“It's our 2nd time here. Everything we've had is really good. Just so you know, this place serves alcohol - LOL.we've had the pandan drink, and the Lolo's Ale (has a hint of calamansi, a Filipino small citrusy type fruit. When we chatted with the owner, he mentioned that the calamansi is from the tree of his wife's relative (her Dad I think?) and he asked for the drink to be named after him since they were going to use the fruit from his tree.What a great background story as to the reason for the Lolo's Ale. It wasn't too strong. It had a nice taste not too strong or bitter with a tiny hint of the citrus calamansi.Come in and try everything!“
“Good laid back vibes here. We tried quite a few of the beers on tap. I would recommend the KOKUA fundraiser if you want an IPA. It's slightly different everywhere, but the one at this brewery smells really good and flavor is better than the other IPAs on tap currently. I also had the sour Good God, it's the only sour in the menu but it's a good one, I enjoyed two while watching the Chiefs and Bills. If you hate peach I'd still recommend this one because it didn't have a heavy peachness to it. Ask the bartender for a sample, trust me. I'm a bit of a light weight, but when I'm brewery hopping I'm always happy to find sours and Belgium whits on the menu. The Good God is 4.3%, lowest one they currently offer on tap, perfect for me. The menu is small but I can tell the owner (who is pretty friendly and usually around) knows how to build a good array of what's on tap. There's plenty of seating, I'd say this place is great for watching a game, well-priced and honestly the vibes are very down to earth. There's no front here, I love the mural on the wall, it's got a rocker vibe. Catching a game here is great because the TVs a placed well, anywhere you sit it's comfortable viewing. The projector is a nice touch. I hear there's free pizza today, I'll prob be inquiring about that once I finish my second round.The Last Beer: I shared a New Black IPA with the table, we all sipped it and enjoyed it. This is a collab with Burning Bridge and local brewer Ryan Rivas. For a dark beer I really enjoyed this, and to be fair, I always try dark beers but rarely like them. My cousin, a brewer and lover of dark beers, had nothing but good things to say about it. The expectation for these is that they are brewed to avoid the ash taste while achieving smoked flavor. Not an easy task, the recipe is a little more involved, they nailed it with this one.“
“Best beers in Monrovia! Looks small when you first walk in, but it has a huge outdoor space in the back! Seems like they frequently host bands, food vendors, and pop ups. Definitely try their Mexican Lager and Icelandic White Ale! Great vibes, bartenders are very nice and knowledgeable too!“
“I was in the area after having tried Hop Secret beforehand, and thought i'd give this one a try as well since it was nearby. There weren't many people for a Thursday night, which I didn't mind. The beertender was nice and had a very friendly personality. She told us the story of how the brewery's name came to be, being as the owner studied geology. She made sure we were comfortable by checking on us often, asking if we'd like water, and even changed the channel to the Thursday Night Football game upon request. I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.“
“Perfection. This tiny Monrovia brewery produces the world's premier beers. The sour crumble seasonals are world-class incredible. Their Starhazer IPA is immaculate. Help yourself to free, fresh popcorn. This place has it all! Go. See. Taste....N' don't forget to tip your tap professional.“
“I have been meaning to come to Nova for some time. They are the only Sake brewing company I am aware of in SoCal. We had to call to them to get the front gate opened.I ordered the sake flight which had 6 glasses. It was plenty to drink for a tasting. I particularly liked the cherry flavored one, peach flavored one & the unfiltered one. All of the sake is cold and they were all smooth. I bought two bottles to take home. Unfortunately they were out of the cherry. Next time, I will try the beer flight and get a bottle of the cherry Sake. They allow you to bring outside food so we got takeout dinner and enjoyed it with our sake and beer.“
“Our school hosted a parent event and fundraiser at Alosta brewing. Lindsay and the team were quick at responding, they were attentive, flexible, and catered to our theme. Everyone had a really good time. If you are looking to host an event or a party make sure to reach out to Lindsay.“
“We only had time for one beer which was too bad since there were 5-6 I wanted to try! We had an IPA and an apricot beer and both were good.The outdoor space is great and we liked sitting out there on a Saturday afternoon. There was a kids birthday party or two though so lots of 3-4 year olds running around (screaming). Might be what some people are looking for but for others it's a lot.“
“I give it four stars because they have a great selection of wine Etc and their owner seems knowledgeable and helpful. I'm always looking for exceptional prices on allocated whiskeys and while these guys have some in stock they're not in the market to fight for the lowest price. It's a competitive market right now and they know they'll sell what they have on the shelves so if you're looking for the best price in town it's not here. That said it seems like a great place to swing by and grab what you need.“

“The service here is great, started coming here a couple weeks ago and it's one of my favorite spots to kick back and have a few beers. The menu selection here is large and tasty, pairs well with the food from dog haus that's right next to it.“
“The staff here is 10/10The beers are 10/10 & the shuffle board is an added bonus point as entertainment Try the raspberry seltzer it's deliciousAlso their cherry sour is gr8 as a sour drinker I had their pizza vendor before and it was yummy in the tummy Bathrooms also clean, double pointsGo Kier & Bald Marine Man“
“We've been wanting to check this place out for a while now, so we were excited to finally be able to visit for the first time last night. There were several beer options, but when we asked the lady at the bar which she recommended she seemed pretty annoyed. Her attitude pretty much killed the vibe for us. However, there was a man there (maybe the owner?) who was very nice and walking around making sure all the customers were happy and well served. We might come back because the beer was pretty delicious and the pizza place next door is bomb. Hopefully the lady isn't working there if we do.“
“We never ate here at least from the food trucks that they have because there are many good food places around. But it's a great place to have a drink and watch some good comedy sets! The beer selection could use some work but still very good amount of options. Just think about it as a place to hang out with friends and have a couple brewskies!“
“The wait time was 5 minutes with a full house. Got sat before 5 minutes. The sever Bryan was super friendly, attentive, and got us anything we needed. The food was delicious, more than fairly priced, and was flavorful. I will be coming back when I visit California again!“
“Lots of choices that are high quality! They offer gluten free crusts and fully customizable pizzas! They offer good beers and tasty fries! The atmosphere is really modern and rustic which adds a cool vibe! However the prices are expensive, 12 dollars for 7 boneless wings and 17 dollars for a pizza with gluten free crust! If the prices were lower I would come more often but it’s still a nice treat!“
“Excellent beer selection, food looked good. Literally could not hear anything the server said because of the music. I went outside where the volume was loud but tolerable. No menu, link led to download that didn't work or took so long I gave up.I may try again. But not if the club atmosphere continues.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian and vegan optionsWheelchair accessibility: Easy access, though inside might be tight on a crowded night“
