Homage Brewing is a popular and innovative venue in the craft beer and nightlife scene of Southern California, United States. Founded in 2016 by husband and wife duo Matthew and Dylan Garcia, Homage started as a microbrewery in the Inland Empire city of Pomona, California. The original vision was to combine small-batch, mixed fermentation beers with curated experiences of food, music, and art.

Over the years, Homage Brewing has grown in both reputation and physical footprint, becoming a focal point for local creatives and beer enthusiasts alike. In 2021, the brewery expanded by opening a second location in Los Angeles' Chinatown neighborhood, occupying a stylish, minimalist space that quickly drew attention for its fresh aesthetic and welcoming atmosphere. Unlike traditional nightclubs, Homage Brewing offers a blend of taproom intimacy and the energy of club nights, frequently hosting live performances, DJ sets, art installations, and themed events that reflect the cultural diversity of Los Angeles.

Its reputation rests not just on its inventive, frequently rotating beer menu—which often honors classic styles while experimenting with bold flavors—but also on its commitment to building community. The location shift from solely Pomona to also include Chinatown has amplified its cultural significance; the downtown LA site connects the brewery to new audiences and influential artists. Homage Brewing stands out as a venue where music, visual art, and craft beer intersect, cultivating a space that feels simultaneously experimental and accessible, and serving as a stage for emerging talent as well as established names.

Notable artists who have performed at Homage Brewing include internationally recognized acts such as DJ Boring (UK), Zaida (Mexico City), and Yu Su (Canada), as well as prominent local talents like Nosaj Thing, J.Rocc, Linafornia, and Sofie (Stones Throw). The venue is also known for featuring genre-spanning selectors including Martyn Bootyspoon, Lovefingers, Daniel T., and spacious club nights curated by collectives like Late Night Laggers and dublab. This diverse lineup reflects Homage Brewing's status as a cultural incubator in both the craft beer and nightlife communities.
