Latest reviews from Anaheim
| 84 /100 1621 S SINCLAIR ST “Dropped by on Sunday at 7PM (they close at 8 PM) after going to Disneyland with my family. Completely dead. Parking lot is empty, and I am the only one there, chatting up the bartender. Super nice. 16 beers on tap. $2-3 for 4-5 oz pours. All of good quality. Easy parking in warehouse district. Highly recommended.“ |
| 70 /100 1301 SOUTH LEWIS ST “First review (and hopefully not the last given RB LA decline) for Rad brewery. 13 beers on tap. $2 per 4-5 oz taster (gotta love the price coming from Bay Area). Sunday at 8PM ( close at 9) it is 100% dead. I am the only one there chatting baseball with the bartender. Good beers. No fame, no BA beers or sours. A few hazies. Pretty good.“ |
| 40 /100 Kings Liquor and JR. Market (Grocery Store) 500 W. ORANGEWOOD AVE “Close to Disneyland. Close to my hotel. Quick place rating. Sort of like a typical liquor store, but with a surprising few gems, like Bottle Logic Scatter Signal for $30. A few locals. A few single cans. A decent place to drop by if you are a desperate Norwegian trying to maximize ratings, or a geek trying to get a better place rating, Otherwise avoid.“ |
| 32 /100 Spirits of St Germaine (Grocery Store) 1770 S HARBOR BLVD #124 “Typical liquor store. Lots of crap with the excel of 3 flavors of Chinatown (awesome, but not worthy of giving them a good rating)“ |
| 60 /100 Umami Burger - Anaheim (Restaurant) 338 S ANAHEIM BLVD “Close to Disneyland. In the center of 3 breweries within 2 blocks: Unsung, Modern Times, and Monkish. Umami burgers are fantastic, maybe the best burgers ever. $10/ burger is worth it. The beer selection is small, but a good selection including three Floyd’s, stone, bruery, etc. I would never buy a $8-$9 beer here though, because there is much better beer at the breweries next door, for cheaper.“ |
| 88 /100 549 S ANAHEIM BLVD “Literally a crazy 44 beers on tap. A ton of hazies and IPAs. A couple of seltzers. A bunch of Pilsners. 4-4.50 on average for 5oz pours. High Bay Area prices. Great beers, but Usung is across the street wit $2 for 5oz. Crazy world we live in. Still I high super highly recommend them.“ |
| 76 /100 500 S ANAHEIM BLVD “Wow. First to enter and rate. LA is a ratebeer deadzone. Conveniently located between Monkish and Modern Times. 20 beers on tap. I’d say average beers. No BA beers. Kettle sours are meh. Hazy IPA are very good. Good to hit up for a triple place rate. $2 for a 5oz taster is the best around.“ |
| 88 /100 336 S ANAHEIM BLVD “Good luck rules the day with a trip to Disneyland on the same day that Monkish opens a new branch in Anaheim. 20 taps of deliciousness, which including a couple great BA sours, tons of hazies, and a crazy awesome .BA Life Sized on tap. Parking seems impossible at first, but with a 4 minute walk, there is plenty. Very popular on first day. Highly recommended.“ |
| 86 /100 1931 E. WRIGHT CIRCLE “Right beside Disneyland. Lots of parking, but also lots of people on a Friday night. The brewery is quite large. Maybe 20 beers on tap of various styles including 2 BA barleywines, an awesome blueberry braggot mead, hazy IPA, pils, etc. They have some cans including 7 non alcoholic beers from Bravus. Definitely recommended. I’m surprised I’m the first to rate the beers and location. I think LA RB community must be small.“ |
| 90 /100 1566 W LINCOLN AVE “Tasting room and brewery conveniently located right off of 5 at Lincoln. Not too far from the Anaheim Packing District places, either. Seemed to be plenty of parking in the business park there, but it was only me and one or two other couples in the place when I visited.
They have a decent patio area outside and then there is the main bar area inside with a big bar and some tables along the wall. Nice view of the brewhouse from the bar. Pretty sizable place.
Really friendly and knowledgeable staff here who were nice to chat with and also knew about the beers.
They have a bunch of cans in the fridge near the bar and a big selection of beers on draft. I opted for a handful of tasters, though they also do full pours and crowlers/growlers. They had a good mix of pale lagers, pale ale, IPA, double IPA, a vienna lager, and sour stuff during my visit. Might have been a stout or two on as well, but wasn't in the mood for that. Beer quality has been quite good on the stuff I've tried.
Glad these guys are making good beer. Will have to make this a staple in my trips down to visit the wife's family.“ |
| 74 /100 1174 N GROVE ST “Tucked away in a quiet, large commercial park, it's about a 25 minute walk from Bottle Logic. Modern, clean, slick tasting room with a beautiful patio out front. Massive taplist of almost 50 taps, with The Bruery, Bruery Terreux, and Offshoot beers. 3 oz pours of everything, with flights of 5 available (my flights were $17-18 plus tax). I've never really been a fan of The Bruery's beers. On paper, they're doing everything right: brewing ambitious, extreme beers, pushing the envelope, and are very ticker-friendly in their tasting rooms. But for the most part, the quality just isn't there. Their imperial stouts lack complexity and depth; the adjuncts often don't integrated well. Their sours are often quite vinegary and lack good expression of the wild yeast. This continued to be my impression after this visit. If in Anaheim, it's a great spot, but I just don't care for their beers for the most part.“ |
| 98 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “A world-class place that totally matched, if not exceeded, my high expectations. Small, modern interior, with lots of outside patio seating with umbrellas to give you some shade. They had about 20 taps when I visited, with a bunch of smoothie sours, 9 IPAs/IIPAs, and 7 imperial pastry stouts. Small pours / flights available, up to 6 at a time. I scrolled through everything with my wife over the course of a few hours and was extremely impressed in the high-quality of pretty much everything on tap. I don't know if there's a better brewery out there for pastry stouts (maybe Cycle? It's close), and their hoppy stuff also stands up among the best. Very friendly, efficient service. They have no food, but often have a food truck parked out front (not great for vegan options though). For the quality you get, the prices are very reasonable (usually $4-4.50 per 4 oz pours of the pastry stouts). If you're anywhere in greater LA, you need to come out of your way to visit here. Incredible brewery.“ |
| 90 /100 549 S ANAHEIM BLVD “This is another absolutely gorgeous and elaborate MT location. When I visited, they had only patio seating, but covered nicely with umbrellas, so there are plenty of shady spots. Large taplist of about 30 beers (including ciders and selzers), with 5 oz pours of everything ranging from $3.75-8 depending on the beer. They served everything in plastic tasting cups, which are not the usual flimsy things you sometimes see, but still aren't optimal to showcase their high-quality beers. Competent service, not all that friendly, but efficient. If on the Anaheim side, this is another world-class MT location worth visiting.“ |
| 86 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “Visited in 2019 around the time of the Beer Geek Observation release. Took a flight with 6 different beers, all were ok, nothing exceptional except for 1 or 2. It's clear to me that I prefer their pastry stouts above the rest. Staff was extremely friendly and interested, great service (we even got a handful of stickers extra). Food is available but from a food truck outside.“ |
| 72 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “Their best beers arent there, a dissapointment“ |
| 60 /100 2210 E ORANGEWOOD AVE “Massive industrial building across the street from Angels stadium redone and made to resemble a giant party. The best part for me was the food menu, which was really creative and delicious. It's crazy noisy, so it was really hard to talk to friends. The bartenders seemed disinterested in talking about the beers, likely because they were focused on just taking orders and working as fast as they could cause the bar was extremely overcrowded with long long lines. The beers were forgettable and the menu (~20 beers) was narrow in terms of styles. If you're looking for a party atmosphere with great food then it's worth a visit, but it didn't make any impression on me about their beers.“ |
| 80 /100 Nfuse (Bar) MARRIOTT HOTEL, 700 WEST CONVENTION WAY “A good selection of draught beers and excellent service.“ |
| 86 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “Old check-in from 2/21/18.“ |
| 74 /100 1174 N GROVE ST “very well organized place to have a wide selection of sour and wild beers. must stop if in the area for anyone interested in this part of the spectrum.“ |
| 86 /100 1174 N GROVE ST “Warehouse space not too far from the original brewery and tasting room. Decent amount of space and a bunch of tables and ledge/counter space here. A nice patio outside, too. Not a huge actual tasting area inside, but it's never seemed overly crowded when I've been.
The beers here definitely focus on the Terreux (wild/sour) side of the Bruery's portfolio, but they also have plenty of barrel aged stuff and some of the Off Shoot hoppy beers both on draft and packaged. The draft list here is enormous. It's Bruery beer, so lots of beers that are some combination of: high boost, weird ingredients/combinations, very sour, heavily flavored. I like coming here though as you get to try tons of stuff for a relatively low price if you do flights.“ |
| 48 /100 1211 N LAS BRISAS ST “Maybe I went on an off day but this was a horrible experience. i ordered a flight and the main beer my buddy and I wanted was tapped out. The bartender informed us they were completely out and made us choose another...We will get to those later. A few people came in after us and ordered the double red ale, the same beer we tried ordering. Needless to say they switched it out right in front of us and filled up their pints and never even mentioned that they actually had the beer we originally ordered. Strike one.
So I requested their cherry pie mead since they didn’t want to give me the original beer I ordered. Bad move on their part. This was one of the worst tasting thing I have ever tasted at any brewery EVER. It was not mead. The taste was like drinking apple cider vinegar straight up. HORRIBLE. Strike two.
My buddy to his amazement topped that with his passion fruit mango tea cider. How can you go wrong with a name like that? Well they must have been out of that too because the concoction they gave tasted identical to dish soap! Like Dawn mutha fuckin dish soap. Strike three!
Three strikes and I’m out!“ |
| 88 /100 1174 N GROVE ST “Visited in February 2017. Great place with many great beers available. I just loved the funky yeasty aroma in the air. View to a barrel storage was amazing.“ |
| 64 /100 1211 N LAS BRISAS ST “This is one of my favorite places to hang out and get a good cold beer. They are great brewers and cool people. Stop by, and pick up some supplies, have a cold one. Great time!“ |
| 82 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “Smooth operation here. I was as knocked out with their vast selection of ipas as I was there amazing ba stout on tap. Prices were great as well. This is a must stop.“ |
| 70 /100 1621 S SINCLAIR ST “Not much to look at, and the server was brusk with not much of an opinion on what to order, "my pallet could be different than yours." Grow a pair and make a recommendation, you’ve had the beer. Despite those, the beers are really solid, as I enjoyed all 5 hoppy offerings I had. Their hazy’s are on point. I’d be come back, fair prices and so close to other stars its a must visit.“ |
| 68 /100 2970 E LA PALMA AVE STE D “6 May 2017. Soft opening week. Tiny little brewery. room is about 15’x60’, and that includes the cooler and brew system in the back behind the bar. Only four beers on but 9 taps available. Wifi was out but should be on eventually. Bar staff was very friendly. There were a number of people here despite it just opening and the atmosphere was pretty chill.“ |
| 96 /100 1174 N GROVE ST “This place is amazing. Great patio seating, great indoor area amoung the tons of barrel aging beers. Tons of their beers on tap (40ish) with some tap room only beers. Great ordering process that made it easy to get a bunch of tasters (there were so many I had to try) and a food truck parked outside. Such a perfect beer stop. Could just keep going to this one while in the area, just great.“ |
| 74 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “Nice setup and ambiance in an industrial strip mall type location. They had a descent selection of their own beers on tap and the ones I had were solid, but average. Nothing stood out to me, well made but they were average for the most part. Tasters were a tad expensive. Tasty food truck outside. Was pretty busy on a Monday. Not sure why there is so much hype around this one, it was good, but I much preferred Hoparrazi like a minute away. Worth a stop though if in the area and I would try it again if in the area.“ |
| 82 /100 1174 N GROVE ST “We already planned a stop at the original Bruery location, when I found out this place just opened up, so we made a very quick detour to have some stuff on draught that they didn’t have at the other location. Mainly tried some of their fruit stuff. The Frucht beers are really tasty! I like that they try to expand their horizon by brewing some lighter stuff. The interior is very nice and welcoming. We had a great time. High tables, service at the bar.“ |
| 80 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “Visited Monday evening, 6/27/2016. Place was absolutely packed - it was trivia night. It has a nerdy/engineering/inventor theme, from the decor on the walls, to the tables and benches, to the names of the beers themselves. About 12 beers or so on draft. Flights offered at varying prices. Food truck on site.“ |
| 80 /100 1211 N LAS BRISAS ST “Friendly service. Innovative beers. Warehouse/wood/barrel decor. What’s not to like. Brisket Sannie and fries were good. January 2017 - cook/chef actually consulted me in detail on how my steak was desired and how he planned on accommodation. He really did a great steak.“ |
| 100 /100 1174 N GROVE ST “This is the Disneyland of beer! if you like sours and big delicious barrel aged beer this is the place. As soon as you walk in you can smell the love. These guys do it right. Our server Chris aka "the golden palate" was so great. We had 20 tasters and his recommendations were spot on. He was also extremely knowledgeable when it came to selecting bottles to take home back to Oregon. This a really cool spot as well, tucked away in an industrial area of Anaheim. Right as you walk in you see the stacks of barrels, really cool for a beer geek like myself. Definitely a destination if you love beer.“ |
| 92 /100 2610 E KATELLA AVE “Huge place just outside the railway station.. 5 taps plus seasonal beers too.... id say could get very busy when the Angles are at home...“ |
| 58 /100 1313 S HARBOR BLVD “The ambiance is really happy, the few beers are allright, but the prices are rather high. (but everything in Disneyland is expensive)“ |
| 90 /100 1174 N GROVE ST “Sours galore over here. Was visiting the area and an old friend took me over for a flight. 3-ish oz samples are a couple bucks each. Loved the indoor and outdoor seating options. Staff is very welcoming and friendly.“ |
| 70 /100 1211 N LAS BRISAS ST “Actually not bad. Little brewery slash homebrew shop, with a mix of Ales, meads and ciders. The Saison was a tad too sweet , but the meads were very good. 5x 4 onces for 10$. If you are in Anaheim. Limited food menu, and the wings looked good.“ |
| 80 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “A great tap house, with a good mix of lagers, Ales, sour, some barrels, all well executed. The tap room is well decorated, and the service was efficient, given the place was packed. Samples are a tad expensive, on average 3$for 4 onces, but if it’s your first time, go for the Constant, 5 X 4 onces for 8$. Food trucks rotate on a daily basis.

| 76 /100 The Iron Press - Anaheim (Restaurant) 440 S ANAHEIM BLVD #205 “Visited on 30th April 2016, Saturday afternoon. This bar is situated on the upper level of a regenerated and refurbished old orange packing shed. The whole place has been converted into hip/cool/high end eateries, bars and twee shopettes on two levels. This joint has 24 taps from mostly local breweries and does Burger type food. We just tried some beers, no flights though. Young girls behind the counter of long, thin bar, no beer knowledge but pleasant enough. Lots of Iron Work about, hence the name. According to the young ladies the beer selection is always changing but the food menu is constant. I thought it fine and liked the vibe of the whole packing shed refurb. Only a block away from the Anaheim Brewery and Tap, which is where we went next.“ |
| 80 /100 1621 S SINCLAIR ST “Tasting room is fairly small, but staff is fast and friendly. Plenty of variety. Food truck was outside. I think the beer makes this a more enjoyable space. Needs more room.“ |
| 80 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “The last of four Anaheim breweries I visited on this trip. This one was pretty much on par with Noble and The Bruery as far as the quality of the beers is concerned, maybe a slight step above. A couple pretty experimental styles and a few standards. Nice line up. Very nice tasting room as well. Good layout, comfortable and larger than most. Lots of seats at the L shaped bar and a bunch of tables. Of course, I ended up getting a flight which they served in small tasters dangling from a taster tree. Kind of cool and different. The service was good and they had a killer food truck outside. I was happy. Another one I’ll definitely go back to when I’m in the area.“ |
| 84 /100 1621 S SINCLAIR ST “Visited on a weekday night seemingly just before (or after) a Mighty Ducks game. Do they still call themselves the Mighty Ducks? Anyway...another industrial park, but at least this one had plenty of parking spaces inside. There was a line of folks in hockey jerseys out the front door, yet service was very fast and extremely friendly. I got my flight within 10 minutes of getting there despite the line. I was impressed. It was hard to get a good look around since there was so many people, but there seemed to be a good amount of space in the two rooms with a mixture of small and larger tables. A few seats at the bar, but they were limited. Everyone seemed to having a great time, including the staff. Very solid vibe. I normally don’t like crowds, but for some reason I enjoyed my time here even without socializing with anyone in particular, so that’s saying something IMO. The beers were all mostly above average with some of the hoppy beers being very tasty. The only stinker was the fruit beer they had on tap from their anniversary. These guys are legit and obviously know what they’re doing. Overall, a pretty awesome tasting room as brewery tasting rooms go. Very good beers as well. I’ll for sure go back whenever I’m in the area.“ |
| 72 /100 1211 N LAS BRISAS ST “Stopped in on a weekday around 1pm, and surprisingly, there was at least 10 other people there. It’s located in a small business park with lots of other small businesses. Right inside there’s an area where they sell homebrew stuff. Not exactly a huge selection, but they have some basic things here if you need them. The tasting room is actually a fairly good size as small brewery tasting rooms go. Plenty of table space and a few spots at the "bar" that basically consisted of a couple large wooden tables pushed together separating you from the server and row of taps on the wall. A bit hokey, but it didn’t bother me. The service was good, but the guy running the bar was dropping F-bombs all over the place because all the taps were pouring foamy. He figured it out after a few minutes and then started chatting with me about the beers. They had quite a few on tap, probably around 10 with a one or two meads as well. I did a five beer flight and didn’t feel the need to try any more since most of them were just sort of meh being a little too sweet in the finish. The Citra Smash was really good though. I almost got a growler to go, but I had a lot of other beer ticking to do, so I passed. Overall, a decent brewery without any major flaws and a good amount of beers to try, but not as good as the others in the immediate area.“ |
| 72 /100 1072 N ARMANDO ST “Nice spot with a funky, cool and clean interior. Service was bar only and OK. Large selection of beers which were all OK, but not much stood out.“ |
