"Calicraft has been pulling beers at its taproom since 2016, taking advantage of its spacious brewery with plenty of seating available, especially in the outdoor beer garden. It’s become a popular spot away from the busier downtown area, and a place to try some Calicraft beers that won’t be available at any nearby stores. Outside food is allowed, but there is pretty much a constant rotation of food trucks available to purchase food from as you sip your drink at the picnic table setups." - Dianne de Guzman

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 🐻 ⭐️ 🌞 🍻

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.

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.

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.

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.

We enjoy coming here for Cali Craft’s open space. They have a big selection of beers and non alcoholic beverages. From time to time, they will have food options by partnering food trucks. I would definitely recommend coming here if you enjoy beers but also it is an easy place to hang. Breweries are pretty great for young families.

I’ve been coming to Calicraft for a long time now and my favorite time to visit is on Thursday’s. They usually have a food truck parked outside and the last time there I got fish tacos, which went perfectly with the Wobblies IPA. I like this place for it’s casual and friendly people. There was an engagement party there last week and I’ve seen businesses have happy hours after work. Plus, since it’s in an office park, people bring kids to let them play in the large parking lot out front. Where else can you find a true family friendly brewery?

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.

This review is long overdue! When my husband and I lived in Walnut Creek, we regularly visited this spot, whether with family, friends, or just the two of us. Whether it was a weekday or weekend, out running errands or hosting guests, this place was our go-to. Its convenience, offering both indoor and outdoor seating, made it an easy and top choice. They're open Monday through Thursday starting at 3 p.m., and Friday through Sunday at noon. If you're coming with a big group or planning a small get-together, it's best to arrive early. While there's a huge parking lot, this is a popular spot, especially during the summer or when the weather's nice. While they don't serve food, the food trucks offer great options for grabbing a bite. Quick tip: check the calendar to see which food trucks will be there ahead of time. The service here is outstanding, and honestly, that's what keeps us coming back - aside from the great beer, of course! Our favorites are the Cool Kidz, Spritz, and Cruz. All in all, Calicraft Brewery has earned its spot as one of my favorite places in Walnut Creek. Whether you're a local or just passing through, definitely grab yourself a great beer!

I've been to Calicraft a few times now, and can safely say the quality of the beer & vibes are both consistently high. If you're looking for a relaxed environment, fantastic local brews on draft, and laid-back service, Calicraft is a great option. If you're up for a crawl, add in Mike Hess up the street. While there is plenty of warm, comfortable seating inside, I've always been outside on the picnic tables. The bike rack & immediate proximity to the Canal Trail makes this a bike/beer lover's dream spot. Food options depend on which food trucks they have visiting; last night, wood-fired pizzas dominated. Kids run amok (the area can feel like you're drinking beer in the middle of an elementary school recess), which makes this a great choice for parents. I'm more of an adult-vibes-only drinker, but there's no reason to avoid Calicraft. Two kolsch's & a tip were about $18. Two beers and a couple of hours of relaxing after a ride felt completely worth it to me. They played fun, energetic rock jams & the fire pits added a cozy feeling to an autumn afternoon. Cheers!

Awesome brewery hidden off the main roads and in the back of a big parking lot in a little industrial complex! Plenty of parking, dog friendly, lots of outdoor seating (and some indoor seating), super friendly and helpful staff. And the beers were super tasty and reasonably priced (I did a flight of 4 to try a bunch). They had a food tent making pizzas outside and I guess they have other food tents/trucks and events throughout the week. Definitely coming back here often to try more beers.

Calicraft makes great tasting beer right in the heart of Walnut Creek. They have a lot of outside seating and a fair amount of inside also. You can book different areas for an event, depending on your needs. For an inside room I was scoping, the price is around $10 per person, which does not include any beer. They had some food vendors on site but I didn't get a chance to try them out. If you're not sure what beer to order, check out the Oaktown Brown Ale!

Must check this place out!! Has great outdoor space with food truck vendors and a wider variety of drinks and non alcoholic drinks. We got the ciders, POG and white grape and they taste delicious. This place does get crowded but has ample parking and indoor/outdoor seating.

Great Brewery with quality beer. Love the open patio area with plenty of space to sit and enjoy your drinks. They offer beer to take home as well. Love this spot.

Don't let the unassuming location of a random industrial park fool you. The hidden location comes with a wide array of local brews plus ample parking. Whenever I visit home, this is the go-to spot to meet up with friends. They offer a little something for everyone, there are plenty of local brews on tap from hoppy IPAs to heavy stouts any everything inbetween. Even if beer isn't your thing they have hard fruit spritzers. As for the folks who are DD's pregnant or just don't want a drink they have non-alcoholic options available as well. Aside from the brews, something I appreciate about this brewery is the multigenerational atmosphere. This space welcomes families and is both kid and dog-friendly. There are plenty of tables for large groups, birthday parties and cozy corners for date nights. They don't serve food but they have rotating food trucks and welcome outside food. Once you reach the life stage where the majority of your friend group is starting families, it's nice to know that Calicraft is a space to sip on a cold one with friends in a space where they know their children are welcome.

While doing a little wedding anniversary trip to the bay, my husband and I came to Calicraft brewing because it was near our Airbnb. They have a large parking lot with plenty of outdoor seating. The indoor seating is limited, but there are spots. I love that they are both dog and kid-friendly, as we had our two large dogs with us. They appear to have a rotating food truck, and it was serving pizza the night we were there. They have a nice variety of beers on tap as well as some of their beers for sale to-go. My husband loved that they had Amber and red ale options. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in the area.

Cynthia B.

Yelp
Brewpub with lots of outdoor seatings - we brought our dogs- , great for groups. No restaurant on site. But on the day we visited (Sunday) , there was a pizza stand (check their calendar which food truck will be there). Beers are good with catchy names. I tried a fruit ale and a couple of IPAs. Bar service is good. A good place to spend a couple of hours to enjoy the wonderful weather. This brewpub is located in an industrial area with lots of parking.

If you haven't checked out Calicraft Brewing yet, you're missing out on a gem! Tucked away in an industrial park, this place is a hidden treasure with plenty of parking and an impressive lineup of their made on site brews. This is my go-to spot to hang out with friends. They have a fantastic selection, from hoppy IPAs to rich stouts, and even hard fruit spritzers for those who aren't big on beer. Plus, if you're the designated driver or just not in the mood for alcohol, they've got some great non-alcoholic options too. What really sets Calicraft apart is the welcoming, family-friendly vibe. It's great for groups, whether you're celebrating a birthday, catching up with friends, or just looking for a place to hang with your peeps on a sunny day. They're super dog-friendly, so you can bring your furry friends along, and you can bring your own food to picnic but there are always food trucks around if you get hungry too.

Fast service and good beer! The outdoor seating was plentiful, where the whole family could relax. They had a food truck today to get food, though we didn't get any. We took our pup here, and he enjoyed relaxing in the sun as we had our beer. We got here just before a large influx of people, but the line appeared to move quickly.

Tried out this brewery during my husbands and I staycation, and glad we did! Cute little spot with great service. Garret was very helpful and patient as we were picking our flight options. We appreciated they offered military discount! I really enjoyed the cool kidz varieties, I even bought a pack home There are non-alcoholic options as well! This is a kid/family friendly environment.

Giselle S.

Yelp
This a cool spot & I had no idea it was in Concord! My husband & I have tried & enjoyed their Cool Kidz that we picked up at our local Whole Foods so we were excited to visit the actual brewery. The parking lot is quite large & the outdoor seating space is large as well, a lot of covered & uncovered tables & lawn chairs to choose from. They also have a few large tables indoors that you can sit at. They have a variety of beers & spritz as well as slushy spritz! My favorites were the pomegranate blueberry slushy & the Cool Kidz Hazy on tap. The servers are SUPER friendly & the ambience is so laid back, we will definitely be returning!

Calicraft is an awesome neighborhood taproom and one of my favorite places to meet with friends in the area. From the solid draft menu to the lively outdoor seating area, Calicraft provides the ideal venue for a cold beer on a laid-back afternoon. The menu is small but offers something for everyone, from fruity spritzers to bold double IPAs. My personal is favorite is The City West Coast IPA, and I've also tried the Cruz California lager, which I would consider ordering again. There is usually a food truck onsite - I have seen taco trucks during each of my visits. You can also order cans to take home (and enjoy the neat designs on the labels). In terms of ambiance, the spacious outdoor seating area is set far enough from the street and nearby buildings that it is not readily evident that you are sitting in the middle of a business park. There is live music on weekends, and the overall atmosphere is family and pet friendly (each group seemed to have at least one). I can definitely see why Calicraft has become a neighborhood fixture.

Yelp
Wry cool and relaxing spot. Literally just hiked and came out of the mountains and found this place. The have music going and a bazaar outside. I'm not from the area but this place would be a go to if I lived around here. There is seating inside but it is nice outside so I planted there. Lots to choose from for beers as well.

Sampled tangerosa and spritzers - were not a huge fan. Really enjoyed tiki time wheat. The brewery itself does not offer food but the have vendors all the time. Follow them on IG for updates on food service.

What a fun little spot! And when I say "little", I don't mean that literally. This place is actually pretty damn huge. Geezuuuss... whyyy has it taken me soooo long to finally get here?! I remember seeing the signs on the street when this place first opened. It's down the street from one of my favorite weekend farmer's markets. I've been telling myself for years that I was gonna stop by. Welp, FINALLY made it here last year! And I can honestly say that I'm a fan. Good beer, good vibes, and good times! If you know me, you know that I'm a wino at heart. But every now and then, I gotta have a cold one or two. Dropped by on a Friday night and the place was bustling! Calicraft is located all the way at the end of a very inconspicuous parking spot on a random street in Walnut Creek. You would never know that this place was here if you weren't looking for it. They have a few a-frames out on the street which kind of helps. They've got a huge outdoor patio space that's decked out with several tables, lawn chairs, and barrels. There's also a smaller indoor area where you can sit inside, but the patio is definitely where it's at. It was super busy but all of the tables and barrels were spaced out pretty far and a lot of people were wearing masks even while they were outside. They had a live band playing and Cousin's Maine Lobster truck was there shelling out their lovable lobster rolls and clam chowder. Of course I had to get me some lobsta! They don't do taster flights here, but they'll let you try a splash of anything before you buy it. The beertenders are also super helpful and knowledgeable when it comes to recommendations based on your palate. I'm big on sours but sometimes they end up being a bit too tart for me. This was the case with their barrel aged sour blueberry. The beertender recommended that I try their popular Tiki Time tropical wheat and it was a hit. Ended up enjoying on the patio with my lobster roll and clam chowder. They have a pretty versatile tap list which I can appreciate. Many times I've gone to breweries where the majority of their taps are IPA's. Not everyone gets down like that, and I'm glad that these newer breweries are noticing this and adjusting to the times. Variety is definitely key. At night, the patio is all lit up with string lights. Didn't see any heat lamps, but that would be tough with the large space that they have anyways. Definitely a super fun spot to kick it, especially when it's warm out. Now that I've finally been here, I have no excuses. It's too close to not stop by again soon.

Calicraft Brewing is a wonderful beer garden that offers spacious outdoor seating and live music. There is ample parking and children and pets are welcome. We came to try some of their hard fruit spritzers, Passionfruit Orange Guava (POG) and Raspberry Lemon. Both were equally tasty and refreshing. It's made with real fruit and complex like wine without the grapes but tastes like a cider without the apples! Sounds a bit confusing but it's absolutely delightful. I'd love to try a flight next! I'm not really a beer drinker but the menu constantly changes and I'm intrigued! They feature fruity flavors that I'm sure I'd enjoy. A peach sour? Yum! Calicraft has rotating food trucks in their parking lot daily. When we came, Al Pastor Papi was here. Since we have never tried this food truck before, we ordered a few items to enjoy with our beverages. You can also bring your own food too. The ambiance here is relaxing. It was a beautiful evening and a nice change of pace. Can't wait to return in the warmer months when the days are longer.

Yelp
Great beer, super friendly staff, wonderful outdoor beer garden experience with trees and ample seating. However, all outdoor seats are subject to the very LOUD generator of the nearby food truck, making peaceful afternoon enjoyment impossible. So unfortunate customers are subjected top this. Maybe think of relocating the location or orientation of the food truck?! Otherwise the perfect spot.

Yelp
Been here many times. Great set up. I don't know why breweries like this are in industrial areas but it's easy in and out and plenty of parking. Good beers as always and we do buy Cool Kids in the store. Any place that allows dogs is always a plus. On the weekends with the loud, almost unsupervised kids running around can get a little annoying and the only reason I don't give 5 stars. But good place to swing by on a Saturday for a nice beers, and then over the Mike Hess around the corner.

If your looking for a place to have a birthday party for children, this is the place to go. There were more little kids here than adults. Kids screaming everywhere and didn't pass the brewery vibe check. I purchased some food from the food truck, I bought 1 chicken slider, one side of fries, and a pork/cheese fries. It cost me $40 for those 3 items. Food wasn't that good and would not buy again. I had a sour beer which was good so that's why I'm giving 2 stars. I will not be coming back.

Upon arival i was alittle nervous as it was in a industrial area and it looked like there were a bunch of homeless children, but i took a wrong turn When u walked in Alexis and garrett welcomed me with a smile. And gave me an ok recommendation at first after drinking them i realized it was a finer option as there were 6 people with me and we tried the whole menu and EVERYONE LOVED my flight order It wad the coast tiki karl the flog and pog Defintely will come here again and tell all my friends i asked for garrett and alexis hours so i could tell my friends to come when they are working

Visiting calicraft was a really fun afternoon sipping craft beer and small bites on a sunny fall day! The venue offers indoor and outdoor seating with a nice patio and seating in a nice area in the parking lot. Calicraft beer is great! We enjoyed the wide range of double and juicy IPAs. We even tried their berry seltzer slushies, and they were delicious! They don't have food, but they have food trucks regularly. We had great fries and fried Brussels sprouts, which pairs excellently with a cold, citrus DIPA. The place is fun for all with games for for the kids and beer for the parents and friends. Enjoy! We will be back!

Places like this are why I want to start my own brewery. It's the type of beer they can bring tears to yo.

UPDATE: Made a reservation to host an event at CaliCraft and it went better than I expected... the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. Our guests loved the location and were very pleased with the service and friendliness. Thanks so much for making our high school reunion so amazing!

I have been wanting to try this place for awhile. We ended up trying this place for the first time last week after I saw a post from one of my old classmates from high school that they made a commemorative beer for another classmate of ours, Cliff Burton of Metallica!!! Yeah, my high school produced several 80's heavy metal bass players! There was a craft show going on that Saturday and there was a food truck too if you wanted some food to go down with that IPA. Nice size covered patio and a few tables indoors. The beers were solid and we picked up some of Cliff 'Em All IPA. Part of the proceeds go to the musical scholarship that Ciff's Dad setup after his death. Good place to go with some buddies or friends to throw down some beers on a warm afternoon.

"Giant Festival + Beer of Course" Every time I visit this brewery I am amazed how many patrons they have. Today, it was like a farmers market. There were quite a few plant and handicraft sellers right beside the brewery. What will they think of next? Despite the crowd, there was plenty of seating, and I quickly found a table under the shade. Currently, you have to use a QR code and order and pay from your table. I'm not a fan of this and prefer a more personal touch. However, my order was delivered promptly, and the process worked well. After you have your brew, check out the new garden near the parking lot.

A hidden gem in Contra Costa. I usually travel outside of the county for beer gardens and thanks to Yelp I was pleasantly surprised to find such a large beer garden in Walnut Creek. It's independently located in a business park so you don't have to work about parking which is a challenge at times when in downtown Walnut Creek. There's a large parking along with a large beer garden so even on the most busy night you do not need to worry about finding seating for you and your party. Service is amazing. They have so many wonderful options on tap, if you're unsure of what to get the beertenders ask you about your favorite type of brews to help you find something you like and offer samples as well. While in the garden staff is out there clearing out tables and helping folks out if you want one of the heat lamps turned on. I love how they have such a broad spectrum of brews available for all the beer snobs out there but if you or someone in your party is t into beer they even have alcoholic spritzers so it's nice that they have a little something for everyone. Even if there's someone in your party who doesn't drink, I saw they have a soda option in one of their fridges in the corner. On weekends they have live music and food trucks. If the current rotation of food trucks doesn't speak to your palate you can bring outside food. Overall the environment in inclusive of everyone. People bring their kids, their dogs and whatnot. Despite the wide variety of people congregating here it's still such a fun night. I can't wait to spend more summer nights here with family and friends!

Slava C.

Yelp
For some beers yes, for some beers now, that's what the variety is all about. Small but relatively good selection of traditional beers. No food on side however do have a really good food truck appetizers and meals selection. Place's by patio grew on half of the parking lot, which makes it nice and cool during the hot summer nights. Highly recommend to give it a try. There is enough place and drinks for everyone.

I love going to Cali craft! Everyone is super friendly. The space is large and can accommodate big groups inside and outside. Pets are welcome and the food trucks complement the drinks! I love going when citizen pizza is there and getting a frozen cider.

Came here last weekend for a friend's birthday party. This is a great place for groups since they have lots of long picnic tables - they also allow you to bring your food, which is great in case you want to bring a cake or other festive foods. Their beers is also great - they also have seltzer slushies, which are great since it's so hot in Walnut Creek!

Moua L.

Yelp
Love this place for group gatherings. Super family-friendly, relaxed, and chill. Even on the weekends, you can find good spots to hang out with your friends. This past Saturday, there was a live band that played for a duration of 4 hours while we were there. Never had I gone to a beer garden and watched a live band going for that long. I'd say that was pretty awesome!

Stopped in on the 2nd Saturday of SF Beer Week 2023 and had a great experience. Short beer ordering line, fast friendly service. Very great product - glad I got to enjoy 2 cask conditioned triple IPAs! Lots of parking. Food trucks still rolling thru regularly.

Joanna H.

Yelp
Super spacious brewery with plenty of outdoor seating! The host was really nice and allowed us to choose whether we wanted to sit on the patio or in the parking lot area (we opted for the patio). You scan the QR code on your table to see the draft list and your server takes your order for beer and food. Calicraft has partnered with the Sip & Slide food truck. You order food from Sip & Slide with your server and the food will be brought to your table from the food truck. Note: You must order one main entree per table along with your beer(s) as it is a county requirement (the sides and dessert items on the menu do not qualify as an entree). I got The Bay IPA and my friend got Karl the Fog IPA- both were great! I really enjoyed spending my warm Saturday afternoon on the patio sipping on some cold beer. Best brewery in Walnut Creek, I can't wait to come back when I'm in the area!

Oof. Some of the rudest bartenders. Ever. Guy helping us gave us the shittiest attitude. Low-key misogynistic, giving my wife (who's a certified sommelier, by the way) some lip when she asked for HIS recommendation. Hard pass. Never again. There's great beer in Walnut Creek with FAR BETTER services. This place ain't it.

So far I've come here twice and had a relaxed evening each time. They are pet friendly and have plenty of outdoor seating styles for a decent sized crowd with lots of space between. I brought my dog the first night and he sat on the bench with me no problem. My second visit was during live music performance and we tried their spritzer slushies which are awesome by the way! They have 2 flavors, I opted for the POG! It was a bit sweeter than the other flavor. I like that this location is a bit hidden away, the other customers are generally friendly, good vibes. I noticed it is also pretty family friendly, saw a lot of kids during my last visit with their families. Reminiscent of a backyard bbq for the neighborhood!

Alexis B.

Yelp
I was able to attend a virtual event with Calicraft and used their order ahead, distance pick up and it worked to perfection! I called when I got there and told them my car and they brought it right out. I'm a Kolsch and IPA fan so I got a 6 pack of their Coast Kolsch and Cool Kidz Juicy IPA and I had recently heard about their new fruit spritzer so I added the Pineapple Mango! The Kolsch was light and refreshing, perfect for a hot day and didn't make it past the weekend. The IPA was hoppy but fruity and not to heavy. The real surprise was the Pineapple Mango Spritzer. I'm usually just a beer drinker and stay clear of the "spritzer craze" but this spritizer was delightful! You can taste the pineapple and mango but they weren't overpowering and it was light and refreshing. I'll be ordering more beer during this shelter this place!

CaliCraft is one of my tried and true east bay breweries. The staff is always chill, the beer is great, parking is easy, and I love how casual the vibe is- I can go dressed up, but I can also go in yoga pants. The one downside is that it gets HOT during the summer because the beer garden is in a parking lot, and there is limited indoor seating. Not a lot of shade outside either. It also gets super crowded on a nice day, but if you're there outside of a spring time Friday happy hour, it's pretty easy to find a seat.

Been here few times. Solid beer, don't buy their stuff a lot in the store but we do sometimes. Like the brewery, and my softball league always has their pay for teams night here, which is kind of cool. It is a very kid friendly brewery though, so if you come on a Saturday prepare for a thousand kids. You get a lot of the usual rude parents who don't comprehend other people exist, that's a little annoying and what has kept us away from the brewery more than not. Don't mind kids but not running around like it's a play ground, getting in people's way, screaming and parents who don't give two shits if their kids are brats. Be very careful driving because the kids are out there in the parking lot running around without a care in the world. I don't get it. But good brewery itself. I was wearing a Calicraft shirt at a Beer festival once and someone who worked here saw me and freaked out, it was pretty funny.

Shawn B.

Yelp
CaliCraft is a great outdoor brewery that you can bring the whole family too. They have excellent food trucks & an awesome atmosphere. I really enjoy their AC/DC beers. Wishing they would carry it on tap more often but i still enjoy many of the other beers they have on tap. Responding: @Vira C. "The Bay Deva" as she calls herself. Here is a person who has shown her true colors. She is a race baiter and hater. Calling someone a karen & a racist because the tap tender didn't empty her til so you could have change for a $100 bill after paying for a couple of drink is idiotic. No one would do that. No small business would allow that, especially these days. For you to slam her and others coworkers (other yelp posts) makes you the Karen, you spoiled little brat. CaliCraft has right to refuse your business at anytime. I hope they do.

I had their Beers at numerous local restaurants and also bumped into the Brewery during a Yelp event a 1 1/2 year ago. Guavas Trees and the City IPA's are few of my favorites.I jumped at the opportunity to get some to go because of the special Elite code that coincides with the Elite trivia night tomorrow. I had ordered online and had prepaid using "square" which is linked to my credit card. I was able to pick up at Brewery and it was a cinch. I had purchased Tiki Time which is a Tropical Wheat beer. It's not too sweet and its a BBq type beer; even though those aren't in the foreseeable future. Calicraft has plenty of parking and it's a cool place to hang out. I can't wait for the Pandemic to end, but I will continue to support local businesses and brewers.

Wow 4 years since I have been here. Attending a friends birthday party brought me back. They expanded their outdoor area into the parking lot with tons of tables and tents. inside is still chill. Upping my rating to 4 stars because its a cool place to hang out. Beers are still very average though none wee hat great to me and sadly they don't make many West Coast style IPAS they were only serving one while I was there. Tons of hazys though if thats your thing.

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Friendly neighborhood-feel tasting room with good beers and good vibes. My local friends who are fans brought me here one scorching afternoon to enjoy some brews and the AC. Since it was such a hot day the patio out front which apparently normally gets packed was pretty empty and the inside was crowded. There was also a private party going on which made things more hectic but everyone still managed to be chill and friendly. I went with a flight to try a variety of their beers and really enjoyed them, especially the lighter ones, considering the heat. I'd definitely love to come back and check them out again when it's a little calmer and not as diabolically hot!

We love it here! But man, there are definitely way too many kids running around screeching to give this place 5 stars for a brewery / beer garden. Parents seem to enjoy coming here to have full days of drinking beer in the sun and let their kids run around unsupervised. Expect them to jump on your table, run wild up to your dog, do hand stands right in front of you while you're carrying beer, etc. Small kids have taken this place over. As long you are drinking enough to not let the high pitched screams bother you it's worth a visit. Service is always good and staff seem to empathize with the unpleasantness of the loud shrieks but not much they can do except turn the music up...
