Chino Valley Brewery

I wish I could say more about this brewery. I do plan on going back here, but I had a heck of time just trying to get here. After a disappointing visit to I&I where we found they had no growlers, I got on Unilocal and found Chino Valley Brewing. Super excited. Sure it was a 30 minute drive, but no prob. Unilocal says they open at 2 on Saturday (submitting a change for that when I finish this). Except we arrive at 3 and they are CLOSED. They do not open until 4:30! GR. So we drive all the way back to Chino Hills to get ready for our party and then on our way to the party, we stop back by after they are open and this time they are open. But, we had learned out lesson and started out with the all important question (thinking we were joking) «You do have growlers, right?»
«No.»
REALLY???
How is it possible that these breweries have no growlers!?! Is it a regional thing? Is there a glass shortage in the IE?
Anyways, we had to find some beer, so we had to leave without trying anything. I do plan to go back one day and actually try the beers, but Gr. Frustration.

Their IPA is so good and refreshing on a hot day! The porter has a great malty flavor that I really like as well. Friendly staff too! Would visit all the time if I lived in that area.

What a wonderful surprise the Chino Valley Brewery was and how disappointed I was to not have discovered it sooner. It is literally less than a mile from my house and I’m so glad I came across this place when looking up reviews on a different brewery… can’t beat a place I can ride my beach cruiser to!
We showed up on a random Saturday afternoon for the first time just to grab a beer and take a break from working on our house. The place was PACKED… literally every seat and every standing space filled. They were playing free bingo to win things like t-​shirts and free growlers and there was also a guy playing live music and a vendor for ice cream and BBQ.
Loved the atmosphere, staff was wonderful, and the beer was cold and delicious!

Great beer, great owner/​brewmaster
Good place to stop in and have a pint or two.
Love the Prado Porter on nitrogen.
All the beers are good and there is one for everyone’s taste.

I’ve been wanting to swing by for ages… swung by an hour or so before closing time. The beers were good… the owner/​head brewer was awesome to chat with. I liked the peanuts and that they had a food booth outside… only caveat is that I can’t take my brewery kids there… but it’s not the brewery’s fault… it’s rules set forth by the City of Ontario…

Great beer, great service. Love the feel of a start up brewery that they have. Location is very hidden, but they have the best beer I’m the I.E. better that hanger and dale bros. it would be nice if they served food aside from the food trucks that come.

it wasn’t my favorite the only thing that I really liked was the Nitro beer but nothing that I would try to go out of my way for

To get my girlfriend to commit to an all day men’s softball tournament, I have to make sure that there will be good food or good beer close by. It’s the only way I can make sure that even if we suck or she is stuck at a complex for hours because we don’t, the day will still be fun.
Good food we did not have time for but good beer we found. In an industrial building the size of a shoe box sits Chino Valley Brewing. We have been to many tasting rooms but this one was definitely unique and special. The brewer, owner, and genuinely nice guy, Matt, has mastered his tiny brewing endeavor. He currently distributes to one bar and one restaurant. Not because the beer is not good, but it’s the most he can take on right now. Albeit, he is planning on expanding soon to keep up with demand and I’m sure it will expand in the area.
Taster of 4 for 7.50. Blonde was good because it had some body to it and made you feel like you were drinking a real beer. Pale ale and ESB were also good. We lucked out on our stop when he was still pouring his St. Patty’s IPA, pine tree deliciousness instead of the usual IPA, Mule Car, which I’m sure is also good but is supposedly has more citrus hops.
We’ll be back next tourney to see the growth I’m sure is bound to come.

Chino Valley Brewery had their first trivia night last night. It was a crowded event. Even with the crowd and the limited sitting space, service was quick and the beer tasty. I especially liked the Saint Patrick’s IPA.
I am sure it won’t be around for long. If you like IPA, come in and try the few offerings they have.
Their growler prices are also reasonable. Since this is the closest brewery to me, I am sure that i will be a regular. The staff was invinting and the trivia was fun. They also aired the US vs. Mexico soccer game on the TV while we played. That was a very nice channel switch on our behalf.

If you like Ales this is your brewery. Ask for Matt if you have any questions about the beers. They also have their Foggy Morning Stout on CO2 and Nitro (if you prefer a frosty beer).

I only tried 2 brews, not bad!

Great beer very friendly and only a few minutes from the airport. Worth a stop if you have some time before your flight.

Came in on a whim. Tough to find, it’s buried deep in an industrial/​commercial complex but don’t let that dissuade you from seeking it out.
Walked in after a huge crowd had just left and got a chance to chat with the owner/​brewer.
After pursuing the selection of six beers and getting a few tasters, I grabbed a flight of four for $ 7.
The stout was amazing, not too rich and just smoky enough to let me taste some of the roasted hops characters.
The rest of the beers I has we’re wonderful too, the «red» was really quite good though not truly a red as the IBUs were higher than technically allowed it was very flavorful and one of my favorite reds I’ve had to date.
They brew small batches so expect a small variety of rotating brews based on when you stop by.
Do stop by! Support local craft brew!
No food is served here so eat before :)
Pints run about $ 5.

Loved trying this new brewery out. I appreciate that they only put out smaller, more quality batches instead of cranking out massive amounts of terrible beer, which seems to be the way many micro breweries go.
I knocked off a star for the limited hours and it wasn’t very climate controlled inside (warm and humid). They are only open a couple of days a week for very limited hours so it took a while to make time to get there.
That being said, if you’re in the area and they’re open FIND THIS PLACE. You’re sure to meet some cool regulars, have lovely conversation and try some very solid beers.
My favorite this trip was the Butterfield Blonde, very easy drinking. Foggy Morning on nitro was creamy and rich. Make sure to try nitro taps if you’re working on craft beer exploring.
Say hello to Ray, grab a chair, have some peanuts and meet a new friend! Chino Valley is a great addition to the IE craft beer community.

Cool place, the owner is very nice and welcoming. The craft beer taste amazing.

Love supporting Local brewery!!! Very exclusive-​like atmosphere but the beer is always the star of this place. This is how I find myself dreaming of starting my own brewery and sharing the love. Every Friday or maybe weekends, they have a Food truck or a food shop there inside, just in case you are hungry. Cant beat fresh beer! Nuff said.

AWESOME. Best place to drink and about as local as you can get. Local people brewing local beer.
It doesn’t get any better than this — really…

Ooohh if I could trade places with these guys I’d do it in a heartbeat. They’ve got a great little brewery tucked away in an office park and seem to really enjoy what they’re doing. It’s a small, friendly place, no frills necessary. They’ve got three fantastic brews on tap — Butterfield Blonde, Foggy Morning Stout and Mulecar IPA. Their stout is made with real milk sugar and it’s super smooth. I’m really glad I stopped by here.

Great little upstart craft brewery in Ontario
The owners/​brewmaster are super cool
Folks who enjoy the art of beer

Small hand crafted batches. Great tasting fresh beer, Nice people.
They make some good beer over there. I love their IPA and Route 83 Pale ale. Red & Porters are good too.
Must try, you will like it.
