This was pretty fun place to be for beer tasting! Great beer and friendly staff. We went on a weekend afternoon and it was pretty packed. We did a beer flight of six and enjoyed it very much. They also have root beer and cream soda so we tried root beer, too. I think they only have dried pretzels as a part of their menu but they do have food truck come if you want something a little bit more. Well, we drove over to sushi place afterwards instead but I guess if you wanted to spend more time there, food truck works better. read more

Awesome beers, friendly staff and fun games! Found this place in January because of a great Groupon offer and really enjoyed it so have been back a couple times since and looking forward to another visit soon. They have reopened on the weekends, but reservations are needed and food must be purchased from the food truck on-site since COVID-19 requirements are being followed. read more

I love this place. I love that I live so close to this place. Dog friendly. Lots of seating. Chill vibes. Cute bar top lighting. I went in on Easter and had amazing service! I went today and had less than lackluckster service. I asked the bartender what was good and he literally had nothing to say. The nice guy sitting at the bar was cooler. Also the music was too loud....in my opinion I guess... Still gets 5 stars read more

Went for the first time last night. Amazing place! Staff was incredibly friendly, informed & informative. The brews were done in an old world, "real beer" style. Not the fizzy yellow brews of some breweries or the over hopped, taste bud killing beers of others. I found the 5 beers I tried to be balanced, easily approachable & very enjoyable. Every one has different taste & I respect that but people who can't understand how a brewery could run out of small batch brews on opening weekend, & can't taste the depth of subtle flavor should stay away & go drink some hop bomb. If you lean toward darker brews, get the stout on nitro. For a well balanced beer you can drink again and again, try the Cardinal Sin. Cheers all! read more

Oh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh The groupon for the place was well worth it! (2x taster flights + 1 growler + fill that growler). Absolution is great; I thoroughly enjoy the character they carved out for themselves here in South Bay. You might find one or two similarities, mayhaps to Smog City, (in terms of beer), but really, they have their own vibe. Be sure to check them out and give them a taste! They got so popular that they run out of beer sometimes :( read more

Very unassuming location. And yes, it's located in the Industrial park. Awesome use of the warehouse. Upon entering you are struck with the high ceilings and the big logo emblazoned on the wall. There are a couple of tvs and plenty of standing and sitting spaces, either chairs or lovely pews. Tried the following: - Pergatory (Heifeweizen) - Nice and light - Lil Angel - season ipa. This is very hoppy. Expect bitterness Do try their root beer as well. It's very yum. Next time will definitely have to try the cream soda as well. I guess by law, establishments that serves alcohol must serve some noms. So expect a food truck to be on hand. Unfortunately the site doesn't show which food truck is out there. I will definitely be back. read more

Absolution one of the now several micro breweries in Torrance. It is in a warehouse and has a bar, a couple of long tables, and some booths. The atmosphere is low key. The beer selections varies. The selections will usually have some protestant themed name like, "The Convert," but others may be "Test Batch #3. Get a taster if you are unsure. They allow outside food and usually have a food truck or catering set up outside. The staff is nice and will help with your beer selection. It is worth checking out. read more

The environment when you walk in is so gastropub like. I love it and a flight of 6 beers is like $8. Not too bad! I like how organized everything is, even the bathroom. Five stars for the bathroom display and cleanliness. This really shows how clean this place is overall, good job dudes! I will definitely be returning to this hidden gem! read more

Great local brewery in Torrance. I've been here twice now and can say the beer and service has been consistently very good. The limited release pumpkin spice ale is pretty awesome. Tastes like a churro! And who doesn't like churros, right? Flight (tasters) are offered and are given Vegas style chips to redeem your next tester. Unlike Vegas, you'll win with every chip here at Absolution! read more

Out of our South Bay beer crawl, I think Absolution was my favorite: 1) Plenty of seating area for a large group (if you can snag it). We had a group of 8. 2) Great lighter beer choices for those of us who prefer something on the sweeter side (I tried their peach and strawberry ale) 3) Root beer and Cream soda on tap for our DD!!! This was the only place out of 5 we went to that night that had something for our DD and he really liked their cream soda (or just having an option to sip on something with us). And only $2! Prices were super reasonable ($2 for 4oz, $6 for 12 oz plus a smattering of other options for a flight). Super generous with the pours and allowing us to pre-taste. Great atmosphere and they serve food also! It was a little hard to find (industrial area surrounded with other business) but it was definitely pretty cool to find a hidden nook for drinking in the area. Plenty of easy parking on the weekend! read more

Beautiful space with nice, high ceilings. It feels very spacious. As for the service, Steve helped us and he's a friendly and funny dude. I have been back a few more times but no Steve :-( was he busy in San Diego? I like that they have a good selection of beer, and they offer root beer and cream soda for the non-beer drinking friends. Just hit up Steve, the 'mixlogist', for a beer & rootbeer or beer & cream soda 'cocktail' the 2 beers that stood out for me are the strawberry infused Belgian (Trespasser) - fragrant strawberry smell, and the Wicked. you don't expect an IPA to pack a 9.6% to be 'easy' drinking . lt didn't taste hoppy even with the high IBU --so it's probably not hoppy enough for hopheads. Fallen Archangel was available during my second visit, the beer was a-ok but also not hoppy. just an irrevelant note: the ladies restroom is cutely decorated. there is a barrel with metal cans on top. inside one of the cans, it is stocked with lady 'supplies' - you wouldn't expect that out of a brewery, but it's thoughtful. it'd be nice if Absolution can offer some snacks like pretzels, popcorn..etc; the trucks food selections have been lackluster the last 2 times I went. read more

After many trips to Absolution, we still enjoy each beer they offer, and are hands down the best all around brewery around. From the lightest of brews to the darkest, there is always something nrw, as well as something for every taste. The journey would NEVER be the same or as pleasurable without Scot, handling each offering with class and knowledge of the offerings at each step. As long as SCOT'S poring we have a place to go. Thank you read more

Ambience was ok, a cool place to hangout with frieds...they have great IPAs...we tried 2 flights of bbn all the IPAs and their strongest beer and another flight of the mix lager, nitro, ales and red ales and we liked the IPAs better... not a fan of the nitro tho. Service was nice and attentive. read more

My friend was throwing her husband a birthday party here and I just wanted to say that the staff here are super nice, the beers are all tasty, and the environment is chill and friendly. They have a food truck outside (they were serving burgers and waffle fries when we went), and there is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. For people who are more Covid cautious, the patrons were all very respectful with masking when necessary, the staff were all masked, they checked our vaccination cards and ID when we checked in. There's also plenty of ventilation inside and again, plenty of outdoor seating. Lots of parking in the area as well. Definitely recommend if you just need a casual day or night out for a beer and food with friends. read more

My husband had already been here many times so now it was my turn. Located in a very nice business park with plenty of parking. Very important!! Nice and open with lots of light which is lacking in other breweries in the area. Cool interior with fun religious theme through out- the benchs are church pews! Also lots of stand up bar area so it can accommodate lots of people. Because I am a Hop Head, I started with 4 tasters of their various IPA's. Fun religious thematic carried through in their beers, so I tasted Lil Angel, Crimson, Fallen Angel and The Wicked. My favorite was Fallen Angel. I do think they need more time to really develop their beers so they have more diverse tastes - the IPA's did all taste similar. All the help and owners at the brewery are very friendly and you can tell they love what they are doing! Will definitely be back soon. read more

My new beer fav in the South Bay. Only open since 3/14 and already putting great Ales, IPAs and more (they're even doing a root beer and a cream soda, so grab a growler for your kids!). A nice space, but I bet they'll outgrow it soon. read more

Absolution Brewing Company - Do you deserve it? - Breweries Near Me - Torrance, California

Definitely one of the better breweries in the South Bay. Tap Room is open and well laid out. The service is great.....we were both approached by the owner and the brew master while just chilling out and we're offered free snacks a couple of times. I tried the Flight of Six and was given generous pours on each flight. Favorite was probably the Angels Demise IPA. This a great local brewery with friendly staff and good brew. read more

They have the Best Michi I ever had at a brewery and they have root beer on tap that my girls LOVE!!!

New favorite South Bay brewery! Friendly staff, cool spot, great beers. The coconut porter & the strawberry beers were my favorite. Large selection to choose from too. Last night was our first time there, and it definitely won't be the last! Thanks for the hospitality, Absolution :) read more

We celebrated my husband's 40th birthday at Absolution a couple of weeks ago. Nigel and his whole team were super helpful and friendly. I visited almost a dozen different breweries and I'm so glad I went with Absolution. We rented the game room and were able to bring our own food and desserts in. The little kids (ages 3-8) were entertained for HOURS with the in-house games. Every guest loved the venue, staff, and beers. We will 100% be back for other celebrations or just weekends with our son. There are food trucks as well, it would be a great place for families to meet up with their kiddos for a safe space to have a drink and catch up while their kids are entertained. Thanks to everyone Absolution for making our event a success! read more

Good beer and friendly staff and best of all, it's a warehouse that's been converted into a bar right by work. I got a cold glass of their Tribulation and it was pretty good for 5 bucks. p.s. They don't sell food as I don't think they have the license for it but they have a different food truck here every week. When we went for their grand opening, they hired Creative Eats and we ordered some of their sweet potato fries to go with our beers. http://www.yelp.com/biz_user_photos/t9lMsGTZvUA8WzI__ByPcA/upload?upload_finished=1&successful%5B%5D=tXvy03H7VLKJjg-ek9Kusg read more

Absolution Brewing Company - Tribulation with sweet potato fries from Creative Eats - Breweries Near Me - Torrance, California

With soooo many breweries popping up in the South Bay, there's a lot of good options to choose from. Absolution is one of the best choices. Its another one of the garage-door in an industrial park tap room, Absolution is "religion" themed with pews for seating and beer names like "Cardinal Sin", "Fallen Archangel", and "Penance". Instead of typical flights they give you poker chips to cash in for your taster which is a smarter option to me. As a craft beer lover who is a fan of all things NOT IPA, I really wasn't disappointed by any of the beers I tried (which was 10-12 since I also tried everything my boyfriend got too). The Holy Cow milk stout was a favorite. If you're looking for something fun to do in the Torrance area, I definitely recommend checking out any of the number of breweries all in close range but Absolution should be one of the stops for sure! read more

I'm not really a beer fan but the beers I sampled were very good. I tried the Rest in Peach and Strawberry Saison both had mild fruit taste without the bitter beer aftertaste. I felt a rocker/biker vibe atmosphere by the décor and music playing but definitely would come again to try their other craft beers. When you come their entrance is at the side of the building where deliveries are made not the front door. I know this microbrewery is one of many popping up in the South Bay industrial area. Since this is my first visit, it has given me an incentive to try the other breweries in the area. read more

This place truly is a hidden gem! Great beers (I suggest the 405!), large open seating area, and friendly staff! They even have games to play while drinking your brews if watching sports on their large projector screen isn't your thing! Overall, this made for a great date night and we definitely will be back!! Tip for new patrons: the entrance is around the back, so don't try to use the front door! read more

Nice little Brewery , Gabriel our server was well knowledgeable at what he sells. The Brewery is is smaller than most but nice . The selection is limited but they make great beers. The reason for minus a star , we were expecting to eat something​ and found out they don't serve Food on Sundays . read more

This place is awesome. They always have a great selection of beers and I especially like that they always have a dark beer in their selection. Some places discriminate against the dark beers :( This place also has a game room with jenga, 4 dart boards, a shuffle board and foosball table. You can also bring your dogs so that's a plus. My boyfriend and I have been here several times and continue to come back. read more

First time here!!!! Kinda hidden but once you find it it's awesome. It's a great place to hangout it's kid and dog friendly. Sometimes they have live music. Even a game room for the kids to hangout. read more

This place was such a fun night out! It was soo chill and not pretentious. Great prices, great beers. We got the 6 beer flight which I have to say, ended up being more beer than we expected to get. If you only want to order one beer though, order "The Wicked". Aside from being 10% alcohol, it is also infused with a variety of different flavors that blended together very well. It's a fun, family friendly, dog friendly atmosphere. They have game room where both kids and adults are welcome to play darts, foosball, board games and other games. Definitely worth trying out. read more

Got the VIP room for our fantasy football draft! Great room very spacious!

Great smaller brewery in the South Bay and probably the ONLY one with a mug club! Go to the IE and it seems like everyone has a mug club, come out west and pinkies up. The staff is always welcoming. Everyone from the bottom on up to the top make you feel welcomed. I love their tap list, generous pours and Groupon deals. Especially some of their Stouts, Hazys and Sours. They have several screens and a projector for watching the game or playing on the NES and SNES video game systems! They have a shuffleboard in the back among other games and board games. Food vendors change daily and free parking. My personal favorites are Nut Guilty and Floc-ness Monster. Take home a crowler of Floc'ing A and make a beer slushie ;P read more

What's not to like! Plenty of beer selection, knowledgeable staff and pours as small as 4oz which can be ordered individually or in discounted flights! Oh and the flights can be selected/poured 1/2/3/4 at a time so they don't go flat! And when we went they had a taco vendor right there with inside access for some solid food! read more

Absolution is one of our local breweries in Torrance. It offers a wide variety of beers with pretty much any type you'd be looking for. You can taste or sample any one of them. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and incredibly helpful in selecting your beer. Will was our guy today and was so amazingly helpful and very well versed in the brew here at Absolution. They have outside food vendors come in each day. Today they're offering wood-fired pizza's and they all look great! There's also a game room with board games and darts... and even corn hole at the front of the brewery. Absolution is located in an industrial part or Torrance and is a hidden gem. I'll be back FOR SURE! So happy to have found Absolution. read more

I did like Absolution, good atmosphere, and the owners were warm and inviting. However the system for getting the beer is a little flawed. The bar rail fills up and makes it really difficult to get service. They need a side service station so the people sitting at the tables can get access. They really need to take on the mentality of Monkish and Dudes with the wooden coin process where you get one tasting and wooden coins to return to the bar at your convenience for your next tasting rather than getting six beers at once and have them get warm and flat before you taste them. It would also highlight their product better. Lastly the beers were all good, nothing really stood out and I had more than half of them. Granted they are very new, they opened their tasting room in March 2014, so hopefully time will rectify this. read more
