These photos were taken Saturday afternoon, June 1, when my friend Phil and I headed to Long Beach to attend Trademark Brewing’s 5th anniversary celebration. Sorry for the delay, but I had some out-of-town guests that I can only suggest have been a bad influence over the past few days; but that is what friends do, right?

I have only been to Trademark once before, and that was back in 2021, which means we were in the middle of our COVID lockdown and no one could go inside to drink. I was allowed to go in (since there was no one else in there) to grab some photos, but this was the first time I saw the location with consumers inside and the tap handles actually in use.

While their taproom is approved to hold almost 300 people, they did not have more than maybe 150 while we were there. Between the taproom and the outdoor patio, I would guess they could handle upwards of 500 people.

The event featured a couple food trucks (Shady Grove BBQ and Arenita), line dancing lessons, a mechanical bull, and the release of their anniversary beer, 5th Rodeo; a triple dry-hopped West Coast IPA.

Trademark Brewing is located at 233 E. Anaheim Street in Long Beach. They are open Monday through Thursday from 4:30 to 10:00 PM, Friday from 3:00 to 11:00 PM, Saturday from noon to 11:00 PM, and Sunday from noon to 9:00 PM. Cheers!
