Craft Breweries & Wine Tasting

Big Bear's craft beverage scene has grown into a genuine highlight of the mountain experience. Several breweries and tasting rooms dot the valley, each offering a distinct atmosphere and locally inspired selections that pair perfectly with a day in the mountains.

Big Bear Lake Brewing Company anchors the scene with a rotating lineup of craft beers brewed on-site, from crisp pilsners to robust stouts. The taproom is a popular gathering spot with a laid-back mountain vibe. Barrel 33 offers an upscale wine and cocktail experience with a curated wine list, craft cocktails, and a bistro-style menu featuring local ingredients.

Most tasting rooms are clustered near The Village, making it easy to walk between spots and sample a range of offerings. Many host live music on weekends, trivia nights, and seasonal events. For groups staying at one of our properties, a brewery and tasting tour makes an excellent evening activity — no need to venture far from your cabin.
