Best pilsner in the world, come get it straight from the brewer in their awesome tap room! Also lots of other beers on the menu, all fresh and delicious!

Showed up 40 minutes before closing for some wings only to be told they had just shut down the kitchens a couple minutes ago. Wouldn’t even check to see if it was still possible. Disappointing

Thanks Trumer staff for a great Birthday celebration good beer good folks. Shout to Chef and our server Storm for the fun night.

My friend is weirdly obsessed with Trumer Taproom, like it’s some sacred beer church. They rave about the pilsner like it’s liquid gold, but I’ve had it. Sometimes it’s decent; other times it tastes like someone rinsed out a keg with mop water and called it a day. I’ve stopped playing beer roulette and just stick to a Fevertree soda—because apparently that’s the only thing here that doesn’t betray you. The place looks like it should be good. Sleek taproom aesthetic, vaguely upscale vibes, lots of clean wood and brushed metal. It’s the kind of space that whispers “craftsmanship” while the food and service scream “disappointment.” If there were an award for Most Unfulfilled Potential, Trumer would win it in a landslide. We always end up staying longer than I want, and that means I eventually cave and order food. That’s when the real tragedy unfolds. I’ve had the misfortune of eating the world’s most indifferent mac & cheese—lukewarm, gluey, and clearly assembled by someone who’s never felt joy. The empanadas they used to serve were so bland I’m still not convinced they weren’t stuffed with cardboard. And the pierogis? Sad, soggy little pouches of regret, served just warm enough to make you question your life choices. The salad is a science experiment. Wilted greens, brown edges, and an overall vibe that says “we found this behind the fridge.” Every bite feels like a warning from nature itself. Then there’s the infamous pork sandwich, which one bartender hyped up with the energy of a used car salesman on commission. I took a bite and immediately wished I hadn’t. It tasted like someone’s failed BBQ project that was cryogenically frozen and half-thawed just in time for my suffering. Let’s talk about the staff. There’s the bartender who perpetually smells like an ashtray that moonlights as a chimney. Nothing says “fresh beer experience” like the scent of stale cigarettes wafting over your drink. Then there’s the retired news anchor-looking employee with the cakey makeup and haunted expression of someone who took a wrong turn in life and ended up plating sad pretzels for a living. Every interaction with her feels like you’ve stumbled into a local access soap opera. And speaking of the pretzels: they're the only thing that isn't made on-site—which is probably why they’re edible on a good day. That doesn’t stop the kitchen from butchering them. Sometimes they’re baked into bricks, other times they show up barely warm and about as inspiring as a DMV waiting room. The only thing Trumer Taproom is truly consistent at is the horrifying “gotcha!” bite halfway through your meal—whether it’s rotten lettuce, congealed cheese, or something mysteriously cold that was supposed to be hot. It’s like playing Russian roulette with your taste buds. Bottom line: come for the beer if you must, but eat literally anywhere else. And maybe nose plugs.

The Pilsner is one of the best beers around, it's really good, I miss the bottles, on cans I feel the taste a little different, the others Northern Larger and IPA is ok but not like the pils, the brisket sandwich was ok, bread was not fresh and dry, brisket was good! The staff special in the bar wasn't that friendly, in general is ok, my 5 stars go to the Trumer Pils, really delicious!

Awesome beer, European atmosphere.

They do the last call half an hour before closing so keep that in mind when planning your visit. Your last chance to get a drink there on a Friday night is 8:30pm! thought it was a bit too early! But otherwise great place, cool people and the best beer in town

It's a poison in my opinion

This is my favorite California beer. The tap room is great, very clean and lots of pilsners.
My drink always starts with a pilsner beer. Pilsner beer is great way to start the first round of drinking Trumer Pilsner beers are light-bodied, golden-colored lagers.
It has very crisp, clean, and refreshing taste to it. Hoppy #5 has floral, fruity aromas to it. This is one of my top tastes. They surely know what temperature/condition beer should be served at!

Chill place, good atmosphere with patio sitting as well. It would have been a better experience if I was not served with a cold pretzel after waiting for 25, maybe close to 30 minutes. But that is not what bothered me the most, what did really bother me is that dogs(maybe all pets(?)) are allowed inside, I am not sure why... is it that we are all supposed to like animals in the food/drink establishment? Perhaps I will stick to bottled pilsner.

Great beer, not a single ipa (exactly what I love) the food is great but expensive. The charcuterie board is a joke $28 and you get such a delicate morsel that trumer must be a shit hunter. Would be 5/5 if the charcuterie wasn't such a ridiculous rip off.

Love this brewery for their amazing beer. So stoked when they opened this location last year. The pretzels, mustard, brats, pierogies and potato salad are fantastic. Great wines too. Can't go wrong here. Indoor and outdoor seating. Heaters on patio and great decor.

Blown away by this brewery! Some of the best beer I've had in a long time. I was also extremely happy to see Trumer Pils in Chicago, where I live. It's my new go-to 12 pack!!
