I miss when Manhattan Beach Brew Co. down the street actually made their own beer on their premises... Well, Culture doesn't make their beer here eeither (it's brewed down in Solana Beach) but at least it is an authentic brewery tasting room and it's quite a lot nicer than their Solana Beach location which is small and a little cavernous with a back patio compared to this location's light, airy and bright atmosphere. I like the all bright, colorful artwork for sale as well. I had their Hazy IPA and 2 of the Mosaic IPA's and they were great. The Mosaic, in particular, was top notch. Service was great and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

Nice brewery option here in MB - a lot of great beers to try for all tastes and likes. Nice open space inside to hang out and talk with friends and decide on where the next stop will be! Bartender was great and helped choose the next best beer to try. Found easiest and closest parking in the couple of lots directly behind the building vs trying to find one on the street (always worth a look first of course, else go past and behind and try the lot and street behind). read more

Went on a Saturday and the environment was great. No lines for ordering and the location is perfect to walk the beach or pier. My only wish is they had more hazy IPA's but I would still come back. read more

Culture Brewing - Hazy IPA - Breweries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

This is a great brewery to stop by if you're in the neighborhood. We've been many times and we will be back. Staff is friendly and it's quick to get your drinks. It's a cool tasting room, with one of the walls pretty much entirely opening up to the sidewalk, so it feels very open and relaxed. Pretty much all of their beers are pretty good. Last time our group got the POG Hazy IPA, a sour gose, and a brown ale. They were all really good. read more

Such a perfect spot to just chill and enjoy some drinks with friends :) Went for the first time and was indecisive on what to try, but shout out to Ray for the help and great suggestions! Definitely knew his stuff I'm def coming back! read more

Popped in after walking by and seeing that it was a lively crowd. You order at the counter and seat yourself. There's tons of art work along the walls. I'm not sure if they host any event but seemed like it does with the art. This visit, the screen was down so the menu wasn't available to view. They had it in the laptop at the counter which did make the line a little long. A large selection of beer on tap and loads to choose from. It has a cool beachy open air vibe with the bar top along the front looking out to the sidewalk. Perfect for people watching. It's pet friendly so the pooch babies can join. read more

Exec summary: Pull up a stool, have a pint and people watch Located on the "upper" part of the cool pier area, still lots of good people watching to be done. The beer is NOT brewed on site. Sounds like it's outsourced and brought in. The vibe is very chill - reggae playing The area has cool cars, tourists and locals. Good place to stop for a beer as you wander the area read more

Had a great time at Culture Brewing! They have a great selection of beers and plenty of seating. They are also dog friendly! Although they don't have food, they have a way where you can order on a QR code from Simmzey's and they bring their food right to you. My one caveat is the seats are uncomfortable. Only stools and the tables are barrels so they're at a weird height. Nice aesthetic I guess. read more

Love Culture Brewing Co. is such a vibe. Cozy space, relaxed atmosphere, and just the right spot to wind down after a long week. The energy is good, the people are friendly, and the drinks hit the spot. Whether you're flying solo or catching up with friends, it's an easy place to feel at home. Cheers to that! read more

Culture Brewing - Mosaic IPA & N/A Hoppy Seltzer (right to left) - Breweries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Light, breezy atmosphere. Friendly staff. They make their own hard seltzers. I recommend the mosaic IPA.

Came here on labor day and didn't have a problem getting a seat. The beers are delicious and I tried many of them. While there it started getting busy to the point no seats were available so we came at the right time. Most of the seating is at barrel tops with stools that don't have backs. Not the most comfortable seating but there are also a few bench tables as well. The barrel tables were a nice touch and some had games on them. read more

Of all the breweries along the Strand, this has been by far the best. Good food too. The West Coast and Black IPA's are fantastic. read more

Culture Brewing - Bar - Breweries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I was happy to find a Manhattan Beach brewery. This location has been open for 3 years. In addition to tasty beers, they allow local artists to show their pieces on the walls. No flights available but the my do sell 3 oz pours so you can try a few beers for a few bucks. I had the Cherry sour, pleasantly tart, the Mosaic West Coast IPA, good hops and a smooth finish. I also had the Kveik. This is a style that can be difficult to find. Kveik yeast produces some great flavors. A little funky and a little earthy. Great mouthfeel. You can order pizza from down the street and it's delivered right to your table. I will definitely be back for more. read more

This place gets it. Super chill vibes and right off the beach. So easy to grab a cold one after a sunny day or just kicking back with friends. The selection is from crisp IPAs to smooth stouts, there's something for every kind of beer lover (and then some). The space is open, airy, and filled with that effortless coastal cool energy. Staff is friendly and down-to-earth, always ready to give you a great rec if you're stuck between taps. Cheers! read more

Culture Brewing - Coastal Hazy IPA and La Cervesa - Breweries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

I have been this place so many times with met friends and my dog 13 months old. They have been so nice and understanding until today. Danny and rest of the crew were very rude and asked me to stop my dog barking when it it's already so loud from crowd and other people speaking so loud. I have very small dog and he bark time to time when he sees other dogs and he stops barking. He truly not a big deal and he never was up until these new employees who really thought that my dog was a problematic. Honestly such a friendly place for all dogs and these new employees all the sudden made a huge deal about my puppy barking was very and extremely weird. I have been this place many times and never met this type issue and it is unfortunately these employees were not dog friendly at all! Regardless please was ! read more

Culture Brewing is one of my favorite spots in Manhattan Beach. The space is bright, airy and open which is nice. Great selection of good beers (cans available to go, too.) Perfect spot for a time-out beer break, meet up spot with a friend or a casual spot for a group. Easy 5 star establishment, 5 stars. read more

I've made it a point to visit every brewery in the county. It's taken me almost 4 years but this brewery just seems to be under the radar because for a long time I didn't even know it was here. So as I'm down to only a handful of breweries left to visit, I finally came here. We were lucky enough to find street parking right in front of the brewery. The taproom was very nice and the bartender was friendly. I only got one beer, the oatmeal stout. I really wish they had a more diverse menu. It's mostly IPA's. I would've liked to see a sour, a hef, some lagers. But the beer I got was delicious. My wife's hazy tasted good too so I know they make good beer. I enjoyed the space, it had a good vibe to it. I would like to revisit and I hope that they diversify that menu. read more

Love the vibe of this place but it's small and often super hard to find a place to sit or stand. Beer is good and really appreciate that it's gluten reduced. The beertenders are friendly and always let you try before you buy. This is my go to place while I am waiting for my table to be ready at sugarfish. read more

I came here while waiting for SUGARFISH next door. I tried the slow pour Pilsner, La Cerveza, and the Blond Ale. The slow pour took about 10-15 minutes to pour so just be ready for that especially if it is busy. I personally really like light crisp beers so all three of these hit the spot. It was really busy so finding a seat on the inside was difficult but not impossible. On a slower day I could see the inside being more comfortable. I will for sure be back! read more

(If you're looking for a good brewery don't come here, go to Hopsaints in Torrance, trust me) So I was walking to lunch with a friend who was visiting from another city and saw this brewery, I asked my friend if he wanted to go in and have a beer, he said yes. When I walked in , there was a guy with his head down, texting on his phone... I said hello and he mumbled something and went back to looking at his phone, the place was completely empty so I wasn't sure if they were open or if we could come in and drink and I asked politely , "can we drink here?" And the guy responded with "uh yea ... it's a brewery..." (while chuckling and nodding his thick head) then proceeded to look down and lean on the counter to text ... I told my friend we're leaving, and said "this guy is fkn rude," and the thing never even looked up from his phone, he could care less that he's driving business ... I can't believe that the place was empty and that's who you have to greet your guest ... this was on a Tuesday at 12:43 pm on September 28th ... I was only curious because the guy didn't seem interested, obviously they serve beer there, but from his demeanor and empty place, I thought they were closed or not open yet. Living at the beach cities, a lot of businesses won't open till later in the day. The guy in question is a heavy set guy, prob 413 lbs, receding hairline, skin was the color of a corpse... no idea who he was texting, can't imagine anyone who would engage with that. Aside from his unprovoked rude response, the place does look modern and clean. anyway, I'm sure they could care less about my review, but for those of you looking for a good brewery in the south bay ... there are so many other breweries to try in the area. I recommend going to hopsaints in Torrance, they'll take really good care of you, the beer is amazing, the service is A+ and the food is always on point. Better than the shit service I got here :) read more

Located in downtown Manhattan Beach, this open room design bar was okay. The brew and can their own beer. Yes can the beer. It's empty around 4 and gets busier through the night. The crowd is mostly older Manhattanites (40+)... locals that can afford living there. It's right next to a public parking structure so easy to park and grab a drink and go (but don't drink and drive, be responsible please). They have mostly IPA's. I don't like IPA's. So my options were limited. The ones I tried were good enough to finish but not order again. read more

The bartender working was so sweet! Gave the dogs so many treats, recommended places to eat that we could get to go to bring back, and made great beer recommendations. Love that the pints were $1 on Mondays! This place is so cute, the merch is ON POINT, and the atmosphere was so chill. I can't wait to come back and explore some more! read more

I absolutely love this place. As someone who recently moved to the area, this spot has become my favorite place to go and socialize and meet new people. Their beer is fantastic; and they constantly have new, seasonal beers available. Also, if you don't drink, they provide amazing cold brew, root beer and bubbly water. The people that work here are so friendly and helpful. They take the time to chat with and get to know the regulars and locals. They really make Culture what is it: a community. read more

Best spot for a beer in MB. The service is amazing, super friendly. Very relaxed atmosphere.

Cute spot , tasty beers . The line can get backed up on busy weekend days but never too bad . You order at the bar and then find your own seat . Sometimes seating is hard to find as well , but people are friendly if you ask around for extra chairs or to share a "barrel " outside . They also have fridges with beer to purchase and merch to buy if that's your thing . Another cool thing is they are dog and baby friendly :) read more

Culture Brewing - It's beer o'clock somewhere 2021 - Breweries Near Me - Manhattan Beach, California

Solid beer! First off, your boi likes to throw them back, and only at the craft joints, feel me? There is a lot of competition out there with breweries, and as an enthusiast I tend to be on the harsher side with my rating. That was a translation for the non-Vatos. So, don't let this 3 star detour you! First off, beer was solid. They need to experiment a bit more, but I can see them getting better over time. They had a golden, dessert, stout. WOW. FIRE ,HOMIES. FUEGOOOO. The rest of the beer? Was alright. I'll be back, to see what they do tho. Forsure! Now, the location??? OMG... if you sit outside the view is AMAZING. Straight down to the ocean. BEAUTIFUL. The view inside? Blan AF! Now, I was already like skeptical about a brewery called "Culture" on the whitest part of town haha but man, the inside of this place needs some work. It's like minimal, but in a bad way. Just white walls. There are art pieces up, but it's all the same type by the same artist. Doesn't really add much. CULTURE, needs to mean something. I was just making a joke about the whitest part of town, I had to! Because in general the costal cities are loaded with culture (and money, and white ppl...). They already know an artist, clearly, so have them make a mural? Something that really represents who the brewery is would be nice. I look forward to seeing this branch of Culture really grow! read more

I've walked past Culture on many occasions, it always seems to be bustling with activity. This past Friday (12/03) we went to support local photo artist Anne Williams, great showing by the way. I like that Culture has an outside patio which fronts Manhattan Beach Boulevard, so there is good people watching. They also have a nice inside area. The highlights include good craft brews and even some hard ciders. Pricing is on the high side, but about what you would expect for small batch brews. They also don't serve food. But, you can get some Bitchin' Sauce to help curve those hunger pangs. Overall the place is clean and staffed by friendly folks. I also like that they do feature local art. This is a great spot to work into your night out. read more

I adore Culture. I totally do. So many beers, hard seltzer and other libations to choose from. Lovely indoor and outdoor seating areas. A friendly staff. Pretty darn good prices for great beers....but..... Obviously the parking in and around MB is for sh$t. Meters, structures, and sometimes lack of any parking makes life a little tougher for these awesome businesses. The other half-star knock is no food. Granted they have chips and dips for sale, but no apps, no real finger food and no menu. Okay okay. They don't have a kitchen they have beer casks. But the one time I called in an order to Pitfire and walked a pizza to my friends and I, they kinda gave me a bit of a hard time for eating it with their beer in their outdoor patio. Still. 4 solid stars and amazing beers. But food....a man needs to eat! read more

Culture Brewing is a cool new brewery near the Manhattan Beach Pier. It's a good sized spot with indoor and outdoor seating. There's a bunch of beers on tap.
