Full Circle Brewing Co.

Great brewery in downtown Fresno. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. They have multiple beers (I don't drink beer) and a cool selection. Black owned business which is nice. He's a very nice and personable. Makes everyone feel welcome! I'll def attend their events when able.

8 of us rolled into Fresno looking for beer and food. Not only did we find these two things, but we also found a place to change a flat tire and one of the coolest breweries on our 8000km trip (and we hit A LOT of breweries). Thanks to the staff for their understanding and tire-changing shelter - it was raining cats and dogs, and changing a rear flat in the rain sucks! Full Circle is located in an 'interesting' part of town, but worth the trip. I would highly recommend for the ambiance, staff and tastee beer.

A pleasant stop for a beer with street parking in an industrial neighborhood. I was stayed for about an hour with my laptop and was just about the only other person here. Comfortable table against the wall and with no live band on this Tuesday afternoon, a chill vibe. Ernie's Kolsch was crisp and delicious. I'd suggest getting that!

I saw this on Tap @ Popolos Pizza 🍕 and had to try it. It definitely lived up to its name nice citrus flavor and a Juicy Hazy to boot! I'm partial to my favorite beer in Sacramento but Fresno which is my hometown definitely has good brews!!! I'm glad I tried it and will have to visit the Brewery next time I'm in town.

If you come during the hot months this place is cooler than outside but can be warm still. Always friendly a atmosphere and has food vendors and live events. Just don't park here, take an Uber or lyft.

#171 on my world brewery tour! I had the stout which was very good! They were setting up for a jam session but i didn’t stay.

Best bunch of people a guy could meet ...they have really helped me and my team step up and make a name for ourselves....thanks for all ur support full circle brewing.....oh dont forget to grab some of the the wicked awesome new England ipa's.....juicy is great but that peach bomb ......yumo

Best place to enjoy music great staff and all kinds of really tasty beer

We stopped in here just for a beer yesterday because (1) we realized we hadn't been in for about 15 years; (2) we heard the beer was better than it had been 15 years ago and in fact had won awards. Mid-Saturday afternoon there were a few other customers but it was by no means crowded. We were able to walk right up to the bar and order right away. In retrospect, we should have tried a couple of different beers but we were both in the mood for / curious about the (aforementioned award winning) Big Daddy IPA. It was a good IPA and much better than the beer was 15 years ago, when we used to come for events but eventually stopped because (back then) the beer was just not good. It's really good now. The space feels a lot bigger and is more open now which is good for events. The decor is dark / painted black, with some skull themed decor. When we were there they were setting up for an "extreme metal" event but we left before it got underway. Next time we go I want to try the new Fresno State themed beer. I think it's called "Victory" something and is a blonde ale iirc. It's a nice brewery, comfortable and convenient with good beer, and we will be back. It would get a fifth star if they offered some food or had a food truck onsite. :) At my age it's hard to drink on an empty stomach-- I get intoxicated too easily...

I like how big this brewery is. The inside is really spacious with a stage for live bands, the outside is even bigger with spots for board games, corn hole and another stage. They have some pretty good beers, the Captain save a Hop West Coast IPA was my favorite from the flight I tried. They're pretty much located across the street from Tioga-Sequoia brewery so it's a great area to come if you're looking to try out a few breweries while you're in town.

Unfortunately we didn't get to experience this place on a high but I know this place get crowded. The art work is amazing and the staff was super cool. They didn't have much options when we were there but what they did have was good. There is so much seating available it would be impossible for you to not find a good seat. Cool spot, wish we lived closer

We found Full Circle when searching to purchase a keg for our home bar. We absolutely loved the atmosphere! The staff were kind, bringing out toys for my children to play with while mom and dad enjoyed a variety of beers. They had quite the selection, appeasing all types of beer lovers. We came home with a keg of their limited release of Peach Wheat. It was hit at our party!

Oh, this was an excellent beer experience... The beer we had was Pie of the Tiger. This was an apricot sour style beer. I was excellent with the apricot but in addition you can detect cinnamon which results in a wonderful mouthfeel kind of beer. Some sour beers are just too sugared up for me but this beer was simply splendid that Steve and I shared. Many other promising beers are in their repertoire and if the opportunity arises to try more of their beer I most certainly will!

I really enjoyed my michelada here. On Monday's they also have a guy making fried rice on the back patio. They had tons of vendors too. The service was great. The ambiance was very clean inside and outside the brewery. I love the murals outside on the patio.

It's very spacious, they have a ton of events during the weekend to meet anyone's vibe or interest. I went for trivia and it was a lot of fun, it could be managed in a better fashion that is less confusing or more based on secret written answers instead of a raise your hand and say the answer. The outdoor patio is V cute though it's currently too hot to enjoy that space. This is very goth meets beer and it's refreshing to see a different dynamic in beer culture. I was sad they ran out of the michelada beer as that's why I came and disappointed they couldn't make one eventhough they had michelada mix and beer.

This place is cool! They have live music and the environment here is great, the bartenders are nice, the restrooms are clean. If you get a chance, try the tacos got out back, they are delicious.

I just came here for the first time ever(I know) for a show and I will be honest I was completely deflated. I don't want to trash this place, obviously the beers do well to keep it going and it has a certain following(the music crowd of course) but it was nothing stellar and I wouldn't return unless I had to meet someone there. Most notably the beer selection is super sparse for a brewery. The screens display a "draft list" yet the first 3 beers I asked for were only available in a can. The girl was helpful and offered suggestions but I was turned off by that point. Location is right next to modernist, tioga sequoia, so the area is favorable due to the (as of now)planned expanding around there. Unfortunate first impression.

Great beer selection. Has a lot of space to sit inside and outside. They do concerts and shows. Etc. customer service is good. Very customer friendly

Full Circle Brewing Company was an invited guest at the 4th Annual Rotary Club of Roseville (CA) Taco Throwdown, held in Roseville, CA. Fresno is a 3+ hour drive from Roseville, but Full Circle made the trip, and offered their amazing craft beer to the crowd. The Taco Throwdown was a one-price, all-you-can-eat-and-drink event, and Full Circle had two beers on tap, "Peachy Vibes" and "Juicy Vibes." Both beers were on-tap, and poured as much as you could drink at this event. The "Peachy Vibes" was a great beer, with a definite "peach" taste to it, as Fresno is "peach country" in central California. The "Juicy Vibes," in my humble beer drinkin' opinion stole the show, as it's a smooth lager beer, with a very robust, slightly "European" flavor to it. Great beer! The staff at the temporary booth were amazingly friendly, and treated me like family. Great beer, brewed and served by great people! The next time I visit Fresno, I plan to take a detour to Fulton Ave and visit the brewery, and enjoy some of the finest beer made in Fresno. Five Stars, anyway you look at it!

Updating my review for their not so new location on Fulton-glad they are part of the Brewery District-although the old F street location was unique and I hope one day that part of town is revitalized as well. Lots of indoor and outdoor space on Fulton and they make use of it, tons of events weekly. My most recent visit was during their Oktoberfest 2022 day. Cute photo opps and some games, vendors , the pretzel truck had the most delicious pretzel and cheese, and of course beers! This a good indoor stop during any Fresno pub crawl. Cheers!

The staff was amazing, shout out to the homie handling it Black Friday evening. He was friendly and welcomed this LA kid with open arms to Fresno. All of their "illa" series are fantastic if you like a vanilla forward, creamy, and hazy IPA with lactose. You will definitely find a solid here. The blueberry was refreshing, and the strawberry was like drinking a strawberry shortcake ice cream bar from the ice cream truck. I can't wait to try the others: captain save-a-hop, Chinatown, and feeling my Stout

Good selection of beers with flavor profiles exceeding expectations. Their house made Michaelada is one of the better. The peachy wheat has a good lager profile with a hint of peach. Outside courtyard is very nice to just hangout and enjoy a few beers. I was disappointed we came after an event 2 nights before and their selection was lacking a few beers I was looking forward to tasting.

Had a horrible experience witnessing a few of the employees talk about the "annoying Mexican music" that someone was playing on their music system. I'm not Mexican, but I 100% was offended hearing them talk so negatively about it, and it was Selena. Who doesn't like Selena? Honestly, don't bother coming here if this is what this establishment stands for. You have people from all walks of life who go here, I see it on social media all the time, and this is disappointing. This place doesn't deserve to last. Maybe if all the Clovis people will support it, it'll last. ‍

Have been here many times over the years, before and after ownership change a few years back. It's always been a community-minded business. The beers have always been good, but I do really like the new stuff they've created and the quirky cool names. I like stronger, hoppier beers than they tend to create, but that's ok; they make me try new things. They make some pretty good sour and fruity beers. The space is a huge old industrial building. They brew here and it's cool to see all the equipment and such. The huge space allows for them to have a lot of events including tons of music shows. The only downside is the huge space doesn't have any A/C! (The only reason I gave 4 instead of 5 stars.) Full Circle seems really committed to Fresno, especially downtown, and I love them for that. Our last visit was for the all-ages pumpkin carving event they hosted the week before Halloween. For $8 we got a medium sized pumpkin, small carving knife a beer - what a fantastic deal since their beers are around $7 each (excellent price for a beer anyway)! I loved watching all the kids carving their pumpkins - most did a much better job than my teenage daughter and me, but it's the fun that counts :) They were also pretty organized, lots of table and they brought out more since so many people showed up. The crowd was really polite; kids weren't loud or crying; everyone was having a good time. Only downside to this particular event was we were really looking forward to having Me n Ed's pizza slices, but the pizza was weird; super thick crust and cheese that kept sliding off. Oh well.

everytime i try to come to a venue here they never give a proper address, nowhere do they advertise you need tickets so i went and had to drive thru an insane amount of detours wasting a lot of gas, sent me back to my car multiple times before they let me in then said we needed 35 dollar tickets that was said nowhere on any flyer or advertisement i found and they took a marker of mine and didn't give it back after telling me we needed tickets. extremely unprofessional place none of the employees even knew what they were doing attending me and my friends.

Horrible service. Do not go and waste your time. We waited over 10 minutes and got yelled at by the staff that we should have stood at a nonexistent line while at the bar.

Currently at an outdoor show at this venue. Nice facility, however the food truck took over an hour and a half to serve an order of a burger and fries. There was only three people in the truck, one of them holding a baby. Every time we would approach and ask about our order status we hear the same answer of "give it 10 minutes". We basically missed the entire show that we came to see because we were fighting for our food.

Where do I begin? I've always been back and forth with beers and always tried new brews but I have never had a staple go to beer. Well that's over with. I mainly drink sours and I have now found my favorites. These beers are absolutely amazing. The wonderful light fruit notes they manage to get into these sours is crazy! Not to mention they don't have that "synthetic" taste you might find in others. Everyone I get to try it falls in love right away. If you haven't yet grab some of these! Oh and the holiday cranberry one is just what you need for that holiday celebration! Thank you Full Circle for creating such an amazing product.

Had a flight here and it was good! You do not get to pick what's in the flight but it was a good mixture. I purchased the Groupon so we also got a tour of the place. It was very interesting. We got to see the wheat, the fridge and everything we wanted to. It was a very interesting place and I will be returning. The staff was very friendly and very accommodating. They have bands that play on weekends so hoping to return for that. Unfortunately it is mainly open, so no air conditioning. It was definitely hot and over 100 degrees when I went. Dress in summer attire. Parking is mainly street parking.

My wife and I grabbed some food and decided to come to full circle for a couple beers before going to the grizzlies game. This is our second time at the brewery and definitely enjoyed our experience both times! The beer is great, it has a bit of an industrial but cozy feel, and we got to enjoy some live music! Can't really beat that!

If you like anything Hazy, Seasonal, or Sour related, this place is gonna be your jam. Great lineup with something for everyone. The place is huge and has live music going throughout the week. What I most admire here is the management led by Mike Mooney. He went above and beyond to explain the different options they have on tap, and gave complimentary tastings to help us decide what to order. The guys that put this place together helped Firestone Walker get started, so you know the beer is gonna be good here. It was my first time in Fresno but if I'm ever making the trip again from LA to NorCal or vice versa it's a great place to stop for a pint or 6pack to-go. Cheers.

Full circle has been rebranded and improved. Better vibe, overall look, and maybe most importantly better beers. If you haven't been in since the change, come check it out. Lot of potential here..curious to see how they continue to grow.

I love this place so much, I'm there errday & I have a good time. Stouts are excellent the apple cider is my fav. Music is jumping

I'd tried a few Full Circle beers at events around town in recent years and none of them really stood out to me. Fortunately, when I got a chance to go to their home I found one I enjoyed. It seems like they've made improvements since the management changed hands and more people around me have been talking about it, too. The location definitely isn't my favorite. It's in an old sheet metal factory off Ventura Street. Downtown roads noticeably deteriorate as you approach it. I can't help but think they should really be located closer to Broadway and Fulton - I'd be much likelier to go. There are a lot of homeless people around, which I don't think poses a particular threat, but it does rather set the tone of your arrival. It's also just slightly too far out of the way for a drink before a game or event at Chukchansi Park as it wouldn't be a pleasant walk, which is a shame and feels like a missed opportunity. The actual building is cool, pretty rugged. I like the big archway and there's plenty of space. The bar's good for sitting at and the bartenders were all happy to help. They're happy to give you a couple of sips taster of any of the beers you want to try. There were 6 or 7 on the menu when I was there. I went for the Cluster Fuggle Cream Ale, a super light lager with a creamy top. It's hard to describe - it's not thick like a Guinness creaminess, more like very fine bubbles. Anyway, I liked it. It's subtle. There seems to be a pretty good calendar of events. I don't know if I'll be back anytime soon but I was pleasantly surprised.

Love the new brick building. Didn't love the cheap and uncomfortable chairs. They look temporary. Maybe add some plants, couches, nice chairs, and play areas for both kids and adults. Loved the west coast IPA too. Would love to see some more traditional styles of beer.

We had such a great time at the pumpkin carving event! It was a great time for the family. Staff was great. The beers are awesome and we can not wait to go back to full circle.

My favorite beer is all of them! But I would say my go to is L'eggo My Stout . It is a perfect blend of toasty maple flavors.

Mediocre beer, and terrible horrible management. The CEO has tried to pick fights with business owners across the street. Very rude and unprofessional.

Stopped here on the way for a Christmas visit in Reedley. They offer a large amount of beers on draft and also to take home. Parking is plentiful in this part of Fresno as it is being developed as the brewery district. Down the street is Tioga Sequioa brewing which is our regular stop but we decided to try something different. I love the facility for sure! A huge warehouse vibe with loads of seating spaced out. The young woman pouring beers was friendly and the art work is cool to look at. Across the street is a taco place and you can bring in food to eat. They only offer small snacks for purchase per most brewery style places. Unfortunately the beer left me underwhelmed a bit. I had a fruity pomegranate sour that was pretty tasty, but my fellow beer drinker had a wheat beer that was actually pretty nasty. When drinking with my man, we often take sips of eachothers beverages and after sipping his, I was like, "EWWWW", and asked him if he wanted me to go and return it. His response, "I've had worse." Yikes, it was supposed to be an orange style Blue Moon type of beer but really tasted badly. He insisted on finishing it though and kept saying, "At least it isn't Budweiser." Anyways, I still say this is a four star brewery due to everything else about it. The bathrooms are clean and they have a stage. As we were sitting there some guys were setting for a show that evening which looked like it would be heck-a-fun. And I am sure if you had a pour you didn't like, they would give you another. So many choices too. Also, I don't choose wheat beers much anymore as they are usually too filling. Suggestion, ask for a sample before committing to a full pour, as they are awesome with giving samples! I will be back here next time I go through Fresno. Cheers and Happy Drinking!

This brewer is touted as the oldest in Fresno,Ca. They have one thing right, they're dated alright. While I enjoy their artistic and clever labels, their fluid lacks some luster. Better luck next time as you've lost me as a influential customer.

Beer is always amazing! No arguing that but why this place deserves a 5 star from me is because of who is working in that building especially Matty! He was so knowledgeable and passionate about what he does it made me want to try everything he suggested. All my beer money will now be allocated to this tap house because of how awesome my service was in the middle of a pandemic! CHEERS BUD!

What a cool district in Fresno. I got a chance to check out Full Circle a little earlier in the day and it looks like a fun place to be in the evenings and on the weekends for sure. Great stage for music and some really good beers. I'll have to check this place out later in the evening to see how it comes to life.

for some strange reason covid-19 brought me to full circle. we were gona do a delivery order with them but when we realized how close we were we decided to do a pick up. not them best idea to go down there during a pandemic lol! not the best part of town but c'mon, it's not like we're licking the floor. anyway, the lady who met me in the back part of the building was really sweet. it was cool seeing what was in the back. their beer is delish!! I got Ernie's Experiment. yum! thanks for accommodating us during this crazy time!

A great local brewery, on the "wrong side of the tracks".... Just a stupid joke, as it took me forever to find, until I crossed the train tracks... The beer is outstanding! And, the guys working here are great! Very friendly & helpful. Kinda a dive brewery if you have been to all the "fancy" ones, but this IS a must visit if in the area...

Best brewery/ bar in Fresno! Great beer and entertainment. Bartenders and Security are always so nice and respectful unlike Strummers!

We stopped by this place on our drive home and I'm glad we found it. Big ample space with a stage and lots of seating. We came on a Wednesday around lunchtime so it wasn't busy, which was great since the bartender and I believe owner or manager answered all our questions. They gave us lots of samples and explained each beer, as well as gave us some history on the place. Docking a star because there wasn't any food.

Best brewery in all of Fresno hands down! Beer selection is off the hook. The staff is super friendly. And they have the best venue for Concerts. They also bring in the best bands/ performers from everywhere to perform

The place has two addresses locations blocks from each other. One has no street parking with a lot of homeless and piles of garbage, that looks closed. The second location was open has street parking, looked cleaner location but very much a dive. Could not get into website it is not phone friendly. They show photos of beer with food yet no food was available- could bring your own food in. Price of beer was average, the blonde was enjoyable could be served colder. There is a stage but not much area to dance and the concrete floor had pits. Clean bathroom but it was a Thursday night. Large majority of the people there were only there because of who the entertainment was and knowing most of them said the same thing "would only return to that place to support the entertainment" not the venue.

Full Circle Brewing makes delicious beer for every type of beer drinker. I tried their Pie of the Tiger, Milkshake IPAs, and Captain Save a Hop. Not only are the beers fantastic, the names are hilarious. If you see them at Total Wine (or anywhere), pick some up immediately! Also, visit them when you are in Fresno. The staff is awesome and the beer is so refreshing in any weather. I can't wait to visit again.

I never knew this place existed. I was able to try 6 beers, but the Cluster was my favorite, so I got the to go 32 oz. Cool atmosphere, just wish there were more people. Arcade and pool table available.

Full circle acquired this location by forcing out the (mom and pops) Zack's Brewing company in a way that can only be considered as sleazy. I don't know why they did this but in taking over the building they provide an inferior product to Zack's. Their beer is uninspired but safe, no adventure to be had here. It's a nice hangout while you drink, however that's because Zack's remodeled the place and full circle just slapped their name on it. If you don't like it, Tioga brewing is right across the street.

Wow, did this Chinatown bar make a giant turnaround with the new ownership! Sure, the location may be far away from the rest of Downtown Fresno (that will eventually change in the future with the new HSR line), but the empty space around it means there is no problem finding parking. I really like the brand new bar area made of reclaimed wood, the multitude of tables and chairs (never have a problem finding a place to sit here), and the couches and big screen TVs. The neon lighting is also a really nice touch. Of course, the real star of the show is the ever-expanding tap selection: they have some great IPAs in addition to a standard selection of lighter and darker beers. There are constantly events going on here, but it's also a cool, chill place to just watch a game.

My all time favorite is the NE Juicy IPA! This particular IPA has a been my all time favorite ! Totally recommend this brewery for great beer and great entertainment!!

Full Circle Brewing is a great place that serves great beer. While I enjoy all of their selection, my personal favorite right now is their Peachy Vibes Wheat Ale. It's smooth just like a Wheat Ale with a hint of peach in it which makes it refreshing. Whether you completely enjoy unique craft beer, or enjoy live music, or just wanting to find your tribe, come to Full Circle.

So sad to hear they're closing! Someone needs to buy this full on brewery! The beer is great. The atmosphere is rugged but safe. I don't know...it must have been a life decision more than a business decision. I'm going tonight...Nate at the movies final run. Update: not really closing...changing hands to a new dynamic owner. More to come!

The hospitality and patience of the team is amazing. John Mooney gave me great personalized beer recommendations. I came during lunch hour and the environment was relaxing and inviting. Every staff member although i was serviced by John gave me welcoming vibes and smiles. I hope to come back during a live show and enjoy some food with friends! Thank you for making me feel valued.
