Just a tasting room, several house and guest taps. Very clean place, a handful of tables to sit at, staff were very pleasant, would definitely go again.

Just a little brewery working in an industrial park. Enjoyed the Eagle Rock Deuce, nice flavor in a heavier tap. Reasonably priced. Lot of locals in there, many bringing in growlers for refills. They even had some friends bring in food trucks for some sandwich service. Welll worth the trip if you like the "real brewery" experience.

OK place. I wouldn’t mind taking a frined to sample ER beers but it will not be my frequent hang-out.

the staff was excellent and very helpful selection could use some work

Very nice people. Dug the food trucks. Beer was slightly better than average. I think it is great for the LA beer scene. Beer lineup could use some work but all in all a place I would visit again.

Had bigger hopes for the place being so close. Beers seemed like they needed to ferment longer, not as developed as I would like. They are new so I could see them improving. Will try again.

In LA, no one does it better than ERB. This little brewery that could has a very classy setup. I love getting growlers filled and looking through the glass at the brewery equipment. It is an authentic brewery experience right in town. Top marks for service and vibe. The beer is great but limited due to their size. They do have some guest taps on usually, but I go for the local fresh stuff. Ting is one of the owners and is a pleasure to see. The father and son brew team is usually around too.

Ambiance: A really jazzy tasting room, semi-dim lights. Cool tables to sit at. The brewery itself is the cleanest brewery I’ve ever seen in my life.

Service: The Raubs and Ting are very welcoming. Can’t complain there.

Selection: There is always a half dozen ERB beers on tap, sometimes a guest tap or two, and some guest beers in the cooler. Food: Can’t give them credit or point deductions for the food trucks that roll up. Value: Their growler fills are a bit pricey, but to go there for beer is a great value. Overall: A charming, fresh face for the LA Beer scene.

I gave them a couple of extra points in the selection category because I felt they deserve more than an 88. This is LA’s first brewery in a long time - no Angel City does not count. It’s a father and son and it appears as though no one else works there. They have a nice little tap room with a big window that overlooks the brewhouse. They bring in some guest taps and usually have their whole selection (which is limited, they are new and small) and the brewers take time to talk to patrons. Nice touch. I actually met the son (red hair, forget his name) at Tony’s Darts Away while I was sipping Solidarity, their black mild ale. The bartender said, that’s the guy who brewed it and introduced us. I hope these guys have great success, they are cool and in it for the right reasons. Highly recommended.

Great new place for Angelenos. The beer is solid and very tasty. Everyone involved with this place is genuinely nice. Can’t wait to have the XPA.
