About Benny Boy Brewing
Benny Boy Brewing is a brewery and cidery founded in 2022 by a husband-and-wife team with a focus on traditional brewing methods and natural cider making. What makes it stand out in Los Angeles is that it combines a production brewery, cider house, tank bar, and outdoor beer garden all in one space.
The atmosphere leans laid-back and social, with plenty of open-air seating that feels more like a neighborhood backyard than a typical bar. Guests can enjoy beer poured directly from tank systems, dry ciders made from California apples, and rotating pop-up food vendors depending on the day. The space encourages lingering conversations, casual hangouts, and after-work downtime rather than a loud nightlife scene.
What makes Benny Boy special is the thoughtful balance of craft and comfort. The brewing approach focuses on old-world techniques like natural carbonation and minimally processed ingredients, creating crisp beers and dry, food-friendly ciders. It’s also known locally for community events and a relaxed beer garden culture, making it feel like a true neighborhood gathering place.
