Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
THE BEST beer in the area, from our experience. Great IPA, great sour & even the chocolate stout. Pinball machines make it a great experience. We all got crowlers to take home!
Phenomenal, locally owned craft brewery in Santa Ana! The handcrafted beers are extraordinary, and all guests are welcomed by the brewmaster/owner's pop! Their Agua del Rio lager is on tap year-round, everything else rotates. They pair up with wonderful local catering trucks so you won't go hungry! Kaya's Kitchen served up a mean cheese steak and pastrami!
Awesome REAL OC brewery. Order beer up front and take it to sit in the back. The day I went they were making FREE tacos which I am grateful for! I rated my hazy IPA a 4.0/5.0 on Untappd. Some reviews complain that you’re sitting in an operational brewery but for me this means authenticity. Go here!
Follow me to a local brewery which I really enjoy recently!! Highlights of the menu: 1. Saigon stout 8.5% 2. Ripped at the river 8.1% 3. Brixley tart with ale with passion fruit and spice 4. Aqua del rio lager 5% Super industrialized and local, I enjoy hanging at the brewery a lot with their beers and IPAs. A lot of guys and couples are hanging here too! Such a cool hidden spot with beer lab equipments that I didn’t know before. Besides the draft beers, they have canned beers to store in the fridge for later as well Being a Saigonese, I’m impressed with their Saigon Stout!! Cheers to anyday!!
Cool little spot hidden in the back. They have plenty of outdoor space out back. A variety of beers to choose from. They have TVs and Pinball machines. They also do collaborations with food trucks and caterers as well.
