Good tapn selection of 14 brews ranging from ipa to Belgian style. FYI: a lot of reviews reference the sliders, but they no longer have a kitchen. Come for a good beer only, or grab something from the deli in Whole Foods proper.

Surprisingly good rotating tap list. Also you have access to the whole foods kitchen and you can bring food in. I don't think he bring booze in though... but that being said it's a good place to have a beer with your stroller before you go shopping

Was here the other night before a Sharks game. We were there at 5:00 and ordered the pretzels and they were all out! Really...before the Sharks game crowd? The last time we were there they were out of sliders. I don't know who does the ordering but their menu is so small it doesn't seem that hard to keep your five food items on the menu. Hope this snafu doesn't hurt this place because they have good beer.

Brand new taproom with. Top chef Tanya Holland recipes and great local beers and wines

Why would anyone want to drink a beer at whole foods? You’d have to have almost no personality for this to be your “spot”.

The fried chicken buttermilk sandwich is to die for! Thank you, Tanya Holland!!!! A great bun with crispy fried chicken that is extra thick, moist and tasty! And with a toss of cole slaw. Chicken wings are great if you like spicy .

Wow they have some great beers. I don't really like beer either, but they'll find something that suits you. This is a great idea.... get a drink and have dinner before grocery shopping. What an awesome concept.

Floodcraft is a taproom for the San Jose based brewery owned by Whole Foods. The name is based on the survival of the original Austin Whole Foods store in a 1981 flood ( The "taproom" is a funky structure inside the store by the coffee bar on the Harrison side. Anyway, there's a handful of pizzas, sandwiches ( and other appetizers ( on offer and about 15 beers on tap ( but oddly just one from Floodcraft and the rest are local, guest micro brews like Fieldwork and Barebottle with pours in the $7-8 range ( The Floodcraft Tropical Pale (6.5% abv, $7 pint) I had was pretty refreshing. Friendly bartender. Seems like an odd location and prices for a pint are on the high side, especially for beers that are from their brewery. Interested to see how it goes.
