Chapman Crafted Beer

This was such an awesome venue for my nonprofit's annual fundraiser. Very flexible as far as how you want to set things up and Jen the coordinator was helpful in answering questions and providing input along the way. Super fun and highly recommend!

Visiting from out of town and just came to explore the area and stumbled on this place. LOVE it. Great selection, clean as heck, open concept where you can see the kegs, the tanks, plenty of seating and roomy. Oh and the beer - Solid!

I've been to Chapman Brewery about 2-3 times and overall it's fine. Their IPAs and hazy IPAs are okay, but nothing that really stands out. The best beers I've had from them were at other events, not actually at their own brewery. The space itself is mostly outdoors, and even though they technically have indoor areas, they leave all the doors open so it gets cold, so definitely bundle up if you're visiting in the evening or cooler months. Every time I've been, it hasn't been very busy, which can be a plus if you're looking for a low-key spot.

We have hosted several events here and it’s been such a great experience. The event coordinator, Jen, is so easy to work with. The space is so flexible for any type of event and they’re always willing to help get your event going. While they have no kitchen, they have great connections with food vendors who are there weekly. I would definitely recommend this space for adult events.

We’ve hosted two events at Chapman Crafted, and every experience has been outstanding. The space is fantastic, Jen is amazing with coordinating and I would highly recommend.

Been a regular here for probably 7 years. Friday night was always Chapman night. Staff has always been top notch. Unfortunately, the place has been overrun with toddlers and unfit parents with FOMO. Final straw tonight - they rented the outside area out for a preschool event, and it wasn’t leave your kids at home! I’m pretty sure I drink more than the toddlers but the owner would rather have them as clients than beer drinkers.

Has really amazing choice of beer selection the west coast ipa i love here especially the double ipa and love the vibes here got nice sports tvs on and a lot of seating here definitely coming here again

Delicious beer and great service! Highly recommend for all events whether big or small!

Our beer passports brought us here and I'm so glad it did! We will definitely come back. As a fam with young kids, the hubby and I are always looking for the best breweries to grab a beer but also let the kids run around and everyone has a good time. We loved this spot, the beer was great, service was great. I loved that there was room for the kids to run around while mom and dad could just chill. Plus love how close it is to the circle. Will definitely be a spot we keep coming back to!

Nice brewery located close to the Orange Circle. They have a good amount of seating, TVs, and outdoor space (which is perfect if you have kids). Beers and vibes are good here. Sometimes they have a food truck. Great spot!

For me personally the IPAs fell a little flat on flavor. The pale was my favorite. My boyfriend got the fruity beers and I found those more enjoyable. I have had the kool kids out in town and love that beer. The tart peach wheat ale was delicious!!! Even though I have my option about the IPAs I still found beer to take home to WA with me:) Also the venue is amazing! Massive spot with so many games. If I loved here this is a hang out spot for sure!

We came in during chili fair at Old Towne Orange on a Saturday. It was packed with people, the atmosphere was so lively. The line to get beers was long but it moved rather fast. We liked double IPAs and barrel aged Stouts. The staff and crowds were so friendly. Everybody was in a good mood and we had a great time as well!

First time here, for a friend's small wedding gathering and got to try a few of Chapman's signature brews. This place is spacious and can accommodate quite a lot of people. It's interesting that they also use to have their own coffee house here as well. Tried a few of their beers ranging from a fruity blonde ale to their signature look kids double IPA which packed quite a punch at the end of the evening. My only gripe was that they have only one restroom and towards the end of the night, the wait for the restroom line got a little out of hand. Lots of games outside to keep everyone entertained. Overall, tap selection was plentiful and everything tasted great! If you're in the Orange circle area and looking for a place to chill and grab a few beers with friends, check them out.

I just had my 40th Birthday Party here and it couldn't have gone more perfect. Jen Gonzalez, the event coordinator for the brewery, facilitated the event with great communication and even better execution. I don't even think my party would have been able to happen without her cooperation and the staff's service. They were all incredibly accommodating and friendly. I had about a 150 guests and I rented the outdoor patio which was just the right amount of space. We had our own private bar and the beer options were fantastic. Our own caterers were allowed, and we pretty much were given carte blanche with the decorations and entertainment, so it felt very personal. Jen helped us plan the geography of the party and the flow of the night was very smooth because of it. All my attendees repeatedly told me how perfect the space was for the party. In fact they told me it was one of the best parties they've ever been to if not the best. I cannot rave enough about how well it went and I will never forget this evening thanks in part to Chapman Crafted and their team.

Hit the day market and loved the chill vibe.. great beer, friendly folks, and tons of dogs for our pup CRC to mingle with. My husband went for his usual IPA, I got a smooth dark beer, and we scored comfy seats among the quirky layout. Local vendors added the perfect touch. We'll be back for more tail wags and tasty pints!

I was here for the first annual chili cookoff. It was a blast.There were 15 or so cooks. A couple only entered people's choices, so judges didn't get to try theirs. They have several craft beers brewed on site. You can get them on tap or in cans to take home. They have a few TV's, games like Jenga, Corn hole and others. Food isn't served here, but they get food trucks. Being close to many restaurants, you can walk to one of them to get your food. This is a cool place to have a few brewskis with your friends.

Love going to this brewery that is close down the way from Old Towne Orange. Easy street parking as we never had a problem finding a spot. Cool and chill spot. They have a large outdoor area as well as an indoor open air spot with TVs to enjoy. Don't forget, the beer is great and love the merch! Always super nice people serving beer too. We'll be back!

Since we're locals to Orange and met @ the Circle - we could not think of anywhere else to have our Wedding Reception than @ Chapman. Jen was our Coordinator who was amazing and structured our vision to a T. She was very thorough in discussing details, provided so many options for us regarding catering & even decor! The day of the wedding, those who were Onsite accommodated our crew to make everything seamless and w/o hiccups. The bartenders were great, the food was fantastic, the beers were beer'in & our guests had a wonderful time! From a Bride standpoint who didn't invest in a wedding coordinator; Jen communicated everything perfectly and I was absolutely stress free. I can't thank her enough for helping Us, in making the vibe we envisioned for our Big Day, come to life! Salud!

Just realized it's almost been 9 years since I was last here, but we stopped by recently and things have definitely changed. Large patios now instead of the small taproom. Beers still hit the spot.

We have hosted several events here and it's been such a great experience. The event coordinator, Jen, is so easy to work with. The space is so flexible for any type of event and they're always willing to help get your event going. While they have no kitchen, they have great connections with food vendors who are there weekly.

Very nice little brewery with good tasting beer. Lots of parking behind it and there's a walking path form the public parking. All the employees were very polite. There's things to do while your hanging out. Table tops were kept clean and very nice breeze flows through and plenty of lighting. The only I thing I would like to see if possible would be food trucks because they don't serve food but there are plenty of places near by to get food.

Came here for a friend's birthday a couple years ago. This is a solid brewery. The beer was good, plenty of indoor space, a large outdoor patio with tables, games, and food trucks, and it's in a solid spot in downtown Orange, walking distance of the orange circle. I want to go on a Thursday when El Brewjo is serving food!

Chapman Crafted Brewery in our favorite Old Town Orange. Slightly off the beaten path... Chapman crafted is a local and family owned  business committed to making well crafted beers! I'm glad we found it!!! Their goal.... to create a unique beer drinking experience... I think they have my vote!!!! We had AWESOME  barbecue from PearTree Meats BBQ during our first visit. Pulled pork and brisket which was absolutely divine. We had Crispy Tacos and Carnitas from MK El Corazon de la Casa. Chapman Crafted have different concessions so please check out their website to see what's on for the day. Socalweekendwalkarounds highly recommends Chapman crafted.  Another place you must definitely check out when in Old Town Orange!

Chapman Crafted is a cute place to grab a beer and play some games!! On a Saturday night, they weren't too busy. We got a beer and grabbed some games from their game shelf. The industrial vibes were perfect for the space. Will be back!

Yummy yummy ... ya should try it out... mmm mmmm goood... get it done peeps and try it out...

Wonderful local spot with a wide selection of beers including some seltzers. Had my fiancé's surprise 30th birthday party here in the Barrel Room. Jen was a wonderful help over the months of planning, always quick to respond and very flexible and accommodating to my requests. Kat took wonderful care of us at our private bar set up in the party and I'd highly recommend hosting an event here or simply stopping by to try what's on tap.

Chapman Crafted Beer is a terrific stop for any craft beer lover. The variety of choices, and flavor profiles, distinguish Chapman's tasty brews from the swath of taprooms on the landscape. I recently produced a stand-up comedy show at Chapman. Jen Gonzalez, Chapman's proactive event coordinator, was a pleasure to work with; and helped to make the event a wonderful success.

Love this spot down the street from the Orange Circle. Not only do they have amazing beer, but the vibes are immaculate. The staff are also incredibly friendly and helpful - like I don't feel lame if I don't know a lot about beer. Service is 10/10! The ambiance on the patio is great for large groups and we've had many informal gatherings there in the past. There is also a ton of seating inside in the off chance there is bad weather. All of their beers are great but I personally enjoy their IPAs. PARKING PRO-TIP: there is usually a ton of street parking on Cypress, but if you're not feeling lucky the big public structure is a short 5 minute walk away.

Great selection of craft beer. Big open area to sit and play games like giant Jenga or cornhole. Dog friendly.

This has turned into my favorite brewery. The beer menu always has a good selection but I cannot get enough of their brown ale called Still the One. And it is my number one all night here and in my dreams until the next visit. So, I'm sure there is more delicious brews you may like. The beer tenders are very cool and helpful making a suggestion and friendly. They have four packs on most and can always fill up a growler for you to go. There are two rooms and an outdoor area to hang out with a group a couple or even solo, you will have fun no matter. Friendly environment and tvs showing sports games. Either BYOF or they have rotating food vendors on site. Omega Burger stand is a short short walk next door. All street parking and blocks away from the block. Great location, great beer, great place so best believe you will have a great time.

Nice outdoor area for families or anyone who just wants to hang out at a casual brewery. Admittedly, I'm not a big beer person, but the suggestion for the fruit ale was a good one! The staff on this particular day could have been a bit nicer, but we'll still be back!

(Tasted 06/08/21 TU @ 2:00pm): I was in the area for a business meeting when as I usually did, I checked the trusted Yelp app for any breweries new to me, and luckily Chapman Crafted Beer came up only minutes away. I'm definitely familiar with many of the L.A. County breweries, but these days I rarely ventured beyond the orange curtain unless it's work-related. Would this latest "find" of exploring 5oz beer tasters be sweet as an orange, or will it chap my whistle!?

SERVICE Greeted by a friendly young woman behind the counter, she patiently gave me the rundown of their beers and easily set me up on my two flights during my time there. There was no table service (although someone came by and cleared away any empty glasses), so you had to return to the counter each time. Everything was chilling and easygoing here! PARKING (FREE) I found what I believed was a public lot behind the brewery around the corner. Otherwise, it seemed there were plenty of free parking spots along all the surrounding streets in this part of town - 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE An open interior and exterior (the patio was really nice!) setting with many tables and chairs throughout, a long counter inside where you placed your order, and minimum decorations https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=T1rvCpITTHwXbKoZlhrSXA&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw. It was family and pet-friendly, so bring them along. Plenty of natural light entered through the several openings in addition to the outdoor patio area while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. I couldn't recall any TVs, but awesome alternative & indie rock music played in the background (e.g. The Clash, The Smiths). https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=BNjwVCm3ecfYvUqW-o88_g&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL Chapman Crafted Beer was a wonderful find and would definitely return if I was ever in the area again. Sadly, I don't recall ever seeing their beers in any of the bars/restaurants or stores in L.A. County; hopefully, that will change. They sold only snacks onsite, so you were allowed to bring outside food but unsure if they had a food truck schedule. Plus, they had a Tuesday Trivia Night. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $41.00 BEFORE any discounts/tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

Well we came foe a few beers when we re into our 2nd beer and were yo told we would have to leave because a privet event was being held . No upfront info and at the end people were still being sold knowing that they can't stay . Very bad communication or signage before we come in . Not cool

I've always wanted to visit this brewery. I finally did and I wasn't disappointed. The taproom was roomy and felt like a brewery. There was also a lot of outdoor space. However, only one restroom here is criminal. I can't imagine how long of a line forms when it's busy. Now for the beer, I got a flight. None of my beers were knock off my socks spectacular but they were all very good. So much so that I wish I could have a full pour of all of them. Another thing I liked here is the big menu and the variety of beer. I'll definitely be coming back here to taste more beer.

2 beers for twenty dollars, urinate in an overflowing portolet, and wash your hands with paper towels, soap and no water. Technically, I'm pretty darn sure, that by law, it should be closed until plumbing is resolved. Great concept, but overpriced and totally unsanitary.

Lots of seating - inside and outside. There are lawn games to play with, Trivia Night events, food trucks, tons of craft beers to choose from, seltzers, televisions for your watching pleasure, and really nice service. Come for the fun to relax and hangout with friends - or meet new ones.

Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon for a pint, and impressed by the spacious patio and industrial vibe inside. Plastic furniture was a bit rickety, but they had lawn games and space for kids to run around. The IPAs they had seemed to trend hazy, and we tried a couple different ones. Solid but nothing mind-blowing. Bartenders were friendly and efficient, and we took a 4-pack of a different West Coast IPA home. Nice spot to quench your thirst with some friends if you're in Orange.

My favorite brewery around. Besides the awesome rotating brews, it's just an awesome place. First off it's right off the circle to great location. And I love the games. Bags, ping pong, jenga, plus all the board games. Service is always amazing, and all the patrons super friendly. Can't wait to go back!

Pretty nice brewery tucked away in the side streets. I probably wouldn't have found this place if my friends didn't already know about it. Because of that, the spot is not crowded at all. In fact, we were practically the only party there on a Saturday night. If you're looking for something chill and feels like you rented the entire space out, come here. Plus, it's very spacious with lots of seating. After dinner, we came by to grab some beers and play some cornhole. The string lights give a nice ambiance and we were loving all the throwback music too. I tried the POG and Pilsner, which were light. Beer usually isn't my thing, but the space was chill.

We rented out the barrel room for a welcome reception and Jen helped us make sure the event went smoothly heading into it. Jared and the rest of the service team were also professional and very helpful during the event. Would definitely recommend for any event.

Been a regular here for probably 7 years. Friday night was always Chapman night. Staff has always been top notch. Unfortunately, the place has been overrun with toddlers and unfit parents with FOMO. Final straw tonight - they rented the outside area out for a preschool event, and it wasn't leave your kids at home! I'm pretty sure I drink more than the toddlers but the owner would rather have them as clients than beer drinkers.

Just hosted a baby shower at Chapman Crafted and it was a major success. If you're looking for a venue for your next party this is a great place! From the spacious indoor/ outdoor layout to the friendly staff. They also have a variety of beers and seltzers which all our guests enjoyed. Thanks again Jen for all your help!

Chapman crafted is a great place to have a party or event. Everything is very organized and the staff is helpful/friendly. We will definitely be back for more good times and cold beers!

I went for trivia and loved that experience. The beer was good but, not excellent. I usually go for a triple or double IPA. The service was nice. The ambiance is super chill. I can't wait to come when it's cold.

Great place just off the circle. Dog & family friendly :) It doesn't seem to ever get overly crowded but the vibe is still fun! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, come have a beer!

My group hosts an even here every year. It is an easy place to park near, get in and out of, and the bar is easy to order at as well. We love it. We will be back. Thanks to Jen for her help making booking super easy and stress free.

Recently had a great time at Chapman Crafted, talked with one of the Owners Randy who's extremely personable and an all around great guy. My good friend Charlie and I sampled a few, brought some to friends and picked up a couple of CCB caps! My friends enjoyed the chilled brews I brought them, and I'll be back.

Great ambiance, I watched football and a cover band, lots of space indoors and outdoor. Family friendly outside had heaters and games like big Jenga and corn hole.

Wonderful. The people, the location, the beer. What a wonderful addition to the city and to my trip. Had not been to orange in prolly 10 years to visit the army navy store my buddy used to work at so really happy to see the city thriving and the local businesses still in tact. Had two beers, a pilsner and rotating brown. Both were great and we sat outside under the sun drinking on a barrel. I should have bought a t shirt. Next time.

Such a great spot, close to the circle and a great venue to hang out with a group. They seem to always have something happening :). We will be back!

I decided to come here finally. They have an interesting menu and there are several tvs and tables to sit down. You can get a glass or have a flight. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a drink. The service is great and. The people are kind and helpful.

This place has always gave friends and myself a great opportunity for fun and memories. The beer selection is solid and good variety of all types of people. A good starting place before going to other places in the area for food or drinks. They usually have a food truck on site which is pretty good always. Good options to sit inside or outside- lots of space! Highly recommend for beer fans!

This place is a nice fun brewery. Very family and pet friendly. They have seating outside and inside with yard games available for all. Coffee and beer and setters available there and some to go. Different food tuck like options come thru. Call for what is available that day. Close to Omega burgers so you can grab something from there if you're not enjoying the options available.

5 stars! We hosted my husband's 50th birthday party at Chapman crafted and they did not disappoint. Jen, the event coordinator, was super friendly, organized, prompt and helpful. I had many questions and she had the answers. The day of the event, the staff had the Barrel room cleared out for us and helped us with the tables and TVs. They were all very friendly and continued to smile and clear excess glasses throughout the event. At the end of the night, the tab looked well calculated and organized (we chose to host the bar and used wristbands). We packed up our stuff and went on our way. Everyone at Chapman Crafted helped to create an awesome experience for my husband's 50th birthday! Thank you!

Love the ambiance! My buddies and I grab beer and play ping pong here. Would recommend!

I liked the selection, zodiac series was a great and enticing concept. The space was awesome especially with the old school games on the side. Good for big parties. The only issue I had was the beers did not come out ice cold.
