Bar/Pub
The Pasadena outpost of Travis Ensling's growing company joins successful "chapters" in Long Beach and Azusa. The Pasadena branch occupies Crown City Brewery's former home atop an old loading dock. The church-themed gastropub features wood picnic tables on a covered patio, marble bar with built-in Chilldiscs to keep beers cold, stained glass logo behind taps, exposed wood beams with skylights, and wrought iron chandelier. Congregation also has a jukebox and flat screen TVs, but 32 taps draw more attention, including six that brewmaster Caleb McLaughlin produces at their Azusa facility. Turn your initial focus to Congregation beers like Consummatum Imperial IPA, Praise on Saison, and the tart Forbidden Fruit Series.
