Innovation Brew Works - Pomona, California

My wife and I stopped in for one beer. I tried the Brethren Belgian and it was fantastic! She had the Blonde and was a very good beer too. Needless to say we stayed for several more beers and a Bubba Pizza. We both ordered a beer flight and did not disappoint! They’re doing a great job with the beer and I wish I lived closer. The staff was amazing and and friendly and made us feel right at home. Thanks for a great evening.

Family friendly brewery. One of the few breweries I've been to that serves quality food. My favorite beer is the Dr. Ortiz Orange. Everyone has different tastes in beer so I recommend getting a beer flight first if you're not sure what to order. Most people like pizza with their beer but I highly recommend their sandwiches. I've had the Turkey Pesto Club and the Turkey Avocado Club. Both are really good. They make quality sandwiches. The pizza is also good. They offer a nice variety. They even have gluten free options. Good atmosphere. You can hang out there with your buddies or your family. The place is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful.

BEER BEER BEER BEER BEER oh and also their pizza is good and so is their stout brownie. Come here during happy hour for probably the best lunch on campus for the price, if you don’t mind the walk. And I really did mean it the beer is good, I like the Magic School Bus and the Ortiz Orange. 👍

Food: pretty decent pizza. Made and much like the types of MOD, Blaze and Pieology. You order a personal size and they make it.
EXCEPT: the behind the counter help need some serious help.
How? How do they give away a pizza to someone without a buzzer? They gave away my party’s pizza and told them another 5 mins. TEN MINUTES later, they had to go get their pizza.
Oh and don’t bother with the Caesar salad. It’s so not that impressive
While I’d go back for the food, I’d be super Leary of the service.
I might go back.

Loved the food, the beers, and the prices are incredible!! I have to applaud the fact that they don't charge you for a service like the rest of the places where you don't even get a server but still they want to abuse the system and their costumers. I'm verhappy with this brewery, we will drop by every week if possible😁😋💛

A friendly little brewery. Love it! The staff will let you try everything they offer. When I was getting pictures of the stills they asked me if I wanted a tour and meet the brew Master.
Indoor and outdoor seating. Plus kid friendly environment.

Phenomenal experience! Came all the way from Florida just to try this place! ... I wish! (Came for a family membe's wedding!) ... However, we're *super* glad we found it during our trip here! We ate some of the best pizza we've ever had -- and if you know us and have seen my other reviews, we're seasoned world travelers hailing from Florida, Colorado, Germany, and even South Korea during our many travels! We've tried food from all over the world, so to find some truly innovative experiences (yes, I went there - pun to the shop name!) ... is an incredibly enjoyable experience!

We tried about 6 different flavors - including a pastrami (complete with pickles and mustard ... yes, on pizza!) and a "create your own" with nearly all the meats and a smattering of green stuff that the wee one actually asked for on his plate! (Props!) Also tried this week's special - an awesome Avocado BLT on freshly baked Ciabatta (drool!), a "Rustic" and a Caesar salad, some buffalo and BBQ wings, aaaaaaaand I *think* that's it! Yeah, there were a *TON* of us there so we figured it's time to go big or go home! Haha! Even with all of that, it was only around $140 bucks and everyone left SUPER satisfied with leftovers to spare!

Oh yeah, the beers! 🍺 Haha! So I ordered a flight (just a few oz each) of four different styles, all fantastic: (1) A Belgian style witbier made with orange zest from the oranges grown right here on the Cal Poly Pomona Campus (how awesome is that?!), (2) a fruited kettle sour (try one sometime if you never have -- it's quite the experience!), (3) a refreshing saison, and lastly my favorite of the four -- (4) Bronco Brown. This last beer wasn't on their online menu since taps probably rotate out here as fast as you can imagine at an on-campus brewery (!!), so it was quite a pleasant surprise. Bronco Brown is an amazingly smooth brown ale with just the right amount of delightful notes of peanut butter without tasting like you just took a bite of a PB&J. Another fantastic experience I'd get by itself in a pint glass if they still have it next time I visit!

Lastly, I shared a Pint of their "Storey's Stout" with some vanilla ice cream and made "Real Beer Floats" for the fam. Yes, *real* beer, as in the actual leaded stuff, not *root* beer. If you liked root beer floats as a kid and love dark beers, try the adult version with your favorite stout or porter! This Storey's Stout was fabulous in its own right - another one that I'd gladly enjoy a pint of on another visit! But then if you mix it with some vanilla ice cream, you've now transcended to "Beer-vana!" Haha!

Well, thanks for sticking around for the read! Do yourself a favor and visit this place next time you're in Pomona.

Cheers, mates! 🍻
