38 Best Craft Breweries near Hermosa Beach

“Nice quiet place to relax“

“Great local brewery that really focuses on the beer. So much better since they expanded the outside seating. Great food trucks/stands that come in, friendly staff. A bit “hop” heavy selection if that’s your brew, would like to see more lagers, ales etc but doesn’t take away from a 5 star review“

“Had a lunch outting with my team & the pizza lunch special was a hit! 2 slices of pizza with a drink, under $14. I traded my special for a salad & glass of pinot, GREAT place for a beer, glass of wine, or just a good time! I had the chopped Italian salad, delish!“

“Great brews and brushes events and delicious beers 🍻!“

“Awesome atmosphere and live music!“

“Best brewery in California by far! JUST GO!“

“Johnny and Jorge made us feel like family. Great beers. Nice vibe to complement the vibe at the HB location. Now I have another amazing l place to go when in town. Love from Littleton Colorado!“

“Good range of beers on tap“

“Had the great fortune of trying this Hazy IPA before meeting the owner Kelsey Grammer and watching him pull beer for a few hours. This beer is outstanding! it doesn't have that hoppy bite and has a refreshing citrus finish. Put simply? it's delicious. Looking forward to more amazing beers coming!!“

“Went here during an Oktoberfest celebration and was a great space. Even though it was crowded was still plenty of room and was able to find parking in their lot. Fast service and good selection of beers. Definitely want to go back when it’s a little more casual but was very excited to have the first experience be during Oktoberfest.“

“As a regular who has been hitting the Torrance taproom since year one in 2011 Ive Been a huge fan of Smog City and they are still the best spot in Torrance for a solid pour. Their tap list is completely inclusive, making it just as easy for a beginner to find a gateway beer like Smog Czech Lager or Lil Bo Pils and for a seasoned enthusiast to find a heavy-hitting IPA like Amarilla Gorilla. Also, a quick shoutout to their new Mo-Del-Ish lager—it is honestly amazing. I’m crossing my fingers they decide to make it a year-round staple instead of just a seasonal drop! Honestly if you been thinking about getting into the craft game Smog City is you!“

“Friendly service and delicious beer.“

“Love this place, this is my first time here at Cellador Ales and had an amazing experience. They make tasty amazing saison, wild ales and sours. The quality of their Ales production is high at the top ? I didn't expect that I'm gonna find a place makes this style of Ales at this level. Highly recommend and of course I'll be back soon. Thanks Santos for an amazing experience.“

“The menu offers a large selection from which to choose, however, there are, also, weekly specials that run every weekday. I should mention the Happy Hour bar menu which has six to eight tasty selections at a great price. My favorite are Bob's mini tacos. I prefer the beef tacos and I wish that they would put them on the regular menu, they are that good.

The real star of the establishment is the ale. They are all good and even better than good. Particularly the IPA, the India Pale Ale. Bob has crafted one of the best IPA's in the world. A west coast style (very hoppy) IPA that does and will bring IPA enthusiasts from all over to enjoy. Fortunately, one can enjoy the IPA, as well as any of the other outstanding ales, at home due to the availability of the growlers. Then again, the pub is an enjoyable place to have your ale. A friendly and attentive staff makes it a comfortable environment whether in or outside the restaurant area or sitting at the bar. The bar is separated from the restaurant by a decorative wall that has enough open areas and glass to enable patrons to see the other side, yet still feel separated from each other. Situated in Old Torrance, just off Torrance Blvd., it has a free parking lot next to it as well as free street parking in front. The building is an old power company building that has a semi-industrial feel inside, yet comfortable. There are outside tables and chairs if you wish to eat/drink outside.
And the food is first-rate. Come for the ale and stay for the food.“

“Tap selection can’t be beat. Staff is friendly. Great snack options in addition to other food options that might be available depending on the day and time. The bathrooms are clean. There are games galore. We happened upon them while in the area today, but would absolutely make the 80 mile trek back that way just to visit this brewery again.“

“King Harbor has a great atmosphere to drink the BEST BEER IN TOWN! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟“

“Newish local place. Big selection of craft brews“

“Maxine was our server, and she was so attentive while giving us amazing recommendations from the menu. Everything we ordered was incredible! We started with the Asian wings and the Hamachi Crudo, and both were absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we had the skirt steak and the smash burger. And let me just say... the pickle aioli was FIRE! OMG! I can't believe I've never had pickle aioli before, especially since I'm obsessed with pickles. It was SO good! To top it all off, they had a nostalgic McDonald's chocolate dipped ice cream cone for dessert. I had to have it! The vanilla ice cream was softer than the McD's version but overall delicious. They packaged it to go for us so we could walk around the beach while eating it, which was honestly the perfect way to end our dinner. We'll definitely be back!“

“The food was delicious, vibes immaculate, and the beer wonderfully cold and tasty. But the interactions with the employees was what really made my experience over the top. The manager Todd and our server Rosa made my night and really went above and beyond for us. I appreciate you both.. it costs nothing to be kind and you both were exceptional! Thank you again 🥰“

“Such a great place with awesome beers, food and super friendly people. The owner took the time to come out and visit with us. Highly recommended. Had the brewberry blonde with some filet mignon fries. Thanks guys. Will definitely come back“

“Scholb premium ales has the best selection. They are dog friendly. corn hole, great music and TV makes this my first choice.“

“We had such a great time at Five Point Five Brewing! We came with our 3 year old and 1 year old, along with two friends, and it was the perfect place for everyone. The food was great, the atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and they even have a kids area where our 3 year old had a great time playing.

We also had the chance to meet Michelle and her family, which made the experience feel even more special. You can really tell that this is a family owned business and that they care about creating a place where everyone feels welcome.

Great food, great people, and a really fun family friendly atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“We had a few beers there and loved it. Simple hidden gem in the Gundo on a not well traveled side street off grand ave. Not big, (6 big tables up front) but great beer for $8 or so. Also, a nice back area for more private gatherings.

“Smog City’s West Torrance taproom is the kind of place you end up coming back to again and again. It hits that rare sweet spot between a relaxed neighborhood hangout and a beer list that always keeps things interesting.

The menu has real range. Whether you’re into crisp lagers, hoppy IPAs, or rich, full-bodied stouts, there’s always something worth ordering. They rotate in new stuff regularly too, so you’re never stuck drinking the same thing twice.

But the real reason this place is a standout is the crew. The staff actually cares. They know the beer, they’re excited to talk about it, and they make the whole experience feel personal without trying too hard.

It’s the perfect place to catch up with a friend, bring your dog, or just reset after a long day. Smog City West feels like the kind of taproom every neighborhood should have, but most don’t.“

“The mead is delicious! Burgers are pretty good too.“

“Came across the on a walk back from Venice Beach. Highly recommend.“

“Fun place , great staff , love the decor and of course awesome Kombucha 😋“

“Every thing is made from scratch, every few weeks, they have new specials and every thing is always so fresh and tasty, portions are ample, this is not bar food, so don’t let the name fool you. Happy Hour is excellent and service and cold beers is bonus!“

“Loved our first visit to Project Barley! The atmosphere was laid-back, friendly, and full of good vibes—the kind of place where you instantly feel at home. Huge shoutout to Zha for making us feel so welcomed and taken care of. It was our first time, but it’s definitely not our last. The beer selection? Top notch. Whether you’re into hoppy IPAs, smooth lagers, or something a little more adventurous, they’ve got something for every palate. Can’t wait to come back and try more!“
