Brew Crew

Have to say, all the beers here are outstanding. Perhaps my favorite brewery in SoCal.
This co-​op (of three brew masters) rocks and is my favorite craft brewery in the IE. Every beer was delish. They didn’t have enough of one brew to fill a growler – the charm of small craft breweries is that they are experimental and produced in small quantities; but when they run out they run out.
I’d highly recommend this joint. With free popcorn, board games, arcade machines, large screen televisions and an open backward faced toward trains that pass, it makes for a worthwhile visit.
Favorites are Thaison Saidon and Double Dubble
Stout Standing and Twilight Grove (are very nice)
Spanish Mocha aims to please. Cocoa, vanilla beans over a porter. Another favorite.

My brothers and I always stop by this beer joint. We love it. Good beer and free games!!!

Fun times here celebrating a birthday. It’s so relax and chill. A plus is that you can bring in your own food! Play some board games or even basketball out back. Their beers are super tasty and they have quite a few options. Some have much higher alcohol content than regular beers. I can’t wait to take my husband, as I know he would love the beers and the atmosphere. The workers here are super friendly and accommodating. It’s hard to find a place with excellent service these days so that sets this place apart from a lot of other places.

A cool place to drink and chill. Solid good service. They have complimentary popcorn in the back room!
Restroom is clean too — that’s a plus! :)

Let me start by saying I don’t go to bars much, but I’ve been to a few. But I’d say that what was missing from them is a stand-​up arcade game emulator with 6,000 games from the 8-​bit and 64-​bit era (Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, among other Japanese imports). Also, there’s no need to dig for quarters because it’s free. Also you can draw on their chalkboard walls. They make their own beer there, and proudly sell it in sample size flights and pints. You’re welcome to bring your own food: Couple of times I’ve wanted a Carl’s Jr burger with an IPA and now it’s possible.

The parking lot was pretty full when I got there. Can’t park on the right either because it’s reserved. Walking into the brewery, it’s small and dark. There are seats for maybe 8. The positives are the fact that they have three different breweries under the Brew Crew label. This means more variety. Much more. The problem with some breweries I visit is that they get tied into themes. Meaning too many IPA varietals or too many stouts. The nice part of having three different breweries in one place is that you are combining three different visions of varietals. They will also fill growlers from other breweries. Most don’t do this. They also occasionally make fresh popcorn in the back and have video games as well. The server at the front was also extremely friendly and will have a good conversation with you about other local breweries. My only suggestion is upgrading the A/​C unit and expanding the lobby somewhere that would offer more outdoor light and more seats.

Super small place that serves a lot of beer they brew themselves. Those dudes, know how to brew beer! I honestly came in here by accident thinking it was another place but tried a beer anyways. It was outstanding. Really made me wish I lived closer.

Comments: «Brew Crew» is currently a collection of three brewing teams that brew on one system: Polymath, Delicious Science, and Seven Brothers with beer quality that is relatively good with a few flops. Tap list is nicely organized between the three brands. Tasting flight sheet is also nicely organized between the brands. Great place to get your tick on with beers not available elsewhere. Nothing had glaring brewing flaws so it isn’t anything torturous like other Riverside breweries.

Oh. My. Gosh.
This place is awesome!

My fiancée and i came back to Brew Crew for a second go around. Now im finally getting a chance to review this place.
Upon entry– the Bar/​Cashier is directly in front of you. The first time we came in it was not as crowded, so the bar was not busy at all. Our second visit, they were actually slammed, which then the entrance was pretty crowded as your trying to get to the end of the line. There were 2 up front pouring and collecting money which was good, but still went by a little slow. I know they were doing their best to answer questions/​pour/​collect money, so i was ok with the wait.
Seems like its just a small tasting room– but head to the back and there is a garage with bar tables and video games to play. A lot of board games as well.
Brew Crew houses 3 different brewers beers which each brewer has about 4 to 5 different beers. The price range:
4oz = $ 1.50 to $ 3.00
12oz or 16oz = $ 4 to $ 6
32oz = $ 8 to $ 13
You can customize flights to your liking and just pay the 4oz taster price for each.
No-​hoprimise– Hoppy goodness wow. whoppin 128ibus! 9.0% This was created by Delicious
Science– And it was really delicious. I got a 12oz pour of this for $ 6 and enjoyed every sip of it.
Barley wine– Vino d’ Orzo by fermatrix– 15.5%. ! with the IBUs at 25. this sucker was a creeper. At first thought… this doesn’t taste like a strong Barley Wine– Normally you get that kick when sipping a BW. but when i saw the ABV at 15.5%.good god. This was one of the lightest BW i’ve tasted, but the strongest thus far. hence the 5oz pour. Loved every sip of this as well.
I like the concept of housing 3 – 4 brewers beers (Not just a couple of each like restaurants). its like a 1-​stop shop to taste beers of 3 different breweries. So it is constantly changing.
Definitely will be coming back as there is a new Brewer brewing BCT in august– from what the owner said, he has alot of medals and awards! excited to experience that.

This place is awesome! I love that one could brewery hop Wicks and this place a couple doors down, in theory, although I haven’t actually made it past one brewery. Yummy, creative brews from Polymath, Seven Brethren, and Delicious Science. Highly recommend The 909 DIPA. If you’re into IPAs, this one has a delicious hop profile. Ray and the owner, Vince, are so friendly and drunken Jenga is intense! This place has good vibes. Will be back for more. Cheers!

Really good beers that are constantly changing. They also have a shelf stuffed with board games and a little area to play basket ball. They dont serve food but its still a great place to hang out with some friends.

Ray and Tatiana are both AMAZING! So friendly… Great customer service. Both very knowledgeable about all of the beers.
I visit this place as often as possible, and always have a wonderful experience.

Brew Crew is just a downright awesome brewery. If you are a regular at the place next door and have never been here you should definitely give them a chance, you won’t be disappointed.
To start this place is a brewery with 3 – 4 «breweries» all in one place. They have at least 15+ beers on tap at all times. They’re sure to have something that you’ll fall in love with. My personal favorite so far is the tamarind. It’s a subtle sourish beer with big flavor, they also have a Nutella beer stout that is amazing.
The interior is very nice inside, couple tables in the main area then outback there is a larger room with a old school video game arcade, darts and more seating. They have board games to play as well as complimentary pretzels with your beer. There is a TV inside the main area to catch a game or whatever is on.
The beer tenders here are always pleasant and polite, very patient and helpful in explaining how each beer would taste and making suggestions. Prices are good.
You can bring your own food with you or go to wicks next door and order something to bring over. They’ll even let establishments that deliver, deliver you food.
Over all Brew Crew is a great place with a great crew to serve you and even better beer. Give this place a try you won’t be disappointed

A funky, cool, concept craft brewery that goes off the reservation for innovative brews. How’s that for a one liner?
Brew Crew is a compilation of several brewers who are willing to take chances with the craft. It’s a small batch operation and it feels intimate from the moment you walk in. The lounge area feels like you’re kicking it with buddies around the keg in the garage. With the size and set-​up, you quickly end up with several new drinking buds.
They were having minor issues with there pour system while we were there and the beers were coming out a wee bit flat. But, you were more than able to sense the quality coming through. Get the system up and running, and it’s a 5 Star joint.
Vince, good to meet you. Damn fine job and thanks for sharing the homesteading love.

This place is all about three things: Beer, Beer, and Beer. A unique concept that has 4 very small breweries all brewing and serving beers. This gives you an amazing variety of beers to choose from. There is something for everyone, except the Coors Light lover. It has a front pub type of room or you can choose to sit out in the middle of the brewery. I am sitting in the brewery on a lovely afternoon with the garage door listening to music.
Come suppurt this lovely local brewery.

Love this place. There’s always new beers to try with truly unique ingredients. .like cucumber, carrot, or tamarind. With 3 different brewers on tap there is something for everyone. Try a flight if you can’t decide!

My husband and I have been eagerly awaiting the opening of this triple brew house! Three brewers, three companies, three distinct styles. We got a flight of 8 wanting to try as many as we could. We ended up with about 2 – 4 from each brew house. I (with a broader taste in beer) liked 6 of the 8. Two of them blew my mind… Most notably the Mallow Mana by Polymath. Wow, what amazing subtle complexity! The Razin Hell was outstanding and complex as well, though far from subtle. My husband (a creature of habit) loved the Poly Pale Ale.
I try to not give out 5 star reviews like candy on Halloween but I honestly could not think of a negative thing to say. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgable. The place was clean and had a unique style. They had a tower of board games to play as well as darts. They offer free water and the restrooms were very clean. All in all a great place. We will be back!
8−29−14: Ok, been three times now and the only thing I can think of is they need some AC and they need growlers to take the yummy beer home!

After my second visit, I managed to get a taste of all the beers that were available and it did not disappoint!
I noticed that they opened the bar close to Wicks (a few stores away), but it had Delicious Science so I had to check it out!
Delicious Science was one of the higher marked beers that was a regular on tap selection at Wicks. I wondered what happened to them till they practically opened up next door.
I asked if I could bring in some food from Cabos Tacos from a nearby plaza and Vincent was cool with it.
DELICIOUS SCIENCE BREW:
Original post on 8÷30÷2013
«Delicious Science/​WBC Raisin Hell: Brewed with citra hops, golden raisins, and star anise. Faint aroma of anise (similar smell to black licorice). Medium malt taste with a refreshing finish. ⁸⁄₁₀.»
Original post on 4÷24÷2013
«Delicious Science Stoutstanding (⁸⁄₁₀): A dark chocolate stout with coffee notes and also very good.»
Hefe-​Rye-​Zen (⁹⁄₁₀): Really nice blend of honey and rye and is lightly sweet with a smooth finish. 6.3% ABV.
Smooth Hoperator (⁹⁄₁₀): Black IPA that is really easy to drink with some chocolate notes with a light to moderate lingering of hops aftertaste. 6.4% ABV.
Maple Heaven (⁷⁄₁₀): A collaboration with Seven Brothers, this «maple wheat wine» is strong at 10.5% ABV. Strong wood bite with a hint of maple and caramel.
Blue Collar Hero (⁵⁄₁₀): An lite ale that is a little sweet, but doesn’t have any defining characteristics. Have to try this first rather than later since the flavor from the others might have overpowered this one. 4% ABV.
SEVEN BROTHERS BREW:
Ryeside (⁹⁄₁₀): This is the lite ale I would suggest to anyone. A Scottish Lite ale with medium to heavy honey with a litte rye and spices! Light notes of hop at the end. 5.5% ABV.
Saint-Luke’s Belgium Cuke (⁸⁄₁₀): A «peppery, tart attack finishes with a hint of cool cucumber.» I was leery about the description, but the beer was good and the cucumber finish was light but it was noticeable. I imagine pairing this with steak or burgers. 6.0% ABV
P.I.P.A. (⁹⁄₁₀): An American IPA with Pomelo (so P. omelo I. ndia P.ale A. le). I was pleasantly surprised by this IPA. The citrus is definitely at the forefront, but it was very easy to drink. It had an earthy quality to it that reminded me of yams and roots (in this case it is a good thing). Clocks at 8.0% ABV and I am definitely getting this one again.
Bruesli– Grist of Fury (8.5÷10): Organic, unfiltered Weisenbock. It is really unusual to find an unfiltered beer on tap, but it would make sense if you are vegetarian (search isenglass). This beer struck me as unusual since it is a dark wheat beer with notes of apple, orange, and cinnamon. Typically you drink this beer during the fall when the weather gets cooler, but it is a good beer and a pleasant surprise at 6,5% ABV.
POLYMATH BREW:
Clockwork Orange IPA (8.5÷10): An IPA that I would like to describe as a «Piney Creamsicle.» The pine notes hit you then steadily quiet down to be overtaken by a creamy orange beer. Very surprised by this discovery and is certainly a dangerous brew at 7.1% ABV.
Summertime (⁴⁄₁₀): A Grisette beer (a lighter version of Saison). It reminded me of a lemon/​lime beer that is very easy to drink. I recommended mixing this with iced tea or lemonade to make a shandy gaff for those who couldn’t take that much alcohol. After talking with Jason, I found out this is probably the last time I’ll see it.
Rockin’ Queen (9.5÷10): A Belgium Amber ale that has malty undertones that features various stone fruits. I tasted raspberry, plum, and muscat grape (think dessert wine grapes) that made this beer an incredible ale. Should be a staple.
Proletariat (⁸⁄₁₀): A Czech Saison hybrid. Orange blossom hits initially then regresses while the mild hops steadily take over. An easy drinking beer and definitely in time for summer! 6.6% ABV.
M.C.Ale (9.5÷10): A Belgian pale that is malty with slight hops. I tasted lemon and strawberry with a faint hint of melon. An excellent brew and I will regularly order this one. 6.1% ABV.
M.C.Ale with Strawberry (8.5÷10): Similar to the original with a stronger strawberry flavor that I felt was a bit overpowering. Reminded me of Petrus Aged Red in that I was drinking a beer version of strawberry jam. 6.1% ABV

Great beers from all 3 brewers. My favorites are Stoutstanding and Raisin Hell from Delicious Science. Ryeside and St Lukes Belgian Cuke from Seven Brothers Brewery. And 909 IPA and the Drie Tripel from Polymath Brewing.
Very Nice décor for a tasting room in the Inland Empire. Dark, cozy, quaint.
Side note: you can order food from local restaurants and have it delivered here. BONUS!
Helpful, knowledgeable staff.
Well done Brew Crew. Great concept!
