Wiens Brewing Company

Solid four stars. Their Pilsner was classically styled which is nice versus American mega lager clone.
Everything across the board was above average but IPA centric which too many breweries are. That being said one of the two best breweries in Temecula according to me (plus variety and consistency too).

Great brewery if you’re a fan of the stronger IPAs, I believe the brewer used to work for Stone so it makes sense. Tap room is comfortable and staff is friendly.

Great IPAs, great service! Checked this place out last Friday and they gave a free glass with purchase of the beer! Only downfall– they don’t have food!
They even have yoga on Saturday mornings.

We just headed out from this great brewery. The Red IPA is soooooo YUMMY. The bourbon barrel selections are the best in the area. The staff is friendly and fun. The other a good military discount to boot. Thanks for a Funtime

Beer was ok… Loved the Insomnia. Nice bar area and plenty of seats. Good view of brewing area. Flight was a 4 beer taster for $ 8. More pricey than Ironfire.

Really nice place very cozy. Bartenders were very nice. Beer meh… it just missing something. I tried the strongest beer blew my socks off. Amber red. 11.5 it was not my taste. Too strong for me. There is no food & no children. It’s a brewing place please. TY. Pale ale was pale. Good try & keep brewing.

One of my favorite brewery spots in Temecula. One of the few breweries with AC, backyard lounge type setting. Wiensday $ 3 pints rock & their food truck. Gets pretty crowded, wish it was a little bigger but no complaints.

The best in Temecula, start here cause it’s downhill from here. Our pourer was genuinely interested in the wine and the local area. This isn’t Napa, but the reds here are BIG and delicious.

Great atmosphere and customer service. Had a couple of tasters. They have a really interesting section of barrel aged beers that are complex and tasty. Well worth the extra cost. Will definitely be back.

Large, modern brewhouse with a full tasting room. No food truck when I visited. Wide open spaces, nice wooden décor, original artwork. Beer hall type feel. Service was quick and helpful. Everything on tap was available in samplers. Nicely labeled apparatus for sample flights. Beer quality, however, was shockingly low given the amount of money poured into this place. Practically each beer sampled had a DMS problem (cabbage, creamed corn) and oversteeped grain/​over boiled wort issues (tannic astringency). The place overall was great, but the beer is not good sadly. When I visited, you couldn’t tip on cards here for some bizarre reason so make sure you have some cash for that. Hopefully they have since remedied this.

Came here with a friend for the first time to try to do a lil’ Temecula area brewery tour. We had heard mixed reviews about this place both on Unilocal and speaking to other people but we had to try it for ourselves.
When we got there it was packed. Apparently it was $ 3 pint night. Since we had never been, we didn’t want to commit to one beer. The bartender was very rude– «Nicole». Bluntly stated that we could NOT have a splash to try before committing to trying a pint. All the other breweries gladly do this. So we tried a flight. Each taster was $ 2. My friend asked her a question and she rudely told her, «That’s what I said.» I mean obviously we couldn’t hear you very well because it was so loud. Honestly, I could not enjoy even my flight after this experience. The «Insomnia» IPA was descent, but rude service = no return customers. Sorry Wiens, stick to wine. You can’t just have it all!

This was my first and most likely last visit to the Wiens Brewing Company. The service was absolutely horrible. Nicole was very unpleasant and not helpful. It’s unfortunate, but customer service IS everything and so is attitude. Beer is always a good idea… not here.

The beer is good but does not warrant the bad attitude from some of its staff behind the bar.
The core selection is fairly strong and the specialties are fun and rather hit or miss; but i can respect a brewery with the balls to try new ideas.
The barrel aged options were ok. The double IPA was fresh, citrusy, and very good. The coffee stout was light and sessionable.
Of the 4 times I’ve been to the brewery there has been a few members of bar staff that either dislike their jobs or the customers that come in. I worked in restaurants and bars a good portion of my life and I know how it is working with the public. But if you can’t answer simple curious questions about the beers/​brewery and respond to them without eye rolls and attitude, something is wrong.
This place would get 3 – 4 stars on account of brew lineup, creativity, and environment if the staff reflected these attributes.
I am on the side of the staff member who could be having a bad day, but it is unlikely that the staff consistently and consecutively has a bad day every time I’m in there.

They do an amazing job of complex but consistent and well balanced beers. Great IPA’s and barrel aged beers. I love that they do a rotating case deal (today is a case of Insomnia for $ 30)! Great location with a friendly and knowledgable staff.

Great space with exposed wood and metal with full view of the brewing in the back. Flights were $ 8 – 16 depending on if you got barrel aged or traditionally brewed beers. I got a pale ale, Indian pale lager, red IPA and an IPA. (You can see me preference in beers) The place was clean with plenty of seating. The girls who were pouring were really sweet.

I love all of their IPA’s they are on point, they also make other good beers.
The Bartenders are always awesome and they even know me and my wife by name.
You better check this place out if you are looking for some good beer.

I’d heard of Wein’s winery but not the brewery. Found it on my way to Ironfire and decided to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did. IPA, IIPA, IPL, black IPA, brown, and pils are all really good. They had case specials going on while I was there. $ 36 for a case of IPA/​IPL 22s. At $ 3 a bottle, this was a steal. Cool environment in which to drink beer. I’ll definitely keep a lookout for Wein’s beers in the future.

Stop #4. Great place. Little confusing inside with the tasters. They had a bunch of beers pre poured and were handing them out without explanation. Maybe because they were busy. Bartenders were nice. We will back. My party of 15 enjoyed it. 39 forever! Happy drinking!

Having visited over 150 breweries, I pride myself on being a bit of a beer connoisseur and I’d put Wiens at the top brewery in Temecula. Top 25 in Southern California.
Their beers are clean, consistent, well crafted and push the style guidelines, allowing them to stand out amongst an insane number of craft breweries in the Southern California region.
If you like beers that push your taste boundaries, allowing you to appreciate beer in a new light with new experiences, I suggest visiting the brewery and tasting a few. Their IPAs are really good; the barrel aged beers amazing.
While you’re there, pick up a 22oz bottle at the brewery, too. Their prices are unbeatable.

Great spot. As with many craft breweries these days, their focus seems to be on IPAs. For me, that’s great, however I could see how for some especially those that aren’t ‘hop heads’ might not be as much of a fan. Flights/​tasters are very reasonable and there’s a good variety to try.
Personally, their higher IBU beers were my preference here. I didn’t even both trying the ale/​lagers that were lower. I know what I like, what can I say. One of the things I noticed and was stoked about is their barrel aged beers. The difference between BA and non-​BA versions were night and day. I gotta say though, being a bourbon aficionado I’m biased. They had tons of bourbon barrels just waiting for beer to be aged in!
Service was great, I’m with a local home brewers assoc and they opened an hour early for us. When we arrived (almost 30 min earlier than intended) they were happy to see us and very attentive. We got a nice tour of facilities and the staff was open to all of our questions. To be honest, I wasn’t expecting service at that level so early on a Saturday morning. I can’t say I’d be as customer service forward at that hour.
