Picture this: You’ve just spent the afternoon wandering through the serene paths of Arlington Garden (https://www.arlingtongardenpasadena.org/) or touring the city landmarks with Rebecca (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtflCshAf1Y)).[1, 2] It’s the perfect end to a classic South Pasadena day. You get home, ready to crack open a cold one, and then you see it. The vast, empty wasteland of your beer fridge.



The vibe is broken. The thought of getting back in the car, navigating traffic, and standing in line for a fridge restock feels like a chore from another era. Your perfect day deserves a better ending. And let’s be honest, you deserve better beer.


## Beyond the Bottle Shop: A New Way to Buy Craft Beer in South Pas



Getting craft beer delivery in South Pasadena is easy with Brwtxt. We bring a curated selection of Los Angeles's best craft brews, from hazy IPAs to crisp lagers, directly to your door. Skip the trip to the store and let us handle your next fridge restock.



South Pasadena has some fantastic spots to buy craft beer. We’re big fans of the incredible selection at Mission Wine and Spirits  (https://hopped.com/places/mission-wine-spirits-pasadena) over in Pasadena, which boasts one of the best craft sections in the area.[3] And for sheer volume, it’s hard to beat the aisles at the Pasadena Total Wine (https://www.totalwine.com/store-info/california-pasadena/1126).[4] These places are great, but they require a mission.



A traditional beer run means planning, driving, and hoping they have that limited-release hazy IPA you’ve been dying to try. It’s a gamble with your time. We think there’s a better way to buy craft beer in South Pas. One that keeps you on the couch, by the pool, or wherever you’d rather be.

### From Pasadena's Finest to LA's Legends



We’re not just a delivery service. We’re curators. Our virtual shelves are stocked with the freshest, most exciting beers from the breweries that define Southern California's craft culture.



We bring you the local heroes right in your backyard, like:


 * cerveceriadelpueblo (https://www.cerveceriadelpueblo.com/):** This Pasadena gem crafts authentic and exotic beers using South American ingredients. Their Trópica Hazy IPA is a local favorite for a reason.[6]

(https://www.wineenthusiast.com/culture/beer/los-angeles-beer-scene/)** and the fresh, hoppy creations from the diverse and delicious local breweries. (https://thedrunkweddingphotographer.com/summerimperfect/los-angeles-breweries/)**.[9, 10] With Brwtxt, you get access to a bottle shop that’s bigger and better than any physical store.


### Navigating California's Delivery Rules So You Don't Have To



Let’s be real: California’s alcohol laws can be confusing.[11] There are specific rules for to-go cocktails, manufacturer-sealed containers, and third-party delivery services.[12, 13] But you don’t need to worry about any of that.



Brwtxt is a fully compliant service. We operate under the strict guidelines of the California ABC (https://www.abc.ca.gov/) to ensure every delivery is safe and legal. That includes mandatory ID verification for every single order, confirming the recipient is 21 or older upon arrival.[14] We handle the red tape so you can just focus on the good stuff: enjoying great beer.


## A South Pasadena Story: From Ostrich Feathers to Hazy IPAs



South Pasadena has always been a place for ambitious ideas. Back in 1886, an entrepreneur named Edwin Cawston did something wild. He chartered a ship and brought 50 ostriches from South Africa all the way to Southern California, establishing the world-famous Cawston Ostrich Farm (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cawston_Ostrich_Farm) right here in town.[15, 16]



At a time when ostrich feathers were the height of fashion, Cawston brought an exotic, high-quality product directly to the people. His farm became one of Southern California's biggest tourist attractions, putting South Pasadena on the map.[17, 18] He was an innovator who saw a need and filled it with flair.



We like to think we’re carrying on that spirit. Today, the most sought-after exotic goods aren’t feathers. They’re perfectly crafted hazy IPAs, crisp West Coast pilsners, and mind-blowing barrel-aged stouts. Brwtxt is the modern-day Cawston Ostrich Farm, bringing the best and most interesting creations from all over the region right to your doorstep. It’s a new chapter in the city’s long history of local innovation.

### How fast is your craft beer delivery?Pretty fast. Most deliveries in South Pasadena arrive within 30 to 60 minutes. That’s less time than it takes to decide what to watch, and definitely faster than finding parking in Old Town on a Friday night.


### What are the most popular craft beer styles in South Pasadena?

Californians love their hops, and South Pas is no exception! IPAs, especially Hazy and West Coast styles, are always top sellers.[19] But we’re also seeing a huge demand for crisp lagers, refreshing pilsners, and unique sours. Our selection has something for every palate.


### Do I need to be home to accept the delivery?


Yes. State law requires that someone 21 years of age or older with a valid, government-issued ID be present to accept the delivery.[14] Our drivers are required to verify age for every order to ensure a safe and legal handoff.### Can I order beers from specific Pasadena breweries like Cervecería Del Pueblo?Absolutely.

Our inventory is always rotating with fresh drops, so check our [www.brwtxt.com/new-releases] page often to see what’s new from your favorite local brewers.***
