“Who doesn't like a brewery who constantly gives back to its community. I don't think they ever say no to a charity, nonprofit or anyone who may need to raise funds in Auburn. Oh and I love their new Rice beer called "Rising Sun"“

“Our family had an INCREDIBLE time hosting my grandfathers 80th birthday party. We rented the space out for 3 hours for about 25 people and everyone raved about the pizzas and beer served. I can’t leave a review without highlighting the hospitality which was outstanding!! Kelsey and Jenna effortlessly supported the party and multiple people commented to my grandmother how lovely the staff was and even that they felt like part of the family. We couldn’t recommend the space and the staff enough. Thank you Kelsey and Jenna!!“

“Mindscape Fermentations is hands down the most special brewery I've ever been to—and it's no secret why. The two Laurens who own and run it are exceptional humans, blending kindness, hospitality, and lighthearted conversation with an incredible skill for brewing and fermentation. They have a rare gift for making everyone feel welcome, creating a true community within their space. The beer is always fantastic, crafted with such precision that there’s zero room for imperfection. And beyond the drinks, the atmosphere is light and positive—no dark, dungeon-like tavern vibes here! They also go the extra mile to support local artists, rotating artwork for sale and hosting a variety of events that make this place feel even more vibrant. I never saw myself as someone who would frequent a brewery, but the people here feel more like family, and that’s something I’m truly grateful for. Thank you, Mindscape—love y’all!“
