Westlake Village's Home Field: Local Craft Beer Favorites

Westlake Village and the Conejo Valley are home to a strong lineup of local breweries. When building your ultimate craft beer Dodgers fans Westlake Village fridge lineup, we recommend tapping into these nearby spots for fresh, high-quality, and game-ready brews.

The Winning Lineup: Light and Hoppy Beers

For a typical Southern California game day—whether you're at home or watching at a local spot like Tavern 101 Grill & Tap House (Agoura Hills, CA)—you need something that can battle the heat and the tension of a close game. These styles are the MVPs of game-day drinking:

Pilsners and Lagers: These are the essential long-game beers. They're clean, crisp, and won’t fatigue your palate, regardless of the inning. Look for brews from local spots like Westlake Brewing & Libation or one of the excellent lagers from a nearby favorite. Their simplicity makes them the perfect canvas for hot dogs and nachos.
Session IPAs: You want the flavor of an IPA without the high alcohol content. A Session IPA delivers those juicy, citrusy hop notes but keeps the ABV low (typically 5% or less), making it ideal for a doubleheader or afternoon game.
Classic Pale Ales: A well-balanced American Pale Ale strikes the perfect middle ground. It offers a moderate bitterness, a smooth malt backbone, and enough character to satisfy serious craft beer Dodgers fans. Check out offerings from Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. (which has a taproom right in Westlake Village) or 14 Cannons (a production brewery nearby) to find their take on this classic style.

The Closer: When the Game Gets Tense

Sometimes the game calls for a beer with a bit more punch, perhaps for a night game or to calm your nerves in the 9th inning.

West Coast IPA: Bold, piney, and aggressively bitter. A high-ABV West Coast IPA is the perfect "closer" beer when the Dodgers are sealing the deal. These punchy brews are a SoCal signature.
Hazy IPA: For those who prefer a smoother, fruit-forward flavor, a Hazy IPA is a great alternative. The lower perceived bitterness and tropical notes make it a treat to finish the game with.
