Craft Breweries in Watsonville

“Salt of the Earth brewery that’s easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention while driving the beautiful outskirts of Watsonville. Located in a large wooden barn next to a lumber company, Corralitos Brewing has a small town feel, where locals come after clocking out from work and enjoying tasty beer while watching the sunset and breathing clean air. The outdoor patio area is reminiscent of a saloon, while the indoor avoids the cliched Industrial interiors of many breweries today, instead relying on the log cabin / barn motif with wooden decor and small town charm.The staff is friendly, conversational, and attentive. The restrooms are clean. There’s the obligatory swag and to go beer for sale. They even offer crowler fills, but I would suggest asking for pricing before simply ordering a large can for home. I ordered two and it cost me $50 with a reasonable tip. That’s the only negative I can really complain about, but I have to take responsibility for it because I didn’t inquire whatsoever.Parking is limited, but when the lot is full, the overflow simply park on the on the shoulder of the adjacent field.Some would say Corralitos Brewing Company is off the beaten path, and they would be correct. It’s not right off the highway or in a shopping center downtown. But it’s worth the extra ten minutes and the countryside is a nice reprieve from downtown Watsonville.“

“Some of the best beer I have tasted in a long time, super friendly staff, Chuck went out of his way to sample all of the beers we wanted to try from his bold menu of locally brewed beer! Also, for couples, where beer isn’t your wife’s favorite libation, there is a cider place next door featuring local ciders. A great way to chill out and relax with your honey! We will be back“
