This brewery offers a friendly and inviting local atmosphere. We happen to stop in on trivia night and it was a blast! You’ll be greeted by the friendly staff as you walk in and they are all very knowledgeable of the beers on tap. Device beers are clean crisp and well-balanced. I’d like to give a big thumbs up to their brewmasters. This I have found to be consistent from month to month and season to season. Really masters of their art. For this reason their one of my personal favorite Nor Cal breweries. Check them out, your experience won’t be disappointing.

★★★★☆
This is a great hangout spot in the up and coming Ice Blocks area. The beer is reasonably priced, and there are a few snacks for sell to go with that beer.
There are about 12 moderately priced beers on tap and a few seem to change each month. The selection features different styles of IPAs among other brews. The flavors are generally light to medium and hoppy. Most drafts are deceptively light and smooth despite having 6-9% ABC.
The outside seating is nice with the newly renovated ice blocks architecture. There is dog-friendly outdoor seating with gas heaters in the winter. They have cornhole for when it's not too busy. Occasionally they have popup food vendors outside.
Inside feels big with the high ceilings, but a little crowded to allow for the necessary seating. Bar seats have many power plugs with built in USB ports. I have come here to study with some brew a few times and enjoy the atmosphere.
Pros:
- Reasonable beer prices
- Smooth beers
- Rotating beer selection
- Can can their draft beer to take home
- Modern and new layout
- Friendly staff
- Easy to order a beer (no fighting to get the bartender's attention)
- Dog friendly
- Study friendly seating, power, and wifi
- Clean bathrooms
Cons:
- Selection is very IPA focused. Most IPAs have the same light to medium body.
- Not a lot of outdoor seating - fills up fast & is meant for large groups
- Parking is limited
- Light flavors with high alcohol content are not ideal for study sessions
- No warm snacks / food
