As mentioned by the other reviewer, Noble Ale Works is made easier to find by the fairly large silo outside. Once you find the place, there's plenty of parking available.

Inside, there is a main tasting room, plus some extra space in the brewery with a few tables for when the tasting room gets crowded. There's a big screen TV for sports (basketball, in this case). They were fairly busy and didn't seem to advertise flights, so I just ordered a pint of their English 202 pale ale. The beer was a good example of the style, but I didn't love it. Overall, its hard to judge an entire brewery's beer selection based on one beer, though. Everyone else seemed to be enjoying their beers, though.

Noble Ale Works is fairly obscurely located in a light industrial park near Disneyland, Angel Stadium, and Honda Center. Fortunately, the tall steel grain silo outside helps to distinguish this otherwise plain white rectangular building from many similar buildings nearby, all surrounded by parking lots. A simple entrance next to a large roll-up garage door leads to the tasting room. This is a good sized room with pale green walls, very high ceilings, a concrete floor, a decent sized stainless steel topped bar with padded stools, and a number of glass topped barrels on end with tall folding chairs. One TV was on (with sound) showing a football game on our visit.

An adjacent room has a couple outdoor plastic tables and chairs, all in the same space as the new brewery (brewing up to now has been at Dale Bros. Brewery). This is also a large room painted white with a brown polished concrete floor outfitted with several large floor drains. Here you will find a stainless steel brew kettle, mash tun, and five fermenters; it’s quite spacious and there’s plenty of room for expansion.

There were five Noble Ale Works beers on tap plus Dale Bros. Oktoberfiesta on our visit: Pale Ale, Alpha Red, IPA, Knight Charger Imperial Stout, and Nobility Imperial IPA. The IPA was quite good.
