Here's What Members Are Saying
The actual tasting room is pretty busy and it can be hard finding seats for a large group. It's much better than their original setup which was a couple wooden barrels set up inside the actual brewery. We love their beers so much that we both joined their Reserve Society and regularly stock up our cupboards with special brews that only Reserve Society members can get. The regular brews are good but I highly recommend Black Tuesday, Melange #3, and Chocolate Rain. They are all blended and aged in oak barrels. I recommend bringing a DD as a couple glasses of those will put you in a good place.

Love this place! Their bourbon barrel stouts are excellent. If you like a strong stout + 10% this is the place. There are a few greAt local breweries and this is one of them. If you haven't been, then give them a try. You may just want to join the reserve society

Made the pilgrimage a few weeks back from San Jose to pick up my reserve society allocations...all I can say is the Bruery taproom is the bomb. The amount of taproom only specialty drafts was staggering, whether you had a society membership or not. Prices were really fair on all pours, the space was nice and we ended up spending an entire evening there. The staff was great as well.

My bf is a Reserve Society member and so we come to let him drink all of the other fantastic beers. Great atmosphere and lots of fun. Worth checking out even if you're not in love with BBA/sours/Belgians!
