![]() ![]() Since opening, Transmission has weathered the COVID storm and continued to put out a really strong lineup of beers in a gorgeous space – connected to a Toppers – with indoor seating alongside the brewery and outdoor patio seating where you can catch a whiff of sea air. ![]() Well, Transmission Brewing opened in January 2020 with a shiny new 30-barrel automated brewhouse capable of scaling to production levels that smaller breweries only dream of, a somewhat green brewer in Carey Jonker leading his first commercial project, and, most importantly, a lineup of really solid beers out of the gate. When news broke in 2018 that the Jonker family – behind local favorite pizza chain Toppers Pizza – was opening a brewery in a former auto shop, it was anyone’s guess how it would turn out. They also recently opened up a new location in the Sunset Beach neighborhood of Huntington beach complete with rooftop deck ocean views, a drive-thru beer pickup station, and all the awesome Green Cheek beer that we know and love. They’ve got a small taproom in Orange, and their Costa Mesa location also has a fantastic astroturfed patio, and a burger menu to soak up all that beer. They bring a similar balance to all of their beers, and are increasingly branching out with other new techniques, including foeder-aging and mixed-drink style beers – like, for example, a 12% ABV gin and tonic style seltzer. Green Cheek’s hazies stand out because they’ve mastered the balancing act of bright juiciness with layered depth and complexity. They consistently have somewhere around five different NEIPAs on draft. If you’re a fan of New England style IPAs, there might be no better place in Southern California for you than Green Cheek Beer Co.
