Stop # 2 is in Pomona where Neon Bear Brewing resides next door to a neon museum storage facility, hence the bright name.
Let’s shed some light on their beers…
….I would start with Honey Laundrin’ a rather hefty honey blonde ale at 7.5% then move on to the Near Dark Schwarzbier before going back a bit to their cream ale, Near Light. Gotta try an IPA so Beach Beer their WC IPA is my choice before finishing with a sour stout, Sweet Sorrow.
Old time L.A. beer fans might remember Sanctum Brewing in Pomona, well that space is now the home of Neon Bear Brewery. The owner/brewmaster is Ryan Walton, who last worked at Last Name Brewing Co. They are now open and showing off neon signage because, for some strange reason, the City of Glendale’s Museum of Neon Art, has a storage facility not in Glendale. I digress, the brewery is now open and is on my to-visit list.
Coming later is Campsite Brewing settling in Covina and a planned opening date later this year. More info to come as they get closer to opening the taps on what should include a rauchbier or s’mores stout.
