Jackie is a Great vibe, little spot, street parking, the tap room is on the mezzanine which offers a nice cozy atmosphere.
I am not a “Sours” guy, but the Hazy and West Coast IPA’s are very nice.

Stop by and say to Jackie

Came here on a Friday night around 7pm. Planned to stay for a bit, but this place was poppin (couldnt help but to stay much longer than expected). They had live music which was awesome. Staff is great even the band was super cool. Beers are amazing!! Second time I come here and definitely won't be the last. Would visit more often if I was a local.

If you are in the area, make sure to stop by this creatively inspired Brewery. A Graphic designer Chicago native, (the owner) moved to California to start his dream and raise a family. His thoughtful design and warm family friendly environment makes this place welcoming and a joy to be around!

While my family and I were In town for the Bears game, we were enticed by the eclectic and colorful ambience while walking by. (Free hot dogs served on game days were really just icing on the cake!) Little kids were whizzing by on wheeled stools, we took a jump back in time to enjoy coloring books, bar games, blocks, a Lego wall and alphabet wall, a mirrored wall with a beautiful crystal chandelier and adorable hanging plants, and enjoyed the view of cozy corners of couches with people gathered around laughing, cheering and watch their kids play-> You really cannot look for a better place to be and enjoy time with those you love! 🫶🏼

Thank you for an amazing memorable experience during our stay, we will never forget it and can't wait to come back!

Big sour and Belgium focused selection of beers. Many aged for a year. They also have outstanding offerings of more traditional styles. The warzone west coast IPA is my personal favorite.

The decor is really eclectic and funky. Lots of wooden games to play as well as cards and other boardgames.
They have a huge projector screen that shows sports.

John was fabulous and we really enjoyed our visit.

The OG location for SD’s sour-focused beer. Less crowded than the OB location with the same awesome beer and friendly service.

An amazing hidden gem. Beer was great and service was as great. Jackie is such a good beertender and person. Cant wait to come back.

This is a small, wild, brewery with pronounced beer, especially sours, and they are definitely unique! From the style on the walls to the style in the beer barrels, this isn't a brewery you will soon forget! Even the games strewn about are different and have character. Apparently, they have a fan who hand builds these games for them, complete with some wood burned art. The owner/bartender while we were there was too busy on his phone to chat but with all the games, it was all good. If you go, enjoy looking around, or playing some games or simply sit and sip.
