    Wow. This place definitely deserves the ratings it is getting. Was not disappointed in one thing. The ambiance is great. Just a block of beach in a really cool area. The food was excellent. Definitely not bar food. They have a very talented chef. Had the Brussels sprouts and they were awesome. All the food we had was a hit. Now on to the beer. It was top notch. I had a sample of all the hazys and they were very good. I even tried the Ollie which is a kolsch (I never like Kolsches) but this was fantastic. I had just visited the legendary Russian River brewery and the beers here were better as a whole. Well done. Keep up the good work.

    A great place to find good craft beer. The problem is that during the day in the summer, the patio area is disturbed by flies. It's a great daytime beer though.

    Excellent beer. Food was outstanding, much better than I thought it was going to be. Service was above and beyond. If you go hopefully Veronica is your server. She is amazing.

    Only had the beer here so can't comment on the food but have really enjoyed our times at the Hermosa Brewing Company. Great IPA options with my particular favorite being the Hazy A.F. So if you're looking for a place that you can sit down, have some good beer, and talk while playing games like Uno, Connect 4, Exploding Kittens, cards, etc. then this is a good place to do that!

    Finally we have found the perfect spot in the neighborhood that meets all our requirements. Perfect for a sun -soaked beer session under the sun on the their terrace. The food is really good, they have a fixed menu and daily specials, we opted for the specials and we weren’t disappointed. The service is excellent as well :) Definitely It has become one of our favorites places in the area!

    Hoppin’ little brewery by the beach! Solid beers with a great kitchen to back them up. It’s busy on the weekend, but stop by and check them out if you’re nearby.

    Exceptional food, far better than one expects at a brewery. The menu reads like mild variations on standard pub fare, but the execution -- quality ingredients and imaginative combinations -- take things to the next level. Beer was great, too. I had the Czech pilsner and my friend had the tangerine wheat. The former was excellent, the latter a beautiful balance between fruit and beer.

    I like the spot, something Hermosa needed in my opinion. Beer selection is growing and everything I've tried has been decent. I keep coming back!

    Chef Aaron Dubois's cuisine @hermosabrewingco never ceases to tantalize the taste buds in this small corner brewpub. Simply named items, like this Tuna Tostada, would call for a much more exalted title in a formal restaurant, but he has chosen to let the food speak for itself. Fresh ahi tuna dressed in an achiote lime vinaigrette, topped with a tomatillo & avocado puree with sprigs of cilantro. .

    12/10 recommend. There service was phenomenal. Dave & Tyber were running the show with a high influx of customers at once. They were never unpleasant (QUITE the opposite) or showed anything other than their desire for everyone to be catered to, sat in a timely manner, & served with excellence. It truly blew me away. Being a party of 1 as I rolled up on my bike, they prioritized me just like anyone else. The brews themselves would convince me to come back! SUCH STELLAR hospitality & quality beer. I will be a regular :)

    Was visiting from Canada with a friend and we were excited to try the beers here! Beers were delicious, food was great, and our server was an angel living here on earth amongst us named Steve. He gave us great recommendations, and was a genuinely lovely person that made our experience here great! Will be back next time we are in the area! :)

    The beer was great I tried the "Czech your head" and the my "old friend" porter but the food was superb. I tried the Squash Blossoms and the Bluefin tuna entree specials they were delicious as good as could be found at a high-end restaurant.

    Trivia is available on Wednesdays at 7pm. There’s 7 rounds and it’s a fun group activity. The reservation can be made online but note that the group size is limited to 6. We had a group of 8 so we were split into 2 groups of 4. Indoor seating is only for trivia but they have outdoor seating as well for regular patrons. Two item minimum is required for trivia in order to offset their costs. You order at the bar and they bring your food to your table. I got the fried chicken sandwich, which was huge and tasty. I added fries for an additional $3. I also got a chocolate cake (which came with housemade whipped cream) and had a raspberry filling. They have shareable including loaded tots and sweet potato fries that may be good for the table.

    Small bar type setup brewery with good options of lager and IPA’s . I am a lager hunter and if you are on Hermosa beach and tired of generic lager drafts and head here for change and this place wouldn’t disappoint.

    Great food, beer and atmosphere. You can't go wrong with the BLT and Double IPA. ?

  • 5/5 Robert C. 5 years ago on Google
    Clean and bright with Windows to check out the beach traffic, great beers I tried the Hazy AF IPA it's well balanced and tasty. We also had a BLTA that was really good, maybe a burger next time cause they looked good. We'll be back!

  • 5/5 Christopher D. 5 years ago on Google
    Great beer, friendly staff. Do yourself a favor and get the hot chicken sandwich. They convinced me to try it omg -- it was worth it.

    I went to this place today which is August 4th, 2018 with my wife and daughter. This place is totally good for young people who are younger than me and i am 35 years old. I ordered bahn mi, korean taco and roasted elote with some beers for me. Absolutely, don' t get any korean named food because they are not korean food. I am a korean, so i know about korean foods. They are not korean. And about bahn mi, tjis place just use same sauce to make the korean taco. So not real bahn mi either. For the last food we got today, roasted elote, this is the first time i got this food but i will never pay for a corn more than $8. You can order thisbif you think you are richer than anyone else. About beer, truly, nothing was special. We went this place because we thought this was a german sausage place where we saw a long time ago. Bye bye. Will never go back this place.

  • 5/5 Tricia R. 5 years ago on Google
    This place is run by locals who know good food and beer. Seriously the food is so damn good and I honestly wasn’t expecting it to be so good! I’m hoping they get to open up the front at some point to get that ocean breeze coming in ?!

  • 5/5 John “Big j” K. 8 months ago on Google
    Amazing place excellent food ambiance and location. But the one the that sets it apart is the GM Jeff S he is a consummate professional always looking out for the needs of the customer and the employees. I've followed Jeff around to different businesses in Hermosa and his professionalism and attention to detail follows him everywhere he goes what an amazing guy. Happy Birthday Jeff

    Playing trivia with friends, on trivia night. They yell at you if you are having fun with people and talk about the wrong answers to your own group. Do not recommend. 1/100.

  • 5/5 Caitlin M. 1 year ago on Google
    We were recommended to go here by our friend in Sask, Canada and we were so happy to meet Kara and Aaron! The hospitality was great and the beer was amazing. Thank you for entertaining us during our short stay!

  • 5/5 Amy P. 1 year ago on Google
    I LOVE trivia night. SO MUCH FUN!!! It's busy, but the service is always friendly and ON POINT. Food can be a wait, BUT WORTH IT. Everything is fresh, creative and absolutely delicious. Don't miss the special board!!!

  • 5/5 Tia G. 2 years ago on Google
    Great service, it was a beautiful day so we sat outdoors, I ordered the veggie sandwich which was heavenly and the brussel sprouts also great. My nice and nephew loved their HBC burgers and beer. We will most definitely be go back.

  • 5/5 Danielle W. 11 months ago on Google
    I love HBC! They host a Geeks Who Drink Trivia every Wednesday and I’ve been going for several years. The employees are amazing, Veronica and Jess are so sweet and accommodating. The beer is so tasty, I love their IPA variety. The food is amazing and they have weekly specials in addition to their regular menu. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND

  • 5/5 Becky B. 2 years ago on Google
    Let me start off by saying I have a very high spice tolerance so please be aware with reading my review. When it comes to wings and places claiming to have "ghost pepper " flavor many places fall short on spice. This may be the first place to fill my taste buds with joy . The twice fried wings had a nice feathery skin and was decently coated with the most delicious, flavorful ghost pepper bbq sauce I have ever tasted. I am no stranger to spice since I love Carolina reapers and scorpion peppers so I set the bar high when it comes to my spice tolerance. The chef here did not disappoint 👏 . I am at a loss for words when it comes to truly describing how delicious my wings were. I actually had to ask for an extra side of sauce because I just couldn't get enough of it. I was truly un prepared when we randomly walked in and failed to shoot content for my blog haha. I will definitely return to get Instagram worthy photos and update my review soon. For the time being I will like to add the giant pretzel was delicious as well as their tacos. Although for my personal taste in drinks I didn't have much options since at that time a drink I wanted was not in stock I did sample the frosè which was also delicious. I definitely can't wait to return 10/10 recommend this place to anyone who like myself is looking for great flavorful spicy wings.

    For a brewery, the food is fantastic. We had the steak, and it was better than some steakhouses

  • 5/5 Paris R. 11 months ago on Google
    This stop was just for their fantastic Red Ale, Get Busy Living. The menu is short, but pretty good. Reservations are accepted and suggested for Friday and Saturday evenings.

  • 5/5 Benjamin P. 11 months ago on Google
    I've been down to HBC a few times and it never seems to disappoint. The service team works flawlessly whether you're getting Steven, Nika, Jeff, or Veronica it's never a long wait. The beer is fresh and the location is great. Chef Aaron's take on food gives a unique twist. Whether you're having New American, Asian Fusion, or CalMex, you leave this place with your palate melting and an insatiable thirst. I could easily see HBC becoming my local joint. Thank you for the experience

    Danny begins the bar was awesome and full of energy! We love the beers and the vegan tacos were amazing! Great hot sauces too!

  • 5/5 Saba N. 4 years ago on Google
    My wife and I came here to discover the local micro brewery in the area. We absolutely loved the different styles of beers, especially the Wakey Wakey (Hint of coffee) and the Belle plage (peach). The low key and chill environment was very appealing to us for our vacation. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. We’ll definitely come back on our next trip to hermosa beach!

  • 5/5 Tim F. 6 years ago on Google
    Opening night is Jan 31st, but tonight (the 17th) they started pouring beer and serving food. I had an amazing sample of IPAs and an equally amazing dark Smokey lager. All the beers we tried for extremely tasty and the service was amazing. I spoke to what I believe are three partners: Amy, Jorge, and Dave. All very friendly and I look forward to coming here often and sampling the food as well.

    I'm very impressed by the beers. Happy 1st birthday - I suspect there will be many more to come.

  • 5/5 Kevin 4 years ago on Google
    Korean wings and sweet potato fries were amazing! Had a beer flight and every beer we tried was also great! Sat at the bar and was able to speak with the owner, who was very nice and explained everything to us. Favorite beers was the Das Hoff, Everyday Sunshine, and El Jefe.

    Food and beer...near the beach..What more can you ask for..

  • 2/5 Jesusita P. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered tacos and it took over an hour. Finished our drinks and waited and waited. Granted it was trivia night and that may have impacted things, but this is the worst I’ve ever had to wait for food. Had to put more money in the parking meter just so I could wait for them to finish the food so I could take it to-go. Only reason it’s getting 2 stars instead of one is because of the girl at the front that seemed to be trying to keep things together while waiting for the kitchen staff to get their s*** together. Don’t offer food items if you can’t produce them in an efficient manner!

  • 5/5 Mark S. 5 years ago on Google
    Cool scene. Jorge and Dave are great hosts and you can’t beat the location or the beer!

    Great beer. Great food. Great people. Open for take-out. The entire menu, including all of the beers, is available to go. If you were a customer before stay-at-home, do us all and favor and drop by and pick up your favorites. We want to keep them around a good long while.
