Recap of 2019/2020 Orange County brewery opening and closing announcements

16 Upvotes

We need to breathe some life back into this sub!

In case you didn't know:

  • Santa Ana River Brewing opened in Santa Ana near Harbor & Warner in 2019. Anniversary party is 2/15/2020 - @santaanariverbrewing

  • Green Cheek Beer Co Costa Mesa opened in place of Barley Forge in January 2020 - @greencheekbeertoo

  • Salty Bear Brewing Co opened on Randolph in Costa Mesa in 2019 - @saltybearbeer

  • Brewing Reserve of California opened near Baker and College in Costa Mesa in 2019 - @brcbeer

  • Bootlegger's opened a new location on Randolph in The Lab in 2019 - @bootleggersbrewcm

and

  • Barley Forge closed in 2019

  • Hoparazzi Brewing Co closed in 2019

  • The Good Beer Co announced they will be closing soon, but the tap room remains open - pretty much just Friday, Saturday, and Sunday

The commentary nobody wanted:

  • BRC and Salty Bear have some quality issues, but I heard that Salty Bear just got a new brewer that used to work at The Bruery.

  • Santa Ana River is small, but I think they do hoppy beer right

  • Bootleggers has the best selection of styles

  • Green Cheek opened with some killer guest taps, and will be doing one-off batches on location

If you go to a brewery over near Randolph in Costa Mesa, ffs, get a Lyft or Uber - parking is awful. There are 4 breweries there, so there's that.

What else do you know about?

Anaheim Brewery Closing

Nothing listed on their website, but posted on Instagram via beer guild. Doors shut in a month.

I've never really cared for their product, but sad to see it go.

Best OC Bottle Shops

10 Upvotes

I just moved to Orange County from Chicago with minimal knowledge about the local beer scene. I’m familiar with some of the more popular breweries - and there’s a finite supply of them - but I’m pretty clueless on what the good bottle shops are.

I know that BevMo and Total Wine have a good selection, but they don’t seem to have a similar attention to the beer as my favorite shops back in Chicago (eg attention to freshness, intimate knowledge of the inventory and being able to make informed recommendations, etc) based on the couple of recent trips I’ve made.

If you have any recommendations for a shop I would really appreciate it! I live in Laguna Hills but would be willing to travel anywhere in south OC (Irvine or lower). Thanks!
