Delicious food (vegan and meat options!) from the lovely chef at Kitchenette next door. We love trivia with Tyler on Saturdays, and it’s dog-friendly. Our favorite spot for a drink with friends, too!

Always a fantastic treat to come here and unwind with friends and coworkers. Family friendly is a big plus for me!

Great small brewery with a kitchenette attached for some good bar food.

Wow! An unassuming yet magical, charming brewery! My gosh. It’s so hard to find a proper brewery by the neighborhood & for the neighborhood, but here we have it. Everyone from the owner to the staff are absolutely fantastic people, welcoming, charismatic, and full of stories they’re willing to share. If I could give 6 stars, I would. I hope circumstances bring me back to the Albany neighborhood so I can visit again.

Cute brewery. Very community feeling. They have the kitchenette next by which you can order food from and have brought over to the brewery. There is usually a schedule for live music on weekends, trivia, and other fun games.
Kind of small if it's cold out as half their seating is outside.
Great bartenders!

This brewery is phenomenal. Lots of selection and rotation moves fast. The inside can be tight but the outside there is a space for kids to play and even a spot to reserve a party. Every once in a while they will have a jazz band that plays which is great to enjoy with the family.This brewery will do classics, IPA’s and even some unique beers like a mushroom porter. No matter what though the beer is always quality. The customer service is great and they have trivia nights, game nights, and live music.The only negative I can give this place is the beers are small batch and rotate fast. Once you get used to a beer more then likely it won’t be back which sucks cus they’re all really good. Highly recommend!

Great tasting. Sat on their patio with our dog who made 3 friends while we were there

I tried a couple different beers and both are very good. The pair working know their beers very well and were spot on with their descriptions. We will go back.

Delicious brews, backyard jams on the weekends, trivia and bingo during the week and brilliant staff. What else could anyone possibly ask for. Highly recommended

"Ocean view brewing" -you can't even see the ocean. More like San Pablo Avenue View. ???? With all the other amazing breweries around. This should be the last on your list. ?

I go to as many breweries as I possibly can. I, obviously, rate this one as excellent. I tasted 6 beers. EACH ONE was excellent. I find that extremely rare. Very friendly service and a nice patio. If you’re a beer lover, don’t pass this place up!!
