http://www.beachwoodbbq.com In the age-old debate over dry-vs.-wet rub when barbecuing, Beachwood BBQ and Brewery in Long Beach fiercely makes a strong case for dry – although defiant diners will nonetheless find a variety of sauces on their tables. The younger sister of the original Seal Beach location is hog heaven if you like pigging out on long-marinated and slow-smoked North Carolina-style pulled pork and baby back ribs that go perfect with the brewery’s 36 craft beers, including a few house-made ones. If you don’t swing the way of swine, try the brisket, lamb and beef ribs or smoked chicken. Though the ‘que here is the main attraction, don’t gloss over the appetizers and sides, which feature typical Southern fare, from fried green tomatoes to macaroni and cheese, as well as more modernized comfort food like the tater tot casserole with duck gravy, vanilla-scented pecan yams and lamb corn dogs. There’s even a late-night happy hour menu for stragglers that includes a pulled pork sandwich for a mere five bucks. More >>
http://www.bjsbrewhouse.com BJ's is famous for crafting delicious brews in-house. The Brea location inhabits a space once known as the Gas Lamp Grill. The, multi-tiered room features sweeping brick archways, old-timey ceiling fans and a rich, dark-wood bar housing a large range of top-shelf whiskeys, vodkas and Scotches. The main event, though, is the beer, which ferments in large steel cisterns behind massive glass windows on the building's west side. There's the Jeremiah Red, Harvest Ale and the ever-popular Piranha Pale Ale. BJ's now serves selections from Placentia's craft factory The Bruery. It's a sweet spot to grab a pint, catch a football game on one of the flat-screens, and relax after fighting the hustle and bustle of the Brea Mall. More >>
http://www.bjsrestaurants.com If you've been to BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse, then you already know the deep-dish is delish, the Pizookie is not to be passed over, and the brewed-in-house beer selection will satisfy any aficionado. The Long Beach location is in the heart of Belmont Shore, and it's one of the original BJs to open along the SoCal coastline. It is a quarter the size of the newer BJ's Restaurants and still carries the earlier "Chicago Style" logo, yet the red-brick walls and TVs perpetually tuned to ballgames give the place the familiar BJs feel of a firehouse turned sports bar. Though it doesn't feature a full bar, there are plenty of craft beers available, all brewed at the Brea location (Pumpkin Ale, anyone?). And don't forget to try one of the most delicious pale ales on the planet, Pirahna. More >>
http://www.bootleggersbrewery.com The tasting room at this brewery in an unlovely part of Fullerton features 12 to 15 house-made beers at rock-bottom prices. The left side of the beer menu remains more or less constant, including an excellent rye IPA and a very good chipotle-coffee stout; the right side of the menu houses the experimental batches, such as wine-barrel-aged lambics and sour beers. Drink the beer from Mason jars ($2.50-$3.50 per half-pint; $4-$6 per pint). This is also one of the best places to get in on the upscale-food-truck fad; a truck parks at the brewery each day it's open. More >>
http://www.thebruery.com According to the massive sign on the wall of the Bruery's tasting room, the Placentia brewery's dedicated space has been open for just more than a year now. Sporting a fancy electronic menu and crisp wooden surfaces, the Bruery tastes like paradise to all of the hops-loving beer connoisseurs. Whether you're at the bar sipping the fragrant Trade Winds triple, along the walls with the pitch-black Tart of Darkness sour stout or setting down a glass of the hop-tastic Loakal Red at beer barrels turned into beer tables, anybody who wants to have a great time tasting suds will be right at home here. Relatively inexpensive beer flights can coax beer-based conversation out of even the most unrefined tastes, but don't come here to get drunk. (Leave that for the Goat Hill Tavern, kids.) If you do end up off-balance, food trucks occupying the parking lot Thursdays through Sundays will get you back on kilter. More >>
http://www.crowburgerkitchen.com Though the Crow Burger Kitchen is known for its innovative food, one would be remiss were they to overlook the incredible beer offering. Associated with the Crow Bar in Corona del Mar, this Balboa Peninsula location sports a minimalist, streamlined look. The open-air patio draws ocean breezes into a handsome wood-paneled room where two large grey pipes behind the bar conceal 32 tap lines— functional and aesthetically pleasing. The spigots dispense a long list of craft labels including Firestone IPA, Allagash White, and Lost Coast Alley Cat. The waitresses and bar tenders here are incredibly knowledgeable about the products they sell, so be sure to pick their brains for the perfect pint. More >>
http://www.hbbeerco.com Like any brewpub, the things to get are simple American fare (try the Ortega burger or the fish and chips) and the house beer, especially the HB Blonde, which is very refreshing after a day out in the surf. More >>
http://www.jtschmidsrestaurants.com From a light and flowery India Pale Ale to a deep, rich and bitter stout, JT Schmid's is a local brewer that pours its own hand-crafted beers just like others in its genre. Their house Hef is lemony and sips as refreshingly as a summer breeze. Happy Hours are the time to come and enjoy a pint in the company of friends, co-workers, or that pre-first date meet-up you'd rather not do at Starbucks. If you didn't know the place was brewery/restaurant, you'd half expect them to serve expensive steaks--the dining room is stylishly dark. The fried foods are excessively portioned, designed to keep you munching and thirsty enough to ask for more beer. Only this Tustin store offers the Happy Hour deals--something the older Anaheim store doesn't. More >>
http://www.karlstrauss.com You can excuse most patrons of this Costa Mesa restaurant if all they concentrate on is getting hammered heavenly. After all, the Karl Strauss brewing process is so refined it could probably make a fine lager out of Santa Ana River water. But to obsess over their brews does disservice to their smoky steaks, surprisingly tasteful salads and magnificent hoagies. More >>
