Dragon's Tale Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Montclair CA)

Dragon’s Tale Brewery in Montclair, California, proudly holds the title of the town’s first microbrewery, and it wears the badge with a wink. The place stitches myth and brewcraft together, delivering drinks that feel more like a spell than a simple pint. Their flagship, Errant Ale, is a Belgian‑style wit infused with butterfly‑pea tea—pretty enough to make a botanist blush, yet bold enough to satisfy anyone who thinks “hoppy” means “over‑the‑top.”

Beyond the taps, the venue doubles as a community hub, hosting D&D campaigns, live music sessions and even yoga classes (yes, you can stretch while sipping a perfectly balanced IPA). A flight of sixteen distinct beers lets you wander from fruity summer sippers—real fruit, not artificial garnish—to darker, more contemplative brews without leaving your seat. The menu also boasts Bourbon Squares, hand‑made chocolates soaked in premium spirits, proving that dessert can be as adventurous as the beer list.

The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and eager to explain why the rotating selection changes more often than a fashion trend. Ample seating, board games, and a genuinely kid‑friendly environment make the brewery feel less like a pretentious craft temple and more like a whimsical gathering spot for anyone who respects a good pint.
