"Our favorite breakfast taco pop-up is headed to Temescal Brewing in Oakland on May 2nd as part of their Yoga & Beer event (10am-12pm). For $25, you’ll get an hour-long yoga class on the brewery’s sunny patio and a pint of beer. LoJo’s excellent tacos filled with things like maple-glazed bacon and fluffy scrambled eggs will also be available for purchase. If you can’t make the yoga class, LoJo’s will be serving to the public from 12-2pm." - julia chen 1
"With craft breweries all leaning hard on that cavernous industrial look, Temescal Brewing stands out for its commitment to Memphis, that pastel squiggle-filled aesthetic that looks like Saved By The Bell or a graphically advanced early-’90s bedspread. A frequent host of the exceptionally diverse Queer First Fridays, this place also has a sizable outdoor area where you can throw back a huge range of hazy IPAs, their various hop profiles front-and-center, alongside more unusual offerings like Guava Boat (a pale ale) and a cocoa-forward Scottish ale. In an industry long dominated by cis white men, Temescal Brewing stands out for its commitment to equity and inclusiveness—but most of all, it’s just a really fun place to drink good beer." - peter astrid kane
"Always sunny, and always lively, the Temescal Brewing patio is a haven for dogs, kids, people who love beer, and food trucks. Try one of Temescal’s constantly changing beers, and pair it with one of the rotating food trucks that supply snacks." - Eater Staff
"Check out Sam Gilbert’s 35-seat taproom and beer garden with constantly changing beers and a lively, sunny patio out back. Inside, the colorful decor and airy space matches the brewery’s “lighter and softer” style of craft beer that is more approachable for the masses, yet still complex enough for enthusiasts. Well-behaved dogs and children are welcome, and rotating food options will keep the night going as you go through the beer list." - Eater Staff
"Temescal Brewery in San Francisco is asking guests to keep up with masking. 'Normalcy is in the air, and today’s end to Bay Area mask mandates is a big step down that path. Given all our busy SF Beer Week events and still relatively high case counts, we are gonna wait a bit longer to change our mask policies,' they wrote on Instagram." - Jaya Saxena
