Packinghouse Brewing Company

I went for an IE Vegan Event that was held at the Brewery. I did not have any beer at this event. This review is strictly regarding the event.The event included multiple vendor popups from food to beauty to health products. Vendors set up in the alley behind the brewery, there was plenty of parking in the front of the business off of Central Ave.There were many picnic style tables and metal tables set up, but as the event started filling up, the tables went pretty quickly. I would suggest getting to this event early.We tried many different foods; Mexican tacos and taquitos and aguas frescas. The Jamaica-Strawbery was delicious! Also had vegan fried sushi topped with fried shrimp and fried tofu. Delicious vegan ribs with Mac n cheese. The ribs were made with jackfruit and mushrooms and covered with delicious barbecue sauce. Then we had fried oyster "chicken" and fried king oyster "fish." The fish looked almost identical to real fish, it was mind blowing. Everything I tried was out-of-this-world delicious. The brewery was taking orders and many people were taking advantage of their offerings of beer and cider.Please visit this event on Sundays, you won't be disappointed. The schedule can be found on the IG page: IE Vegan Sundays.

This place is alright, however there are better options throughout the IE IMO. Always worth a try, it may be your thing.

Went to see my boyfriend preform in the band Gaba Groove last night at packinghouse Brewing company. We made it right as his band was getting set up on stage. This was their first show that was long so he was able to sing more! I don't normally drink when he performs but one his friends and one of my friends showed up so we had some beer. They gave me my first drink free since I was with the band. That was so nice of them to do so I told them I'd buy the second beer if they'd let Gaba Groove play there again. I knew his songs were in the second set so we were all ready to hear him sing. We even made him turn up the mic to insure we'd hear him. This was really the first time he really sang and my jaw was on the ground because he was SO GOOOD!! That was their best show out of the four I've seen. He was so comfortable on stage which was so hot to see. I'm super proud of him and I can't wait to see what next in store for them!

First time here and absolutely loved it! Drinks: We went in on a Friday around 4 pm and ordered a seltzer champagne-flavored slushie ($5 during happy hour) and michelada ($6 during happy hour). The lady at the front was so helpful and let us sample the beers and drinks before we decided what we wanted. We loved them so much that we got 2 more micheladas before we left! We also used the yelp check-in offer without difficulty.Entertainment: There is a stage where live music happens on certain nights. There are several games including giant Jenga, dominos, card games, connect 4, etc that we enjoyed. They also have corn hole set up.Seating and parking: Plenty of parking in the lot. Indoor and outdoor seating available. It was busy when we went and still every group had their own table socially distanced.There is no public wifi here. 2 restrooms are available.

All right so.. let's start with the good. This place has a good little vibe. The day I went there they had a vendor bbqing and a dj playing songs, they have cornhole and games, it's a great place to go to. But, if was gonna compare to other breweries in the area of similar size, this place can level up. The garage area seemed a little cluttered. As far as the beer, and remember TASTE IS SUBJECTIVE, I got a flight of beer, 6 pours and got the usual suspects of things I can usually Rock with.. but I was only able to find one beer that I liked, the black beauty.. it's actually great. ..

Excellent beers, great ambiance & and customer service! My husband and I had a flight of 6 beers, all we delicious (Marzen, Black Kölsch, West Coast IPA, Hazy, Kona Blonde, and the Irish Red) . It's very rare that we enjoy everything on our flight. We were impressed by the customer service and felt very welcome here! Thank you, Packinghouse Brewing, for the hospitality. I'm definitely coming back!

Had a fun evening here. Great music, fast friendly service. All and all a nice place to spend some time.

This was our favorite spot in riverside for a long time. Most of the owners are friendly and super nice! They always welcome your kids and dogs if our have any. Unfortunately, they have a "Very EXPENSIVE" cornhole game board in the back of the store. One of the "Owner" with bandanna on his head today was "warning" us that our 20 months boy was playing with his toy car on the board and those boards are VERY VERY expensive in the rude tone. We did say we were sorry and we will make sure our baby doesn't go back to "damage" the expensive cornhole board. But he still gave the mean look and keep staring at us after that, we had very bad feeling that he still talking about it. So if you have kids and cannot "control" your kids 24/7. Then this is not the place you want to go. Better find somewhere else that is kids friendly.

Excellent service and friendly environment! Definitely recommend this place for any locals.

This place always delivers and is my go to neighborhood brewery. Belltower Blonde is AMAZING
