Santa Ana River Brewing Company Brewery • $
3480 W Warner Ave unit B, Santa Ana

“What a great surprise!

The owner was incredibly generous and let us try several different beers before we decided what to order. The tasting pours were much bigger than expected, and the prices were very reasonable.

If you get hungry, don’t skip the sushi. The locals told us it’s the best sushi around, so we had to give it a try—and they were absolutely right. Everything was fresh, delicious, and paired perfectly with the beer.

Friendly service, great craft beer, excellent food, and a relaxed atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“Tried several of their lagers this time — all very clean and smooth, no off-flavors.
The dark lager has a really nice malt character, not sweet or heavy, with a clean finish.
If you’re into more traditional lager styles, this place is worth checking out.“

“Super solid spot for 3x IPA!
Great story of the founder who was a monk in seminary school… ish. Overall the ambience was pleasant, there is very strong hoppy smell as this is where the produce the goods. So if the smell is an issue for you... please buy and take it to go. Also parking can be a huge issue if you show up on weekends or at the normal HH times (5-7pm). so be prepared to park across the street.“

Synth Beer Co. Brewery •
2960 Randolph Av, Costa Mesa - 4.74 miles

“This is a very good brewery with talented brewers and extremely friendly staff. It has a really laid back vibe and sitting at the bar is great by yourself and with friends. It's in an awesome area right in walking distance to the huddle and green cheek. The food vendors that come there are always top tier and there's a good variety throughout the month. The seltzers are cocktail inspired so lower carbonation. The hard tea one is a must try over ice. These guys got me back into IPAs again because of how good they taste. They have one for each preference and not to mention they already won a bronze medal for their Italian pilsner which is one of my favorites. These guys are up there with green cheek and everywhere brewing. I'd say they go for less options but the menu is also more dialed in than green cheek and they have a very solid lineup. Synth is batting 1000“

“This is one of the places where me and my friends feel we can let our nerd flag fly. You can truly be yourself and feel safe doing so. There is always something nerdy going on, always.

My friends are big IPA and Blonde drinkers, I’m not. So having a sour and seltzers access is always a big win for me. Staff always takes the time to find me the right drink or even throw together a cocktail.

Seeing this staff really pour their everything into this shows how much a labor of love it is. That’s why I’m always glad to patron here.“

1621 Sinclair St B, Anaheim - 4.44 miles

“They put pop up guys outside without integrity. Too bad the review goes to the brewery, but they have guys who will lie to you to get your money selling outside. Ultimately, that's on them. Skip it if its a smash burger pop up.

EDIT: Added three stars for the response of the brewery. And honestly, pass it on to the smash burger guys, that they're a customer service business, when they slow down because their cook has no experience in restaurants, ask for forgiveness, rather than taking people's money who can't wait around for their food because it took sooooooo much longer than they quoted. These guys were clearly only their to serve themselves, and that's bad business and sadly super common in today's market. They deserve a chance to improve, but they need guidance from the older generation. They wouldn't hear it from me. Put someone on the grill who can have more than one thought at a time for an hour for them, and the kid will get it. Their frontman might be hopeless though. Not sure. A good cook would help his deficiencies though.“

“This brewery has such an awesome vibe. The beers are top notch. I love West Coast ipa's and they have 4 on the menu. Try them all. I think they're all amazing. I also love hazy's, and they have some really good ones here, very fruity, very hoppy, citrusy, but also malty, which I love. The food is also really good. Their Pizza is amazing. I got the works. It was delicious. It's actually pretty big. The sandwiches are also incredible and they are huge. There's like 4 pieces to it, so bring your appetite. The atmosphere is super chill. It's right next to the train tracks. And it's cool when a locomotive goes rolling by... I love this place. I give it 5 stars.“

“Hi. I have been to the brewery before and really enjoyed the beer. However, my last experience was a bit confusing. The reason for the confusion was, I was there on a Thursday and it said your opening time was at one at 1:10 I was told by somebody in the brewery when I knocked on the window that it was three when he held up three fingers I went to call to see why they weren’t open and your voice message said that it opens on noon on Thursday. It would be great. We appreciated to have one time correct and not three because I would really like to come back and enjoy your beer.“
