Breweries in Rancho Cucamonga

Rancho Cucamonga’s beer scene is small, industrial, and honest about it. Three independents make the crawl: Solorio on Feron, Rowdy’s on 6th, and The Brewmill on Arrow Route — the newest, in the old No Clue space, with food trucks doing kitchen duty. All three are warehouse-district taprooms where the beer is the décor.

Widen the radius fifteen minutes and it gets interesting: Last Name in Upland, Claremont Craft Ales, and — the genuine oddity — Innovation Brew Works, a student-run teaching brewery on the Cal Poly Pomona campus. If a taplist matters more than a taproom, Yard House at Victoria Gardens runs the biggest draft wall in the city.
