Sour Cellars Barrel Room

This cervecería have vintage atmosphere and chill energy. Hight quality craft beers with rich flavors and perfectly balanced and variety of options that catered to all tastes. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about their craft, making excellent recommendations based on our preferences. If you’re looking for a place with amazing beer, a great vibe, and excellent service, this is it.

If you like sours, I recommend trying this place. First time I went there, I tried a flight to taste as many sour beers as I could and they were all great. Then the person there (I'm assuming owner?) told me they were working on some mead that they were going to release in the future. I came back today to see if they had any mead and they did (3 options). They also had wine. All good. The vibe there is a bit gothic and no TVs (watched a basketball game on phone) but the drinks were great. Coming back.

My husband and I decided to check out this place to support local businesses. Even though we’re not big fans of sours, we thought we’d give the tasting flight a try—and to our surprise, we really enjoyed it! The atmosphere is charming with its Victorian style, relaxed music, and great vibes, making it the perfect spot to unwind. It was a lovely, laid-back setting for conversation while sipping on the unique sour flights. Our bartender was friendly and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. We had a wonderful time and can’t wait to come back to explore more of their selections!

Outstanding brewery. Amazing atmosphere and even better beer. If sours are your forte, you must give this place a try. Try the Bumble Puppy - it won’t disappoint.

AWESOME! I think it is the best place I've ever been. I'm trying to remember something better, but I can't find it, this is the place. Everything, the facilities, the taproom, the beers and mead, next time I'll try some wine.

Amazing sours! I haven’t found a brewery with better sour beers in all of Southern California

Absolutely love this epic (almost) sours-only brewery and taproom! They have a huge selection of truly delectable sours, ranging from mixes of various barrel-aged beers to specialty-crafted pure sours with unexpected flavors. My favorites are the Adrift and the Pyrotechnic Pleasantries. I highly recommend trying out the flights on your first visit to become acquainted with the wide variety of pours available. Can’t recommend this super unique and fun brewery enough!

I love sour cellars . Whenever I’m in Rancho I stop by for some of their wonderfully made sours. They clearly take pride in the painstaking method of sours and the blending process. They offer flights, full pours and takeaway bottles. And the vibe is chill and very much Mike a cigar lounge. This place turned me onto the traditional process employed in sour making.

Very cool low-key spot. Cynthia was very welcoming and helpful with the menu as it was our first time there. Enjoyed all the sours that I had ordered.

Took my BF for a pub crawl. We decided to give sour cellars a try, which serves wine, mead and beer. Sour cellars is an industrial park on the outside, but once inside you're in the haunted mansion, with lavish antique furnishings. The music was on point, and my BF was asking for the playlist. They have snacks, but not a kitchen, so you'd have to bring your own food. Ice cold beers, we're perfect on a hot summer day

Service was amazing and if you like sours, this is the place to go! Cynthia served us and was kind, very knowledgeable too. Definitely coming back again soon

Sour Cellars is probably one of my favorite breweries. If you enjoy good beer and sour stuff, I can guarantee you'll love it here. The atmosphere to me is kind of vintage, it's pretty cool! I personally find it super relaxing and the couches are really comfy, it's the perfect place to enjoy a beer. The service is always great. I've only ever seen the owner serving and she's always super friendly and has some great suggestions. As for the beer, it's awesome. We recently had the Ladida and wow was it good! Definitely blueberry heavy in the best way! Can't wait to come back for more and try something new!

This is a very unique place to take any friends or relative from out of town that like sour beers, just there again recently and have expanded into Meads and regular beers.

First time here was back in July 2017 so we decided it was time to come back. Stopped by on 11/30/24 with my friend - we're both fans of sour beers, it's the first thing we look for on menus so this place is definitely a must. Decor and ambiance is still the same which is great because there's nothing better than consistency. Drinks are great! We ordered a flight and the Goldfinch mead. Mead was delicious. Come check this place out.

Ambiance and mood was chill, will definitely go back in the future. Outside food was allowed.

For me, these drinks were definitely something new. Foxed, bellywengins, humble puppies, and Darkle were on this flight. Every glass had a distinct kick and were fantastic. The staff was courteous and very educated. The setting was distinct, cozy, and clean. I'll come back to sample more of their drinks!

Great selection, very knowledgeable and friendly bartender. The vibes of the place are great too, the inside just feels like you've walked into a speakeasy, very laidback.

Cool vibe. Wallpaper for royalty! The staff super friendly. Oh and did I mention the beer. We had flight 1 and 3 from the sours. All very tasty and such a pleasant ambiance. We ate before coming, as no food. But that ended up perfect - plenty to drink. They also had a wine and mead list fyi. Try it you won't be disappointed

Great sour beers. Vibe is nice and dark. Some games available. But over all a good place to sit and drink

Excellent sour beers. Inside looks like medieval castle. Very chill vibe. Service was nice, will be back. They really put a lot into their beer making.

Found this place while in the area browsing breweries on Yelp, reviews were impressive so my sister and I decided to stop by. Ok love the vibes in here!! It didn't feel haunted despite the Victorian decor, energy was great & chill. Perfect for a date night! Music was mellow & the bartenders who I think are the owners were extremely informative & nice. You can tell they put a lot of thought behind their craft. It's definitely worth trying, they have a lot of interesting yet tasty sours. They also had a food truck outside. Definitely support this local business and give them a visit!

This place is out of their mind with their taproom decor. It's beautiful. Very cool vibe in there. Felt like I should be in the middle of a murder mystery. Anyway, now for the beer. I split a flight with my wife. We were brewery hopping the beer here is high in ABV. I'm not big on beer that's barrel-aged but I already knew what I was getting into. However the beer was fantastic. I had a blast tasting all the flavors and notes in the beer. The owners of this space should be proud of what they've put together.

Interesting/unique setting and several tasty beers. I'm not a huge sour fan, my buddy is, that's why we went. He enjoyed the sour beers, I enjoyed an ipa and a taster of one of the sours (that was all my pallet needed). Went on a quiet night, more people would have livened up the place.

Love this place. The atmosphere is beautiful and the people are lovely. Every beer I've tried is delicious and unique. Highly recommend.

The spot is very laid back with a variety of sitting designs to use. During my visit there were dogs, so looks like it is a pet friendly place. Surely I enjoyed some glasses more than others but that can just be a personally preference. I really enjoyed #2 and #3. I did get to try drink #3 (bellywengins) in its two forms and both were really good but pomegranate syrup was my preferred. The woodruff syrup is almost like a sour green apple flavoring. Overall a nice space to check out if you are into sours.

Walk in and take a trip to the Victorian ages. While there is no food, the service and drinks are excellent. The ambiance also makes you feel like you time traveled back in time. Cheers

I love sours, so I had been dying to try this place. The weather was nasty outside so my two friends and I were the only ones there during my visit, but I loved it because we were able to converse with the owner and learn more about the brewery. I personally loved all their sours, even the darker ones and I'm not a fan of those. You can get a flight to test out the ones you want and while you enjoy your flight you can play some of the games they have. They also have snacks for sale if you get hungry.

Sour Cellars has the most unique ambiance I have ever experienced inside of a brewery; think 1800s saloon meets 1930s speakeasy. It is warmly inviting and intimately charming all at the same time. As a fan of sour beer, I was looking forward to coming here, and I was not disappointed. I started with one of the suggested flights, and then had a full glass to finish. Sour beer is something that is very easy to do badly, but here, they are killing it. There were only a couple of other people here for most of my visit, so it was very quiet, which I don't mind one bit. My bartendress for my visit was one of the owners, and she was extremely attentive, and also knew her beers. Next time I find myself in Rancho Cucamonga, I would be surprised if my car didn't get a mind of its own and steer me back to Sour Cellars!

I'm not a sour beer person but this place is great! They have non-sour options and the vibe, atmosphere, and employees are just lovely. It's in a sort of industrial area so the fact that they have a warm and welcoming space is great!

Great local craft brewery. Cool, comfortable vibe in the tasting room and neat to be able to peak back into the brew room, as well. I tried a flight and all 5 were unique and enjoyable. Staff (the owner/founder, I believe) was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the brews. Definitely check this place out! If you're a fan of sours, this place is a real gem. If you haven't seen the sour light yet, they've got a few non-sour options available for you, too, until your eyes are opened to the glories of sours.

If you are looking for unique beers, great customer service and a amazing looking interior then look no further!! I love the atmosphere here it's very unique!

such a cute spot! little hidden area and perfect for your friends and pooches with some nice sours

Best brewery ever. These sour beers have exquisite flavor and mouthfeel. They're silky smooth like Cantillon. The owners Bryan and Chintya are very kind and wonderfully inventive in sourcing high-quality and delightfully surprising ingredients including but not at all limited to jackfruit, jujube (Coqcigrues is among my absolute favorites), ginger, orange blossom, passion fruit, vanilla, and interesting varieties of grapes and cherries. They have also released some excellent small experimental batches (durian, kumquat, rambutan). The non-fruited sours like Bellywengins are top notch as well (add a splash of Waldmeister syrup to it to transform it into an intriguingly novel experience). The dedication of Sour Cellars to the craft in how they patiently and discerningly age their beers for years is really evident once you have a taste. They also have a cool aesthetic in how the beers are named, the curious label art, and the Victorian themed tasting room.

If you love sour beer or unique experiences, I'd bookmark Sour Cellars now. While I may not be the biggest fan of sour beers, I'm definitely a fan of trying new things. I stopped by Sour Cellars while brewery hopping with a group of friends through the Rancho Cucamonga area. Sour Cellars was number 2/5 on our brewery adventure, and was probably one of the most memorable stops. Not only does the beer leave you feeling like you ate an entire bag of Warheads, but the brewery also offers an eccentric atmosphere that will make you want to fetch a cigar and Hugh Hefner slippers. The atmosphere is on the darker side (definitely not picture material) and offers a sense of secrecy and mystery - similar to the feeling of a speakeasy. The furniture has an antique feel, with large plush velvet seating and wooden finishes. In the back towards the right is a giant cellar holding the brews, and creating an overall authentic experience.

If you are not a fan of sour beers, you might as well pass on Sour Cellars, which will work well because then the non-sour beer people won't be mucking up this lovely establishment! First I am a big lover of sour beers. My wife, well...not so much on the sour beers. Sour Cellars is in the typical little industrial park and very easy to find. The interior is beautiful with a very old world, luxurious feel to it. Very comfortable, cool, and welcoming. We walked in and there were only two other people in the place. We received a warm welcome from the young lady behind the bar who set us up with two flights. They had twelve beers on tap, with a few more in bottles. Most of the beers on tap are also available in a bottle to go. I'm not going to review each beer individually as I just don't have the attention span left after sampling all of them... Wait what was that? Squirrel! Uh, ok, anyway...My favorites were the Bellywengins, a Berliner sour with an optional Waldmeister Getrankesirup which is added to the glass before the pour. This results in a beer which closely resembles a green apple Jolly Rancher in color and the taste is pretty close as well. Now some will think that sounds nasty, me included at first, but this was actually one of my preferred beers. Another that stood out was the Darkle, a dark sour aged in second use whiskey barrels. There was a lot going on here and you could definitely smell and taste the whiskey...works for me! Sour Cellars is well worth the trip. Great atmosphere and really good sour beers! Get off your ass and go taste some excellent sour beers! Please, follow my brewery reviews from across the U.S. and beyond! https://www.yelp.com/collection/-8iscFkpiiCI563-FDfwGg?utm_content=Collections&utm_source=ishare

Of the speakeasy look. Lot of sours to pick from, has a great selection. customer service is great. Love the ambiance and we will be back

To start off; the decor is the best I've EVER seen in a brewery. Nothing even rivals how nice this place looks. From there literally every single sour was the best I've ever tried. Not trying to be biased by the decor either haha. I rated them 1-5 based on the flight and even my 5th least favorite wasn't bad at all. It's just that the ones with the peaches, nectarines, and the passion fruit. Aside, the stouts were absolutely exceptional and would even recommend those. Everything is brewed in house and they do a darn good job at it. Truly a hidden gem in the this city gotta check it out people.

I could easily become a regular at this place and be pretty happy about it. They've got a cool interior - huge retro couches and they've got some prebuilt flights to get you started. I had two of the flights and everything was fantastic - some really unique flavors (and colors!)

Very unique spot to kick back and have a brew. Sour beers are very good. Atmosphere is cool... Definitely good place for a date.

I am not a beer drinker. But I can appreciate taste! Small brewery in Ontario in an industrial area. Sour beers had something about fruit and tea-like taste for me. We tried both flights to see what draws out those sour tastebuds. I am a fan of pomegranate, the brandy, and nectarine sours. They tasted like my teavana teas. So I was well pleased. For sour beer drinkers, this is something worth trying.

If you like sours this is a good place, has an interesting interior. Could use some fresh air, has a bit of a smell to it. All in all the the beer selection was good, obviously the best and only place dedicated to sour beers. I think the flights of beer were $17 for 5 different 4 ounce pours. It's worth a stop by if your out checking out the local breweries.

So you like sour beers? This is THE spot in Southern California. No, I'm not joking. I'm not pulling your leg. This the real deal! This is next level brewing. They're harvesting "free range" yeast in the summer, effectively creating their own strains and aging the beers for up to 24 months! We can't go here for a few weeks in May 2019...why you ask? Oh no big deal they are taking their beer to Denmark and Italy to challenge some of the worlds oldest breweries that specialize in sours! The faves: - Spout - 5.4% abv - Golden sour ale re-fermented with red raspberries and Tahitian vanilla beans - Jammiest Bits of Jam - 5.5% abv - Golden sour ale re-fermented with boysenberries

Good low key hang out spot during Covid season ... it was a good environment setting a bit dated as if I was in Italy so it was a bit cool different than other breweries... the server was great, very sweet and good experience ! Reason for the 3 star it didn't smell great when I walked in .... it smelled like dirty wet socks that were sitting there for a week ... I'd give them a 3.5 to be honest .... restroom was clean and great service 4 star for this place. I like sweet sours but it was good to test but I would recommend to come here if you're on a date something to try out !!

Are you a Sour Beer drinker? Are you around the Los Angeles area? Then Sour Cellars needs to be in your lineup for brewery visits! Family owned and operated, Bryan and Chintya do a great job on their beers and also their tap room. Old school vintage wallpaper and decor make up their tap room with comfortable couches and tables for seating. On the back wall is a vintage piano as well. Very cool! I have visited their brewery and tap room twice now and both times have had a World Class experience. They are dog friendly and very inviting with a brewery tour if you have time. I am looking forward to the day they distribute to Arizona! No wonder their brews are above a 4.0 out of 5.0 average on Untappd.

This place is the hidden gem of Rancho Cucamonga. My fiancé introduced us to it after he stumbled upon it on Google looking for sour beers. Sour Cellar offers 2oz. 6oz. & 12oz. options for their beers. You can get them as singles or as a flight. In our case we chose the "give me everything" option in 2oz. tasters. Here's the breakdown by flight, from favorites to least favorites. Flight 1: Jammiest bits of jam 5.1% Bellywengins 4.8% Sieve memory 11.3% Harvested 5.7% Timbers 7.0% Flight 2: Pyrotechnic pleasantries 5.9% Lemoncholy 4.5% Blenheim cloud 6.7% Darkle 10.8% Smilence 6.8% Flight 3: Sunburst 6.8% Drinkitite 6.4% No return ticket 5.9% Rampers 6.7% Pongelo 6.4% If you're a fan of sours, don't skip out on this place. The owners are a husband and wife who happen to be the sweetest people in town. A+ to them and their little business

Sour Cellars was amazing! I loved the vibe of the place and the drinks were amazing! Also the owners are some of the sweetest people I have ever met

True masters of the sour beer! Very friendly people and unique beers here. This place has taken the time to refine a special art.

Sour Cellars is such and amazing brewery. They are serious about their sours and it is very rare, not only to find a brewery that serves sours, but one that specializes in them. I wish they had a location closer to me but totally worth the drive.

True sours. This place has some of the best sours in the country. Adrift and Play Camel were the standouts but you really can't go wrong. Unfortunately I'm just visiting California because I would be a regular here if I lived close by.

I have not had a bad tasting beer from here yet. Some of the best sours I've had. This brewery is definitely at the top of my list for best breweries in California.

First time here! On my way to the desert for the perseids meteor shower and had to stop by since i live out in orange county, and im really glad i did! Great selection of fruits, bases and dry hopped selections and all their beers are barrel aged for at least one year! My friend and i both liked the atmosphere a lot, reminded me of a speakeasy with dark colors and lounge areas. Bottles to go are $17 which is very fair for year long aged beers. I had the beers on the menu that are marked and loved them all!! Plenty of parking, not too crowded and easy to find. Got some bottles for the road and will be back anytime im in the remote area, great job all around Sour Cellars!! Update! Made the drive from Huntington Beach up with a buddy today to pick up some 'Pyrotechnic Pleasantries' (strawberry golden sour) bottles. They did not dissappoint!! Seriously fantastic flavor of ripe strawberries, perfectly balanced with barrel, tartness and sweetness. Best strawberry sour Ive had and Ive had some killer ones, so cheers to Sour Cellars for raising the bar!

Truly great things take time, effort, and skill to make. The years of training and experimentation required to master a craft are often forgotten by people on the consuming side of things, but it's impossible to forget the artistry when you taste a beer brewed and blended by Sour Cellars. Their barrel room is a mixture of old-world tradition and modern science, leaning strongly towards the old traditions. All beers are both fermented and aged in wood barrels, a process which creates a depth of flavor, smoothness of texture, and clarity that is nothing short of remarkable. Each blend is carefully crafted from a variety of barrels, of differing ages and characters, in order to present the best of various attributes present in each barrel. (When fermenting and/or aging in wood, each barrel will develop a different character over time even when filled with the exact same initial recipe.) Every beer they make is wonderful, unique, and magical. No two batches can ever be exactly the same, and yet there is a consistency to the quality that makes these differences something to be treasured rather than a point of critique. Few brewers are willing to spend the time required for beers such as these; beers which are so splendid that they can be enjoyed even when they warm to room temperature require years to create as opposed to the weeks/months-long cycles for your typical "craft" beer. Their process is full of patient risks and adventurous experimentation, and the results speak for themselves. If you love beer and would like to know what the pinnacle of the art can be, look no further than Sour Cellars. Highly recommended for fans of the world-class Belgian blenderies such as Cantillon, 3 Fonteinen, etc. I'm quite sure that these drinks will hold up against such legendary competition.

Best sour beers in Cali, one of the best brewery's in Cali. The beers are the bomb, for any sour beer lover this place is a must. No TV's, no food vendor needed, just a chill spot that stands on the quality of their beer. This is my favorite brewery

Believe the hype! This is THE legit sour spot. So many distinct styles but still true to their sour roots. Plus it's cool joint, super chill vibe!

If you enjoy sours this spot is THE place to go. They have a great selection of their delicious craft sours, staff is friendly and the atmosphere is just phenomenal in a vintage cool kinda way. They offer flights so you can try a variety of their brews and sell bottles to go. Fair warning sours aren't cheap and any true sour lover is already aware of this. Only problem is due to how small they are the hours are limited.

Went by this brewery on a whim last sunday... during my own brewery tour. There wasnt much signage outside. It was in front of the industrial park so it wasn't too hard to find. When i went in, it was fairly quiet. The red curtains around gave it a slightly goth feel but not creepy. Lots of comfy looking chairs and sofas.. i sat at the bar and checked out the menu. I love that this place only has sour beers. I got talking to the owner and this place is run solely by him and his wife. And everything is brewed in small batches and fermented in barrels. It was crazy to me that he makes so many delicious beers without any of the fancy equipments n brewing things. Also they bottle everything on site. He also mentioned that all beers age over a year since they r all sour beers. I wanted to try them all but i tried 7 of their stronger beers. I loved the darkle which is sour aged in bourbon barrel. I will be back to this one for sure. Seems like a good place to drink n read a book to kill some time n relax.

Man, this place is legit. I got the flight of "everything", and wasn't disappointed by any of it. Some were definitely better than others, but that's more of a preference thing. The interior was extremely unique, and they do a great job separating themselves from other breweries. I'm not huge on sours, but I do recommend everyone to come give this new spot a shot. I'll be going back for a tour soon! Thanks to the owners, and keep up the great work and wonderful hospitality.
