Seasonal house brews and savory pies in an industrial setting
"Berkeley-born beer maker Fieldwork Brewing Company rolls up the garage doors at its eighth outpost today, Friday, September 9. Find the new Fieldwork beer garden and taproom at 100 West Juana Avenue in San Leandro — a few blocks from the San Leandro BART station for those looking for a safe mode of transportation to and from the bar — and at an impressive 7,800 total square feet earns the title of the brewery’s largest location to date. Just in time for the Bay Area’s much anticipated cool down, the new dining and drinking destination looks to welcome customers to a large outdoor space anchored by a 75-year-old olive tree stretching skyward under an open ceiling. And there’s ample space for everyone to play thanks to fire pits, loveseats with coffee tables, picnic tables, a standing bar room area, as well as a dedicated kids’ area. Inside expect 32 taps spilling beers including crisp and clean lagers, a salted and sour blueberry gose, IPAs of both the single and double varieties, and a creamy chocolate milk stout. Two wines and two feer flights round out the drink options. On the food side look for wings, salads, and pizzas in two styles: Neapolitan and Detroit. Fieldwork debuted in 2015 in Berkeley and has since expanded with locations across the Bay Area including Corte Madera, Monterey, Napa, Sacramento, San Mateo, San Ramon, and now San Leandro. The new taproom and beer garden transforms a former 1960s Firestone Auto Service Center into a beer destination with a 265-person capacity outdoors and room for an additional 65 people inside." - Lauren Saria
"Dotted around the Bay from Sacramento to Monterey, four of the seven Fieldwork Brewing locations will all be streaming the game (Berkeley, San Ramon, Corte Madera, and Sacramento). Since 2014, the Berkeley-born business has spread like a much more positive wildfire throughout NorCal. Home delivery is an option for anyone hosting parties at home. Their “Dreaming in Neon” beer, born right before the pandemic hit in 2020, has been a big hit." - Paolo Bicchieri
"Fieldwork Brewing, originally founded in Berkeley, is expanding and reopening its Sacramento location. The taproom says it has tripled the size of the patio, going from 1,400 to 4,900 square feet, and a fresh menu is serving up pizza, salads, and a baked feta with charred cherry tomatoes." - Becky Duffett
"Some say Fieldwork is the best brewery in the whole Bay Area, and it’s hard to argue with its exceptionally huge, juicy, and citrusy flavors, especially when it comes to hazy IPAs. But Fieldwork does it all well: West Coast IPAs, sours, fruity beers, saisons, brown ales, altbiers, and more. The brewery is currently offering both curbside pickup, two-hour home delivery (with a minimum three-item purchase), and direct shipping of both crowlers and cans, seven days a week. Order online. (The patio opens for outdoor dine-in service on June 19.)" - Luke Tsai, Janelle Bitker
"Prolific Berkeley-based brewery Fieldwork is expanding again, opening what will be its seventh taproom in Town Center Corte Madera." - Caleb Pershan
