Small intimate brewery with delicious beer. They line up the beers by value light to dark which makes licking a beer easy. The beer was delicious. I had a burger and it came on a tasty pretzel bun. Unique experience. For beer connoisseurs it's a must. read more

Thompson Brewing - Great assortment of small batch beers - American Near Me - Riverside, California

We really enjoyed our night out here. The burgers were great and the pretzel is bigger than your head! And that's just the food. The beer is outstanding and there is a huge variety including a non-alcoholic root beer for your DD or kids. It's family friendly and we had a rousing game of apples to apples one of the many board games on the tables. Can't wait to go back! read more

The beer is top notch! The food is excellent. We are adding them to our Riverside brewery rotation.

What a nice time. Came all the way from Pasadena based on reviews. It was worth it. Had a flight of 6 tasters. Enjoyed each one. Porter was nice and smokey. The Imperial Ginger surprised me - I normally don't like things added to my beer, but the ginger was snappy and worked well with the other flavors. Was looking forward to the stout but wasn't available the day I was there. Family run, happy place. Nice, warm environment. Simple bar food. I recommend getting the Pub Burger, get it open-faced and add chili on top - great! read more

Really good burger! First visit was last weekend. Arrived a little after noon on Saturday and the place was already pretty hopping! I took that as a good sign. If you want a flight, it was $6 and you sample six beers. They had a nice variety of food, I had the pub burger and it was great. Tasted like a homemade burger you'd enjoy at a family barbecue. Two flights of beer and two burgers were about $40. There is communal seating upstairs with lots of board games and card decks to enjoy. read more

I place this brewery as one of three best in the inland empire. One of the rare times that you walk into a small (or large) micro brewery and they have great beers across the board. Yes, on one or two good beers, but all? Rarely or it doesn't happen at all. Maybe I am so impressed cause I have been so disappointed most of the time. Who knows? Try the IPA, Helles, Pale Ale and the stout. Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. Thompson! They earned the title of "A great craft brewery"! Oh, the other two?.............Ritual and I&I. End of story. read more

i really like this place because the mac and cheese is super good and they have games

They have wonderful tasting best beers to choose from. Had a wonderful time there. Folks that run the place are awesome. There food is great too read more

Food is really good service is great and the Smokey brown is bomb. Brain and his team are great.

The tasting room had the ambience of an unruly third grade classroom, and the beer I tried (X-IPA) was something less than okay. Service was friendly! read more

Been here before and it was awesome the family was nice and very descriptive and helpful then we went tonight not so help full. Felt very rushed to order my daughter orderd the mini corn dogs with tots and wanted to up grade the tots to bacon and ranch tots so Corbin the owners kid said ok then decided to charge us for the kids meal and the bacon ranch tots and then discount the tots by $2.00 my husband said wait why is the kids meal now $15.00 then Corbin got a little rude and started talking to my husband like he was stupid and proceded to say because you upgraded the tots but not explaining that he charged us for 2 separate things then took $2 off so it was basically an extra $5 to upgrade the tots which didnt seem correct but Corbin was so rude in his explaining that we decide not to do that. Our food came with way overcooked cold tots which I paid .75 for a tub of ranch for and my daughters mini corn dogs doesn't come with a sauce so I paid an additional .75 for honey mustard. If it costs .75 for a tub of ranch then why am I being charged 5.00 upgrade on the tots just saying so bacon cost $4.75 anyway all the games are missing pieces so we weren't able to play any just a bad experience read more

If you want great beer with a family setting Thompson Brewing is it. I think it is so awesome that we have small breweries like this putting out a great product. When is say product I mean beer with flavor. Brian and Martha make a truly great environment. read more

Great little place. Really tasty food and very well done beers! Some unique flavor beers, as well. There's outdoor and indoor seating, and there's games on every table to play any time! We loved the Louisiana hot chicken sandwich. The burgers were good, as were the chicken tenders! read more

Been missing this place quite a bit. Great selection of beer and looks like they are creating a space that will be unparalleled in the I.E. Just noticed that Sept 30, 2016 is target day for reopening! Huge deal. Will be there for grand opening! read more

Go to Thompson's for your next party! We did our wedding celebration and it was the best. Great food, beer, games. read more

See all

The beer and food were amazing!! Probably one of the best hamburgers I've ever had! The environment is a great family fun mood! Kids, games, great food and great beer!! Loved and we will be back!!! read more

As a craft brew fan, this is one of the best places in the inland empire. It's run by one man and his wife, and it's apparent that they take pride in the beer they brew. They were both very friendly and we all had some great conversations and thoughts about beer were exchanged. I know I'll be back for sure. It's not the easiest place to find but once you know where it's at, it's totally worth it. read more

As a resident of Riverside I try to support local, family owned businesses. This place did not disappoint. The best thing about this TB Brewery is the owner and brew master Brian. I emailed Brian earlier in the day to see if they would refill growlers from other breweries, he responded promptly with a "yes". We arrived right before closing and he went out of his way to explain our flight and checked on us for feedback. There are two things I look for in a brewery or winery, quality and service, this place more then exceeded both. TB brewery, unlike other breweries in Riverside, will be around for a while do to the family atmosphere created by Brian. I ended up refilling two grumblers (32 ounces, around 3 beers) when i went (Thursday is 10% off, around 7 bucks). I chose the Kentucky Common (a bit sour, but good) and the Munich which I really liked. The next day I invited some friends over for a bbq and they loved the beer. Definitely one of the top breweries in the IE, check it out. read more

Thompson Brewing - IE brewery grumbler filled with Kentucky Common from Thompson Brewery. - American Near Me - Riverside, California

Great deals going on every day and great prices on some quality craft brews. it's a small cozy brewery with a great vibe. Get cozy with the other patrons because if ping pong is going on there isn't much room. All in all a great experience that I recommend. read more

This is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to go in the Inland Empire. I recently went and had their Tennessee Hot Chicken sandwich and it was delightfully spicy and delicious. My favorite beers there are probably the Triple IPA and the Chocolate Coconut Porter, but I've liked almost all of the ones I've tried. The chipotle lime sauce is super good too. The atmosphere is very welcoming too. This place is a hit with my friends and family read more

Thompsons is an awesome spot! The food is great, beer is tasty, and Brian and the family go out of their way to make you feel at home! We go there often just to have a few beers and play games.....never had a bad experience!!!!! read more

Amazing beer. And I'm picky. Owners are super nice and funny too. Can't wait to come back. Such a great vibe

Gem of a gastropub/brewery. They have good beer, great pub food, nice decor, and a wide variety of card games available for patrons to entertain themselves with. The family that owns and runs the place are friendly, welcoming, and informative. Definitely worth checking out whether you're a beer nerd, a foody, or just looking to support a local spot. read more

Had an amazing time here. Great food. Great beer. Friendly staff. Family owned and operated. Support these folks because we need more small business like this in the world! read more

My bf and I live around the corner from this place and we were so excited that a brewery opened so close by. They have a bunch of games already out on the tables for anyone to use, which is amazing as we love board games. Their beer is delicious, as is their food. I ordered the Black Current and cheesey sauce brat and he ordered the Ginger and pub burger, everything was great. The staff is super sweet and helpful too, we will definitely be back! read more

Really nice place. Service was great, food was awesome and the beer.....top notch! There were too many kids running around but after a couple of beers you zone them out. Keep up the great work, my wife and I will be back. read more

This place has a really good atmosphere its kinda small but the owners make it really inviting. Prices are very fair. I enjoyed there ipa, and stout. I would definitely go back. read more

Keep confronting your customers that are in the brewing community who are critiquing your brew... flat to say the least...

Pretty good beer, awesome and super friendly staff who don't mind telling you the history of their place over and over, which I assume they do daily. They usually have 4 different brews on tap so you'll have to check every couple of weeks for new stuff. A little hard to find since its set in an industrial park but it's worth the search! read more

I love finding hole in the wall breweries that actually care about the customers input. They let you sample and choose what you want to drink and carry a good conversation. Family owned and very friendly. No food but great beer and staff. I would definitely recommend this place. They have many games to keep you entertained like darts, uno, cards, battleships, bop it, and ping pong. Check it out! Worth your while. fairly priced read more

Got our growler filled tonight and wished we had come in earlier. The owners are so friendly we should go in earlier to enjoy a casual brew on the premises . we truly like the beer and the atmosphere. Can't wait to come back again read more

Super friendly and helpful as I learned about beer! My second time drinking and they helped me and walked me thru what I might like. They were so great. read more

Brian (the owner) was very personable and polite. The beer is really good! I would very much recommend the Munich! Hard to find in industrial but well worth it! read more

This Is A Great Place! Friendly, Great Environment, Great Beer. Corn Beer Is Amazing! Stout Taste Great. Nut Brown Is Flavorful. Price Is Perfect. 5 Stars For Sure! Oh And The Service Is Above and Beyond Great. You Are Treated Like One Of The Family. read more

Great beer selection with a variety of fruity and hoppy beers. Love the intimate friendly feel. Looking forward to the new location.
