Fieldwork Brewing Company - Berkeley

Good beer, friendly staff, very pleasant place to spend some time.

Celebrated my friend’s birthday here after reserving a table. Best experience ever. I believe his name was Ted, a manager, was incredibly helpful to our whole party. Let us use their fridge for the cake and made sure everything happened to plan. Couldnt have been more kind and accommodating. My hope is to meet more managers like Ted. Thanks Ted!

The beer is pretty tasty and so is the food. We got two pizzas to share between 5 people and that wasn't enough. For the price, we expected the pizzas to be larger. The flavor wasn't quite the classic Detroit style, but it's good enough for a brewery. They do have vegan options which is pretty great.

The space is large, plenty of seating. Parking was no issue at all. Lovely area. The service was quite good as well, everyone was super friendly.

Good beers and nice staff

Great Oktoberfest brew!

Last time I was here bartender forgot to ring up food even though I got a number. Other bartender made it right and things worked out. These things happen and the crew made it right

Beers: tried and true top-notch Bay Area brews; famous for their IPAs. This visit they still had a bit of their Dill & Ted's Excellent Pickle Lager left in the keg, and it was soooo good. Some lazy breweries will serve you a pickle lager by simply tossing a dill pickle into a lager as they serve it to you. Fieldwork at least makes the effort with the brewing process, and again, it is really good. Had zero idea Fieldwork also does Belgian-styles, and they had a handful on offer that day. Abigail, the Belgian Strong Ale, and Nénette, the Belgian Pale Ale, really hit their marks. The Abigail slightly more than Nénette, but they're both basically on the bull's eye separated by inches.

Didn't have the food, but friends who frequent this joint say the hack here is to put some of those kale leaves from their Caesar in between a couple slices of their pizza. Can't speak to this. Didn't try it. Caveat emptor.

Service from Denay and Mati was courteous, professional, and friendly. Bonus points for personalities.

Industrial part of Berkeley, so parking's probably not atrocious. Unknown of there's a BART station anywhere near here. Drive, bike, scooter, or Uber here. The space itself is the main brewing facility for everything Fieldwork. So, this is a weekday-busy real-world working environment. You will smell the beer in its various states of the brewing process. This is normal, so do not be alarmed. As for the taproom and outside patio seating area, it's all fairly hip and modern, adhering to the overall Fieldwork vibe. Plenty of comfy shirts, glassware, and other merch available. They are too cool for stickers, even though they are a family-friendly environment.

When I moved here 6 years ago, Fieldwork was my first stop from the airport with my tiny kitten in-tow.

Fieldwork has consistently been a wonderful place to visit - working through covid, expanding outside food, then adopting in house food that slaps!

It has been great to see your business grow and thrive, and I look forward to my future nostalgic trips here when I’m back visiting in the area.

LOVE the 🍕!!!

A perfect spot for a great beer and food in a large setting with indoor and outdoor seating.

Lots of options for beers and drink. Pizza was good and so was the other items. We chose to sit outside. Inside was a little too loud to talk.

Was here a week ago and got some of the worst service I've had. Staff forgot part of our order. No big deal, it happens but not great. I checked with the kitchen and got a lot of attitude that they were busy and it was coming (they did not actually check). After 45 minutes of waiting with my kids I just asked for a refund. Lady behind the counter did not seem to have a way to provide one. It took about 5-10 mins but finally she said it went through. Not on my card. Pls make it easier on people. Thank you.

Off to an interesting start!

Great beer and good appetizers!

Love the beer, been coming for a long time but this place is ruined by the fact that u let kids in. I've seen 2 full tables with people having kids bday parties. Y'all need to do better with that. I know a couple who crashed thier car with their kids in it, not to long ago after coming from this location. I think all breweries need to make it 21 and up cuz kids at a brewery is the worst especially for parents in the bay area
