    Seaward is tucked away in some commercial warehouse area but is an absolute gem. The tap room is pretty neatly decorated with a clear view of the main operations in the back. There's a second adjacent room with more seating and some space for playing games. We arrived while some trivia was ongoing - nothing quite like classic bar trivia! Even with the trivia in swing our bartender was super helpful in explaining the different brews. I enjoyed the low tide and high tide IPAs - both swell *haha* takes on the hazy though the Tiki Drink came to win. It barely tasted like a traditional beer and instead tasted more like a mixed drink in all goods ways. Overall Seaward is hot spot to check out and worth the visit.

    Delicious beers for sure. This is a small time Brewery and it's rather small inside. Not much going on here, but it was a good time nonetheless. I appreciate the free snacks that they put out which was pub mix, cheeze it mix, and licorice. It would be great if you could get real food here. It seems from past pictures that they used to do that. Either way if you just want some good quality beers, you won't be disappointed.

    My partner thoroughly enjoys the beers at this location! He mentioned that he is not a fan of IPAs but this brewery does it right! Another patron said that their product is high quality! Great to hear these comments about the beer at this brewery! Unfortunately I'm not a beer drinker thus I just appreciate enjoying myself in the outside area among those who enjoy the quality beer! With comments by these individuals, if you fancy this type of beer, stop in for a pint of two and support a local brewery! And many thanks to the staff for bringing out a couple of refreshments for me to try as a non beer drinker! Much appreciated. They do have a seltzer drink! Seating includes inside tables and a patio area outside with picnic tables! Plenty of parking! Prost!

    Ran into this gem while visiting family and it was so cute! They were playing trivia when we showed up but the hostess was very kind and patient while we took our time to figure out what to drink. I ended up grabbing the Tiki Drink which was so yummy! It's orange smoothie, creamsicle and fruit punch. I've never had anything like this and I thoroughly enjoyed it! If I lived here, I'd come back multiple times! Stop by and grab a unique drink!

    Some of the most unique beers I've ever seen. Really cool how this brewery seems to experiment with hops and flavors. I especially love the TIKI DRINK beer with pineapple and coconut cream. It's 7% and a total beach vibe. Can't get enough. The vibe here is super chill. Good service. Indoor seating and an outdoor patio. There was a taco truck while we were there, and trivia is on Tuesday nights. Definitely a great local spot.

    I don't drink beer at all. But Unpotted had an event here so yes! The main lounge is fancy I loved the vibe of the place. Super super friendly people it actually caught me off guard. I'd easily come back here with any of my beer drinking friends just to hang here! Not to mention some arcade games! Chill spot. Definitely have been recommending to others!

    Seaward Brewing delivers an outstanding experience with its diverse selection of craft beers. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, making it an ideal spot for both beer aficionados and casual drinkers. Each brew, from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, showcases their dedication to quality and flavor. The knowledgeable staff and cozy tasting room add to the charm, ensuring a memorable visit. Perfect for a laid-back afternoon or evening out. I especially enjoyed the double hazy IPAs.

    Such a cute, quaint, little spot. I love that the customers there give off a family vibe. They even have for bike tournaments there!! We came in a Saturday night. It wasn't busy at all, and there was a food truck there that was selling yummy BBQ. I like that they serve beer flights. 4 tastings per board. It's Percy if you want to taste a little bit of some, before committing to a full glass!

    If you're a fan of stouts or porters!!!!!! This place has some great options. I'm a major fan of the snickerdoodle!!!!! Like a warm baked cookie . The service was exceptional and helpful. Went for a music evening and seasonal craft fair. Great music and vendors too.. they're local Filipino food truck rocks.

    This is a great brewery. The service was friendly, beer is delicious, the outside seating area is done well. My favorite beer was their Double IPA. I tried their Pilsner, Double IPA, Double Hazy IPA and Hazy IPA. All were delicious. I highly recommend this brewery if you're in the area.

The loft is the perfect place to grab a cold one and watch the sunset. We tried their Hazy IPA and a seltzer--both were amazingly crafted and left us wanting another. We didn't get any food this time, but everything we saw others order looked delicious. They have a pizza place they share space with, there were some really good looking pizzas being ordered. The entire bar has a rustic and nostalgic feel, with charming décor inside and out. They offer free parking in their lot, though it is limited. I highly recommend checking out Transmission Brewery--you won't be disappointed.

Note- the upstairs seating is 21+ , but kids allowed downstairs. The summer selection was top notch! Went with a flight - Blood Orange mule, Sal BuenaLimetura, Hardchata, and Sweet T The names accurately match the flavor profile. If you get a chance to visit when Sweet T Is on the menu, that one is a fan favorite! Our group all loved it. Plus Toppers Pizza Is right next door/shared space- so quality pizza and quality beer all in one stop!

    The Topa Topa on Thompson is my personal favorite location. All of them are great, and each one…read morecarries that welcoming, familiar energy, but the downtown spot just feels different. No matter which Topa you walk into, you see familiar faces. There is a real sense of family there, and I would hate to lose that. The Thompson location specifically feels like home. When I lost someone very near and dear to me, Topa became a place where I could breathe again. On the worst days, walking through those doors made things feel just a little lighter. Sometimes it felt like I was holding my breath all day until I got there. There is a steady comfort in that space. Mama mia, that kind of place is rare. I have definitely "invested" ;) my fair share into the pool table and the pinball machine. Trivia nights with the awesome host, the food pop ups, Nicks Smash Burgers and Ramos Tacos are the best. Being introduced to new bands and almost always leaving a live show with a vinyl or CD by the end of their set. It truly is a community. Supporting local artists and seeing the same people show up for each other over and over again is part of what makes it special. And the beer is unreal. I was never much of a beer person, but a few years ago they pulled me in with Moo Bae then the Althlone Ranger, and then the 4 and 20. My current favorite is The Tux. Every time I go in, that is what I get. I loved when they had more dark beers too. Topa Topa opened the door for me into the craft beer world without ever feeling intimidating. Once you find a place where you feel appreciated and respected, where you feel known, you do not want to lose that. A huge part of that for me is seeing my regular beer tenders, Mike, Lea, Marie, and Zion. They are part of what makes walking through those doors feel like coming home. The Thompson location is that kind of place. Really messed up what you did. EDIT- This is nothing against the newer employees of Topa, but has everything to do with corporate. What were you thinking getting rid of 15% of your staff? The people that have helped build the foundation of your brand. The people that build the individual personalities of each taproom. The people that we have gotten to know and they've gotten to know us. Like I said before Topa is a family. I get that the craft beer scene is getting smaller but getting rid of family is so dumb. Your regulars have developed a relationship with these people. It's so disheartening to go now. When we go we aren't greeted by these friendly faces that know us. You'd think you'd focus more on your regulars you know the people that actually spend money here rather than the "next generation". Like I said, this has nothing to do with the new workers. They're nice. But the people we've developed relationships could NEVER be replaced. The lovers of topa topa do not like this. And I've already seen on Reddit people are saying they aren't going back.

    I wouldn't call myself a big beer fan, but Topa Topa is one of those places that always pulls me…read morein. I usually order a flight so I can try a few different things, especially their special release beers. Two favorites I've loved during special releases are the Ojai Pixie Citrus IPA and Harvest Swoon Sangria-Style Sour. Both are super flavorful without being overwhelming. Their hard seltzers are also a great option when I'm in the mood for something lighter. The Ojai location has a relaxed, welcoming vibe and shares the space with Little Sama, which makes it an easy place to hang out. They also host community events like trivia nights on Tuesdays, which adds to the fun. A great spot whether you're really into craft beer or just enjoy a casual drink in a laid-back Ojai setting.
