Calicraft Brewing Company

Great beer, great food trucks, great vibe!

The brewery currently features a temporary space made with shipping containers. The open-air setting is very pleasant, with well-spaced tables and comfortable chairs, making it a cozy place to enjoy.

There is plenty of parking available, which is a big plus.

The restrooms were well-maintained and clean, which we really appreciated.

However, we had an unpleasant experience with one of the staff members, who was quite rude when we moved an umbrella ourselves to get some shade. It's a shame that her bad attitude affected what could have been a completely positive experience.

They offer free water, which is a nice touch, but since it sits in the sun, it tends to be warm and they don't have ice available to cool it down.

The food truck offering chicken dishes was a pleasant surprise—the food was very tasty and the service was excellent.

Best place

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE NEW & IMPROVED (and temporary) Calicraft Brewing Company garden area. It’s absolutely incredible…thank you for creating this amazing gathering space for friends and families.

Lots of open space, beautiful bathrooms, gravel sand box, what more could you ask for? Oh, and tremendous refreshments too 🐻 ⭐️ 🌞 🍻

Chill vibes and great brews

Love this place. Can't wait for the new locations to open up

Great open searling outside with delightful beers. Only issue is either people are blind & stupid when it comes to parking.. or the lines are gone.. but i have never seen so many people take up 2 spaces in y life.

We stopped in here on our way to Travis, we had lunch and a drink, the environment was modern and clean. Our service was just ok, the guy helping us was just not friendly or personable at all. The food was fine, we had appetizers and had a nice time chatting with each other.

High quality trivia night on Tuesday nights, with a host who's good at pronouncing words and not high as hell. Unlike another place in Walnut Creek that does trivia and maybe is right next to a pizza place known for a pie that induces childbirth.

Daycare or brewery? Beware if you come on a Friday evening there are at least 20 kids running loose. Still a great place with nice beers.

I like that this location is off the road so you don't hear constant traffic going by. Beer is good and it's just off the bike path.

Nice little local brewery with good IPA selection. Friendly staff and good vibes!
There was a pop up pizza shop, not sure how the food selection is usually

I am surprised about how this placed turned into a great family friendly spot. My friend and our newborn babies enjoyed a chill early Saturday evening with friends. We had an ok pizza from citizen.

Calicraft is fantastic! As a Walnut Creek native who has lived abroad for the past decade, it's one of the first places I want to visit every time I’m back in town. It's truly one of the things I miss most about the 'Creek. The atmosphere is fun and welcoming, with plenty of space for kids, dogs, and large groups. I also love the variety of food trucks—there’s always something great to try.

The only reason I’d give it 4 stars instead of 5 is the limited selection of non-alcoholic beverages. I know—it’s a brewery! :-) That said, I’ve gone with friends who love the vibe but aren’t big drinkers or are the designated drivers, and they’re often disappointed by the lack of options like soft drinks, flavored waters, or non-alcoholic beers. This is also something to consider for families with kids, who could benefit from more kid-friendly drink choices. A larger fridge stocked with a wider range of non-alcoholic options might be a great addition.

Otherwise, no complaints at all—Calicraft is a gem. Keep up the great work!

Edit - thanks for the reply, Calicraft! I didn't know you had so many non-alc drinks on offer, so 5 stars it is. :-) Great to hear. Can't wait to see you all again next summer.

Awesome place with great staff and a wide selection of craft beers and ciders. There is both indoor and outside seating available. They have food trucks daily but you can also bring in your own food. It's a great neighborhood spot!
