Strum Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in Ontario CA)

Strum Brewing Company sits smack‑dab in downtown Ontario, California, and it does exactly what it claims – it mixes solid craft with a good dose of camaraderie. The lineup reads like a cheeky catalogue of a well‑travelled barfly: bold Mexican lagers that could make a sombrero weep, sours that flirt with fruit in the most respectable way, and the headline act, a Strum‑A‑Rita seltzer that tastes like a margarita on a summer beach without the sunburn.

The place runs events with the gusto of a small‑town festival. Vinyl Nights spin classics while the crowd sways, and the 80s theme parties make anyone over 30 feel like they’ve discovered time travel. Live tunes from Andrea Castiano add a soundtrack to the proceedings, and the patio offers a cozy perch for anyone who prefers air to walls. Inclusivity isn’t a buzzword here; the brewery proudly supports the LGBTQ+ community, making it a safe haven for all who wander in (the resident cat, Nugget, is arguably more sociable than many bartenders).

Quality and friendliness are the twin pillars of Strum, and whether you’re chasing a refreshing seltzer or a complex sour, you’ll leave with a grin and perhaps a new appreciation for a brew that knows how to have fun without pretension.
