"Set inside an old Victorian house, this chill Fremont nano-brewery is known for its experimental beers — like a stout with reishi mushroom or a holy basil-infused pale ale, all brewed in the tiny basement — and its dog-friendly backyard beer garden. The quirky business also serves a small menu of hot sandwiches and bar snacks, including Australian meat pies, and has live music on occasion and a sweet vintage Atari set up in the tiny upstairs seating area." - Meg van Huygen
