Golden Road Brewing

Love, Love going here and meeting up with friends. Such a fun atmoshpere.
There is a beer for all my friends my personal favorite is the Wolf Pack IPA. Good job guys.

Awesome atmosphere. I’m a huge Bootleggers fan, but this is what I’d wish Bootleggers would do with their space. So much classier and clean and relaxing.
I tried their Red and their Wolf Pack IPA while my husband tried their hef. All three were excellent.
We will definitely be back!

I was craving a stout tonight after dinner and was deciding between Golden Road Brewing and The Noble Ale. I decided on the former and was very disappointed. Golden Road Brewing is right across from the Angel Stadium so if you’re going on a game night expect the parking lot to be closed off for event parking ($ 10). You can save that money for the beer and find some street parking. There’s a big and inviting patio outside with string lights and lots of comfortable chairs. There’s bar seating, some tables and a big sofa inside for more seating. They have 2 big screen TVs inside and some games (cards, jenga, connect four, etc). Sometimes they have food trucks parked in their lot, which is convenient if you want to grub while you enjoy the beer.
When I looked on Unilocal,I was enticed by pictures of their gingerbread stout (regular, coffee and brandy) and that was the main reason why I picked this place tonight. Sadly, they don’t have that anymore! And they also no longer have the «I’ll have another stout» stout. So I settled on the bartender’s recommendation of the Dry Irish stout and my bf got the Red Ale. Sadly I was disappointed by both. My stout felt a little flat in flavor and not cold enough (yuck to room temp beer). The Red Ale was a little bit better but not by much. I’m still in search for that one good dark stout with a coffee taste and sadly, this place did not deliver.

Jazmin and I came here for a little «hoppy hour» before downtown Disney. It’s an awesome tasting room and literally across the street from Angel stadium. I really want to come back because of their large variety of IPAs. Their wolf among weeds IPA is by far the best and packs some heat with the alc %. Jazmin enjoyed a nice tart beer since she’s into sours. We sat on a couch in their nice patio and enjoyed the atmosphere there. Many locals it seems but super inviting. Check it out if you’re in the OC. Cheers!

Good beer, good people, good times. They have a happy hour from 3 –6 m-​th and 12 – 3 on Friday plus $ 3 329 pints when the angles play home or away.

Super chill and fun place!
Met some friends and played some jenga, uno and connect 4.
Music was lacking and almost put us to sleep, I think the cute blonde chick was offended when we asked if she could change it (in which she said she couldn’t b/​c the stations were pre-​set… then went inside to chat with her co-​worker and yelled out (since the indoor music was way more energetic and different than the outdoor music) «I can change it (but won’t)»).
But you live and let live, right?
It was WAY COOL that we were able to order pizza from an outside vendor and enjoy it while the Angels game was playing on both of the outdoor flat screens.
As a non-​drinker, I was excited to see that they offered a cold brew. I would love to see them also offer root beers and/​or root beer floats.
Bartender with the beautiful dreads was really friendly and awesome. Wish we were friends actually heh

A great place to hang out on the weekend. They have a cozy patio with comfy couches, tvs and they allow dogs! Definitely coming here regularly now that I live nearby. Also they change up the beers a lot and everything I’ve tried is great.

PROS–
–Right in front of Angel Stadium
–Cute patio area w/​heaters
CONS–
Beer is just OK.

I’ve been coming here very often ever since it opened and I have to say I really enjoy it here. It’s the perfect spot for before or after going to the Angel and Duck games, and it keeps growing and making a better identity as time goes by. They now have Happy Hours Mon-​Thursday from 4 – 6 PM, and on Friday from 12 – 3 PM. The staff here is great — they enjoy casual conversations when slow, and are typically on top of their game when it picks up. Great casual outside patio that is just perfect when you want to chill outside in the summertime or when it’s a great day outside. And with their brewery opening soon, it can only get better from here. Cheers!

Loved it, such a fun atmosphere to lounge and drink a beer. They have many different brews to choose from. The Wolf IPA is a delicious 8%!

I had the Hoppy flight and I wasn’t too happy with it out of the 4 beers I had I only liked 1. I had the Wolf pup session, Citra Blend, Heal the bay and Wolf among weeds. Wolf among weeds is the one I would suggest out of the four. I always expect a warm welcoming when I visit brewery’s or tap rooms wasn’t very warm when I visited. Don’t think I’ll be back but it was a decent visit.
If you decide to visit make sure it’s not during an Angels home game. It gets very busy and there isn’t any place to sit. Once the game started it started to clear up and it was a lot more enjoyable.

Look I love having a brewery this close to the stadium, don’t get me wrong this place is good. But I don’t think its a 4 or 5-​star spot yet. Part of the reason is I am just not a big fan of the beers that Golden Road puts out. Nothing really reaches out and grabs me like other breweries do. This place is experiencing growing pains and has some great plans of expansion and a restaurant.
But for now it’s a small little spot that is growing in popularity and getting pretty crowded during Angel games. Staff here from what we have experienced has been great. They do their best as some people take their sweet time when picking the sampler. Its not like you are picking college courses here people.
Out of most of their beers I can drink their IPAs although they are not my favorite around. I do enjoy their Citra Wheat, it has a great taste. I am not a wheat beer fan but the Citra hop is one of my favs. They also sell beer here for pretty good prices but you can’t drink it there which kind of sucks. I will still come here before Angel games and I am curious to see how the add ons to the place are going to play out. CHEERS!!!

Maybe it’s because it was our second stop and our second beer, but I was a fan. This is in viewing distance of the stadiums, across an empty lot that will soon be apartment buildings. Grab a beer from their extensive list indoors and sit on the outside on sterile white seats atop astroturf. It’s kind of weird, especially since the view is the parking lot, but the important thing is, it makes for a good experience. Beers are good and there are lots of options aside from the ones in store. I’m glad for this addition nearby.

Loved the place and the inside couch area. Friendly staff, good brews, ping pong table, what more can you ask for?
I wouldn’t come on Saturday nights tho, it gets too packed and I feel like I’m in downtown Fullerton, which I don’t like. I leave the bars for the tasting rooms so when it feels like a bar, I’m out.

Service was great and the people friendly. Very relaxing Sunday outside the typical brewery-​in-​industrial-​warehouse type of setting a la Valiant and other local brews. Following the usual formula, they had a food truck with some really amazing hot dogs. Heck, even a ping pong table as well as a fooseball table set up outside.
Biggest issue is that as a brew enthusiast it missed the mark entirely. A craft brewery should be more than a formula for a brand and business model. If every drink in my flight and every drink on my buddy’s flight was something I either hated or was let down on, Golden Road does not have my recommendation. The theme of the brewery, as of writing, seemed to be that their IPAs are a dash of IPA, dash of wheat beer and a dash of fruitiness. The ratios did not quite make for a satisfying taste in any way. If you commit to any one of those, you can have a deep flavor that resonates all around. However, you get the tip of each iceberg and you never quite reach the depths of any.
To clarify, if you want to knock a couple back and just relax, there might be a couple options with which you can spend your Sunday afternoon. No problem. However, if you are an enthusiast and want to be delighted by a flight of various, craft tastes this may not be the place for you. Taste can be very subjective so I urge you to make your own decision but these buds did not enjoy the hops here one bit.

This is a pretty good looking brewery. Nice place to hang out. There have a pretty good size tasting room with a few tvs. They also have an outside patio area.
The beers themselves are pretty balanced. They do a good job with the types of beers they have. Its a good spread. They also have growlers and alot of canned beer if you want to go that route as well.

Love love love. One of my new favorites.
It’s located across the street from the Angel Stadium, kind of tucked away in the industrial buildings area. They have minimal parking, but there’s also spots on the street. Be careful coming here on nights there’s an event at the stadium… It might take you a while to find parking.
They have this cute outdoor area with fake grass, seating, and heaters. The inside is small but seats quite a few… It even has a couple couches in the corner.
I recommend getting the taster, if you’re indecisive like me. And somewhere in the taster, you have to try the Gingerbread Stout. It’s as good as everyone has said on prior reviews. They even have different versions of it to suit everyone’s tastes. I’m an IPA girl, so I got three different kinds of those and love all of them. Great flavors that all held their own.
They have food trucks posted outside too, so hopefully you come on a night when they’re selling something you like.
I almost hate to write this review because I want to keep this place a little secret… It’s not too busy yet. But the beer speaks for itself!

Oh new brewery how I love you!
I drive past this brewery on the regular, on my way to bike the Santa Ana River Trail, and I work about 2 miles from here, but have never stopped in till now.
I was at the block of Orange with a GF and we decided that we needed a beer. I mentioned a few breweries had open up in the area that I was dying to try out so we decided on Golden Road’s new location.
We both loved the look front patio area all the comfy couches and heat lamps were very inviting, but neither of us were dressed for that much cold and beer so went inside, once again inviting couches made is feel warm and inviting.
We went to the bar and started checking out our options. The staff was great and had no problem with supplying several samples before we decided. I went for the Wolf in the Weeds IPA as my favorite and my GF did a taster. we shared all.
A few of the favorites: The Dark wheat was really good, it had a strong banana clove nose that I love in a hefe but you don’t usually get in a dark. But I think the IPA’s are what make them shine.
Like most industrial tasting room breweries there was no kitchen but there was a taco truck parked for snacks.

Although this place is technically owned by Anheuser-​Busch, the beers here are nothing like your piss-​water bud light (though there is a time and place for piss beer lol). They have really solid IPAs here as well as a unique selection of gingerbread stouts. Sometimes you can find these canned beers at Costco but what’s better than their gingerbread stout straight off the nitro? Their tasting room is quite nice as well as their patio area. I believe their restaurant will be open beginning of 2018 (according to the bartender) so for those of you waiting for the full fledged flagship to open, don’t hold your breath.
Come here for some solid beers in Orange County’s exploding craft beer scene.

Great small tasting room! A cool patio with a little shade. There are some couches inside and tv’s to watch some sports! The service is quick and friendly! The menu is limited but there are some items that are not listed. There is an option for tasting flights although it is preset.
I tried the Berliner Weiss with raspberry juice and it was awesome! Anyone that isn’t a beer drinker would appreciate it!
Cool spot to chill! Bring your friends!
