34 Best Craft Breweries near Alameda

“Over in San Francisco from Perth Australia and popped in for a couple of beers, awesome spot and great beers, staff were super friendly and even grabbed some merch, get yourselves over and support these guys and have a cracking pint or four“

“Great beer selection, friendly staff and sunny warm patio to enjoy it all.“

“Very cool, chill vibe here. Lots of seating and had a non-beer option (me not being a huge beer fan). Had a long day and was wanting to kill time, so boyfriend and I went in to sit down and the bartender was super chill and was willing to chat as well. Definitely would recommend! Thanks!“

“Faction Brewing is a wonderful, local brewery! On a perfect day, enjoy a beer or cider on their patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Catch it on a gloomier day and you can still enjoy a crafted beverage in their large indoor spaces. We host our annual donation drive here in the spring and the staff is always so fantastic. Highly recommend Faction Brewing!“

“Can’t say enough nice things about Park Station. I had an event there this week and the staff and management were so kind and helpful, the space is huge and lovely. So many beers on tap and other options, as well as food options from Southie. Highly recommend!“

“I’m a regular at Almanac, but I wanted to share a review specifically about hosting an event there. We held our wedding reception in the Barrel Hall, and it was absolutely perfect. The Almanac events team was fantastic to work with from start to finish: professional, organized, and easy to communicate with throughout the entire process.

Our guests of all ages had an amazing time, and the space created such a fun and memorable atmosphere. It was truly an unforgettable experience all around. I would highly recommend Almanac for any special event!“

“Such a rad spot, fun vibe, engaging staff, and an insane variety of yummy beer. Definitely a must.“

“Such a friendly place for a drink- they offer non-beer alcohol (sangria!) and NA beverages so there's something for every adult.

Very dog friendly place that raises a lot of funds for local charity. One of the owners, Chris, is often around welcoming everyone and may give you free samples!

They have a small bar inside with a new reading nook, and upstairs has tables and high tops. Local clubs happen upstairs, like Magic the Gathering.

Nice outdoor picnic tables. No food though (just snacks), so check out Heschers for Detroit pizza or Original Pattern for Napolitan pizza.“

“We had a great time at Brix Factory Brewing. Eric was the bartender and he was awesome with good vibes. We were looking to eat at June’s Pizza next door, but it was closed. Eric gave lots of great recs on where to eat instead. Thanks, Eric!!“

“The best beer bar and bottle shop in Oakland; a draft room and chill setting for the famed Capitola
brewery; offering bottles and cans of the freshest beer, with analogous verisons of your favorites
with fresh ingredients, and a brewmasters touch. They’re also Hella queer and trans friendly, and you could belly your wheelchair up to the bar! (Like me, see you there ♿️!!)“

“Great beer selection; try the Structure“

“wide open atmosphere, excellent food and great service. Found the beer to be of high quality. Build a flight and you will love it!“

“Stopped in Saturday night to grab some freshies and check out the brewery for the first time. Ended up having an amazing conversation with Brennan about beer, music, and community — exactly why I love beer and what the industry should feel like for patrons.

And most importantly: the beer is outstanding. This pils is everything I look for — depth, balance, and character that only comes from time, care, and quality ingredients. By far the best lager in the bay- yeah I said it!

Consider me a future repeat customer 🙌“

“Such a terrific little bar! Top notch, small batch beers from talented local brewers. Something for everyone: IPAs, pales, pilsners, saisons, sours, and (often) my favorite Belgian beer styles. Casual, friendly vibe. A great place to go with friends, on date night, or solo (laptops fine). Can bring in food, games, or your dogs. Hoi Polloi is a real gem.“

“Shoutout to Mollie and the team at Cellarmaker Berkeley; we recently held our wedding reception and it was lovely! Cool ambience, great beers, plentiful delicious food. Mollie was flexible and easy to work with - food things, accessibility things, slide shows, music, bringing cake and decorations. It was made easy for us and everyone had a great time. Thank you!“

“Fantastic beverages and food. Easy in and out. Great service!“

“Cool place. The italian beef hit the spot coming from a Chicago transplant. It was the spiciest beef I ever had which I appreciated. The only thing is it was also insanely salty. My partner (also from Chicago) said his expectations were exceeded. Chicago dog was also tasty. The beer was also flavorful. I would come again!“

“Wynn Whisenhunt created a beautiful brewery with relaxing atmosphere inside and out. Go enjoy time with friends and family while enjoying really good beer. Prost! 🍻“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“Best sours available in CA“

“Peaceful place, friendly people and Good beer 🍺“

“Good beer, good vibes, lots of outdoor space. Can get crowded, especially weekend afternoons! With lots of people, parking can be a nightmare too on weekends. Burgers are decent but not amazing in any way, definitely taste better after a few brews! Dog friendly brewery so there are always lots of dogs which I love. Live music Sundays 1PM!

Good beer, but OK food.“

“The best beer ever and the best staff ever and super cute and I just love this place so much and everyone should go here right now.“

“We went to two locations this weekend visiting from Portland & both were great! I have to rave about the service at the Barrel Room! On our way to the airport we made one last pit stop & the bartenders were AWESOME. Beer was fresh & delish. Building is dope. Lotsa kids really isn’t our thing but it’s so spacious you have plenty of room to vibe. Accidentally knocked my beer off the table & was rewarded for my bad behavior with a fresh brew on the house because accidents happen! So good. ? Will be back.“

“Beer is good. Cocktails are not. Boring Paloma and Bloody Mary. Nice outdoor space.“

“Love this place! The membership is absolutely worth it if you live in the Bay Area and can visit regularly. The staff are amazing, friendly, welcoming, and great at what they do. The sake quality never disappoints. We always leave with a smile, and every friend I’ve brought here has loved it too. Don’t miss their occasional events, they’re set in such a great atmosphere and make for a truly unique experience! One recommendation would be to open the parking lot for customers on tasting days.“

“This has become my favorite brewery to refresh after a bicycle ride across the Berkeley/Oakland hills. They have a huge beer selection and offer all kinds of tasty sandwiches in a relaxing garden atmosphere. I usually order a hefeweizen (relatively low on alcohol) to make it up Grizzly Peak again. After a stronger beer consumption there is always the North Berkeley BART station around the corner as last resort.“

“It's the best for niggaz like me“

“Great beer and food, highly recommend.“

“Love this place. Amazing atmosphere. Always busy and lively! They have amazing beer, kind staff, and overall just a nice vibe. Oh and don't forget, they have $3 beer!! They partner with Lovelies which provides food, the line is always super long but worth the wait!“
