Why are there so many children here. Play place more than a brewery.

Went here to get a beer and had a delightful time. Our bartender Emily Robbins aided us in navigating their menu and taught us about how to determine if a beer was “valid”. Will definitely be coming back soon

This place is absolutely wonderful!! The staff, the vibes, the drinks…everything was amazing!! We watching a Sunday football game and made plenty of friends throughout. The food was delicious. I even bought a shirt so I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area.

Andrew was great and very attentive. The beer rotation was good and the food was also really good. I recommend the fries and the pizza (bur-hot-ah Za). Highly recommend this place

J Jarmer

Excellent beer and spirits

This place is a great break from the usual wine-tasting rooms — good beer, tasty food, and a fantastic atmosphere!

Darby Jenny

Atmosphere was great but beer was just okay

Jessica Huerta

Amazing cocktails and super dog friendly

Brad Gerttula

$10 pint?! I guess that’s California.

The smash burger tacos and beers were so good.

A great brewery. Session hazy was tasty with some sweet afternotes. Hibiscus margarita was strong and the hibiscus was sweet and tangy. Fries great too. Recommend.

Good selection of hazy beer. Hibiscus margarita was also well made.

We were strolling by about 10 minutes before they opened, peeked in and the owner welcomed us in for a few tastes. What a clean space, well branded, friendly and, of course, a cool concept of beer validation. It’s a smart person’s brewery! And the beers are amazing! Cites butt down was my fave, and a clever name.

The beers are great. Smash burgers are the best... and don't forget the homemade potato chips.

Beer is good, but $20 + tax and tip for 46.9% Wagyu genetics beef cubes in a hot dog bun smothered in teriyaki syrup is not so good.
