Relentless Brewing Company

 

Visited mid day, so hard to judge vibe. Brewer on premesis answered all my brewing questions while brewing an experimental. Sour forward beers are very well done. Knowledgeable server

The beer culture of Temecula continues to explode in growth, and Relentless Brewing is one more brewery to the bustling scene. Located west of I-15 (along with many other Temecula breweries), Relentless is squeezed within an industrial complex and isn't easy to spot off the road; watch for address numbers as you approach. Enter through a small door with shades and you enter a tasting room. Several tables, one long bar, and a couple other long tables make the seating, perhaps enough to seat over 30 guests, with additional standing room. Being in an industrial complex and during the summer time, it gets warm inside, so get used to the heat. There's isn't much that stands out in the tasting room, however....

The beers I tried were worth talking about. There are 24 taps behind the bar, but only 8 of them were pouring (the bartender admitted the selection was much lower than usual). Nonetheless, the list was intriguing; brett-saison, peach and apricot sour, Double IPA, Tripel, Hawaiian coffee Tripel, export stout, and more. 12 ounce pours into branded goblets added texture to the experience, and many cost $5. The apricot and peach sour was sweet and delicious, and the Hawaiian coffee tripel melded both Tripel and some of the flavors of Hawaii very well. I even got to taste a Lichtenhainer, a smoked sour beer that's wasn't on the taplist, but one I adored and thought was unique.

Great service throughout, and having a bartender who was hospitable added to the joy of Relentless. I shall return again.
