Fieldwork Brewing Company - Berkeley

We come here all the time. Super family friendly environment, great outdoor seating. The beers are great and the food is decent.

However, as other reviews have noted, the one female staff member should consider a job outside of service because she really detracts from the vibe and everyone else is awesome.

I’ve been coming here for years and tonight I ordered one glass of wine using the barcode on the table, which the bartender then closed out without asking me and added their own gratuity of 20%. I usually tip 20% as a habit, but this is totally inappropriate for a bartender to close out your tab and add their own tip to the bill without your consent while you are still sitting in the bar!

Great Belgians. Weird vibes.

I'm used to the typical Berkeley lackluster retail service and prefer it to the 'chipper salesperson'. But this felt more downtrodden, was kind of a bummer.

Thank you Bacchus or whoever the god of great beer is. It might be fieldwork. I used to drink it at beer revolution in Oakland when their amazing story was unfolding, then the beer industry took me to Seattle where I FINALLY got my hands on a hazy from them at chucks hop shop. After all these years, since they were just a fledgling company, having Russian river dreams and lagunitas nightmares, there is not a better friend for you on a sunny spring day at a picnic table.

Alex and folks, thank you; If you ever want some peninsula rye or to open up all the way up in the emerald yonder, let me know. Love ya!

Hometown heros, top 3 breweries in the bay and I'm highly biased due to all the great memories and good times.

Deteriorating service throughout the years. Been here many times and the bartenders just keep getting ruder with each visit. They start huffing and puffing, make smart ass remarks when you ask to taste something new as if we’re not already there buy something. Last remark I got when asking to taste one beer was “Well it comes in a can, so no”. 😳 As if I’m supposed to know that and all other detailed info about all their brews?!?! I mean isn’t that his job to tell me in a friendly manner and sell me beers I can taste? Feels like overall unfriendly, impatient, rude service. I completely understand they get busy, but there’re in the service industry, there is no reason to snap at paying customers, unless they want NO CUSTOMERS. Not returning.

Always my favorite place for a beer. They have great pizza, Detroit style personal pizzas

But the beer is the stuff they sing songs about

Beers were okay, but I liked the pizza and shishito peppers more. Very casual with indoor and outdoor dining/drinking. There are heat lamps to keep you warm. Self service water, napkins, utensils, and togo boxes. You order inside or via QR codes on the table.

A great spot for good food, helpful service and of course, tasty beer ?

Good beer and chill spot to hangout.

Great imperial stout and Belgian dubel

Beer is fantastic. The food however… there used to be a pizza truck that did an excellent job. Now, their pizza is a solid D+ or C- bready and crappy. Try harder.

Best Hazy IPAs in SF. Hands down. Awesome service.

Can't lie, I love their hazies, but I I'll be frequenting other breweries now, that are more gracious with their customer service and approachability. Time and time again at fieldwork I've been met with a level of hostility and entitlement that isn't really worth it. Today I approached a woman loading the beer fridge with a basic question, and she treated me as if I was inconveniencing her. I'm not going to this place anymore but will probably still enjoy their beers on tap around the Bay Area.

Nice indoor-outdoor space with an impressive lineup of beers, including sours, pilsners, lagers, IPAs. Tried the Light & Day and liked it so much I bought a four-pack to go. Did not eat but the Detroit-style pizza looked good. Prices are not obvious, so be careful if you're on a budget. Liked everything about the place but the bald, bushy-mustached bartender who, in my experience, is a tool who may display his dislike for you for no apparent reason.
