This blink-and-you’ll-miss-it gem offers a sudsy reflection of its surroundings — not the drab industrial park it’s shoehorned into but rather the verdant Oxnard Plain that surrounds it. The brewery specializes in barrel-aged wild ales and farmhouse saisons, the best of which are enhanced with fresh berries and stone fruit sourced from the Golden State. If sours aren’t your thing, monitor Casa Agria’s Instagram feed to keep tabs on sporadic IPA can releases.
But the main draw is the tap list, populated by clever spins on the familiar, such as Restraint, the brewery’s subtly sweet maple-kissed brown ale. Institution’s name is an homage to the defunct Camarillo State Mental Hospital, as are its beer names: White Walls IPA, Ratched porter and the clean, hoppy Rx Pils.Some of the greatest lagers in the country are brewed in a desolate stretch of Moorpark across the street from a dirt bike repair shop.
latimes Mmmmmmmmmm Beer good.
