I visited The Bruery in Orange County California two months ago. I was VERY impressed with the facilities... In fact I was so impressed, that I put off writing a review for fear that I would come off as a love-struck super fan. People might read my critique of their bar, and their beers and think that I had accepted a bribe. I can’t have people questioning my integrity I though, and so I didn’t write a review.
As time passes, memories fade, and eventually I realized that I couldn’t pinpoint exactly why I was so love-struck by my trip to the Bruery. Upon that realization, I promptly cracked open the White Oak Ale that had been sitting patiently in the back of my fridge for weeks. As I sipped and savored the robust, creamy ale I instantly remembered why I had enjoyed my trip to the Bruery so much the previous month... Re-inspired I thought again about what I would want to say in a review, and again I hesitated. I couldn’t gush about how the Bruery sets out samples of organic hop pellets, lavender, and barley on their bar so that you can feel and smell the ingredients pre-production as you tasting the final product. I couldn’t wax on about the fact that the tasting room is located in the brewery, or about how you can hang your coat on a bourbon barrel while you enjoy award winning beers. If I wrote a review about how all of the employees were friendly, engaging, and inspiring, readers would think I’d accepted a job as their new PR rep and might stop taking my reviews seriously, wouldn’t they?
Well, if thats the case, than so be it.!
Quite simply, if you are in Southern California, you need to look this place up--The beers, the people, and the venue* are all top notch!
As I told the bartender, this is my happy place!
-Prost!

*Go soon--the word on the street is that late this spring the tasting room will be moving from the brewery to an external location. Sure the beer will still be delicious, but it won’t taste quite as delicious as we you could drink it 20 feet away from where it was made!
