There Does Not Exist

Easily the best brewery in SLO. Large selection of IPA’s from in a nice spot in an industrial building.

My local spot. Good all around: beer, staff, vibe, location. Can’t beat it! Only downside is no food - but theyre cool with you bringing anything in.

Psychic Advisor West Coast IPA is incredible. Extremely smooth even at 8.6%. Huge fan.

Every beer I had was delicious!

Best beer in the county (at least).

This might be a bold statement with other amazing hitters in the region, but I'd argue that There Does Not Exist, or TDNE for short, is hands down my favorite brewery on the central California coast.

First, the beer. Such an amazing array of IPAs, hazies, and a few other one off styles (Feathers, Bone Chimes and Eternal Rest is a Horus collab strong ale that is full of flavor), I bet you'll always find something you like. But the best kept secret here are their pretty dang perfect lagers. Each style is distinct from the next, and each brings out different soft, subtle flavors of grain with absolutely no errors. There's NOwhere to hide mistakes in lagers, but that's ok because TDNE makes their lagers with incredible precision.

Next up, the taproom. The space is open, large and incredibly inviting. A great place to spend a few hours, get to know other patrons, and sometimes to grab food from a visiting food truck or taco truck. We've met some great people here, and always enjoy our visits. Bathrooms are clean nice as well. Kid and dog friendly too.

The staff is friendly and are extra fun people to get to know, from those serving the beer, to the head brewer, and to everyone in between. It feels like a family affair - everyone appears to enjoy their time working there and it just feels homey.

Don't miss this spot of you're even remotely in the area.

Nice place. Very good west coast IPA. Definitely worth the visit!

What can I say about this brewery that hasn't already been said? If you want faithfully curated beers, this is the place to go. I'm not a local, have had beers all over California, but I still make time to drop by this brewery when I'm in the area.

Top quality beers from light lagers to double IPAs and beyond. Chill atmosphere - great stop.

Stopped in after a mountain bike ride. The Saison is sooooo juicy gooooood! Perfection

Best little brewery in San Luis County! Outstanding beer. World class IPAs and Pilsners.

Tasty brews, cool vibe

Enjoyed a collaborative beer at Ancient Owl and knew we had to get down here to check them out. Top notch light lager and imperial. Highly recommend making a stop; it's got the whole package of great beers, nice people and clean modern aesthetic.

Fantastic tap room. Lots of seating and natural light. The beer is fantastic as well, I did try 2 beers on site and we took home 2 4 Packs.

Swag was solid and we did end buying a shirt. Our beertender Libby was super nice and answered all of our questions. This place has a reputation for great beer, and I think we can add inviting taproom to the rep as well.

Some of the best beers you will find anywhere- they have taken the art of IPA’s to another level. Goto spot if you’re anywhere near this area!
