ManyFriends Brewing Company

A very casual, homey atmosphere. Great beer, great pretzels. Lots of fun. Great chatting with the owner/brewmaster!

Excellent beers. Ted, the Brewer, is awesome!

Looks like a nice place. We walked in with our 6 and 4 year old and were politely told they do not allow children. I tried to call ahead of time and also checked previous Google reviews. No kids allowed here.

The best beer that I enjoyed in California.

Super chill spot to hang out. Love the vibe, great beer, and the owner is awesome!

Friendly, indeed. And great brews too!

Went in there with my family and there were only a couple people inside having a beer pretty mellow. After ordering the owner brought our beer and proceeded to boldly state If my son( who's a toddler and behaving) started getting loud and crying that we would have to leave and was pretty much going to be a problem. I didn't even notice the prices upon ordering , else I would have just left then and there needless to say I won't be back for a $14-16 pint of mid beer.

ManyFriends Brewing Co. is truly a gem! From the moment you walk in the door, you're treated like family. The owner is literally one of the sweetest people you will ever meet—so kind and down-to-earth, and he's created a space that genuinely feels like home. The no-tipping thing is just this lovely and generous gesture, and it truly reflects the community vibe here.

The vibe is totally chill and fun, with a great variety of board games and darts to keep the energy going. Solo or with friends, it's no problem to start a chat or just chill with a great beer. Highly recommend stopping by—guaranteed to leave with a grin and likely a few new buddies.

Ted is a sweetheart of a man. Passionate about providing a friendly and welcoming environment. On top of that he's a proud beer nerd. His passion for beer brewing is apparent from the first sip and even more reinforced if you pick his brain about his projects and passions.
Some people may gripe about the price. But it includes tax and tip. If you want to drink a $7 Coors there are plenty of establishments that will be to your liking. But you'll wind up paying about the same if you're leaving a tip that the workers at those other places need to survive.
The beer is just damn good too. The peanuts flow and the atmosphere is so charming. People come in to play board games and he has regulars who clearly cherish many friends as a vital 3rd space which we vitally need in this disconnected day and age.
I try to stop by and see Ted and have a couple brews as my half way pointon my long commute back from work. I only wish I could support him and his business more!
In case you're wondering my go-to is his porter which he always has. But I make it a point to try something new every time I come in. I have yet to be disappointed.
Much love, Ted.

Always a great experience. The most unpretentious, genuine brewmaster that you'll meet. Always there to personally serve his customers and both the selection and quality of the beer is impressive. You can't miss with this destination.

Great beer, friendly owner, but extremely overpriced!!
$13 to $16 per beer, price includes tax and tip, definitely not worth it.

Beer was mediocre and very overpriced. The overall vibe was below average, and the service was ok. I don’t think we will return to this brewery with so many other places to choose from.

Replying to the owners reply: It may have almost been a year ago(creepy you remember) but the bad time and beer I had there lingers.

The store was completely empty... Did you delete my ID picture? What were you planning to do with it? Your curiosity that day does not excuse your attitude.

Unfriendly owner, Did not say a peep to me when I walked in with a friend then two older people walk in and he yells hello to them across the room.

I was looking to make a good review about a small business but the owner creeped me out by taking a picture of my ID when I entered. Kind of rudely threw down the card on the counter when my hand was open to take it back.

Video attached. Again I was looking to make a good video review of this place but was treated badly. Two beers I had were terrible on top of all this.

Ted was super friendly and the beer was great.
