Mark SturnJanuary 25, 2016Really good beers served in a cool space. The Strong Ale was hands down my favorite, & a style not seen very often. Some unique brews too, not just run-of-the-mill IPA's and such.
Monty SkilletNovember 16, 2015Neat beer garden. Not the best brews in town but may be the best place to chill out and enjoy the nice atmosphere! Good Charcuterie plate.
Ricardo JerezDecember 27, 2016I ate a weird preparation but it was super delicious! Beers are really good too. I had to buy an Uncle Dave's Rye bottle!
- One of the best breweries in Santa Cuze. Nice space, outside seating and good food
- Matthias P.July 23, 2022Great selection of beers and the cider is delicious. Also like the food and haven’t been disappointed. Great outdoor seating.
Jared BriscoeDecember 30, 2019Get there early so you can grab a nice spot outside! Great beers, and fun friendly people.- David PragerMay 22, 2021Fried mushrooms are great. So is their fairly low ABV (5.6%) juicy hazy ipa 🍺
Scott McReynoldsJuly 7, 2017Great Brew and Food! Not the largest venue and menu but very high quality.
Discretion BrewingNovember 30, 2015It's Love Monday! 20% of beer sales today will benefit Hospice of Santa Cruz County.
Dru BramlettNovember 27, 2014Excellent food. The table situation can be kind of tough during dinner time, but it's worth it.
Cristina B.September 14, 2014The place is nice to hang out with friends and they have food which is a bonus compared to other nearby beer places. However, I find their beer to be just okay- lacking flavor for me.
Rocky FMay 24, 2013Order at the cash register. Try the beer flight if you are a first timer. Parking spots a bit tight.
The food is amazing! Can't Beat Uncle Dave's Rye IPA!
Alicia HansenMay 17, 2014They're getting a new chef soon - but not today so bring your own food until they do!

"WORTH THE DETOUR! Don't miss this place, their beers are great. No food unless a truck is parked outdoors, so go prepared."

"Really good selection of bottles and beers on tap. Beer garden looks like a really chill place to grab a pint with friends, too bad it was raining the day I stopped by."
