The take
The Take
The Vibe
State 48 Funk House Brewery presents a focused, beer-first personality that foregrounds sourness, wild yeast and barrel contact. The writing positions the taproom as intentionally selective — not chasing mass-appeal IPAs but leaning into the barnyard, leather and tropical notes associated with mixed fermentation and Belgian-influenced styles. That discipline gives the place a quietly confident, neighborhood feel: it sits within a West Valley scene that has been quietly developing its own fermentation identity. Guests who appreciate complexity and experimentation find the atmosphere rewarding; the experience reads less like a mainstream taproom and more like a specialist outpost for adventurous beer drinkers.
Best For
This is best for adventurous drinkers and groups who want to explore funk-forward beers together. The brewery’s tap-list architecture places wild ales, saisons and barrel-aged sours at the center, making it a destination for people who come specifically to taste mixed-fermentation work rather than to chase familiar mainstream styles. It also fits casual celebrations and neighborhood after-work hangs: the menu’s food anchors — like burgers and fish & chips — give approachable pairing options for those who prefer to eat while sampling. In short, it serves local regulars, small groups and anyone curious about sour and barrel-aged beer.
Ordering Tips
Approach the bar with an openness to tasting: the brewery’s own description stresses that cleaner styles often function as entry points to its funk-forward core, so start with a milder pour if you’re new to mixed fermentation. Ask the staff for a sampler flight to compare farmhouse ales, saisons and barrel-aged sours side by side; their tap-list architecture is designed for that kind of progression. If you’re sharing, the State 48 Burger or Beer Cheese Burger and the Fish & Chips are obvious food companions that let you settle in while exploring the more challenging, sour and wild-fermented offerings.

Restaurant context
How it compares in Glendale
State 48 Funk House Brewery is the practical choice when beer, group ease, and casual energy matter more than a composed dinner. Salt Tacos y Tequila is the better call for a tequila-led night, while The Lola fits groups looking for more of a nightlife-leaning room.
For value and booking ease, this sits closer to Thirsty Lion than to Nineteen 86 Steakhouse. Choose Thirsty Lion when the group wants a broader pub-style default; choose Nineteen 86 when the occasion calls for a more formal steakhouse setting.
The Vig is the better cross-shop if ambiance is the main deciding factor. State 48 Funk House Brewery wins when the point is a relaxed brewery format that can handle casual Glendale plans without much friction.
