Stopped in Saturday night to grab some freshies and check out the brewery for the first time. Ended up having an amazing conversation with Brennan about beer, music, and community — exactly why I love beer and what the industry should feel like for patrons.
And most importantly: the beer is outstanding. This pils is everything I look for — depth, balance, and character that only comes from time, care, and quality ingredients. By far the best lager in the bay- yeah I said it!
Consider me a future repeat customer 🙌

This is such a great place! I met some people named “tsukasa tenma” and “Saki tenma” and they were really cool! Tsukasa kept talking about being a star and someone called “rui” though, but overall a great place! (Pjsk has infected my brain please help)

I was craving some craft beer and decided to give this place a try. Most of the on-tap draft beer they were serving was pilsner, hoppy IPA, and lager. I got a flight of four beers, and they tasted alright.

My favorite bar in all of Oakland! In addition to the fantastic beer (shoutout Subvert the Hierarchy – West Coast IPA), the great music playlists, comfortable seating, and genuinely welcoming vibes have made a lifetime customer out of me.

My favorite local brewery. And my husband’s, friends’, dog’s, and even my baby’s favorite place to hang out any day of the week. Why? The staff is friendly and always open to a good conversation. There are great spaces to sit at the bar or grab a table to play a game with a group of people. And of course, the beer is amazing. I’m a sucker for their pilsners, pale ales, and trying out whatever they have newly available. Go with friends, on a date, for their trivia nights, or just by yourself with a good book on a Sunday. You won’t regret it.

Really awesome beer in a cool brewery! I had a small flight of beers that consisted of a few different lagers and pilsners and enjoyed every one of them. I liked the rice lager so much that I got a 4 pack to bring home! I'm really happy my girlfriend and I decided to stop in on a whim because I really enjoyed my stop at Tenma... The music was also great!

I've just returned to New Zealand and took one of these beers back with me from a bay area visit. OMG I'm the biggest fan of WCIPA style and the sphere of eternity is up there with Pliny the elder as the best in class. So impressed and if I could find a way of importing I would happily pay anything for more of it. I need to find an excuse to come back. Love and respect. Kevin
lol i was told to leave. Was FaceTimeing at a normal volume and girl told me if i could turn it down 😂. M

Chill Friday with great staff and patrons. I love a Pilsner on a warmer day and they had five on tap!! I was hella excited because it’s rare for a brewery to have so many pilsners on tap. Really great options all around. Dana was very warm and welcoming.

Good vibes and tasty brews!
