I hate when people ride on others' coattails...but in this case, I am THAT person. You see, my fiancé has a 'Reserve' membership to Bruery and there are tons of perks to it...one of them being a bottleshare in their barrel room. If you've never done a bottleshare (like me!), it's a fun concept: A big, deep table full of ice full and everyone brings something to share. Simply put your bottle(s) in the table and make friends! Their Barrel Room is very spacious- they hold all sorts of events here. From what I gather, their bottle share events are once a quarter. So fun! read more

BLUF: Head here if you want fantastic barrel aged stouts! So many folks have told us to make the drive from San Diego to go to The Bruery. We ended up in the area earlier than planned and so we decided to swing by. Holy cow! Some of the best beer I've had...ever. Huge, huge selection on tap and huge selection of bottles. Staff was incredibly nice and friendly. Tons of seating and super appreciated the very large outdoor tent to create lots of shade. read more

Great brewery! I have always loved their beers but this was my first time stopping. The food truck they had in was good. I was most impressed with the service and atmosphere. It was great to just sit and enjoy a drink. Highly recommend Or Xata read more

The food was delicious we had a hamburger with fries that were really good! The service is awesome the brewery servers are friendly and super helpful. The Ambience is great it reminds you of a vacation spot were you can relax and hear music. You can enjoy some table games or watch television inside or hangout outside. Definitely going back again. read more

After driving by this place for so many years, my husband and I stopped in for a night cap on Saturday. We had already eaten, but the food truck looked great. It was freezing outside and we were dressed in summer clothes. We sat inside, but next time we will definitely prepare and sit outside. The service was great. We enjoyed our seltzers. We will be back. read more

This is one of my favorite breweries, they have a vast selection of beers to try on tap that were hard to choose from. We ordered a couple of flights of beer that we wanted to try out. All were good, some were very strong and bold and some were very sour and refreshing. We had planned to purchase several bottles and cans of the beers we liked, but they didn't have much of a selection for purchase unfortunately. So we were only able to purchase a few items. The service wasn't very good, it wasn't very busy when we came in, the staff didn't acknowledge us right away and were busy talking to each other. It took forever to get our beer flights filled, we were on a beer crawl schedule, so not cool. read more

The Bruery is a brewery that has a niche in brewing interesting-flavored beers. The tasting room is large with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Their brewing facility is the entire block - it looked huge from the outside. Not only do they serve beer (and self-serve water), they also feature various food vendors (different everyday). To add excitement to visits, they also have bingo and trivia days. The staff is friendly and services customers with ease. I personally loved looking at their beer collection - the names and flavors stand out, such as Rocky Road Brownie and PB & Thursday beers. They come in canned or beautiful glass bottles. Prices aren't cheap though. They do have a deal where if you purchase $75+, a flight is free. Overall, this is a great brewery to stop by and I'd come back. read more

Great selection and excellent beers. If you like interesting beers and barrel aged stouts look no further than The Bruery. Excellent selection of bottles to go as well. Very large taproom with plenty of seating. This is one of the California breweries that has been on my bucket list for a while and I'm glad I made it over there. Excellent service and very friendly and attentive bartenders. read more

The Bruery has such super good and tasty beers. Some of the flavors are super unique which earns this brewery five stars with ease. We have had two different beers from this brewery at this point and time and the two we were super impressed with. It was a while back but we had the Bakery Sticky Bun which is a stout. This one I rated very highest on Untappd. Almost as high as one could rate a beer. Almost. This very exciting stout has flavors of Cinnamon, Pecan and a nice sweet syrupy presence. The other beer we we had we were equally impressed with. Perhaps a bit more because I am highly partial to Earl Grey tea. The name of the beer I am referring to is the Girl Grey which is a Belgian Strong Golden Ale. This wonderful beer has of course Earl Grey as it's primary flavor along with notes of vanilla, almonds and Milk Sugar which in turn creates a Herbal presence and a Belgainy effect also. Such wonderful beers. They are definitely for those who are into creative beer styles and flavors. The Bruery uses some real mastery in my mind to get these beers tasting so good. read more

They have a wide selection of beers in various styles on tap and many additional bottled options available to purchase to go. We also especially enjoyed the frozen Black Cherry Gose Beer. It was an unexpected surprise. When we were there, there was live music outside and plenty of seating under the tent. They also had a food truck where you could get something to eat. The items we bought from the food truck were delicious. All three of the bartenders were very friendly and obviously are beer geeks. They know their products and they made great recommendations. read more

Excellent brewery to visit if you're in the area! Plentiful space indoors or outdoors depending on where you want to be. Indoors there are board games, TVs and a variety of beers you can purchase. Extensive tap list with really interesting options. Outdoors, plenty of seating with a huge tent for shade. Super friendly staff. They will allow small taster free of charge. Lots of parking so you don't have to worry about that. My go to are typically their golden stouts or hazy IPAs. read more

5/5 we love the bruery! Best beers we've had in socal. There's always a great selection of tarts/sours and stouts which are my favorites, and IPAs for my partner. My current obsession is Strawberry Charm'd. Service is always good, staff is friendly. I recommend attending some of their events. We've been to two cheese and beer tastings partnered with PiqueNique and LOVE it! I love their outdoor seating, especially in the evening. It's very nicely lit and has space for the pups and little ones. read more

Honestly one of the best places to grab something unique. Service is great but it can get busy. Outdoor seating is available but like I mentioned, It can get busy and tables can fill up quick. Had a matcha beer, and a couple of barrel aged stouts. Including some fruit beers and a beer smoothy. There are very few beers where they were catered to everyone, but by far this one has been the most versatile and the most accommodating for both beer and non-beer drinkers.. There is a caterer every weekend and they switch it up every weekend as well so you never get bored of what food is gonna come swing by this place. Mind you there also live music every other weekend. This brewery is one of the standard breweries( in my eyes) I compare the majority to when it comes to vast options and versatility.always a treat coming here. They have a unique membership as well where there are exclusive batches of beer for members only. Love this place read more

Fun and laid back vibes here. I like that it's family friendly. The beers are full of flavor. Most of the time I can't really taste what craft beers are named after but here, it lived up to the name. Mint tasted minty. Chocolate salty tasted chocolate and salty. I would steer clear from anything housed in wine barrels. In theory it sounds good but it makes the beer taste very mediciney. If I had to criticize something it would be the price for the beer. Very high end price which takes away the fun and ease of drinking beer for me. However, very well crafted in terms of flavor with a low punch in the alcohol content. I'd go back with a higher spending budget so I could try more beers. The peeps working here were all super nice and easy to talk to and not pretentious so that helps me to return despite the cost and the dark industrial corner this places resides. read more

Incredible beer, period. You'll love The Bruery if you love anything Belgian or barrel aged. Throughout the years, the quality of their beer has remained consistently high and the beer list long. The last time I came in, I shared a few flights of their 12 Days of Christmas series. SO GOOD. All of them were delicious. The interior is relaxed with bar, table, and outdoor seating. Families are welcome. They were playing I Love Lucy on the TV the last time I was in (bonus points). read more

A: A normal looking brewery with beer bottles being showcased for purchase. This place has good seating indoors and outdoors. Place is normally not packed unless they have an event going on but even then there is still space to take a seat and enjoy a beer. There are two TVs indoor to watch sports as well. F: they don't serve food here just beer. They do however have food trucks come in daily. I got the banana graham stout which was ok. Thought it would have more banana flavor to it. My wife though, got a really good early grey Belgium beer. That was really tasty. If you like tea, I highly recommend it. They have several different styles to choose from. If you are a member with them, there are additional beers you can get that non members cannot. S: pretty much go to the front and order your beer. Someone will always be there to take your order. read more

One of the best breweries in OC! I always come by for their slushie beers in the summer. Light, refreshing, and the texture of the slushie is really nice! POG is my favorite flavor when they have it on tap. During the winter, I'll pop by every now and then to enjoy their dessert beers/stouts, which they definitely excel at. Girl Grey and Will Ube Mine are always fan favorite among my friends. The venue itself is clean and chill. They've got TVs inside and music playing all around. It's a family friendly (and pet friendly) brewery with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Ample parking too. The staff is super nice and it's always a joy to go back and say hi! They also have food trucks on rotation so you can grab a bite to eat, grab a drink, and relax! read more

Service is great! Ambiance is chill! Food options are cool! But... Not your everyday hangout. Meaning - the price point is definitely higher. It's great for the occasional visit, but my biggest issue is always wanting to buy a bottle or pack of four to take home, yet they're too expensive. I just wish it was more accessible to purchase these great tasting beers more often. read more

We have been coming to the Bruery on Tuesdays for a quite a while now for trivia night. They have a ton of beers to suit anybodies taste including lagers, ales, IPAs, stouts, sours, slushies & seltzers, and even non-alcoholic. The first few times I went, I did a beer flight to to try out several different beers but now I pretty much stick to my favorites (currently Or Xata). They do change up parts of the menu a lot, but the popular ones are always available. If you are a true beer connoisseur they have a beer club and a whole list of members-only beers. The staff is always awesome, and they'll even let you try a little taste of something without having to roll the dice if you're on the fence about a selection. There is a ton of parking available, plenty of seating inside including tables and at the bar, and a big outdoor seating area also. It is often on the chilly side inside so dress warm or bring a sweater/jacket if you get cold easily. They have rotating food trucks there most evenings. I have to give a shout out to Ozzy who does an outstanding job the trivia on Tuesday evenings. They also have bingo nights and other events periodically. read more

The beer is great, don't get me wrong. Just don't subscribe to any of their programs. I think some of them might be scams. TLDR: I've been trying to get a hold of their Society office about a $600 special beer program for over 6 months and have gotten not a word in response. Back in spring 2025, The Bruery sent out an offer to be part of their Private Barrel program, to have custom bottles of beer created with a label of our own design (within some limited customization options). It was projected that the beers would be ready for pickup or shipping in November 2025. I had a friend getting married in 2025 who I thought would be a perfect person to honor with this as a gift. The program was something like $600 for a 12-pack of custom barrel-aged stout with the label we designed. In Mid-June, we received an email with a proof of our label. We had until the end of June to respond to their society@thebruery.com email address with any modifications. The email was initially sent to us on June 18th; I sent my request for a fix on June 23rd. I received no response. On June 28th, I followed up, asking if my feedback had been received. I received no response. Periodically throughout the year and into the fall, I sent emails asking about the label. I received no response. When December arrived and I still had received no response, and my friend had not received the case of beer, I began calling the society office (so far, two voicemails, no return calls) and send three more emails (again, to no response). I'm embarrassed, frustrated, and disappointed to a level that no refund could ever fix at this point. Perhaps leaving reviews like this in public places will finally generate some kind of reaction... but I doubt it. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. This Bruery is right off the 57 freeway and you can't miss the silo. What looks like an office park is the entire brewery with outdoor seats in the parking lot and indoor tasting room. The bruery offshoot beer is a popular choice for IPA so I came down for a visit. The tasting room features flights for a ton of options as well as plenty of beer to go. Tasting room features tables and a bar top and makes your own flights up to 5 I believe. It was a normal mid day not too busy but those who had the time with their kids were enjoying the space. There was a food vendor cart guy outside for those who wanted food on the spot. If you love beer and consider yourself an enthusiast this is the place for you. A decent tasting room for beer aficionados. They have a lot of bottles to go and I'm not too sure but I think they have a membership program. Reminds me of what you get in Wine Country where every few months you get a shipment of new beers to explore. Overall the beer is pretty good, the space is decent for a normal tasting room. read more

A great brewery with a wide selection of beers to choose from with plenty of seating inside and outside for large groups and it's also family friendly which is a huge plus! There's plenty of parking available and the staff here are so friendly and helpful when it comes to picking a beer to try out and they let you sample whatever you want. They have a food truck here every day and have live music here once or twice a week. On my most recent visit today, I tried the Will Ube Mine? and La Petite Provision (2024) and both were delicious and unique! They rotate in new flavors every month and also have an annual membership you can join to try some exclusive brews for a limited time. The Bruery is a great brewery and one of my favorites in Socal! read more

Great place to find a new drink to enjoy. Plenty of variety. Their frozens and sours are my favorite but their stouts are amazing, too! Frozens are ice blended versions of drinks and usually on the sweeter side and low abv. They have a lot you can purchase to take home. Their options vary pretty often so there's always something new to try. They'll typically have a food truck there or some food option. Indoor seating as well as lots of outdoor seating. The noise isn't usually too bad but some people do tend to bring their children so noise level can vary. People bring dogs too. Always clean. Very friendly staff. They have outdoor heating lamps for cooler nights as well. I've even seen them have live music occasionally. read more

They are my favorite brewery on the planet, but I now live far away (Honolulu), so I haven't visited for just over 6 years. I always get tasters, and generally two or three flights of them (up to 5 tasters per flight). And because my favorite beers of theirs are very strong, I take Lyft to and from. Bottom line: An absolute must for serious beer fans, and less so for others. read more

The Bruery should get it's own sixth star. Beyond the deep list of epic and amazingly delicious beer that it is famous for, the team and vibe at The Bruery are truly world class. Special thanks to Brett, Brent and Ashley for hosting my wife's birthday party outside, under their tent. They were amazing to plan with, drink with, and execute the perfect event with. They came in early to prep and overdelivered. Lifetime gratitude award. Thank you! read more

The Bruery is a haven for craft beer aficionados and any and all who crave a quality beer. It's also family friendly which is a huge plus. Their menu selection and variety is impressive with beers ranging from sours to pale ales to stouts. I recommend their build your own flights so you can sample up to 5 beers. There are additional menu choices for Society Members because membership has its privileges! Located in an industrial park near the intersection of the 57 freeway and Orangethorpe Avenue, the Bruery offers seating indoors in their tasting room and also plenty of outdoor seating. I didn't see a kitchen on the premises, but we did pay a visit to the Seafood Shack food truck parked outside. Their culinary creations were both fresh and delicious albeit a bit pricey. I had the opportunity to sample the following beers: - The Good Land, Wheat Beer - Witbier - Helles Lager, German Style Lager - Viaje, Lager - Mexican - Neon Cowboy, Belgian-style table beer with prickly pear and hibiscus - Dolphin.Escapes.Bikes, Juicy IPA w/Kiwi and Watermelon - Absconding, West Coast IPA with Amarillo, Simcoe and Mosaic Hops Every beer that I sampled I would describe as liquid goodness. It was an overall good time with the exception of a poor customer service experience. We visited on a Sunday and there was a young Hispanic male with glasses working behind the counter who was neither friendly nor helpful. I dunno if he was having a bad day or what, but he was blatantly short and rude to three members of our group in separate incidents. Talk about buzzkill! read more

The beers here were just okay. It was like $10 or $11 per pint and the 10% off with check in helped a bit, but I don't think it was worth the price tag. Their hazy IPAs were pretty strong and I had the Retreat. I forgot what the name of my second beer was but it was an IPA. Pretty bitter. Many other breweries have $7-8 pints and maybe charge more for sours due to the amount of fruit used, so until the prices here Retreat a bit more, I'd recommend checking out other places. read more

We came to the Bruery to support our favorite food truck but left as huge fans of the beer. Since it was our first visit, the bartender was very helpful in making recommendations based on our tastes. The Mischief was bold and wonderful, and my husband loved the Check Your Schwartz. Ordering a flight is the perfect way to sample the unique beers on tap. The outdoor ambiance is wonderful, but there is some indoor seating as well. If you're looking for a chiller brewery vibe, this is it. The parking lot is massive, so no need to be concerned about finding a spot. There is only a single restroom for each gender. read more

We've had the Bruery but it's rare and tough to come by in Chicago. We were so excited when we realized it'd be nearby when we were visiting Irvine so we had to make the trek in. Their beers are quite unique. Some of the beers don't work out, that's ok and it happens when you're being innovative. But on average their beers are great and we had some incredible beers while we were out there (and brought some home too!) The venue itself is cool too, they had cornhole, tons of to-go beers, and a great music track going, even though the location could be a bit awkward in the very back of a parking lot behind a parking lot. But the brewery is there, I promise you! Really great service too and they were super helpful when they heard we traveled in from out of state to visit. read more
