About Us

ISM Brewing & Kitchen is an award-winning, modern brewpub located on the Promenade between Broadway and 3rd St. Opened in Decemeber 2023, by Ian McCall, formerly of Riip Beer Co and Beachwood Brewing, ISM focuses on skillfully crafted ales and lagers. ISM was built with the Long Beach community in mind and strives to be an inclusive, welcoming and fun gathering place for locals of all ages. The kitchen at ISM is helmed by Chef Fonzy De Zuniga, formerly of Descanso in Costa Mesa. His expertise and creativity can be found in every dish, from his delicious take on carne asada loaded fries to the playful way he showcases the humble taco. The brewery is run under the watchful eye and deft hand of Head Brewer, Gene Wagoner. Within the first few months of opening the doors, ISM garnered world-wide attention by winning two Gold Medals at the World Beer Cup for their West Coast IPA and Coffee Brown Ale, as well as a bronze in the Classic Saison category. The wine list is small but thoughtfully curated and includes 4 wines on draft. Ciders, seltzers and non-alcoholic drinks are always readily available. ISM has a large, promenade-facing patio, perfect for hosting large parties, receptions, graduations, office events, and more.
