Brewery Profile

Beachwood Brewing & Distilling

A visitor looking at Long Beach through its beer scene will find Beachwood Brewing & Distilling operating from its Bixby Knolls taproom with a format that goes beyond a standard draft list. The room is centered on beer, spirits, cocktails, and food, so it works for both a focused tasting stop and a more casual visit with a group. The beer range described for the brewery is broad: Belgian-style tripels, West Coast IPAs, American browns, sour ales, nitro stouts, sessionable blondes, and barrel-aged barleywines all fall within its orbit. The distilling side adds another layer, with house-made rums, gins, and other spirits used in an extensive cocktail selection. For visitors, that means the first impression is not just of a brewery taproom, but of a combined beer-and-spirits operation with several ways to approach a drink menu.

Travelers in Southern California often seek out hop-forward beers, lighter warm-weather options, and taprooms that reflect the region’s long-running interest in experimentation. A stop here fits that pattern without being limited to one lane. West Coast IPAs connect directly to a style strongly associated with California brewing, while Belgian-style tripels, American browns, sour ales, and nitro stouts give the list more range for guests who are not focused only on hops. The brewery also uses hops such as Mosaic, Warrior, and Citra across its beer lineup, which will be familiar to many IPA drinkers. ABV levels span from more sessionable blondes to stronger barrel-aged barleywines, so pacing matters for anyone sampling across categories. The cocktail program may also appeal to travelers who are brewery-curious but prefer spirits, or to mixed groups with different drinking preferences.

For planning purposes, the Bixby Knolls location is the relevant visitor stop, and the taproom is the place to confirm the day’s pours, cocktail list, food options, and any current specials. The business is known to serve food, which makes it easier to build the visit into a meal rather than treating it only as a quick tasting stop. Weekday happy hours and specials are part of the offering, though details should be checked directly before going because schedules and availability can change. Visitors interested in both beer and spirits may want to leave time to compare draft pours with cocktails made from the distillery’s own rum, gin, or other spirits. As with many taprooms, the most useful approach is to arrive with a general sense of preferred styles, then use the current menu to decide what best matches the day’s lineup.
