The Most Delicious Breweries in Anaheim

Webb's Grainworks

★★★★★ 4.5 (406) • $$

"Home is where the heart is....and Webb has my heart.Interesting and tasty food...check!Numerous house made liquors and liquers...check!Unforgettable ambience...check!Impeccably smooth and exquisite service...check!I dont want to leave...Webb's Grainworks in Aliso Viejo is tucked away in a commerical area near medical buildings.You definitely recognize it right away when you see the train car built into the side of the building!Everyone here made my experience fantastic...and made me feel at home...so much so, that I cant wait to go back. Servers and management made sure I was well taken care of...and the combination of product knowledge, professionalism, and care, made me consider whether I want this to be my home away from home.I didnt get to try all the food I wanted, but this is what I had to eatCrispy Rice Pork Belly Musubi-deep intense flavor-kinda tastes like homeSmothered Latkis-so amazing, reminded me tot-chos (tater tot nachos)-brisket made this dish so goodShrimp hush puppies-so good with that honey butter-was supposed to be a little spicy, but not too badGoat cheese wontons-never would have thought to put goat cheese in wontons but it's a win!-nice tart and tang to the wontonsBourbon puffle sundae-omg...so delicious -love how the ice cream is full of bourbon!Crack smores-guilty decadence -a sweet layered combination of heavenI was able to try their alcohol as well, and the best was the butterball whiskey.Now, I am a whiskey enthusiast, and mainly drink whiskeys neat, but this bottle of fun made me think of Thanksgiving morning waffles.Imagine that first bite with warm syrup and butter....and thats what this whiskey tastes like.Its addictive on its own, but would mix well with other higher proof whiskeys as wellThe possibilities for this sweet libation are endless....think milkshakes...I will be back soon to try more food and cocktails!"

Flashpoint Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.8 (113)

"We love Flashpoint Brewing, the entire staff is so friendly and always welcoming. They walk around the patio and check in on you, they have plenty of seats with heaters available so you can enjoy their beers year around!!"

Santa Ana River Brewing

★★★★★ 4.6 (53)

"Excellent micro brewery. You can sample the beers before deciding what you want. All the beers I sampled were excellent. Prices reasonable. The pinball is amazing!! All the games are 50 cents! And they have all my favorites - Godzilla, Jaws, Monster Bash! Also Fish Tales, Star Wars and creature from the black lagoon. Dogs are welcome."

Karl Strauss Brewing Company

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"This Karl Strauss location is right off the 57 freeway and is easy to access. There's plenty of parking. We came here during the week for lunch, were greeted by Val and got seated right away.The restaurant is open, plenty of lighting, there's both booths and tables and plenty of seating. It's casual, inviting and comfortable.We had the pleasure of being served by Bobby - great vibes, super accommodating, and easy to talk to.We ordered the asada fries, the cotija avocado turkey burger and the food truck burger as well as an Imperial Red trolley. The cotija turkey burger was nice and juicy, loved the jalapeno beer cheese on the asada fries, and there was so much flavor in the food truck burger. I would definitely recommend!"

Brewery X

★★★★☆ 4.1 • $$

"Bomb ass pizza! Great drink selection. I always get the seltzers they taste great. Strong and tasty is a good combo for a drink. I recommend the huckleberry, sweet enough but definitely tart and the seltzer has enough carbonation. Try the buffalo chicken pizza it is the best but if you like pepperoni get it and ask for the hot honey and crushed red peppers. Pro tip ask for it well done so the under carriage is crunchy."

Belmont Brewing

★★★★☆ 3.9 • $$

"Friends and I stumbled upon Belmont Brewing by surprise while walking on the pier. Open seating indoors, but there is a wait for outdoor seating where you have a view of the ocean. We opted to sit inside and service was pretty quick. I don't drink alcohol but friends really like the Strawberry one that they were promoting at the time. They also have a great bar area if you really want that brewery feel. As for the menu, I personally feel the prices were too expensive. We shared two appetizers and my friends ordered a drink each. The bill cost well over $50, so just expect it to not be budget friendly. Still, the food was good, but there was no value in it."

Beachwood Brewing - SteelCraft Garden Grove

★★★★☆ 3.7 (48)

"Inside Steelcraft with a lot of other food vendors, Beachwood is the only spot with alcoholic drinks. Since we already ate, we came to grab a drink. The bartender was nice and there's a solid selection to choose from.I really love this space with so much patio seating all around. There are huge jenga blocks to play and the string lights give such a vibe. For a Friday night, they weren't too busy either. It's the perfect place for large groups or date nights and there's a little bit of everything for everyone."

Lone Wolf Brewing

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (436) • $$

"Large and spacious brewery with good sports viewing nearly everywhere you sit. The beer selection was only so-so but the wine was surprisingly decent and we loved the food! Good burgers, pizza, and plenty of kids menu options. The fried pickles were the unexpected favorite. A great balance of tart pickle and tasty crunchy fried batter which was actually flavorful instead of just an over fried bland batter. Service was friendly and seems great for families."

Station Craft Taproom Pizza

★★★★☆ 3.9 (10)

"Recently opened. Great decor. Young vibe. Friendly atmosphere. Excellent choice of beer. We got the Wild Mushroom Pizza. It was amazing!"

Juniper & Morgan Brewing

★★★★★ 4.6 (122) • $

"After paying $55! for two beer flights at Breury down the street we went to Juniper and Morgan. We met an owner, Kathy. She apologized for not having the full selection (the parent company in San Diego controls the beer distribution) but she had 10 different beers for our experimental flights. I like the Golden Ticket, a Porter that's almost a Stout with no special flavors like chocolate or oatmeal. Could drink it all day. Then Kathy comes out a gives my newly 21 son a growler of Rice Lager called Mahjong on the house to celebrate his birthday. What a great place!"

Riip Beer Company

★★★★★ 4.6 (383) • $$

"The service here alone is what put this place on my 5-star list. Erick was such a cool guy, all the recommendations he made all hit the spot. It was super busy but he was still attentive and made sure that we were taken care of. I appreciate service like that. I ordered the Burrata & hot honey slice, the mozzarella sticks, the chicken wings and the Dan P beer, all excellent. This place is good for groups too, noticed a lot of families all having a good time. Sports on all the tvs. Definitely coming back to this place."

Gunwhale - Costa Mesa

★★★★☆ 4.2 (265) • $

"Happy hour on Wednesdays 3-6pm - $2 off beers!Dedicated parking spaces & plenty of seating inside & out. It's dog friendly as well!"

TAPS Fish House & Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.3 (46)

"Delayed flights are never fun - I was stuck in my terminal for a couple of hours and decided to have lunch. Thanks to Yelp, I searched for a sit-down restaurant and discovered TAPS as the highest-rated option in my area. The seating consisted of mostly high-top, bar-style tables and chairs, with some near the front offering outlets for charging. My server quickly asked for my order, but I needed a few minutes to scan the menu. I had the following: * Beet salad - gigantic portion, made-up of mostly lettuce but the beets and goat cheese were delicious. * Grilled salmon bowl - this was surprisingly prepared well. I was a little nervous about eating "airport" salmon, but I actually enjoyed it.They have a to-go section on the side if you're in a hurry, but overall, I'd only recommend this restaurant if you have time to kill."

Tustin Brewing

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (733) • $$

"Excellent food and beer. Only gave 3 stars because the music is so loud we have to shout at the table. I asked to have it turned down a little but no go. It's like this every time. I go out with friends every Friday night and we rotate. Love the food and beer but hate it when we go here."

Bottle Logic Brewing

★★★★★ 4.5 (985) • $$

"Nice ambience, excellent beer. Very nice place to hangout with friends.They have wide range collection and they keep updating often with new options"

Broken Timbers Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.5 (47)

"An unexpected pleasure and great tasting brew. I found the establishment by accident and had a nice experience. Chey was a pleasure to share life's sojourn, straight out of the Wild West. She talked about the other brews available and their characteristics. I settled on the blond brew and wasn't disappointed. It was tasty and crisp. I highly recommend the brewery as you won't be disappointed with both the beer and ambience. Kudos!"

Helmsman Ale House

★★★★☆ 4.4 (626) • $$

"We loved this place! My family & I came on a Monday (in July) around 3:45. We found parking very easily and got sat right away. The servers were super nice and checked on us multiple times throughout our time there. My family got a few drinks and we all got some food. I got the spicy chicken sandwich (5/5 stars) with sweet potato fries (4/5 stars) and my boyfriend got the wings (5/5 stars) with garlic fries (5/5 stars). We also got fried pickles (4/5 stars). The place itself is very relaxing during the day; it's a perfect spot to go after a beach day. They also have outdoor seating which I want to try next time. Thankfully the outdoor seating is shaded which makes for a perfect lunch. They also have darts to play which hopefully I can learn how to play!"

Raymond Ave brewing company

★★★★★ 4.9 (18)

"Great intimate place to enjoy a good craft beer. Good friendly service. Dog friendly. I walk my dog there and have a beer or two :)"

Bootlegger's Brewery - Costa Mesa

★★★★☆ 4.2 (175) • $$

"Great selection! This place always hits the spot love that they have a patio area too. And the staff is so welcoming with wanting to suggest whatever you're craving!! Emily, especially! Super friendly! We're gonna bit the Fullerton location next. And soon."

everywhere

★★★★☆ 4.4 (145) • $$

"I love this brewery! Been twice. First with my friend who is a member and gets two flights every month. And back again with my other friends tonight. Their IPAs, rice lager, and seltzers are delicious. My favorites are the first two. "Must be a feeling" is a great IPA. The staff is wonderful. Love chatting with Allison. She loves the product and is so funny/friendly. Got a four pack today too to share with others. Looking forward to my next visit!"

Beachwood Brewing 2nd & PCH

★★★★☆ 4.4 (14)

"So cute and right inside the mall area. Pretty tiny but there's a bunch of tables and a small bar area. Passed by and got a drink because it was such a nice night out. Got a día de Los mangos sour ale. Super good if you like sours and not too sweet at all."

Monkish Brewing - Anaheim

★★★★☆ 4.4 (111) • $$

"Stumbled upon this brewery while walking around the packing house. Clean & sleek inside with a small amount of seating; there was more outside. It's perfect to sit outside in the breeze while enjoying a beer or inside in the AC.Staff inside were very nice & friendly. They provided recommendations on which beer to choose from & answered any questions I had. 10/10 - Nectar Necro: super refreshing pale ale; it wasn't too heavy & had a citrusy undertone.8/10 - Doing Good: light lager that was also very refreshing; it did have a bit of a bite & bitterness which I didn't too much enjoy, but my wife did."

Salty Bear Brewing

★★★★☆ 4 (222) • $$

"We like salty bear! -- great location in Costa Mesa. It's next to other breweries and restaurants that are walking distance. Chill environment. Parking can get tough but you're bound to find a spot. Two big screen TVs, typically a food truck outside and you can order food from surrounding restaurants that will deliver to salty bear. There's outdoor and indoor seating. Multiple beers on tap and right now, two seltzers. Sometimes we'll bring cards or a game to play while we grab a drink. Service has always been good."

Brewing Reserve of California

★★★★★ 4.8 (112) • $$

"Another wonderful brewery in my city of Costa Mesa. It's so laid back with a neighborhood feel. Furry friends are welcomed. Good selection of beer and service is friendly and welcoming. They also have food trucks in front of the brewery. I'm telling my friends to come and drink with me here at the Brewing Reserve of California"

Four Sons Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.4 (460) • $$

"We had a venue canceled on us a few days before the birthday surprise event but Duke, the owner, was able to accommodate us a private section of the brewery. The process was so quick and easy within a few hours of emailing back and forth. We reserved the Barrel room for around 60 people. Before the event, Duke introduced himself and gave us the room run down. We had a closed off section with two private televisions, a private speaker (bluetooth) and a private bartender. There was enough room for everyone to roam or sit. We also had access outside so the breeze kept everyone cool and a quick walk to the car. Our private bartender OH MY GOSH was amazing and super friendly. My guests were very happy with our bartender and he made sure everyone was having a good time. He was quick and swift with going around checking up on our guests. We definitely will book this spot again for mother birthday in the future!!"

Radiant Beer Co.

★★★★★ 4.5 (159) • $$

"We love breweries and this is one of our faves! Loved them when they used to be Towne Park and love them more as Radiant! Same location and great vibes! Parking can be tricky at times but they have extra parking designated in their neighbors lot. It's worth it! They also have outdoor and indoor seating so plenty of options.My hubby enjoys IPAs and I love my stouts! He had Just Between Us and The Best of You IPAs while I had their new Cinnamon Spiral Decadent Stout. Great beers as always! They have a nice rotation of new beers so you have to come back often! Stay on top of their insta for new releases and events to check out!!Also love Radiant Kitchen. Go to with beers is always their huge pretzel that is served with ground mustard to dip. More than enough for 2! Not bad for $9.Took home a 4-pack of their WeLA IPA. A portion goes toward the United Way's Wildfire Response Fund. Great merch too! Love it! We'll be back!"

Noble Ale Works

★★★★☆ 4.4 (636) • $$

"Beer fit for a king. Our crew stopped by Noble Ale Works prior to hitting up the Angel's game on a Thursday. Unfortunately the Angel's lost badly (0-11, ouch!) but the drinks from Noble Ale Works made the trip worth it. Their brew team is incredible. They offered us a number of tastings from the tap to make sure we were happy with our picks. One of their memorable beers was the funfetti, very dessert-esque. We also tried the Flamingle, a pink strawberry lemonade seltzer. My besties ended up taking home a six pack of this seltzer for a future beach day. You can tell that Noble was made by the coolest nerds around. Several of the beers are themed around Harry Potty, Rick & Morty, etc. The artwork is dope and I'd buy a six-pack for this alone. They typically have additional vendors onsite during peak hours. During our visit there was a jewelry seller and mediterranean food truck. Pro tip: Noble Ale Works offers complimentary parking for games at the Angel's Stadium. It's an easy 10 minute walk and worth saving a few dollars. Great spot to pre or post game! Plus it's not as packed as Golden Road/Karl Strauss."

Ambitious Ales

★★★★★ 4.7 (209) • $$

"PSA: 2024 Great American Beer Festival Gold Medal Winner:Professional Human Being (Best Juicy/Hazy IPA)This was the reason for my visit. I wanted to get a taste of this year's "best hazy IPA" in the USA.Along with their gold-medal winning hazy, I wanted try one of the Filipino-inspired brews. I went with their Ube Bay brewed with ube halaya because it was about to be tapped out.Both beers were delicious and easy drinkers. I could have ordered more of them. If it was not too late in the evening, I would have ordered more to try. The Ube Bay wasn't too sweet. My friend mentioned that their slushie version was way too sweet. Upon sniffing you cannot ignore the strong aroma of coconut in this beer. The Professional Human Being hazy IPA is easier to drink than a West Coast IPA. If you're a fan of hazys, a visit to Ambitious Ales is a must.Across the parking lot, you will find a permanent fixture for food delivery at your table from Thunderbird Pizza. I wanted to try the simplest pizza so I went with a cheese pizza. This is how I judge pizza -- either the plain cheese or a margherita pizza. They didn't have any pizzas by the slice available to order. Pizza is the best pairing with beer so having a pizza restaurant across the parking lot is perfect. To order, you scan from a QR code at your table so they know where you are seated. Order immediately as it took a while to get our pizza. If you love sourdough pizza, I recommend ordering this pizza immediately once you find a table.There are some food pop ups (barbecue) as an alternative option on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.The beertenders are very helpful and friendly which I find as the norm while visiting California breweries except the one brewery I visited in NYC which was like pulling teeth to get service and a smile out of them. I love California.Being that that the restrooms are gender neutral and the brewery seemes to be busy, they were not the cleanest restrooms compared to other breweries I have visited. Mens restrooms/shared restrooms seem to be the most filthy/unkempt (to be honest). There is a port-a-potty available in the patio if there is a line going.Their shared parking lot is small so there might be issues finding parking during the weekend.There were other GABF medal winners in the LBC, so I would suggest doing a Long Beach beer crawl if you're up for it."

Unsung Brewing Company

★★★★★ 4.6 (362) • $$

"Me doing Yoga at 30. Who would have thought?But it is happening. I work in a quite "busy" finance department. CFO sudden departure, unfit hires to sudden government audit are some of the events we have to deal with. So, i start to prefer relaxing, recovering chill event for my down time. and 1 of my coworker started mentioning Yoga.Its February and Unsung brewing hosted a drink and yoga event. I am down. meditating , breathing exercise, stretching and drinking all in 1 go. I was impressed with the brewery. The staffs were cooperative. The beer was great. and i started my sunday with some relaxation."

Centro

★★★★☆ 4.2 (679) • $$

"I loved this place!Super cozy, really friendly staff but not overbearing, and tbe food is simple and good. Such a great treat!We sat outside and it just felt like siting in your backyard. Absolutely delightful. I love small places-this restaurant is one of those place. I will be back!"

Huntington Beach Beer Co.

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (766) • $$

"We decided after walking around to eat here and shared a pizza.We did the half half for $19 and picked the bbq and Thai chicken, it actually wasn't bad ! The pizza is thin crust but has so much on each slice, the pizza was delicious.It's a nice spot to hangout and sit near the window to people/ car watch since everyone has such interesting cars in Huntington Beach."

BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse

★★★☆☆ 2.9 • $$

"Pazookie's are always amazing but even more so when they are served by Cesar A.! He was amazingly friendly & super quick to asssit.Pretty busy atmosphere on a Saturday night but that didn't affect the quality of service or dessert!PRO TIP: order the strawberry shortcake pazookie but switch out the sugar cookies for the chocolate chip! Amazing! Thank you BJ's for the pazookie & Cesar A. for the pleasant experience! Cheers!"

The Bruery

★★★★☆ 4.3 • $$

"Good day to you, fine readers! I, Obadiah Thornwillow, born in 1784 and most curiously transported to your modern world, have had the rare pleasure of visiting one of your breweries. Though I feared I might encounter the soulless haste of many modern establishments, I was instead welcomed into an oasis of warmth and camaraderie, so reminiscent of my own time that I nearly wept into my tankard.The ale, oh, the ale! Strong and dark as the depths of a moonless forest, it bore a fire within that surely sprang from the cauldron of a demon. Each sip was a battle, yet a victory, leaving me emboldened and delightfully lightheaded. I daresay it rivaled even the finest brews of my own era, which were crafted with care and reverence for the art.The setting was nothing short of magical. Lights, strung like fireflies upon invisible threads, cast a golden glow across the open air. The wooden benches and tables seemed to invite both merriment and quiet reflection. The people, friendly and unhurried, sat in joyful company, seemingly untouched by the sorcery of their portable glowing devices. Their laughter rang clear, unbroken by the distractions I have so often observed in this age.For one evening, I felt at home in this foreign time--a place where the spirits are strong, the people kind, and the atmosphere alive with magic and fellowship. Five stars, for a taste of enchantment and a brief return to the warmth of an era long past!"

Bootlegger's Brewery

★★★★☆ 4.2 (924) • $$

"We come here a lot, lol. We live super close so it's always one of our go-to spots when we want good vibes, beer and food. Now that we have a baby, it's always one of our go to places that's baby friendly! Beer is good, food is good (although I do miss the chili cheese fries) and service is great. We come often enough that they know us here, which is amazing! Parking is easy and they have live music on Friday nights, which is when we usually go. :)"

La Bodega Brewing

★★★★☆ 4.3 (488) • $$

"One of the best food places in Whittier. Highly recommend. The handmade corn tortillas with any dish is out of this world."
