29 Best Craft Breweries near Signal Hill

“We got a flight of various IPAs and the bacon pesto pizza. Holy smokes their pizza is amazing! Typically at breweries the food offering is not as good as the beer offering, but this place is on point with both! We will definitely come back and try the other pizzas on the menu and also enjoy the local beer. The service was great, can't say enough about this place.“

“Had an amazing time during our visit to La Jara Brewery in Norwalk, their beer selection is amazing, the Anabelle and the Golden Girlz had to be our favorites. We started with the sampler to try them out first. But couldn't resist getting a couple of rounds. ?. Watsons Pizza and a Fish Taco vendors are onsite offering their amazing dishes that go well with the La Jara Brewing Beers.“

“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.“

“Cool venue with an excellent beer selection and some great food.
The jumbo pretzel is an absolute must, one of the best I've ever had! Even on its own it was delicious, but then pair it with the house made beer cheese, and it's hard to stop eating it!
The fried pickles were awesome, too, very lightly breaded thick chips with great flavor.
Bacon wrapped shrimp were slightly smoky, sticky, savory-sweet glazed. Very good overall.
Beer flight for the win with one of them being an experimental hop brew.“

“❤️❤️❤️ THIS PLACE IS ABSOLUTEY AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAFF THAT KNOWS ALOT ABOUT BEERS.

“I didn't have any expectations going here, but they were all quickly exceeded! I loved how there were several different stands to get food from, including a dedicated bar area (I hate it when you have to order food at the bar).The food was all really fairly priced and so good! It paired well with the beer flight my partner and I got. There are many unique beers to have, and the bartender who served us was super cool and friendly.I definitely want to come back again! It was a vibe!“

“1st time there... absolutely AWESOME food.“

“I stopped going for pizza after purchasing a pizza oven 1.5 years ago. I would go occasionally for their incredible sour dough for my pizza. Every pie I made got a little better. Last Monday we went for pizza and beers. I’ve come to realize their pizza is so much better than mine. Maybe I’ll figure it out in a couple years but for now I’ll keep coming for the taste testing. Atmosphere loses a star due to parents letting their kids run amok with no supervision.“

“Great atmosphere good service awesome beverages“

“🙂👍 Abel, Leo, and all the employees do a great job!“

“Another good meal at BJ's. Service today was reasonably fast and the food was great. I had the Jambalaya and my wife had the Spicy Peanut Chicken with Soba Noodles.

Both dishes were great.

Highly recommend the Chips & Guacamole Salsa appetizer.

As the trend continues, prices are noticeably higher. Expect to easily spend $75 for two. We would eat here more if it wasn't so expensive.“

“It is a calm environment, the sunset looks very beautiful. I like that you order online and pay, so there's no problem splitting bills when you go with friends. The cheese on the nachos is delicious 🤤 although I found the meat very seasoned (I don't really enjoy strong seasonings) the pretzel was delicious, the potatoes too. In general the food and drinks were very good. What I didn't like very much was the service, there are so many people that the waiters are in a hurry, one of them spilled the beer on the jacket of one of the customers and didn't seem to care much. The food comes out without a name (many times) so at large tables it is difficult to know who it belongs to and there is a lot of noise. There are also no tables for large groups so if there are more than 8-10 they will probably all be at separate tables.

Parking: There is free parking; However, it tends to get crowded, we saw a sign that said 3 hours Parking but it took a little longer and everything was fine

Kid-friendliness: Not much, although some couples brought their children, there is alcohol for sale and there is no children's area“
