🎉 Downtown Upland Just Got a Whole Lot Tastier! 🍻🔥

We’ve got a big win for Upland — Kings Brewing Co. is officially opening its doors in downtown this Friday, July 11 at 11:30 a.m.!

📍 Location: 296 N. Second Ave. (the former home of Charlie’s Stars & Stripes)

After relocating from Rancho Cucamonga less than a year ago, Kings is ready to make Upland its new home — and they’re coming in strong. The new brewery will serve craft beer, wine, and soju-based cocktails, plus it features a full restaurant: Crazy Gringo BBQ.

Crazy Gringo is bringing the flavor with mouthwatering apps, sandwiches, and hearty plates — perfect for solo bites or sharing with friends. It’s a natural fit with Kings’ sister business, Kings Meat & BBQ Supply Co., located nearby.

To mark the occasion, Kings is rolling out three brand-new brews:

  • 🍺 Upland Pulse

  • 🍺 Upland Flex

  • 🍺 Upland Second and C

🎶 Live music? Absolutely. The new space includes a stage and a roll-up door to bring the sound right into the heart of downtown. They’re going for that “Nashville vibe,” and we’re here for it! Local favorite Kim Martin kicks things off at 7 p.m. Friday night.

👨‍🍳 And that’s not all — Kings plans to host monthly kitchen and tap takeovers with celebrity chefs and brewers from across the country. First up? Chef Tony Ramirez of TFTI BBQ on July 17.
