"Berkeley’s Gilman Brewing Company has opened a new location in midtown Santa Cruz. This venue features a 2,500-square-foot taproom and a 1,500-square-foot weather-proofed beer garden. The beer lineup includes various IPAs, saisons, a pilsner, a porter, and a lager, similar to their West Berkeley brewhouse. Unlike other locations, this taproom also offers a food menu including Neapolitan-inspired pizzas, a smash burger, dogs, brats, pretzels, and a standout Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The Santa Cruz location will eventually add weekend brunch." - Lauren Saria
