Westlake Village has a solid brewing scene, with three distinct breweries crafting their own liquids right here in town. Each has a totally different vibe, from a polished showroom to a hidden local hangout.### 14 Cannons: The Nautical Showroom14 Cannons (https://www.14cannons.com/) is more than just a taproom; it's a "brewery showroom". The nautical-inspired space is stunning, featuring a massive handcrafted copper-top bar  and reclaimed wood décor.It’s the perfect spot to relax on the patio or catch every LA sports game on their big screens. They also serve an in-house food menu with shareables like a Giant Pretzel and Chicken Pesto Sliders. Their beers are "crafted with passion" , and you can grab your favorite IPA or lager to-go in cans and growlers.### Naughty Pine Brewing Co: The Hyper-Local HangoutTucked away in an industrial park off the freeway , Naughty Pine Brewing Co. (https://www.naughtypinebrewingco.com/) is a true local secret. It has a "very intimate and family oriented feel"  that’s all about community. This is the spot for Trivia Thursday or the weekly Open Mic night. While they have outdoor seating, they don't have a kitchen. Instead, they have a "B.Y.O.F." (Bring Your Own Food) policy  and a rotating schedule of excellent food vendors like Lord's Tacos and Humble Boyz Pizza. Look for their seasonal dark beers  and flagships like the Hop Naught IPA.

### Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co: The Gastropub Powerhouse

If you're looking for a full dinner-and-drinks experience, this is it. The Figueroa Mountain Brewing Co. (https://www.figmtnbrew.com/westlakevillage) taproom is a large-scale, family-friendly  brewpub and restaurant. The best seat in the house is on the "brew deck overlooking the brewing facility". They also host live music. The menu is packed with gastropub fare , and the weekly specials like Wing Wednesday and Smashburger Thursdays are local favorites. The tap list features their award-winning core beers like Hoppy Poppy IPA  and specialty releases you can only find at the taproom. You can also grab bottles and growlers to-go. Running a full-scale operation like this is complex. We prefer to keep it simple. See /how-it-works.

## Top Crafthouses: Craft Beer Near Westlake

Sometimes you want choice. A "crafthouse" isn't a brewery; it's a restaurant that stakes its reputation on a massive, perfectly curated tap list. For finding the best craft beer near Westlake, these are your top stops.

### Finney's Crafthouse: Your "Cheers" on the Boulevard

This is "The Original Finney's". Finney's Crafthouse (https://www.finneyscrafthouse.com/) is so loved by locals, it's "often referred to as the 'Cheers' of Westlake". It has a real "hometown vibe"  and a spacious, dog-friendly outdoor patio. The main attraction is the selection of 30 craft beers on tap. Pair one with a Bison Burger  or Mahi Mahi fish tacos. The best part? Their tap list often features their neighbors. You can find beers from 14 Cannons and Figueroa Mountain right on their menu , making it a "best of" list in one spot.

### BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse: The Brewpub ClassicYes, it's a national chain, but it's a brewpub chain, and BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse (https://www.bjsrestaurants.com/locations/ca/westlake-village)) is a local fixture in the North Ranch Shopping Center. It's reliable, consistent, and you know exactly what you're getting. You're here for two things: their Signature Deep Dish Pizza  and a legendary Pizookie. Pair it with one of their own in-house beers, like the BJ's Piranha Pale Ale or the Tatonka Stout.## Worth the Short Drive: Conejo Valley FavoritesIf you're willing to hop on the 101, the "breweries Westlake Village" scene expands. These spots are just outside the city limits but are essential to the Conejo Valley craft beer experience.### Tarantula Hill Brewing Co. (Thousand Oaks)This is the T.O. hot spot. Tarantula Hill Brewing Co. (https://tarantulahillbrewingco.com/)) is a massive, lively, and award-winning brewery. The combo here is non-negotiable: a fresh Neapolitan-style pizza  followed by a scoop of their "super-premium homemade ice cream". Seriously, the ice cream is artisan-made in small batches with 18% butterfat. It’s a destination in itself.

### A Nod to a Local Legend: Ladyface Alehouse (Agoura Hills)We have to pour one out for a local legend. If you look at older guides for this area, you'll see Ladyface Alehouse & Brasserie. It was the Conejo Valley's first microbrewery  and a true pioneer. Important: As of late 2024, the brewery (which had become Tavern Tomoko and Ladyface Brewery) is permanently closed. We're listing it here so you don't make a wasted trip. It's a perfect example of why driving can be a gamble. RIP. That's the best of the local scene. We deliver from amazing breweries like these all over the Conejo Valley and new parts of LA every day. Check our /zones page to see if your fridge is in our service area. And if you're curious what's fresh, our /new-releases list is updated all the time.
