    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.

    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!

    We always have fun at paperback, it's a laid-back neighborhood type vibe that is unpretentious and friendly. I love sitting in the old airplane hanger and seeing the brewing vats in the background and enjoying the cold treats that came out of them. If you want food there's usually a food truck out front. The service can be slow if they're busy, but the servers are always friendly and helpful.

    Paperback beers have fun names and intricate comic art on their cans, and the ones we've had have all been great. They have comic-illustrated "library cards" so you can keep track of what you've tried. You can also buy cans to take home. The inside area is usually packed. There are picnic tables outside, some with umbrellas. Even at the busiest times, there's always a spot somewhere. The best part of Paperback is their partnership with Bun & Blanket smash burger truck. It's a permanent fixture outside the brewery, so you can get your fix every time you come. The best smash burgers I've ever had. To be noted: they do allow children and there are always families there. Also, parking is difficult to find in the area.

    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 a great place to gather and drink with friends and friendly strangers. It's bigger than you think, too, since besides the main room it has a mezzanine, a private room near the bathrooms, and an outdoor patio area. While they don't serve food, there are always food trucks or other food vendors there. I also love the community events they put on. And social clubs even have meetups here. 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. Please keep being you, Lawless! ily

There is plenty of street parking around and the place is walkable. I visited this past Friday for the soccer game (Brazil Vs. Haiti) and noticed it was not extremely packed as it was the night prior (Mexico had won). Walked in and formed line to place my beer order. I went with "Big Screen Energy" IPA 8.2% imperial/double. 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.

    The Glendale Tap is located on the corner of San Fernando Road and Magnolia (considered Glendale/LA…read moreon that side of town already) I wanted to visit this brewery before heading down to the other one on the same block. Plenty of street parking around the area. On the inside, they have A/C running, pool tables and plenty of seating as well, they have two small TV's that I could see. It was not packed or crowded at the time that I arrived. They also have an outdoor patio with more seating as well as another pool table. A very chill atmosphere and plenty of beer on tap to try. Featuring wheat beers, sours, India Pale Ales, stouts and all styles in between. They even have a jukebox inside to play the jams. Interior is giving "mechanic shop" vibes and even offer "canned beer to go" Service is great and friendly as well. To cool down, I decided to try one of the beers on tap: IPA-American "Diamonds and Gasoline" 6.4% made by Cellarmaker Brewing Company Oakland, CA. I decided to get a 10ouz pour. Very smooth and not overwhelmingly strong. Refreshing and tasted perfect during a hot Sunday afternoon. Plenty of activities to do here while you enjoy your beer or any other cocktail of your choice. I wish I lived closer since this is a chill spot to come out and hang. Gald I came by and checked them out. I recommend you visit them if you are nearby this location.

And of course, the abundance of beers on tap - it's just so many. And, I don't know how they do it but every single beer I tried there was fresh. There must be around 60 different kinds, not sure how they keep all fresh like that.

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!
