Topa Topa Brewing Co. — Restaurant in Ventura

We stopped in here on the way back to San Diego and were completely blown away with the entire experience. The beer these guys are brewing is phenomenal. Full stop. My brother and I each tried the flight which included a saison, an IPA, the double IPA and their nitro stout. I'm not usually a huge fan of dark beers but the stout won me over with it's coffee infused brew and nitrogen tap delivery.

Topa Topa is also a really cool place to hang out. Outside of the beers, the interior of the space is industrial, with wooden accents which really blends well together. It feels really warm and welcoming, yet extremely clean at the same time.

The day we stopped in there was a food truck outside which I guess is done most of the time. Synergistic local businesses. It really does feel like a community. The friendliness of the staff also really lends to the sense of family and community. What a great local space. Anytime I'm in the central coast I'll be stopping in....

Honestly don’t understand what any of the less than 5 star reviews are about. Have these people ever been to a brewery before? If you are looking for a high quality, local brewery option: Topa Topa Brewing Co. is the one of the top choices in Southern CA.

Google Reviews only gives you enough space for a high level overview of their positives: • Good Vibes (only) • AMAZING beer (only) • Tux!

Never had a bad experience with any of the staff who are all incredible folks who are really chill. • The fellow beer drinkers. Topa Topa seems to always draw great folks out. • The patio allows dogs! • Food trucks with diverse options (Topa Topa doesn’t control this - just a bonus). • Sweet...

Great selection of craft beers (IPAs, ales, lagers, stout) and seltzers, outdoor (and indoor) seating, friendly staff and dog bowls, too!

Dropped in to meet friends (former ‘desert dwellers’) and sampled a few of the featured beers including ‘Level Line’ pale ale and ‘Kerna Lager.’ Both were great!

Indoor space is somewhat tight, but there are tables and bar seating. Two patio areas - front of building and side of the building (which is more expansive). Patio is shaded from the afternoon sun, and of course there are cool ocean-influenced breezes.

Bathroom is in the interior of the business; up-to-date and clean.

Parking is convenient- right in front of...
