Rowdy's Brew Co.

Rancho Cucamonga's beer scene is small, industrial-park honest, and worth knowing. Rowdy's Brew Co. pours its own beer in a taproom on 6th Street in the city's warehouse district, which is where Inland Empire craft beer actually happens — no faux beer-hall theming, just tanks, taps, and regulars.

Expect a rotating board that covers the West Coast bases — IPAs up front, with lagers and stouts in support — and a room that welcomes families and dogs the way independent taprooms tend to. Food is the usual taproom arrangement: trucks and pop-ups, so check their socials before arriving hungry.

Pair it with Solorio Brewing on Feron Blvd and The Brewmill on Arrow Route and you've got the complete RC brewery crawl — three stops, all independent, all within a short drive.
