    This brewery is tucked in the Rodeo 39 Food Hall. Came here on Saturday afternoon before dinner and were able to find seats at the bar. We shared a flight since we couldn't decide what to try. My bf's favorite was Lucky Fin which was a Japanese rice lager (had some hints of sake flavor) and mine was Ink'd which had some chocolate notes.

    You can get your booze and then go sit somewhere else with in the food court. The set up is kind of strange. It's like you have a giant warehouse with a bar in the middle of it; surrounded by small kiosks that sell very specific food.

    I came here on a Sunday afternoon, it's in an open food court with many different food options. They served beers and cocktails. I had some of their cocktails. My bartender was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. There was plenty of seating on the bar top. Will be back again. It was 10 mins from my house.

    Crafting their beer onsite, like, right behind the bar, Bearded Tang Brewing is the spot to hit up at Rodeo 39. THE DRINKS | Beers, wines, ciders, and seltzers. I drunk... - Carlos Danger | Award winning in the American Cream Ale category at the Great American Beer Festival 2022, this beer is refreshingly crisp with a slight yeasty finish. THE BEARDED TANG BREWING FEELS | Modern vibes; it's like your friendly neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name. THE PARKING SITUATION | Free parking outside of the food hall. No issues finding an open spot on a weekday, but weekends could be a different story. WOULD I COME BACK? | Yep, love the exceptionally long bar for everyone to hang out at and interested in trying out other beers.

    The Original Hazy (German Hefeweizen) and Vlad the Barista (Imperial Coffee Stout), yummy

    I like Bearded Tang Brewing. I think I tried The Original Hazy (German Hefeweizen) and Vlad the Barista (Imperial Coffee Stout), they were delicious. They have a big selection of beers to choose from on draught so you'll find something you like here. They also have wine, cider and seltzer selections. They even have a hard seltzer slushy. They are located at Rodeo39 Public Market, a newer food and shopping hall!  I've come here many times since they opened almost three years ago but this was my first time trying the brewery. They have a free parking lot.  This plaza is pretty busy any time of the day so you might have to drive around to find parking.  I just park a little further out. Service is friendly. The brewery has some of their own seating but there is also a lot of open seating at the market/food hall, inside and outside. I like the casual, yet modern vibes. Price point is fair.

    The brewery is in a food court that has lots of options. There is lots of parking but it was so busy that a spot was tough to find. The beers: Kristal Weizen German Hefeweizen 2/5 (filtered but shouldn't be) The OG Hazy Hefeweizen 4/5 Rugger Bugger Irish Red 3.5/5 Tangy- Acai Blueberry sour 4/5

    STEPH JUDGEMENT: Good brews, friendly staff I've been here twice now and have to say that I'm a fan. Both were occasions when I had some time to kill waiting for people and I've found it to be a very pleasant spot to grab a brew and chill out. They have a nice selection of easy-to-drink selections and both times I ended up ordering hazy beers that were quite delicious. The staff have been friendly and helpful, answering questions, providing tasters, and keeping the counters neat and tidy. They also have a large screen tv playing sports, if that's your thing. I'm sure I'll be back again before too long.

    This Brewery is located inside of Rodeo 39 Public Market closer to the back of the market. Even if you don't drink Beer, there are other good options! They have Wines, Ciders, and Seltzers. I also saw 3 Slushie drinks. This last time I got a Prickly Paradise which is a Prickly Pear Cider. It is a little sweet and I really enjoyed it! I love the fish logo, a Tang that is bearded (as is in the name) with a pipe in its' mouth! It is just so cute! They are on the Beer Tap Pulls... all lined up in a row! Outside the rear of the market is an area with some games. You can see Bearded Tang inside to see about renting the equipment. They have lots of seating at their bar counter. If you don't want to sit there, you can take your drink anywhere on the premises of the market. I would like to try one of their slushies next visit!

    The service was good. They're seating everywhere where you can have a beer and eat your food there from the other vendors. They only accept card though no cash. The menu shows which beers are "award winning" so it's good to know to try out different ones

    Love a bearded fish.

    I came by for their Oktoberfest celebrations. Decided on a flight and I went ahead and said PROST to their Oktoberfest special beers! Bartenders are super quick, nice and polite, great open seating and friendly environment makes this place a great hang spot for a drink.

    Froze and blue raspberry lemonade
    Alex J.

    I'm really hoping the beer here is better than the slushees because they were horrendous. I really wanted to get a beer but when I saw the slushees, especially it being such a hot and humid day, I figured why not try something different and hopefully unique or tasty enough to recommend this place. Man was I wrong. I ordered the froze and blue raspberry lemonade slushees, which came to about $22. The rose was gross. So bitter, dry, and absolutely no sweetness like a typical rose would have. The blue raspberry lemonade on the other hand was way too sweet and had no alcohol flavor. It seems like there was no balance between the two, one being way too strong and bitter, while the other was way too sweet and little alcohol.

    The part of the menu that's not the ever-changing beer list. (Some of the beers might change, but I wanted to show the flight pricing.)

    Gosh tang, that was a fun night. Bearded Tang Brewing is a relatively new brewery that's located inside the Rodeo 39 Public Market. It's been on my radar because it's close to my base of operations during my visits to Orange County, and when I learned that they'd managed to win a gold medal at the 2021 Great American Beer Festival after just a year of operation, I grew even more interested in visiting them despite their lack of notoriety compared to some of the older SoCal craft breweries. I came in and immediately checked the paper menus, finding to my delight that they'll let you build your own flight of beers, with any four of their brews for $12 (including the good stuff). I ordered a few flights, and while I won't go into detail about everything, lest this review turn into a novella, I enjoyed most if not all of the beers and found that almost none contained off-flavors, aside from maybe the pale ale. I do want to mention that none of what I had was actually an IPA! They only have a couple on draft currently, and I didn't quite make it down the menu that far. A lot of lagers and various less-hoppy fare are available compared to the ubiquitous. I do like IPAs, but I give Bearded Tang a lot of credit for their variety. The one beer which I will describe was my last memory of the night (no, I didn't drink _that_ much), and it was the medal-winner. Vlad the Impaler is this beer, and they specifically won the category of Coffee Stout or Porter. There's so much rich coffee flavor in this thing, and even though it felt a tad sweet to start, I grew more accustomed (or maybe less full from dinner) as I worked through the beer. Sometimes I don't really vibe with acclaimed beers, but this one was magical and you've gotta try it if you're a fan of coffee. They may not be Bottle Logic (although they also have a hexagonal logo) or another renowned brewery, but you should definitely stop by Bearded Tang Brewing if you're in the immediate area and want craft beer. Order a flight if you're into that kind of thing. You can sit at the bar or take the beer around Rodeo 39.

    Backstory: For inexplainable reasons i do enjoy a good girthy bratwurst on many an occasion…read more especially the first bite when it explodes juicily in your mouth is so yum. So my excoworker whose german brings me and another coworker here for a more authentic experience, there was this i guess more hipster bratwurst place in LB we tried previously and i was ok with it but my broworkers brats were burnt and so here we are. In a nutshell:Ok i think i came here before maybe some event but i guess when a german brings you in and does the ordering it's different? Brats were amazing, except it was a platter of like 4 variations and they were precut, so no girthy enjoyment tonight and also i didnt know which ones were which flavor, they all look the same you have a lighter brat a darker brat and a redder brat i couldnt really tell to be honest. The pretzel was very interesting, thin crisp exterior and inside was fluffy soft, twas delicious considering how plain it looked, Wetzels/Annes would be a thick dense oily comparison. Beer cheese is extra but delicious, imagine a watery dip cheese. The ooooonly drawback was the mustard, it was kinda basic one flavor yellow mustard and according to my german friend slash excoworker she was expecting better mustards and a variety of mustards to top. Liquids:ok the beers are 500cc 1000cc and a pitcher. the 5 and 10 are a pint mug id expect at a brewery and a big fat tall apparently normal for germans sized mug thats bigger than my face. me n my bro we both do not carry the drinking genes so neither of us will walk away if we take a L ourselves, but the 3 of us wish to have a splendid jolly time havent seen each other in some time and the beer list is quite respectable. Fransiskaner Weissbeer was a mandatory vote for me, I had it like once when i was a young college dude and ive always been looking for it again since, the normal Fransiskaner Hefeweizen can be found here regularly but the dark version ive not seen in so long. If u like non-bitter smooth flavorful beer with a touch of banana hint on the end, Weissbeer you should try. $10 for a pint $16 for the oversized mug liter. Paulaner Hefeweizen was lighter flavor more orangey, still very pleasant. We took a Liter of both and split em 3 ways, the giant mugs are not possible to pour into smaller mugs without making a mess, unfortunately theyre not allowed to just pre split a 1L into 2 500ml mugs make it easier for us to split, something about the owner watching the dispensing okaaay. Service: uses the run forest run method which im a fan of. flip the painted wood block to red up for dont bother us and green for request service. Eliminates the untimely interruptions. Though towards the end of the night i had to use the bathroom and when i came back theyd cleared away my unfinished beer, rude. Pricey brats (1 brat plate is $15). Schnitzel $24 looks massive but its pounded paper thin and heavily breaded. Copious serving sizes of beer. Criminally limited to 1 type of mustard (i dont care, mustard isnt a high priority for me, but my coworker was so bothered) Parking has 2 lots on either side of the german "village" kinda small spots and tight angles but very plentiful. Also theres a mini market on the north end of the restaurant. alot of rather expensively priced small items.

    I cant express how much I enjoyed my experience here!!!…read more From the start the service was so friendly, at the time we got to pick our own seating since it wasnt too busy- we opted for the patio seats and it was a great vibe. We started off with some drinks, the Bex Wine was sweet, not too dry, and super refreshing! My partner got the Erdinger beer and it was light and citrusy! We of course had to get their pretzel which was HUGE!!! I thought we wouldnt be able to finish it but it was too good not to... the beer cheese, mustard and spread were all complimented well with the hot, crisp and buttery pretzel. We also got a side of fries, super crispy and battered- my fave! My partner got the polish sausage, stacked with sauerkraut, peppers, and onion!! Super snappy sausage and very generous portions. Nonetheless, I love how you can just flip a sign to indicate when you need service- super convenient. I can see myself going back here to try their other items!!

    Thai nakorn use to be my go too spot for Thai food for the longest time, over the past few years…read moreIve stop coming due to the quality and taste. I decided to give thai nakorn another chance. I came on a Monday during lunch at opening time. i Saw that they have updated their menu as well as having a happy hour menu. I opted for the regular entree, I was deciding between the pad thai and street style pad thai, the waitress told me the pad thai was more like ketchup while the street style pad thai was more traditional with tamarind sauce, and has more of a tangy sauce. I opted for the street style pad thai with chicken n shrimp. The street style pad thai portion size was good, lots of tofu and good amount of chicken and 2 pieces of shrimp. It was saucy and wasn't dry, the pad thai flavor was definitely on the tangy side, personally preference I prefer my pad thai to be a bit more sweet, but still overall a solid Pad thai 4/5. I would want to come back and try the regular pad thai or even the happy hour menu during lunch time.

    Let me start off with... everyone was friendly; BUT there are things that needs to be improved…read more Our server lady was nice and smiley, very inviting.... But her service wasn't attentive.... I had to flag her down multiple times and for a long time and the other server noticed and came to take over for her multiple times.. Busser dude was more attentive than my server, too attentive, BUT cmon ... we're still eating and he keeps trying to take our plates to clear it... doesn't wait till we're done he comes every time an entree plate is done but our plates would still be full... so I had to keep telling him we're not done.. I dont want your unsanitized hands touching my plate.. I know you're doing your job, but a little patience would be nice. This place has an open space in a big open lot; I used to come here time to time over the years but 10 year ago was way better and it was a hit. Came here to celebrate Mother's Day; the food was good at least, but nothing special. I've had better honestly. Came here excited because it's been a few years, we left with our taste pallet missing something. (I ordered a couple more entrees that weren't in my pics, the Thai Nakorn Fried Rice & Pad Thai) Food 3.5/5... Service 2.5/5.
