Brewyard Beer Co.

In 2015, Sherwin Antonio and Kirk Nishikawa turned a drunk promise from high school into Glendale’s first microbrewery. Since then, they've conceived a host of explosively creative concoctions to pay homage to both 19th century California lager and their respective Filipino and Japaneseroots. The Ube Wan IPA is brewed with strong ube and coconut flavors, while the Yoi Yoi, a Japanese rice lager, carries hints of Japanese "Ume" Plums and premium Koshihikari Sushi Rice. And be sure to try the Jewel City Common, a malty amber that won first place in the 2019 California Commercial Beer Competition.
