Beachwood Brewing & Distilling

ONE OF MY FAV BREWERIES !

Any beer, solid. Always.

My friend and I wanted to go here for the first time to watch the survivor night showing. We were looking forward to this event until we walked in to the extremely pungent smell of feces. It literally smelled like a dog pound. We immediately walked out as it seemed to be in the whole establishment. No way would we be able to eat or drink in there.

Great time. Pin ball machines in the back with parking. Great food and drinks. Must say how much I enjoy the merch. They sell the best glassware. Must come back and buy more merch. Staff is superb.

Stirred, not shaken. For I am not a sissy boy, like James Bond.

Beachwood brews over 25 of their own beers, along with distilling their own rum, gin & vodka. Unfortunately, whiskey is not included. Once I arrived, I was dead set on an Elder Vesper. Created by Ian Fleming as the favorite cocktail for his titular character, James Bond. A boozy beverage, Bond took his "shaken, not stirred". Not me! Stirred, not shaken. Shaking dilutes the cocktail moreso than stirring. Give it to me stiff!

Elder Vesper-
Beachwood Vodka, Beachwood Citrus Gin, Lillet Blanc, St. Germain Elderflower, Beachwood Orange Bitters. Dry, strong & lovely, this was my first taste of a martini, and I highly enjoyed the bright & crisp cocktail.

Chi Chi-
Beachwood Vodka, Trader Vic's Macadamia Nut Liqueur, Pineapple Juice, Cream of Coconut, Lime Juice. Yikes! Too sweet! Akin to an ICEE/slushie, I was given half a Tiki mug of this blood sugar spiking concoction, and I'm thankful I only had that much to drink.

Beer Sample Flight-
I asked if could sample a beer or two, and was graciously provided a flight of four of their popular beers on tap. My favorite being the Gator.

Beachwood Wood-Fired House Bread w/ Whipped Ricotta-
48 hour fermented sourdough bread, baked to order and served with whipped ricotta, roasted garlic & soft herbs. Very good! The bread had a substantial pull to it. The whipped ricotta was heavenly, dolloped upon each tear of bread. Quite filling!

Gratitude the staff at Beachwood Brewing & Distilling. The hospitable service, expertly crafted cocktails & tantalizing eats afforded a fine evening experiencing a previously unventured culinary destination.

Pinball! I go there for pinball, including friendly tournaments every other Thursday. Plenty big enough selection of beer. Beer is everywhere but pinball isn't. (Though check out I Need a Miracle Tickets for hourly/subscription on 20+ pinball machines if you don't already know).
Food service is new and a nice addition. Longer hours and willingness to at least serve til closing time is a must. End of night can feel unfriendly in that respect.
Patricia's next door has good cheap mexican food and I think Beachwood lets you bring it in, or at least they used to.

Would give less if I voyld terrible work schedule I do t come late I come at 4 and every day at 430 the entire parking lot is full of busses every Wednesday Thursday and Friday there's no space for parking customers park illegally and block the busses and vans that come to pick up disable people from daycare those people are not the problem but if you seen this every week 3 days of your 5 day schedule you'd think to maybe open the brewery a little later maybe keep it open a little longer but no instead the brewery takes more parking spaces by putting an immobile food trailer back there and wasting half the lot that is theirs and making more parking troubles for customers of both establishments. I've been here for a beer as well it wasn't special at all nothing new just inconvenient as hell and the bartender is too damn cool for anyone that isn't 50+ and dressed like they have money to burn. Terrible space that ruined some of the community I'd rather drink at patricas next door these owners are whack and I have seen them yell at staff publicly. Fix your work schedule no one NEEDS to be drunk before 430 Wed Thurs Friday not worth the hassle costs too much no service to speak of could have served myself in a nicer manner with all the sarcasm I'd give myself it'd still be nicer.

Great bear, atmosphere, and live music on Fridays.

Real quality beer

Love Beachwood beer but the bar tender cold her attitude so rude and rushing.

THE BEST BEER in Long Beach along with their other locations. Great neighborhood pub. IPA Heaven on earth.

Came for a meet-up with my wife for a music Friday

Delicious rotating selection of craft beer. Fun pinball games on site for the whole family to enjoy and the bartenders are always so polite and helpful. Highly recommend this local gem!

Cold beer, friendly people, and clean taps. Was a happy first time visitor to Beachwood Brewing!!

Supposed to be open until 10pm but server couldn’t be bothered to serve at 2145. Waste of time.
