Homage Brewing

Sadly, I have only been here twice. But the vibe is chill, cool music, and definitely people working here that know their stuff, and love talking beer. A must visit if a beer fan is in this region.

I stopped by Homage after landing in Ontario for a biz conference in Palm Springs. The place is nicely located in the middle of "downtown" Pomona. There is a nice long bar and surrounding tables. If the weather was nice....they have street side seating. The two beers I tried were very good....im pissed they don't do flights here tho. The bar keep is working two mixing tables with 80's hits rocking.....and serving beers too. They 9 beers rolling today....selection seems to cover most categories. Only advise I would give is to serve flights....outside of that good place to visit fo sho!

 

Industrial corner spot with a small patio out front. Interior is a few tables and an upstairs area. It's all open, warehouse style. Lighting is strange, feels like you're stepping into a club or a posh cocktail spot. Selection is pretty limited, but what is there is quality. It's all about saisons here, hence the limited selection. Good spot to visit for saisons! Service is fine.

 

Nice place! Great chili vibe and excellent customer service! Brews are high quality and for a smaller brewery, they had a nice selection for everyone. So glad I was able to come by!

 

 

 

Homage is a wonderful visit. The vibe is always chill and relaxed, with music playing that's somewhere between Washed Out and Frank Ocean. The nice thing about that mix of genres is you'd have to be a real asshole to pick a serious bone with it. It's smooth, with an amenable beat and abounding texture—not unlike Homage's interior. The understated furniture and color scheme accentuate the sense of space within the brewery, while a tasteful volume of plants line the walls and broad windows. It all contributes to a cool, smooth feel that encourages you to pay attention to the finer details, just like Homage's beers.

And the beer! The quality is outstanding. Just peep a few of my Homage reviews.

Service? Timely, attentive, accommodating. These folks always deserve a good tip, so don't be stingy, goddamnit.

As far as the selection, they typically have a nice array of the beer styles that they brew: sundry Belgian styles with an emphasis on wild and sour beers, American-style vehicles for hops (mostly in the NE (D)IPA realm), European hoppy lagers, and the occasional stout or porter. If you're looking for a cookie milshake DIPA, candycane dessert stout, mango wheat, or triple barrel aged barleywine you may not find it here. But you will find a handful of expertly-brewed beers that show deep understanding of the source inspiration without sacrificing room to improve upon the original.

In my mind, Homage is an absolute must-visit brewery in the greater Los Angeles area. Patronize the shit out of these folks, because they absolutely deserve your business and support (and not just when they have a can release that you intend to trade away).

 

 

 

 

Cool place with a great vibe.

 

Very cool spot to get together and drink. I love all their beers, milk lizard is a great milk stout. IPA's are solid and very tasty, but their sours are awesome!!! I've made all the bottle releases but the first. Loved every single one and always look forward to each new release.
