This place is in a freaking hangar. Location is dope and there is always a food truck with either smash burgers or tacos. It's an IPA lovers paradise. All the drinks are pretty strong so it's not for the weak. They do have Belgians and a couple light beers but The Chainsaw Bunny with berries never fails. Service is great, flights are available and the sheer look of its outdoor and indoor spots are unique. Great ambience.

We always have fun at paperback, it's a laid-back neighborhood type vibe that is unpretentious and friendly. I love sitting in the old airplane hanger and seeing the brewing vats in the background and enjoying the cold treats that came out of them. If you want food there's usually a food truck out front. The service can be slow if they're busy, but the servers are always friendly and helpful.

I was pleasantly surprised to happen upon this place today. Very quaint establishments and pleasing to the eyes, indoor interior was unique and inviting. The other patrons made this place a vibe and it definitely had the feeling of being a top go to spot for the area. I didn't taste any beer, but the ambiance alone was peaceful and enjoyable. I happened upon Paperback while visiting Bun & Basket food truck and to my surprise the brewery was right in front of it. We look forward to returning for some beer tasting soon. The two women working the bar area not one time greeted us or asked us if we wanted to try any of their beer, which we thought was odd. One man did greet us at the food truck and he said he worked at the brewery, he was friendly. Regardless, I will definitely be back for another burger.

Paperback beers have fun names and intricate comic art on their cans, and the ones we've had have all been great. They have comic-illustrated "library cards" so you can keep track of what you've tried. You can also buy cans to take home. The inside area is usually packed. There are picnic tables outside, some with umbrellas. Even at the busiest times, there's always a spot somewhere. The best part of Paperback is their partnership with Bun & Blanket smash burger truck. It's a permanent fixture outside the brewery, so you can get your fix every time you come. The best smash burgers I've ever had. To be noted: they do allow children and there are always families there. Also, parking is difficult to find in the area.

Openers: Catchy beer names, vending machines with Bunny+ chainsaw stickers*, super fab seating, dogs allowed indoors, and a food truck that has great munchies. (*bring your own quarters!) Bookended on my trip to New Zealand, we stayed right around the bend from PB and stopped here twice. There are many, many places to have a beer in LA, but why mess with a good thing? Lots of rotating beer selections of all types, and a wicked cool atmosphere. You feel like you are in a "thing" without needing to be a local to fit in.
