I am totally biased here because this brewery is owned by my work colleague Tori's hubby. That said, it is an awesome place which will get even more awesome post-COVID.

What's the USP of this brewery? Well, it's all about local, live music and small batch beer.
Definitely a Southern California, beach vibe!
Brewery owner Brent Reger's band used to play at The Standing Room restaurant and he and Lowell Bakke, the owner of the restaurant came up with the idea of opening a brewery. This is where it all started and the rest is history.
The ambience of this place is solid. They have an outdoor seating area at this point so explore that or just pick up their beer. They deliver too!
