The First Pour
Ontario International Airport Welcomes Brewery X as Its First-Ever Airport Craft Beer Partner
Southern California's fastest-growing independent craft brewery has found its first airport home, and it's pouring at ONT.
Brewery X's bar inside ONT brings the full craft brewery experience to the terminal, giving travelers a taste of SoCal's independent beer scene before they board.
Ontario International Airport has partnered with Brewery X, bringing Southern California's largest and fastest-growing independent craft brewery into the terminal for the first time. Travelers can now find Brewery X's craft beers and seltzers on tap at Rock & Brews, Cross Grain Brewhouse, Wahoo's Fish Tacos, and Jake's Bar, all operated by Delaware North throughout the airport.
For Brewery X, ONT is a first. The Anaheim-based brewery, which has grown to 76,000 square feet and produces more than 250 flavors and styles since opening in 2019, has never had an airport partner before. Its products are sold in over 500 store locations across California and Colorado, stocked by retailers including Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Total Wine, and available at California Adventure in Disneyland. ONT is a new kind of venue entirely.
For the airport, it's another step in a deliberate strategy to build partnerships that go beyond traditional advertising and create experiences worth remembering before a flight. Brewery X joins a growing list of brands that have chosen ONT as a platform, reflecting the airport's momentum as one of the fastest-growing travel hubs in the country.
“We're delighted to partner with such a prestigious brand and bring the passion and fun of the brewery to the fastest growing airport in the U.S. Brewery X has become one of the great success stories in SoCal's craft beer industry, and we believe they will be a great partner for years to come.”
Dan Cappell, Chief Commercial Officer, Ontario International Airport Authority
“We are excited to partner with ONT as our first airport. We share the same vision of creating great experiences for our customers and look forward to a long successful partnership.”
Clayton Wellbank, President, Brewery X
