Ventura, officially the City of San Buenaventura, is the county seat of Ventura County, California, United States. European explorers encountered a Chumash village, referred to as Shisholop, in Ventura while traveling along the Pacific coast. The eponymous Mission San Buenaventura was founded nearby in 1782 where it benefitted from the water of the Ventura River. The town grew around the mission compound and incorporated in 1866. The development of nearby oil fields in the 1920s and the age of automobile travel created a major real estate boom during which many designated landmark buildings were constructed. The mission and these buildings are at the center of a downtown that has become a cultural, retail, and residential district and visitor destination.

Great small batch organic brewery near the beach in downtown Ventura. The beers were more Belgium style with a good selection on tap and a better selection in the beers-to-go menu. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about the beers and the brewing process. The atmosphere is causal and the variety of food trucks is good. If you are looking for a great spot to chill out and drink a organic beer- check out Leashless Brewing.

7/25/2020 Saturday morning in Ventura, the fog is lifting and the sun is beginning to peek through. We ventured over to our favorite watering hole on Thompson Blvd. With the current County changes back and forth, they have been closed, opened and closed again for serving brews at the tap room. Now with the collaboration with Tony's Pizzaria (a few doors down) and other food trucks, they are able to open again for dine out and serving their good brews. We are "hop-heads", so we ordered their very good IPA "Chief Peak" as usual. Other brews for suggestion are the Level Line Pale Ale for those who want just a refreshing beer not too hoppy or Tux Nitro Milk Stout for those who want a sweeter dessert chocolate tasting pint. They also have hard seltzer for you non-beer drinkers. We love the intimate and friendly establishment. The staff is amazing and feel like good old "friends" that would come over to our backyard cookouts. They are dog friendly!!! Lots of pooches from all walks of the canine world visit. Since it was a Saturday, the food of the day was Tony's Pizzaria. My husband and I enjoy their pizza because it is the "good old days" California/New York style pizza. No frivolous toppings, just good old familiar toppings like pepperoni, sausage, even Anchovies!!. Their Hawaiian Pizza is DELICIOUS!! You can order by the slice or by the pie! They also have salads for you vegs out there! It was a nice afternoon with good brews and pizza and good "friends". So come by and drink a pint and support your local brewery. Wear a Mask and help slow the Spread!

The best brewery and the best beers! I love this place. The atmosphere is always very relaxing and casual. The beer selection although not big is fantastic. Imagine the In-n-Out menu for beers. The brewery is awesome but the downtown tasting room on the pier is amazing. Do not miss MadeWest brewing.
