Newport Beach Brewing

August 9, 2008
Stopped by on a Sat. afternoon. Nice cozy little brewpub, had about seven beers on tap, a couple that weren’t even listed on ratebeer. Sat at the bar, bartender was very attentive, kept the beers full and took my food order very quickly. Had the beer battered chicken tenders, fantastic, very good beer as well. Nice place.

OC post SAF tour: A brewpub and sportsbar. The smaller beers were just average but the IPA, Dopplebock and a new BA Bourbon Stout (Elmer’s Reserve) were very tasty. The guest beer list looked very good as well. We had two appetizers and they hit the spot. The service was prompt and friendly. Parking was not that bad even with the Sunday football crowd. I would come back here for sure if in the area.

We went there on a Saturday night. The service was great and the food was very good. The beers ranged from Very Good (Impy Stout) to piss poor (Blonde). I’d go back.

Went on a Wednesday “buy a pizza and get a $6 pitcher” night and it was quite busy outside on the patio. The might have been a little understaffed, service was a little slow. Patio had heaters, and you could see the flat screen TV’s if you were faced in the right direction. Tried the ESB and Scotch ale enjoyed them both. They always have one or two guest beers on tap. Pizza was little better than average. Fun place and pretty fun scene.

Definitely a beach attitude in this place. Beers run from crap to decent with a good seasonal every now and then. Food is okay. Very beautiful women in here on the weekends.

Went in the afternoon, and found an older crowd, plus families. They make a couple of good beers, and the burrito I had was decent (and enormous).

A 20 Something crowd with a decent seletion of beers. The John Wayne Imperial is a 2 time GABF medal winner. The only other thing worth drinking is the IPA. Bartenders couldn't give a fuck about you and the tasters were $9 for 7 beers.
