Came in to see my younger sibling's band play on local band night. This is a fun little place with a great selection of craft beers, all with music and pop culture pun names. The proprietors are wonderful and welcoming. I recommend you stop in and have a good time. read more

What a cool joint! A couple weeks back I came to Strum in Ontario with a friend to listen to another friend play. There were 3 sets this night, ranging from solo acoustic to rock band to punk band. They were each showcasing their (mostly) independent works, which was fun! The sound system was pretty loud for the narrow, smallish space, but no one minded! In looking at their upcoming offerings, I was impressed with the wide array of musical talent, trivia nights, and deaf/hard of hearing dance nights. The walls and counters display art by local artists. LGBTQ + flags are present. You got games available to play over here and community fliers to peruse over there. Wanna buy some jewelry by an Indy artist? Got that too! Overall, the vibe here is cozy, welcoming, friendly, and really feels like a hub for folks to gather over a pint. The community spirit is solid. My seltzer was delish! The friendly bartender suggested an addition of raspberry, so yes indeedy, please! Mmm! My friend liked her beer, but she likes hers icy cold, so she said she would've enjoyed it more if it had been colder. Indeed, beer not withstanding, it was pretty warm inside, and could've done with some airflow. At a point someone opened the front door. We knew from parking in the back, that there was no entrance/exit there for a breezeway. If you do park in the lot behind, you'll need to walk around the corner. If you can get it, there's street parking. Overall, I enjoyed my night at Strum! It's the kind of place you're sure to meet some folks, chat a bit, drink a bit, and enjoy live music! read more

Strum Brewing Co. is hands down one of my favorite spots! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, relaxed, and full of great energy. The beer selection is fantastic--everything I tried was fresh, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. Whether you're into lighter brews or something a little more bold, there's something here for everyone. A huge shoutout to Kim, who made the experience even better. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about the beers, and went out of her way to make sure we had a great time. It's rare to find service that genuine, and it really stood out. Great drinks, great vibe, and amazing people. Strum Brewing Co. absolutely nailed it. I'll definitely be back soon and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a top-notch brewery experience! read more

Was there last night to support a friend, my biggest issue with any place that serves drinks is not having enough bartenders they had one serving the entire night To wait in that line it's just not worth it. I'd rather get nothing. It's never made sense to me to not have at minimum two bartenders. It's a benefit to the company the more drinks you served more money you make it took forever just to get a beer, which is why I would pass on coming back. read more

Had such a great experience at this brewery! The service was amazing, and we even got to chat with the owner's father who shared some background on the place--he was incredibly sweet and welcoming. The beer was excellent, and the customer service really stood out. Plus, the location is super cute and has a great vibe. Definitely recommend stopping by! read more

Went to check out the brewery today. What a great time. Nice, open configuration. They have a great selection and like all breweries, some are outstanding while others aren't for me. I asked for recommendations and they were cool suggesting diff beers. They had a live band that was a little loud, but then again, I'm older lol. What was really cool and a little different is they had an artist named "Wayne" who was doing penciled characters sketches for tips. This dude was great. His art looked so realistic and it was fun getting some sketches done with me and my wife and we had him draw the Strum Brewery in background so we had something to remember our first visit there. We will return many times Over. Hopefully Wayne the artist will be there read more

Strum was amazing and the beers are great. Met some great people and listened to good music.

Really great vibes and the beer is exceptional, "how are the things" was my favorite! Give them a try if your in downtown Ontario read more

My son's band performed at this brewery and I found it to be one of the nicest and friendliest that his band has performed at. I'm not a beer drinker but the lovely lady bartending (whom I believe was the owner) was so helpful and inquired what flavors I liked etc. She allowed me to sample some beers and tailored a drink for me that was delicious! The environment was very welcoming and cozy and I enjoyed sipping my beer and listening to great music. read more

Very cozy bar and great atmosphere. The owners are the knees and made us feel very welcome. Lots of cool events, hi check them out.

New owners. So thought id check it out again. Good ambiance. Good beer. Glad to have a local brewery. They also have comedy night once or twice a month read more

Strum is a friendly and welcoming brewery. Although it is quite small compared to other local breweries, the beer and the staff make this place great to come to. They have a cat named Nugget who is extremely well trained and they occasionally give her some treats in exchange for a fist bump; which is really cool and cute. Strum has the occasional comedy nights that are free, they always put on a great show and it's great to support smaller comics. Most of their beers are great, a few seltzers have been a miss but I am always looking forward to coming back to try more. It's also great that they have a touch tunes! read more

Ash and the workers are so nice they are the best and I love the service he is so nice and attentive and best of all of he doesn't discriminate read more

First stop on a night of brewery hopping. I got the mango lager. The mango flavor threw me off. This beer didn't have to be brewed. I'm sucker for trying things though. However, the service was good and the space was nice to enjoy a brew. I look forward to coming back and trying more beer. read more

When you're here, you're family. Anna and Christian are some of the best people I know. They've worked their butts off to bring great beer, great vibes, and great people to downtown Ontario. Come down and grab a mango IPA or strum-a-rita seltzer and say hi to their adorable (but mildly moody) brewery cat, Nugget. I'm so lucky to have a place where I can feel safe and comfortable just down the street from me. Thank you to Anna and Christian for always welcoming me with open arms. We love Strum Brewing!!! read more

Great people here! Loved the environment! Beers a bit too hoppy for me but found one I like so I will be back for the great atmosphere for sure! read more

Stopped in to meet up with some friends from church for some brews and fellowship. This is a nice spot on Euclid ave. In downtown Ontario. It was my first time there and servers were very friendly and took my order right away. One of the patrons there had her cat that looked like a mini leopard. She must have been a regular, as the servers let him walk on the bar area. I like breweries that are animal friendly! My first beer was a brown ale which was pretty basic. After that, i ordered a guava IPA, or something like that, i cant remember the name, but it was amazing! I will definitely come back again. read more

Beer was okay, nothing to write home about. Major issues in the interior. Owners keep a cat and let it walk all over the counter and space. Allergies beware!!! No AC!!! Do not come here on a hot day. It was about 80 degrees inside and I was sweating while sitting down. read more

No better place to drink in Upland. You are giving your money to a family owned business that consistently gives back to the community. They help with the Ontario Art Walk and are so kind. Their Instagram famous and tiktok famous not for their beer but their cat Nugget! Who is hypo allergenic by the way. I am so glad to drink their handcrafted beer. Everything is made by them. Catered to the wellness and care only Filipino woman know how to give unconditionally. I want you to come here and have a drink! read more

Cute little spot in Downtown Ontario. They have games to pick up and play. An awesome cat who greets you too! I tried the Blueberry seltzer and enjoyed it. I'll be back to try more of the drinks. Thank you Strum Brewing. read more

First time visiting, unfortunately it was during summer heat wave with triple digits. Which didn't help the quality of beer as it was served warm from the long journey in beer line with only insulation covering. Only had one pint of SBC and it was delicious but wish I could have enjoyed it at proper temperature. Great location in DT Ontario and service was friendly. Will stop by again when I return during fall to catch some of the entertainment and hope cold beer. read more

Best atmosphere and vibe here at Strum. The brews are great, the service, incredible, and I'll keep coming back for more. And to top it off, Nugget the Cat is the star of the show over there! Best. Cat. Ever. Some people like to comment that having a cat is gross, but I beg to differ. Some people are just too negative and their light is quite dark, but Nugget makes EVERYTHING better! Don't hesitate to check this place out. I hear their Micheladas are pretty good too. I wouldn't know though. I like their strawberry blonde and a nuzzle from Nugget. read more

Ambiance was chill and relaxing but the Mango IPA was the worst I've ever had. It turned my stomach sour. I'm sorry for the bad review but Strum needs to take a hard look into that brew. read more

Great place to get a delicious beer and hang out with nugget the brewery cat. There are great beers to choose from and the vibe is great!

Was at the car show in Ontario and came into strum brewery to see what they had & now I'm going to recommend it to everyone! The owners here were super nice and the beer was amazing. The strawberry blonde was the best beer I've had in a while. Definitely recommend to anyone ! read more

I've been to this place a few times , the location is great . A few things I don't like every time I come here. The vibes are just off the servers aren't very knowledgeable or they don't go over the beers they have in house, also not welcoming. they just stare and wait for you to order . They should be more friendly considering it's a family brewery read more

The beer is just BAD. I took home a four-pack of 4 different beers, each with the same horrible aftertaste. It is almost like that brewed with spoiled hops. For the price, I forced myself to drink it. I love craft beer and always try all the local breweries. I cannot understand how they have high reviews for such horrible-tasting beer. All there is to say is that I was bummed with Strum and will not return. read more

There is absolutely NOTHING they don't do well. I never go there with the intention of breaking into the "Sausages" skit from Kids in The Hall on the car ride home but here we are again LOL! Yeah, they know how to pack a punch into a tasty beverage so be forewarned and buy some to take with you to drink back at home. I've been a patron since the old place, and seriously, these are some of the kindest, most welcoming and most supportive brewers (they support their fellow breweries) in the Inland Empire. I highly recommend them. My only recommendation is that you find organic catnip to bring as an offering to Nugget! read more

Cool place to hang! Beers are great and the people are really friendly. Stop by. Parking can be a pain, but worth it. You can bring in your own snacks/food, but please don't be disrespectful and make a mess. They have bags chips for sale. read more

Honestly thought it was gonna be a good one but the cat on the counter, gross. Cats carry feces on their paws. Not my vibe definitely never going back plus the mechilada was the worst I've ever had. read more

Great drinks! Love the strawberry blonde ... bartender is friendly and helpful. Love the space and music. Cat ‍ is a great addition too.

Place is a good spot to have a beer. Just wish it was a bit colder but the staff is awesome. Had the new system and it is awesome great flavor start to finish. read more

Great Spot!!!! Nice Brews and they let you bring in food such a plus!!!! Owners are very friendly great local spot. Service is awesome!!!! They make you feel at home I wanted to walk around in my underwear...that's how comfortable... read more

Seriously this place is easy to miss. When I walked in I felt like I walked into my buddy's garage who just converted it to a bar and let their friends garage band play in it. It really has a great feel to it. This is not a polished, slick place. It's friendly, kinda homey in a brewery sort of way. Puppy Souls! A pale ale with a plethora of hop flavor. I really didn't particularly care for this one. The hop flavors really lingered on my palate. Chile Con Corny, a cream ale with roasted hatch Chile's. Chile beers are not my thing, but this one worked pretty well. It had the flavor of the hatch Chile's without the real spiciness. I still wouldn't order a pint of it but of the ones I have had over the years, this was the best. SBC is a light ale with calamansi. Yeah, I had to google that myself. Calamansi are basically a Philippine lime. This had a nice light lime aroma and flavor. This was a very good beer, especially as hot as it was today. Geauxinue is a tamarind Gose. Yes, Gose seems to be the new IPA. It's amazing how few Gose I used to run across but now it seems like every third brewery or so has one. I ran across this article a few years ago about Gose and it cracked me up... https://www.thrillist.com/drink/nation/craft-beer-is-dead-gose-ruined-craft-beer Anyway, the tamarind Gose was definitely a Gose. I didn't particularly get tamarind from it but definitely did get a sweetness. Not great for me, but not bad. Chillin' With The Homies is a 70 shilling ale, which actually costs more than 70 shillings I'm pretty sure. This was a nice lightly flavored reddish colored beer. No overpowering flavors st all. Definitely a session beer. Blackity Black Black is a decent coffee-ish Stout. Roasty, coffee flavors on the nose and all the way through. A very decent beer! Peanut Butter Stout (Warning contains peanuts!) if I didn't know what it was I wouldn't have identified peanut in it particularly. Perhaps a little peanut on the nose but not in the flavor. I didn't particularly like this one, though in fairness I think peanut butter beers are overrated anyway. It could just be me... Nothing at Strum really stood out for me. The beers are not bad by any means just none really wowed me. I would stop in again, and probably will although it is a little out of the way for me.
