Topa Topa Brewing Company

Super chill spot a bit out of the center of town. There's a couple of food trucks parked in the lot. There's a decent selection of stuff here and the staff were very friendly. There was an open mike the night I was in. The beer were well made and covered a pretty broad range of styles. Worth a stop.

Don’t let the 101-adjacent location fool you, this place is all-chill. The beer is terrific, the bartenders are helpful and knowledgeable and the beer is the best in Ventura. Big fan.

Visited on a Thursday evening. It sits along a busy street in a semi-sketchy edge of downtown Ventura. It’s not a big space, either, even with the walled-in outside area. We stumbled onto some kind of amateur art exhibition, which was something out of a reality TV show. Again, like most new neighborhood brewers, you gotta line up at a counter and order. Decent lineup, decent beers, friendly people all around. Brewery #757.

Stopped in just about as they opened on a Friday afternoon on my way to Southern California. It was POURING rain that day, so nobody taking advantage of the small patio area that is out front in the scenic parking lot. The tasting room is very modern in terms of the decor, which I quite liked, maybe a little bit of a surfer vibe too. Nice sized bar to sit at.

They have a solid set of beers here, which is what really impressed me, since I usually expect every new brewery I go to will be meh (only half serious). Some good hoppy beers, a nice stout, barrel aged stout sample from the brewer was pretty nice as well. Doing good things with a variety of styles.

Cool people hanging at the bar, friendly bartender and staff. Definitely recommend coming here. It’s also a short walk from the downtown Ventura spots like Anacapa or Barrel House 101.
