What people say

5 out of 5 stars

“BRC is a hidden gem in Costa Mesa. Excellent craft beer and hard seltzers. Hector, Angie, Laura, Ethan and Ryan will all take great care of you. The owners are often there and happy to welcome you and help guide you to your new favorites.”

5 out of 5 stars

“Hands down the best brewery in Orange County—superb beer, seltzers, beertenders, and community. If you’re a hard seltzer fan, BRC’s POG is the best hard seltzer in Orange County (Seltzerita with fresh lime margarita mix is also a standout). The crowd is super friendly and welcoming. This place feels like home (but with better seltzers haha).”
