21 Best Craft Breweries near Hermosa Beach

“Just had some beers here, but what a great place. Stopped in for some beers after doing some biking along the beach. Microbrew places can be hit or miss, and this place was fabulous. The beers were great. IPAs as well as a wheat beer with a hint of tangerine zest. The servers (TJ & Steven) were awesome. They made us feel right at home and took great care of us. Top notch service. And they offer outdoor seating along the sidewalk. Inside had a cool vibe as well. Definite place to return on future visit to LA area. Great Job guys!“

“My husband and I recently visited Hermosa and before leaving scouted out a few restaurants. When we came across Brews Hall, we new we'd have to give it a try based on the menu! When we arrived, we were greeted quickly and asked if we wanted to sit on the patio or inside. We choose the patio and were immediately seated. Our server came by quickly to take our drink order. Drinks were quick to arrive as was the food. Our serve was Ritchie and he checked on us multiple times to see how the food was and if we needed anything. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food was amazing! We got "The Twist" as I love soft pretzels. We opted for the beer cheese with it and it was a perfect complement to the pretzel. My husband got the shrimp burrito and I got the fried sea bass tacos, both equally good. It's honestly one of the best meals we've had out in awhile and we'll be back any time we're in town!“

“Found this place while in the neighborhood and I'm glad I did. The owners were so nice and welcoming. This family owned business feels very warm. My sister and I really enjoyed talking to the owners. Awesome personalities and awesome service. Great space and location. Recommended .“

“I hosted my birthday at SoCal Vibes this past weekend and really can't say enough good things about the experience. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the staff (Aerin, Spencer, Emma, and Maya) were all so helpful and accommodating. It sounds like a cliche given the name, but the energy of the space and the employees is exactly what'd you hope for when you think of the phrase "SoCal Vibes."On top of all that, the cost for the birthday was less than half of what a few other comparable bar/restaurants in the Venice/SM area were quoting me. That's not a knock on the other places, SCV is just very reasonably priced if you're looking to host a large group. Highly recommend anyone reading this consider SoCal Vibes whether you're planning an event or just need somewhere to unwind on the west side.“

“Great ambiance. The bartender was able to select the perfect beer for the description I gave him of what I was looking for. The food was outstanding. The people who run the place are great conversationalists and amazing beer makers. We loved our time hanging out there and will definitely be back.“

“The pizza was about average. The beer was good. The prices are more than I can afford but I was there on my birthday so I didn't have to pay lol. The workers were friendly and the place wasn't too busy. I would recommend it if you Don't mind spending about $4 a slice of pizza.“

“Good vibes! Flight is a great deal at 10 bucks for five pours. My favorites were lavender lace, bee keeper, and liv aloha. Bartender was awesome and super friendly. One of my favorite breweries in the area and I will be back.Also on a Friday they are open until 10 despite what it says on Yelp! Happy they were open for karaoke night. My only critique is don't let people fill up their own personal water bottle on the community water spout...with covid raging and all.“

“This brewery has great vibes and tasty beers. I usually get the Wandering Abroad, which is their fruit - cranberry sour. I'm a huge fan of sours and I'm always happy to see that they have a bit of selection of sours whenever I go! I recommend sitting in the outside area. There's an area to play cornhole, and there's usually a food truck to get some food from.“

“Delicious beer in a secluded, off the beaten path spot. I forget her name but the woman behind the bar was incredible: she made me feel welcome and gave me great suggestions for brews. We even talked about the LA craft brewery scene. Shout out to her!“

“Great service the place is huge. The micheladas are really good ? there was a lunch truck I got the grilled Salmon plate it was so good and a great portion. Another lunch truck pulled up later with fresh Pasta meals we got mozzarella sticks and a meat ball sandwich that was fire.? missed pics of that plate.“

“My favorite brewery here in Hawthorne. Staff is always great and friendly. Love their events too. Yeah parking isn't the greatest, but there's plenty nearby. Common Space and LA Ale works have parking issues too sometimes. Just waiting for them to bring back coffee on tap - it was delicious!“

“Smog City Brewing Co. is one of the best breweries I've been to in the LA Metro! They have a nice taproom space that expands outdoors, they have TV's playing whatever major game is going on that night, and the beer is top notch. My group thoroughly enjoyed the Tuna Thai Thai Belgian Blonde w/ Prickly Pear,Coffee Porter, Snuggly Bug Sour, Hoppy New Year Spruce Tip IPA and Unyielding Haze IPA! The Portuguese, Spanish and Mexican fusion taco stand was also amazing, and we came back for seconds! Some of the best tacos we've had in a long time! The prices for the beer here were also below market average which was a nice change of pace, especially since everything was delicious. 5/5 would highly recommend stopping in!“

“we love this place! The atmosphere is fun with chill vibes. Huge space. They have dozens of pin ball games, old school pac man, jumbo Jenga, comfy couches.. dogs are allowed/Kid friendly.. There’s always a nice mix of people when I’ve been, plus the guy that works weekend nights is nice eye candy ? I think his name is James.excited to get our group together for their trivia nights, starting this Tuesday.Besides all that they have really good beer! Surprisingly, my favorite during our last visit was this earl grey tea beer. I forgot the name but definitely worth a try!The only con I can say is they need better lighting on their business signs on Del Amo Blvd. especially with it getting darker earlier, it’s hard to see where they are, kinda hidden. Unless you’ve been before, you’d have no idea it was there once the sun goes down. A few lights at the entrance would probably go a long way for business.All in all, solid establishment. ?“

“Cellador has long been a top-rated brewery amongst beer fans/snobs, but their niche is very particular: They produce barrel-fermented sour beers, so if you're looking for a hard seltzer, Czech pilsner, or triple imperial pastry stout, this isn't the brewery for that. Cellador's current location on Del Amo Boulevard in Torrance is not a taproom; there's no place to drink here. To be honest, it's barely even a sales location. From the large Smog City Brewing logo on the wall, one can likely surmise they are using capacity at a Smog City facility ― especially since Smog City's brewery and taproom are right across the parking lot. (That, and the first person who helped me here I later spotted worked at said taproom.) The owner came and spoke with me, and was very patient even as I admitted that I am not a big fan of sour beers and that I had not warmed well to one of Cellador's I had recently tried. Nonetheless, I did find something to purchase: a Lichtenhainer, a rare type of beer that has a lactic fermentation where the malt is smoked, so it's both smoky and sour. (It's an acquired taste, to be sure, but I love smoked beers.) While their style may not be my thing, I respect Cellador's devotion to their craft, and the owner is a really nice guy, too. I wish them the best, and while they may not be in my beer strike zone, I'll keep trying them to see what they're doing.“

“Yelp Review: Went to Firestone Walker Brewing Company for trivia night yesterday and it had a lively crowd. With fun questions, a hype host and solid outdoor seating it was a nice environment. The staff was really friendly as well. The only downside was that the benches for outside seating weren't the most stable and could easily tumble if a customer isn't too careful. Ordered the chicken schnitzel and a basket of fries. The chicken was fried perfectly with nice crisp edges and full of flavor that it was a delight to eat by itself, although I added hot sauce to give it a little kick.(4.5/5) The fries were what you'd expect from galic parmesean fries, not too flashy but done pretty well. (3.5/5) Had a biere de mars and it just tasted like a normal beer with a tinge of lemon to me. I'm not a fan of beer personally and rating it wouldn't be fair in my opinion. I finished the night with their arnold palmer. I think the lemonade aspect of the drink could have been a tinge better but it was a solid drink. (4/5)“

“This brewery is so well hidden you'd never know it was there. Thankfully I'm always looking for new breweries to go to and this one I've had circled for a minute. I finally got a chance to go and at first sight the menu wasn't too impressive to my tastes. However, I do enjoy a good Hef and that's what I got. It was hands down one of the best beers I've ever tasted. I enjoy tasting new beers, I hardly ever stick with one beer and have it over and over again. But this Hef, I could picture myself doing that, it was so refreshing. The carbonation was on point and the flavor was outstanding. I also tried the hoppy Pilsner and I'm not a fan of strong hops. I do however enjoy the smell of hops and that beer smelled very hoppy but it didn't taste hoppy. It was magnificent. I really enjoyed my visit here. The taproom was very clean and it was a nice space. The service was outstanding. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgable. I'll definitely be coming back here. .“

“I wish I could drink here everyday. They make the best ipas in the world. Staff is always chill and helpful. Been to both locations and you get the same service. Been drinking monkish for 8 years now and finally got to visit the Brewery the past 2 years. Cheers“

“Nice little neighborhood brewery with a mini parking lot and plenty of street parking. The beertender was a nice guy and gave my husband a couple of splashes to help him decide which beer to choose. Looks like they are set up for some game playing a small stage for live music. Kind of quiet when we went on a Saturday afternoon. Seems like a great place for guys to get together.“

“I found out about Common Space Brewery through a spooky market they were hosting and though I'm not much of a beer drinker I do love some spook...needless to say I headed to Commom Space. Right off the bat I love they have their own parking lot...major points for that. I also love the whole indoor/outdoor vibe of the brewery. Picnic tables outside and high tops inside. No worries about finding a place to plop here. Now the event I went to also had vegan food vendors...trucks right in their parking lot so I was able to grab some yummy vegan grub before I hit the spooky vendors. But...before I hit the vendors I had to grab myself some beer right? So as a non beer drinker I was looking for something maybe sweet and it just so happened they had this Sunrise drink that was beer, grenadine and I forget what else....maybe pineapple. I know sounds kind of sketch but baby...it tasted so flipping good! Almost like a Mai Tai. As I was walking away with my drink several people stopped to ask what I had ordered and then I spotted them walking around the event with the drink. Ayyyy...I started a trend. Anyways I hit the vendors, made some purchases and then grabbed a table, chilled and then eventually went up for another one of those Sunrise drinks cuz why not right?All in all it was a fun time in a cool space. I had such a great time I've gone back for a few other events.Now Common Space is about 30 or 40 minutes from me but definitely worth the trek. Highly recommend.“

“Unfortunately this brewery and its locations in Redondo Beach are all closing at the end of the year. Place was packed yesterday with ppl buying beer like crazy. Once the inventory runs out that's it. Too bad had alot of good beer here. Get there while you can“

“Great beer, service, and vibe! Checked out Absolution on Sunday and it was great. Head Brewer and beer tender were friendly and very informative. Enjoyed chatting with them about their current beer and future brews that are coming. Lots of TV's going with the Sunday NFL games on. Dog friendly and food truck on site. Micheladas are amazing! Loved the beer and peeps. We will be back.“
