12 Best Craft Breweries near Pleasant Hill

“This place is a great addition to downtown Pleasant Hill. The vibes are good, staff are friendly and will help recommend a brew to suit your tastes. One thing I would suggest would be to add a pinball table. Epidemic has 2, and I think they draw some regulars, just sayin’!“

“Usually here with friends to hang out or getting a beer after a hike. Tuesdays are great because it's Taco Tuesdays at a nearby restaurant- $1! If you have the Hess glass, beer is $6...used to be $5. Good selection of beers. Indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is always a challenge though because it's in a busy shopping center.“

“Best brewery in all of nor cal!!! A must go too! A hidden gem with the best beer!!!! The variety leaves your pallet wanting too try more!!!!!! The environment is incredible and very family friendly!!!! The staff here is like hanging out with family or long lost friends!!!!! So laid back and so clean and a great place to play a board game and grab and delicious beer or refreshing sour! Alexis is a wonderful manager who goes out of her way too make sure this is the greatest brewery experience ever! Michael serves beer with a smile and a great conversation! He really makes your day!!!“

“Epidemic Ales is my new favorite place to meet up with friends. We go every Saturday night for either Karaoke or Comedy Night (every 3rd Saturday), grab a beer and catch up. It's fun, the beertenders are friendly and always recommend delicious drinks, the crowd is always respectful. There's always a different food truck parked outside, and everything I've had has been delicious. Tucked away in the Industrial area of Concord, Epidemic isn't in a spot you'd expect a brewery, it's more of a friendly warehouse with tables and colored lights. But that's what I like. No dress code, casual, comfortable, just fun with friends. You can even bring your well-behaved dog with you, lots of people bring their kids, too. I always get something different when I go, but everything I've tried has been delicious. I really like the limelight lager if you want something a bit lighter in flavor, but the hazy IPAs are great, too. They also have great merch, special merch for some holidays or different days of the year, too.“

“I found out about this place from my cousin. The vibe was amazing very kid friendly. The beer was even better ! The morena mia was savory and thirst quenching like a perfect amber ale should be! The hazy IPA's here are top notch and the Sneaky AF has the potential to win beer of the year hands down, i will keeping a eye out for where i can buy this more locally.“

“We enjoy coming here for Cali Craft’s open space. They have a big selection of beers and non alcoholic beverages. From time to time, they will have food options by partnering food trucks. I would definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy beers but also it is an easy place to hang. Breweries are pretty great for young families.“

“the beer is good BUT, it would be better if it were as cold as it is at Del Cielo a few blocks away or, at any of the other nearby bar/cantina/saloon establishments . . . ?on the other hand, it's nice that there's often a food truck outside and that they allow outside food, as it seems most most brew houses/local craft breweries do . . .“

“Been coming here for a years now, I should have reviewed this post a long time ago! Bruehol is fantastic, from beer selection, service & food trucks... you won't be disappointed, I promiseI like that it is very casual & friendly, from the employees to the customers We happen to be here today with food truck Bossalini's...OMG, the flavors are amazing we had the ribs, brisket, hot links with garlic noodles, Mac & cheese, potato salad & corn breadNext time will have to try the banana pudding! One of the truck owners Derrick was fantastic! Bruehol doesn't disappoint... ever“

“Got the beer flight with some small sides. It was nice eatting outside and feeling the breeze for lunch. Parking was a bit rough but had a great experience. Even though we sat outside the waiters weee super attentive and made sure we were taken care of“

“My mother found this place and told me it's the best Smashburger she's ever had. It didn't take me much time to see if she was right and I'll say this is the best Smashburger I've ever had.Parking: Not much parking, but worth it to park and walk over.“

“Yesterday I visited this place and it was an incredible experience. We were served by Isamar who welcomed us with a big smile and was friendly. We asked him what he would recommend for us to eat and everything was delicious!!!!  Thanks to Isamar we had 5-star service, 100% recommended.“

“We had a very enjoyable experience here! My friend and I split a money burger and fried chicken sandwich so we could each try them both. They were both so tasty! We did order the burger medium and it came medium well, no biggie for us. It was still tasty, loaded with flavor. The fried chicken sandwich was also good, crispy and not dry, yummy sauce. Truffle fries were fire as well. Crispy edges, soft middle, great taste. Our waiter was super friendly and a joy to talk to. The ambiance inside is a little loud but lively, it's clean, and there are tv's with games showing. Outside looked nice too, there are heaters. Prices are fair, and great location. Would recommend!“
