The review is need on our visit in March of 2017 at the Long Beach, CA location.

WOW! We are from southwest PA, and this place was such an experience to remember. Sat on the deck over looking the water as the sun was beginning to set.....A beautiful ending to our vacation (despite almost being mugged at a doughnut shop on the main drag in Long Beach) during a very rough time in our lives....

We tried at least 6 beers.... What a memory....

Great place to taste you way through a very wide variety of beers from Ballast Point. If you like, you can also take a tour of the brewery. There's also a small gift shop on site if you were looking for some clothes, glasses, signs, etc

Tucked in an industrial park is the glorious brewery. Just about all of their currently available beers on tap with a number of limiteds and flavor variants that aren't easy to get. Tours happen on a regular basis which is a nice little thing to do. Decent gift shop for some goodies to take homeaswell.

Honestly I'm interested why they cost so much. Truly not worth it. Just hops shoved in a bottle to call it a beer.

By far, the best tap room I've been to. Odd location in the middle of a residential area but tons of Taos, experimental brews, great patio and grilling outside
