Impressed with the selection of local fruit-based IPA's. Chill place to try out some new beers and enjoy the afternoon. A good find in an unsuspecting place!

Modern brewery in an industrial park. Spacious open interior with straight service bar on the right and large patio in front. 16 or so beers on tap, and they sell single cans to go.

I really like this small local brewery. The selection wasn't the best as I visited after St. Patrick's day weekend. Outside of that, the customer service was excellent and I felt welcomed. It is a nice sized place with many seating options. TVs showing sports...great place to hangout!

I stopped by after running some errands at Victoria Gardens which is only 10-20 minutes away depending on traffic. From the front it looks small, but as soon as you enter the main room it opens up into a beautiful tasting room with lots of seating inside and out. The beer selection was strong and the service was awesome even when it was busy. There was a food truck behind the brewery right next to their patio section. There we boards games and even corn hole. Overall I really enjoyed this brewery and i plan to go back soon. I had a Pineapple Milkshake IPA which i really enjoyed. I even got a 3-pack crowler to go.

I visited Hamilton Family Brewery since I was in the neighborhood. From the outside, it looks like your typical place in an industrial park. Other businesses right next to each other, and this space didn't look all that big from the outside. However, once you enter and make a turn to the back, it's much larger than I expected. The atmosphere was very nice. I could tell people came here and were happy spending time. They had monitors and lots of board games.

They didn't have a bar area, just where you order your beers and you just find yourself a table. I tried a flight of 4 house beers, they were good; Midnight Oil being my favorite for the day. The server was friendly.

They don't serve food, and I didn't see any food trucks today. Like I mentioned, this is a very comfortable place to enjoy good beer and spend time with friends. They were also friendly to the canine friends by giving them a bowl of water and some doggie treats.

Really enjoyed my visit. Will return again in the future.

This is a fairly small brewery with a decent sized taproom. They usually have 12 or so beers on tap with some bottles to go and growler fills. They offer tasters, flights, and full pours. Service is friendly and attentive. Worth a stop.

New breweries continue to open shop across the country, and among those is the Hamilton Family Brewery. Finding the place is made easy from the moment you turn onto the small street which leads to the brewery. As you turn on, several signs point you to the right direction of "brewery", a great feature to have given the many shops inside said industrial complex. Plenty of parking outside, and looking from the outside a happy crowd on hand.

Hamilton Family Brewery uses its small space well. Several tables and a counter make the seating. A few pieces of artwork relating to the brewery are visible on one side of the wall. The beer menu is written in chalk, but is organized and easy to read. Finally, there's the bar where you order your beer and other merchandise.

Having just tapped out of one beer, there were 11 different beers to choose, hitting multiple styles. Among those styles covered were an American Pale Ale, English Brown Ale, Pale Wheat Ale, IPA, Double IPA, Triple IPA, and Stout. Samplers are available, and for $16, you can purchase a "beer box", which comes with eight 5 ounce tasters, pretzels, and a cup of water. I only tasted one "weakling" of the eight I had, and the 2x4 IPA was my favorite of the batch (damn good indeed!). Overall, the beer quality is very good across the board.

The bartender was already very helpful during my visit and exceeded my expectations for service. Adding the cherry and whipped cream to the cake was the owner, who came by to say hello as I was taking notes of the beers. Not only a good brewery, but a very personable guy.

The immediate area has been dry of a very good craft brewer, and Hamilton Family Brewery fits that niche like a glove. This may be the best spot in Rancho Cucamonga for a beer.

Great spot. This place started out big, with growlers, glassware, shirts, etc. Run by husband and wife team.

Everything is hand built by Josh Hamilton, the owner and head brewer. I mean everything. The tables, artwork, the serving bar, etc.

The beer selection is excellent. I would recommend the Midnight Oil, which is an 8.0%abv foreign stout and the mango IPA, which is only available when they have their supply of local organic mangoes.

Priced pretty well. It's also very family-friendly. Juice boxes are available to anyone, not just children.

Flights come with complimentary pretzels and mustard.

I haven't seen food trucks, but they have a tent set up for food vendors to come.
