, so don't miss out on a chance for great beer and an awesome experience!

    Chill place to have a tasty brew

    Nice relaxing brewery. Many brews, mostly IPA/hazy, the Baby Bunny with a Chainsaw is a very nice New England IPA, and The Surrealist is a tasty Belgian golden sort of like Duvel without the frothy head. They gave me a sample without asking, nice service. Lots of goofy labels on their beers, reminiscent of comic books and pulp fiction. Burger truck outside, kid friendly, almost a family joint.

    My husband & I really enjoyed spending our Saturday afternoon here. He had a cider and I had the seltzer on tap. Both were really nice. The food truck outside was tasty. The bathrooms were clean. The service was quick. Overall, we just really enjoyed the atmosphere.

    We had an awesome time at Paperback! The staff here was so helpful and took great care of our large group. Tons of selection and the bartenders made great recommendations. Awesome vibes inside and out. I suggest the beer garden if you have a large party or want a quieter area to hang out. Will definitely be back soon! Thank you Joe and team!

    Our Go-To Spot - Paperback Brewing We're regulars at Paperback Brewing for a reason. The vibe is laid-back and fun, and the artwork on the cans is just as impressive as the beer itself. Plus--it's dog friendly! Always a bonus when we can bring our pup along. Great beer, great people, and a chill space we keep coming back to. Highly recommend!

    Ask the Community - Paperback Brewing

    Do they always have food, or is it only available during special events?

    The Bun and Blanket food truck is at Paperback daily: Monday-Friday: 4:30-9 PM… 

    Do they also have liquor at this place?

    No just beer

    Are dogs permitted in the "indoor" area or only in patio?

    On my last visit in July, there was a dog sitting just inside the building. He was a very well behaved dog. You have to confirm with management though. I don't know the actual animal policy.

    Is happy hour available? If so, what are the days/time?

    Is this one Kid friendly?

    It can be good for kids during the day.

    Can you bring outside drinks to paperback? My bf loves beer but I can't drink it or sugary ciders; still we want to come

    They were so lay back and fun people, so don't think it would be a problem

    Does Paperback serve wine as well? (asking for a friend)

    No they don't serve wine

It's just good vibes all around. And honestly, every beer I've had here has been amazing. I recently had a sour that I loved. They also have slushies and nonalcoholic drinks. Their NA mojito was great when they had it. Only tough part is the parking but if the lot is unavailable, there's usually street parking in the neighborhood or across Vineland at the meters.

I enjoyed this flavor so much that I ended up getting two more rounds later. Plenty of beer selection on tap and even wine. They offer indoor/outdoor seating as well as some space upstairs. Indoors they have a big screen, and the outdoor patio has a TV. Lastly, the upstairs area has a smaller TV. They also have rotating food trucks for anyone that develops hunger or cravings. They are pet and child friendly; very welcoming overall. I enjoyed visiting once again.

As for parking, it's located in the busy area of Pasadena and centered around a residential area expect to park far or in a parking structure; that means walking! Although, that's not a deal breaker as the area offers plenty to do and all within walking distance.

Why such a long hiatus? The tap list over the last months just hasn't had anything I've wanted to drink. It's been a lot of repeats of things I've had over and over or beers that just aren't appealing -- or, in many cases, both. The Glendale Tap used to have a fairly good turnover of new brews, but lately, it seems to be in a rut. Imports are pretty much never to be seen -- like everywhere else, sadly. Even out-of-state beers are rare. And on my most recent visit, at least half of the tap list was tapped out. IPAs and sours take up so much of the list -- stouts in the cooler months -- while styles like bitters, milds, (non-India) pale ales, brown ales, bocks, amber lagers, smoked beers, etc., get little to no space on the tap list. I still love the atmosphere of the Glendale Tap, and the bartenders there are the best. Prices are fair, and there's always something at least decent to drink. But I miss those fulsome tap lists with a variety of beer styles from far and wide. More and more, the Glendale Tap is becoming too much like every other beer bar. I know L.A. beer drinkers are extremely parochial with very limited tastes (basically IPA, IPA, IPA, and IPA, with some super sours thrown in), but I would hope the Glendale Tap could return to just a smidgen of its former excellence. Until then, I probably will be visiting biannually instead of bimonthly.

    We had been staying in Glendale, CA for our daughter's wedding since Wednesday evening because we…read moreneeded to still do a lot of wedding stuff before she married her suitor of four years on Saturday. Thursday, my wife's sister and her family joined us at the reception hall in Los Angeles to help and after we were done, we drove back to our hotel for them to check in, freshen up, and get ready for dinner after a long day of working. We weren't sure where we were going to eat, so I asked my son and his girlfriend to find a place closeby. They recommended We're Pouring, which met the close proximity criteria, so all nine of our drove over. We're Pouring served delectable food and we received friendly customer service, but eating outside was a little uncomfortable with the recent heat wave and it took a littl while for the food to come out. We're Pouring is located in Glendale, which is 20 minutes away from Los Angeles. It's specifically located on Glenoaks Blvd. and Jackson. There's a Chevron gas station down the road and the restaurant is across from Anoush Dance Studio. They have their own private parking lot, but for a Thursday, the small parking lot was packed with cars, so we parked on an adjacent neighborhood street and had a short walk to the restaurant. The NFL football season had started with the first Thursday night football game, which probably explains why parking was not available and why the restaurant was packed. Initially, we tried getting inside seating, but decided on their outside covered seating area because my grandniece was sleeping. The outside seating consists of a big canopy, wooden picnic tables, string lights, and there were big screen televisions for us to watch the football game. Inside the restaurant, the air conditioning was working really well, it was packed with diners, and it was loud from people watching the football game. The restaurant is not very large and dining inside would have been preferred because it was still pretty warm outside despite us eating out in the evening hours. We received friendly customer service from our waiter and the team who assisted him and checked on us at a good pace. After our food was ordered, it did take a little while for it to come out. I'd categorize We're Pouring as a local sports bar with televisions inside and outside for patrons to catch their favorite sport. When I asked my son to look for a restaurant closeby, I asked him to find one that serves a variety of food. On their menu, there were the following: shareable appetizers, burgers/sandwiches, tacos, salads, soup, pizza, and desserts. It might have been because of the stress of planning, preparing, and making sure all of the details of the wedding are taken care of, but I wasn't hungry for a big meal. I decided to share with my wife an order of Pastrami Fries and Fried Pickles. Both appetizers were a good amount of food and definitely shareable. The pastrami fries come with golden brown fries, topped with chopped pastrami, mozzarella, dill pickles, and thousand island. The pastrami was tender, plentiful, tasty, and combined with the fries and the other components, it really was satisfying. The fried pickles were fried just right, it had a crunchy coating, and when dipped with the spicy remoulade (not too spicy), I just kept eating them. My nephew ordered their Bella Bites, which are garlic pizza bites with tomatoes, basil, and are served with pizza sauce. It was basically chopped up pizza and that was addictingly delish. The start of our daughter's wedding festivities began Thursday with our family driving up to help us set up the reception hall. The festive time continued that evening as we broke bread together at We're Pouring, which serves really yummy food.

There's a nice selection of English and Spanish 80s and 90s music playing in the background and a fantastic relaxed vibe with a great selection of vintage decor and memorabilia all over the hangar building. We sat in the small upstairs area with cozy seating, a large TV and a balcony view of everything and everyone below, including views of the back area with the beertanks. The second level is stairs access only. They are both kid and pet friendly throughout the entire space. There's a small patio area with access only through the front and located to the side of the hangar (i didn't see any heaters tho). There are 3 co-ed restrooms which are only located on the bottom floor near the entrance. I'm not sure if parking gets difficult, but we got lucky with street parking right in front. Something to point out... Although we stayed for an entire football game, we didn't really encounter too many employees during our visit (so not sure if they were short staffed or they don't really go upstairs). We didn't feel comfortable leaving our glasses and trash from the foodtruck and with consideration to others, we bussed our own table/space before leaving. The only interaction with staff was when ordering the beer at the front counter and they were polite. Something to keep in mind... dress warm or according to the weather. The building is an open hangar and although they have space heaters throughout, it got a bit cold when we were there (January)... they eventually closed part of the entrance door, so i guess they felt it too lol! I'm sure it's the opposite during summer, so I guess I'll find out then. Overall, visually pleasing, great use of space and vintage decor, cozy and relaxed vibes. I'll definitely visit again and will be adding to the list of favorites. Fun times!

The only negative thing I'd say is that the roar of the customers against the hard-surfaced walls and ceiling can really get overwhelming at times, but whatever. Not usually a big deal. Just hit the patio if it's too noisy inside. Definitely check out the place if you haven't yet.
