LAGUNA HILLS MENU

Inspired By Things Fermented

Explore Beer

Docent Brewing’s Laguna Hills taproom on Avenida De La Carlota brings our fermentation-inspired kitchen to the heart of South Orange County. The menu leads with the Korean Reuben — pastrami, Swiss, house kimchi, and chile aioli on grilled sourdough — the sandwich that’s built a following at every Docent location, alongside the Fried Chicken Sandwich stacked with fresno chile slaw, hot honey, and house dill pickle on a challah bun. Beer braised Beeria tacos with street salsa and lime, the pork belly Docent Bowl loaded with kimchi and a deviled egg, and a wagyu Smash Burger with beer-caramelized onions round out a lineup built to pair with whatever’s cold on tap. Find us at 23301 Avenida De La Carlota, Suite C, Laguna Hills. Open daily at 11. Kitchen closes at 8 PM.

You may remove items for nut or dairy allergies, but no substitutions or additions. Kitchen closes at 8 PM.
