We’re Benny & Chelsey!
We are a husband and wife team, and we founded Benny Boy Brewing in 2022 with the mission to create an outdoor drinking experience with a strong sense of community, uniting craft beer, cider and wine lovers in one urban Backyard.
We learned from craft beverage experts all over the U.S., Belgium, U.K. and France to bring you world-class beer from Old-World traditions, and a new generation of California hard ciders we can’t wait for you to explore.
At Benny Boy, we make beer and cider the way they used to be made — with quality ingredients straight from the farm, less processing, zero filtering, and only natural carbonation. The result is cleaner, classic beer and natural dry cider.
Located in historic Lincoln Heights, minutes from Downtown LA, we are LA’s first combined brewery and cidery, and the only Tank Bar in town. We’re home to a 15-barrel production brewery, an adorable cider house, plus a huge ass beer garden to boot! We are dedicated to cute glassware, all drinking holidays, and bringing a bit of outdoor rural fun to the city.
It is an absolute honor to be a part of the craft cider revolution — rekindling America’s love affair with the nation’s historic drink of choice — and we aim to bring both craft beer and cider more into the fine dining culinary conversation where they belong.
Thanks for visiting, and we’ll see you ‘round the fire pit!

Benny’s brewing apprenticeship Brouwerij de Ranke
Dottignies, Belgium
Benny’s time there, and the beer friends/mentors we made, changed everything about the way we brew. At Benny Boy, we use 100% Old World brewing methods on modern equipment.
