50 Best Craft Breweries near Santa Ana

“If you are taking a tour of terribly paved industrial sectors you may run across this basic brewery which I've found weirdly chill all 3 times I've been, but beer is good and the folks seem cool. I understand it's been around for a while and still with the beer. C'est la Vie.“

“Karaoke Thursday!!! Everyone there is so friendly and accommodating. I celebrated my birthday there and had the best time! Oh and we played trivia too and my team won!“

“My family and I have been customers of this place for over 20 years. There is no better place in Santa Ana (or Orange County for that matter) for a good old-fashioned birria. It is cooked to perfection. I came today after a couple of years, and they have simply not lost their magic touch. The same staff from years ago making the same delicious recipe. Trust me, this is the spot!“

“Brunch is excellent. So many options on your choice of food. Everything from breakfast, lunch and desert. Outstanding service. Thank you, Tammy Jo & her assistant.“

“Hands down my favorite bruery that I've been to. They have the BEST selection of dark beers with amazing flavors! I love their outside area too, covered and with plenty of seating and there's usually a food truck too! The staff is great especially Troy who is so nice and accommodating, you instantly feel welcome and like you're talking to a friend! Will definitely be back very soon! 🍻“

“Hello! from Inventive Label, Inc..Their Stereo Blonde beer is soooo goooood. 2 of these and you're a happy camper (16oz 5% alcohol). It's the only one I've tried so far and keep buying it. Will try another one soon. BTW very nice place to chill. Thx guys for making this great beer.“

“Great place to relax. Love that it’s walking distance to where we stay. Park right across the street.“

“All-American Brew is a GREAT place! I've been here several times, but twice in the past 2 weeks. Had the F14 Tomcat sandwich and it was awesome! Another time for meeting some friends visiting from out of town and had one of the blondes on tap, was fantastic. Perfect to enjoy sitting outside for a nice summer evening on their patio.??“

“BRC is Amazing!!! 👏 🍺🍻🌮🥳🥂“

“Great beer, friendly staff, nice owner and environment.“

“Nice and clean place very spacious. I liked the decor and action figures, pop figures ect. Highly recommend some drink they serve there like the regeneration, sith serum! And red Vespa. Would be nice if there was more paint on walls of comics also comic books to read would be dope they do have board games.“

“One of my favorite breweries that I've been to. Its an intimate venue 15 minutes from Angels stadium and Disney. A lot of breweries specialize in a couple styles, but these guys do it all well. We really enjoyed the cocktail style smoothie beers fortune & glory and return to Saturn. Their barleywine, universe from scratch, might be the best I have had. Its meant to be like apple pie, but tasted like cinnamon toast crunch to me. Their hard seltzers are perfect for summer drinking. The staff was incredible. Give these guys a shot, you won't be disappointed.“

“Good times nice place to have a nice cold beer and hang out with family and friends. They have indoor and outdoor seating.⚓️💦🍺😎 they rent kegs here and are in a close location to their local Disc golf club 🥏⛳️ so this can be your 19th hole“

“Great experience. Fun taproom. Staff is very friendly.“

“Great service, nice atmosphere and friendly servers“

“The best brewery, they serves the best beers and unique flavors of beers 🍻 especially beer with dairy and some flavorful beers at its best. Located near Aneheim packing district so food you can bring it from there.
Note - no food is being served here“

“I’m a long-time customer at this brewery, and I absolutely love everything about this place — the beer is perfect, and I really enjoy the events and all the activities they organize. However, there’s one waitress who has a very bad attitude. I believe she might be from India; she has a darker complexion and is quite short.

Every time I come to the brewery, she treats me very rudely. One time, she served my beer in a plastic cup, and I kindly asked her to please serve it in a glass instead, because I don’t like drinking beer from plastic. Even though I asked politely, she served the beer very aggressively — she practically slammed it down, and it overflowed from the glass.

I didn’t know what to say because I was in shock. Another waiter kindly replaced my beer afterward. I think it would be good if someone spoke to her, because she is very rude.“

“Love Brewheim ♥️ l Great Staff my favor beer is American Red 🥳🙌🏻✨“

“First time at the tasting room, we love the brewery on Gothard! Walked up with my blind Yorkie in a stroller and asked, is it dog friendly here? Everyone….employees & patrons…”yes, come in”! Beer was delicious & refreshing, loved the hometown crowd!“

“Awesome place, love the ambience, the glassware used to serve their beer, and the friendliness of the staff. Our favorite spot in the OC for beer 👌“

“Nice little brewery with a good variety of beers. Quiet atmosphere, perfect to enjoy the football, baseball games on their TVs over a point or two.“

“great IPAs...........“

“What an amazing team I was not a beer drinker this is the only beer I will drink the brew master really knows his stuff and so passionate of his brewing. And the bartenders are very knowledgeable of their beers and of recommendations. They have fun events check out their website.“

“Hospitable Service & Tasty Beer“

“Great craft brewery 10 minutes from John Wayne Airport. Attached to a place called the anti-mall ( never knew) with shops, restaurants, stuff..great pre-flight choice for a flight 😂😅😉“

“I am in love with this little place!!! I come here every Friday specifically for Karissa! She is so sweet and beautiful. She makes my week every week! This is a little gold nugget hidden in a huge rock! I love this place. Everybody makes you feel so welcome and when Saul is here with his authentic Mexican food it blows my mind! Check it out!!!“

“This place was recommended, i finally made it! Enjoyed a steak taco and a pastor taco. The meat was very tender and flavorful. The salsas were fresh and delicious. These might be the best tacos I’ve had in some time. I tried their Red (and I’ve tried many), it is well worth coming back for, great beer! Their beer and menu choices are worth repeat visits. I have worked in hotel/restaurant in the past so I can tell they have freshness and great flavors here. Bravo!“

“Great gluten free beer (100% gf, not gluten-removed) and LOVE the special pop-up menu's!!“

“Perfect place relaxing environment and the kindest people.“

“As part of our group's brewery tour, we visited this place and enjoyed their excellent selection of beers and tasty appetizers. We had a lot of fun, and our bartender was amazing. The variety of flavors was impressive. Overall, it was a great experience. Highly recommended!“

“Really solid brewery option. Big fan of an option space with high top and regular table options, which they have (in addition obviously to seats at the bar). The bartender was attentive and nice. The beers had a good variety, especially of IPAs, and each of the IPAs we had were pretty tasty. Love that it has such easy parking.

The table we grabbed was also big enough for us to commandeer a board game, which is always appreciated.

This will most likely become part of our rotation for board game/brewery collection.“

“Great place to enjoy a 🍻 or two“

“Great beer and food is amazing.“

“Food is OK! But portions are big and everything tastes fresh. Salsas were really good but the chips could break your teeth lol. Loved the outdoor dog friendly seating. Servers were really great. Got the Pina Loca and it was alright. Nice vibey spot for dinner by Newport beach.“

“I wasn't impressed. The food was just so so and kinda bland. So disappointed in the cornbread. I live in the south so maybe its a southern thing to have amazing cornbread with bbq. This is all subject to my own opinion of course. Everyone has different taste buds and someone else could have totally enjoyed it. Ithis placr just wasn't for me..

The best thing was the service and the cocktails.“

“I go for the food....their food is delicious. Highly Highly recommend the wings (mangocart habanero)...brussels....stuffed jalapeños....spinach artichoke dip. The bar staff are not always super friendly....very hit or miss, but the food is something I cannot stay away from!!“

“Amazing experience and the environment very friendly“

“Yummy apps and beer. Loved the egg rolls and the fried cheese curds! Yum“

“New to the area so wanted to explore the local beer options and this will definitely remain on our rotation. They have a solid amount of rotating and guest beers, which we appreciate. Bar seating was easy to get and pleasant. Parking can be a bit meh but there is a mall garage almost immediately outside to resort to instead. Staff super friendly.

The beers were pretty mid but will be back just because of easy of convenience and the vibe.“

“Great place on the weekend“

“We held our daughter and son-in-laws “ day after wedding” gathering for friends and family who couldn’t make it on their wedding day in 2021 (because of COVID limitations). We also just held a co-ed baby shower for them just this past weekend there.(2023). You now can reserve an area (for a fee) and get catered platters of food items. This made it so much easier than individual orders. Usually there is a band playing on Saturdays and Sundays. The staff were all nice and great to work with. It was great to have a large outdoor venue for their baby shower.“

“This is one of the greatest pizzas ever. I've tried a lot of pizza in Hb and FV. This had to be the freshest and most unique pizzas ever. They also have great names for the pizzas. I got the Home Alone and Life's a garden, Dig it. Amazing. I will be back for more pizzas. Also, while waiting for my pizza, I tried one of their signature beers. I was also so amazed how great it was, and it was one of the greatest beers ever. It was a great atmosphere, and the customer service was exceptional great. The whole experience was great. I'll be back for more for sure...“

“Great menu for food and there beer!“

“We will be back. Good food love it. 😍“
