LA’s Best Backyard

Wildly Inspired by international travel and an obsession with fermentation, husband-and-wife team Chelsey Rosetter and Benny Farber founded Benny Boy Brewing & Cider House in 2022 on a crazy mission to create LA’s ultimate outdoor craft drinking destination. The city's first and only combined brewery and cidery, Benny’s brings together a 15-barrel production brewery, an adorable cider house, and the city’s only Tank Bar — all centered around a huge outdoor beer garden in historic Lincoln Heights, minutes from DTLA.
 
It’s what happens here that really defines this space: beer, cider and wine lovers connecting through unique experiences, exciting flavors, and drinking traditions from around the world. Benny’s Urban Backyard has become a vibrant home for immersive events, from pop-up food vendors and cultural celebrations to live music, watch parties and multi-day festivals. 
 
At Benny’s, we make no bullshit beer and cider — with quality ingredients, less processing, zero filtering, and natural carbonation. The result is clean, classic beer and natural California cider.
 
Oh, and we throw one helluva party. Come hang with us!

The world needs more analog human contact, creative loudness, no bullshit beverages, and experiences worth leaving the house for. This is at the core of why we exist.

Unfilter Yourself.

THE DRINKS

No Bullshit Beer & Cider

Think your last beverage wasn’t highly processed? #rethink. Unlike most breweries, we tap into Old World fermentation methods to make beer and cider the old school way: unfiltered with whole flower hops, natural carbonation, and heritage CA cider apples. Instead of additives, we let time, gravity, and nature do the work. The result is cleaner beer and natural dry cider. When you’re sipping a pint straight from our tanks, you’ll get a taste of classic craft beverages made with care, patience, and tradition in mind.

THE SPACE

LA’S Backyard

The Backyard is where it’s at. It’s where you have tasty cookouts and party with your friends, where you unwind after work with a cold one, and where you spend magical nights around a crackling fire. And that’s what you’ll find here. Come and explore the Brewery (with a Tank Bar!), the Cider House (with an apple tree!), and the Backyard Beer Garden (with fire pits!). Bring a friend (or 40), get a pint straight from the tank, a cider from the barrel, order amazing food from our pop up vendors, unwind around a fire, and feel at home.
