It was excellent on a rainy day to come here and have the deepest porter and a red ale!! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Love the atmosphere and art for sale on the walls. They have merch I'll definitely be back for!

It is one of the best breweries in Monterey Bay. The beer is amazing and the food is great too. If you are in the area, you must give it a try.

First visit. Nice craft beer. The oysters were fresh and yummy. Servers were nice but one of our appetizers took too long to come out. We'll go again.

What a great laid back venue, with both inside and patio seating. The beers are excellent, and the appetizers are exceptional! Owned by a local, give this place a go before shopping at Staff of Life next door. Check out their special events as well.

Came in yesterday - wonderful place to get a beer and the food is so good. I ordered butternut squash soup and a grilled cheese, both totally exceeded my expectations. Service is great too. I loved the vibe of this place and will be back. Support local breweries!

Their drinks are yummy but I was not expecting their food to be so damn good!! We had the oysters, lentil soup, Caesar salad, and mushroom melt. Every single item was to die for!!

This place is like a second home. It is close to my work so many coworkers gather here. The food is more of a snack than a meal but and the beer is also snacks :) if you get a grilled cheese, make it a deluxe.

This place is awesome! Very friendly, very comfortable indoors and outside, and the beer is of outstanding quality. They offer traditional recipes when i went they had, 2 pilsners, amber, festbier, a porter, west coast ipa and a hazy ipa which are all clean and true to style (we tasted almost everything) as well as a few doubles which i did not try but must be good, and then there are the fruit beers which are made by soaking fruit with a finished light dry honey beer, that really captures the flavor of the fruits and is entirely unique. No fake fruit flavors or cut corners here at all. Lastly they have sours that are likewise imbued with fruit, and are just something really special. I don't normally like sour beers, but these snack beers are out of this world delicious. I wish I lived closer and could come here all the time.The grilled cheese deluxe and the homemade hummus were great companions to our tasting, and did not disappoint.

Around 2018, I got an email regarding a Go Fund Me or Kickstarter campaign for Fruition. I didn’t know anything about them other than that they loved beer and wanted to offer something made with local, organic, sustainable ingredients. I ponied up my $100 and forgot about them.Perhaps a year later, their brewery was built and ready to serve. I believe my tier offered me one free crowler of beer a month for a year. I planned on enjoying that. And I did. Even when I missed months, whenever I came in, they still honored our agreement and I grew to love the little brewery that could.They offered more than just ten IPA’s and a few other styles. They offer maybe three IPA’s at most(and I am an IPA lover), but really sunk their teeth into a variety of offerings that relied on local organic fruit that demanded to be tried and honestly educated my palate and introduced me to a multitude of beer offerings I otherwise might not have tried.They offer a smattering of food you’d be hard pressed to find at other breweries such as oysters. There’s plenty of room inside and out. They are kid and pet friendly as long as everyone is well behaved. They have merchandise and a variety of take home offerings including hot sauces, canned beer, and higher end bottled beer offerings.It’s a bit of a drive from highway 1, but we’ll worth it.

Some of my favorite beer and a great atmosphere. The kind staff just makes it that much better.
