Great selection great tasting. Nice easy vibe inside. If the selection is overwhelming, the help will absolutely point you in the right direction. If your dog is super well behaved, they will be welcome. My dog couldn't handle it , but there were several friendly dogs hanging out read more

Just wanted to give a shout out to Hand Brewed!! I love coming in and having great beer and great food, in a place that feels like "they know your name " That's one reason why I became a mug club member! Keep it up Hand Brewed!!! read more

Because who doesn't like pizza and beer? My fave has to be the mango wheat beer with the syrup it's aaaamazing! Not too sweet and the flavors just explode in your mouth! Pizza is amazing we keep it simple when we come here just cheese for us but oh so delicious and made to order! I really enjoy the ambience here so easy going, cards and board games and even entertainment for the little ones with crayons and such! Grateful for family oriented places like these! Mommy and daddy can have quality time with the kiddos lol read more

Hand-Brewed Beer - Friends cheering - Breweries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

(Tasted 05/11/19 SA @ 11:00am): Hand-brewed beer sounded pretty fancy... and time consuming! Thanks to Groupon, I found myself at Hand-Brewed Beer in "the porn capital of the world"... Chatsworth! I couldn't recall this brand at any beer festivals and was excited to visit another local craft brewery relatively close to me. With the proliferation of craft breweries throughout Southern California, the competition was getting even tighter. Would I hand it to them for making delicious libations!?

SERVICE Greeted by a young gentleman behind the bar, they currently only had nine different beers, so I basically told him to line 'em up for me! Two full flights and an extra taster later, I tried them all as each time I had to go back to the bar. It was all pretty straightforward and didn't require any information about each beer. All was good! PARKING (FREE) Located in an industrial part of town, they shared an easy area with several other businesses. Otherwise, plenty of parking along the main drag of Variel Ave. - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An auto mechanic type building filled with short and tall communal tables along with a wavy bar and an easily legible menu board https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=2jJ3gsxivRrUsg8UUWud-A&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, a primary gaming room https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=A-TF3ZmUm0VuvV1Up8LsZQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw with plenty of board games https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=8RrWMexS5EN71HYJn4_SAA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw, pet-friendly, and an assortment of hung decorations. Plenty of natural light entered through the front garage and walking doors while an assortment of hanging decorative electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several widescreen TVs while 80s Top-40 music played in the background. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=qwo28GYpQGgE3lmWNsGc2Q&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Hand-Brewed Beer was a welcomed "find" as I enjoyed more than half of their offerings and would consider them again if I were in the area. It had a fun atmosphere, reasonable prices, and decent service. If you really liked their beer I recommended their "Mug Club" https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=SPHJaGuSJsHIxJcA9RHSQA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. As with most breweries, you were allowed to bring your own food or purchase from a nightly food truck in their parking lot, and definitely family and pet-friendly. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $32.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS read more

Love our local brewery! We frequented this brewery before the pandemic and I hadn't really been there since. We went on a Friday night. I had some school work to do so I brought my laptop. Thankfully they have Wi-Fi! I was able to chill, have a drink, and do my school work. To top it off they were playing the jams. I quite enjoyed it. I am looking forward to returning. read more

Good customer service. I was glad they had non-alcoholic options. I got the meatball sub (vegan meatballs) and non alcoholic Punk IPA. Delicious food and chill vibes. read more

Terrific local hang out for beer drinkers, casual and fun they even have arts and crafts, kind of activities on the calendar. Don't worry they are totally low-key and only at certain times. My friends would be mad at me for writing this review because they love to keep it just small but but what a treasure to find in our neighborhood who knew it was here! And I have to say pizza was really good. My friend totally recommended the jalapeño poppers maybe? But we didn't get that far. read more

What a hidden gem in Chatsworth! Came here on a Friday afternoon to celebrate a friend's birthday. When getting here make sure to keep an eye out for the signs that are guiding you to the brewery. They have street parking & a small parking lot in front of the brewery. They have seating outside and inside! This is one of the few breweries that I have been to that actually have food there. We ordered their pepperoni & cheese pizza, both were delicious! Definitely not pizza from a freezer and reheated. They have an ample beer selection & the bartender is more than happy to help you find the one best suited for you. We got the bridge to nowhere, their Irish stout and many more. My personal favorite was their hard tea, first time trying it and LOVED it! They have extremely friendly staff that are there to help you with anything you may need! Had too much fun that I totally forgot to take pictures. Guess you just have to check it out! read more

Great beer and great atmosphere! Almost feels like a hidden gem. Parking is easy and plenty. I really enjoyed this place. Sat with a brown Ale and watched the dodger game. There is 1 waitress outdoor who comes by often and is very friendly. There is space between different tables for social distancing. There is 1 all gender bathroom inside. Very clean. They have a few board games to choose from if you want to play games. At the moment they don't serve food, but you can bring or order postmate/Grubhub. We brought a pizza and enjoyed it with the beers. Definitely a great place to come relax and enjoy a good brewed beer. read more

A Chatsworth go to spot. Large beer menu, helpful staff who give great recommendations. Limited wine options, but they got a good one or two. Pizza is good. Salads are great for vegans - ask for no cheese or meat, they may even make a substitution for you. Pretzel is good, but kinda small for the cost. Friendly locally owned brewery with cool events, watch the game, trivia night on Wednesday, Mug Club for the regulars on Thursday... the outdoor patio is nice too. Closed on Mondays and not open late. read more

Great place. Great happy hour. The Irish Stout on Nitro is the real deal. So smooth and delicious. Big flavor without overwhelming. Didn't get the pizza but it looked great, too. The pretzel was quite good and decent sized. I'll come back for sure. read more

Hand-Brewed Beer - Signage - Breweries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I've been meaning to check this place out because I'm always curious to try locally crafted beers and this place was just screaming at me to try. The entrance for this place can be tricky to find. The street it's on is kinda like in a neighborhood setting, and they have their own little street just for them. Parking was easily available for a Friday night, which was very nice. The guy that was working the bar that night (4/29) was super friendly and helpful for any questions I had for any of the beers; he also made amazing recommendations. I of course, had to try the Deez Nuts brown ale, and it was very tasty and had a great body to it. I also really enjoyed all the IPAs that they had to offer. Their nitro stout however had a great flavor profile, but didn't have that heavy-body that's typically in stouts. It was VERY light. Other than that though, the place is awesome and definitely want to come back. They have pizza, which was typical pizza, merchandise that is fairly priced ($14 for a T-shirt, I think), and they have a plethora of board games if anyone just wants to kick it with friends here! read more

This is a great place for large groups. Came here with ~20 people. We were fortunate to have total reign over the outside. The pizzas are pretty large, 1 pizza/2 people is fine. The bar itself is understaffed as 1 man was taking orders while also pouring drinks and so it took a long long time for us all to order. The staff was very friendly (im sure in part due to the large patronage we provided). The pizza was great for bar pizza. After 5 PM the eggroll truck comes in, which charges $6 for one very large eggroll. The problem here is the eggrolls are so excellent that you want to try all of them. Seriously each one was better than the last. The carnitas fries are MASSIVE, so don't let the $15 price tag put you off. The beer was great as well. I think everyone found what they wanted. I see some criticism of the stouts and I cannot comment for I havent tried it read more

Best brewery in the valley! Their pizza is crazy delicious too. If you like spicy, definitely try the hot honey hand pizza.

So I have been lucky enough to have found this little gem of a brewery here in chatsworth because of an amazing group on deal! I have lived here in the Canoga Park area and have had to travel to far areas like Oxnard in order to enjoy a spot like this. First off, the beer that they offer is amazing. The two favorites that we chose to continue drinking were the "Deez nuts beer, lol love that name!!!! And the number 12 choice which had the highest alcohol content. Omg the taste and buzz from them were awesome and it's right in our neighborhood. They do sell little treats like beer nuts, corn nuts, and other minor options, but you can also bring your own food from outside or visit their food truck that is right outside next door to the brewery. The atmosphere was very chill and the bartender Chris made the experience even better by taking the time to greet us as first timers and then schooling us on the different beers that we received with the group on deal. Great customer service, plus we enjoyed seeing the youngest employee of all a sweet, mixed 3 month old pup that belonged to Chris. The nteraction between them made the visit even better! They also offer a yearly membership that offer perks. They seem to be very community friendly where they have nights like trivia night on Tuesday and happy hour. I am impressed with this establishment and felt very comfortable and welcomed. They also show love towards military personnel! read more

What's not to like? Bring your own food or have it delivered, check Small area for kids to hang out and/or tv for them to watch, check Enjoy good beer, CHECK! There were about 10 beers to choose from. I drank 3 different ones and enjoyed them all (honey hand, war eagle and war eagle infused w jalapeño/pineapple). The others in my party seemed to enjoy their selections as well. Our friends brought their kids for a bit (lucky for them, they live walking distance). The kids played with the jumbo jenga and then watched a little tv. We had a table off in a corner so we were able to change the channel to something to keep them happy. We brought in our own food but they also had someone selling burgers outside. Great service and you're able to try the beers to find the one you want. We will definitely be back! read more

I came here on a Tuesday night, invited by a friend with a beer flight Groupon offer. I was pleasantly surprised to find a well-organized trivia game taking place and a swanky food truck that showed up ready to go. I like that this place allows food trucks and also sells snacks and little meat and cheese plates (adult lunchables) at a very reasonable price. The beers were also pretty decent and I definitely see myself coming back here for more exploration and festivities. I wish they had karaoke! read more

I didn't know I had a brewery so close to home! We had a Groupon for flights tasting for two that was only $15. The inside is comfortable. This brewery is small but they serve plenty of beer on tap. The guy that worked there was great. He was really cool and told us a bit about the beers they had. We tried the first 8 beers they had on tap. I'm not much of beer person but I'm always willing to try. For the most part the ones we had were okay there was really only that stood out to me. Again I'm not a beer person so that doesn't mean the beers weren't good. I think it's a fun experience and couldn't beat the price. read more

Great beer. Great people. Great times. Brian was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the beers on tap.

Best FRESH beer around! My favorite place to hang out in the Valley! You can really taste the different of beer poured right where it's made and there are constantly new beers coming on or back on tap. Super clean, friendly - great atmosphere. They make all the beer in house and you can see the equipment while you drink - pretty cool. There are some bottles to go too. I bring in my dinner a few nights a week on my way home ++ the BBQ food cart is delicious and they have others come by too. Lots of board games and TVs. Come challenge me at a game of scrabble!

Hand-Brewed Beer - Breweries Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Back in the summer of 2016 I came across the folks of Hand Brewed Beer at the LA Week Festival, the people were cool they had some good beers to sample, & I found out they were based in Chatsworth, CA in the San Fernando valley and they planned to have a tasting room open soon. Fast forward to the fall and they're finally open making it 3 or 4 breweries in the valley that are open with an actual tasting room. They're located on Variel Ave. which is a small side street west of De Soto, between Lassen & Plummer. The tasting room is small but spaced out well and could probably hold about 15-20 people. Right now they have 10 beers on tap, most are similar style Porters & Stouts, my favorite was the Rocky Peak Red which is similar to BJ's Jeremiah Red but with a smoother finish, the Cherry Drank & Imperial Milkstout were the other two beers that really stood out to me. The pricing for their taster flights is a bit high, if you got a set of 4 each taster is $3.00. Usually gastro pubs/restaurants that carry craft beers will charge that much for flights, typically at the actual brewery flight tasters are $2.00 each maybe $2.50 tops depending on the actual beer you get. Overall Hand Brew Beer is a decent spot with some cool people working here that have been around for about 2 years. read more

But you can eat first or buy the food in the middle the way and eat there. They are dog friendly! You can get your dog. read more
