In an economy where beer consumption is declining and breweries are going under, this gem of a business shines bright and is highly worthy of a visit! Woman owned, plenty of seating, quite the selection of board games to play while hanging out. The beer selection, I have not seen one that extensive in a while, including ones brewed in-house!!! And affordable pricing as well! And they sell pizza (looked and smelled incredible, but I did purchase any when I went since I was still full from dinner). They have live music sometimes with a clever indoor/outdoor stage, which is also a perk. It was a very cozy, comfortable, and safe vibe going there, especially since I was there enjoying my drinks solo. The staff were very friendly despite the crowd and long line, happy to explain their "on tap" selections with only one offering being unavailable that evening. I had a Nitro Stout and then later a Cherry Cheesecake Pie Hard Seltzer, both brewed by them, and both were delicious. The hard seltzer did have all those flavor notes and it wasn't overly chemical sweetened, which I greatly appreciated. And I was so happy to see a darker beer option on their menu as the current trends tend to heavily favor the IPA's. Please support this awesome business, I look forward to bringing my significant other soon to play a board game or two over some brews and pizza! read more

Stopped here on a Friday evening - the beers were nice and cold and the place itself was cool. Especially since it was like 100 degrees outside. The temperature was comfortable. The beers were nice and cold and my Michelada was super tasty. The rim was yummy and not too spicy it also didn't taste sour or anything sometimes they can taste that way if Bloody Mary mix is used but this one was super yummy. They have a lot of board games as well. Seething may be a bit limited if you go on a day that it gets a little busy but for us it was okay. We got a margarita pizza with jalapeños and it was yummy I appreciate their being good so you can munch on while you drink. It had a lot of basil which I appreciated seeing as some places skimp out. All in all it was great oh and the young ladies working there was super sweet and kind and welcoming. read more

Headed up towards Murphy's for the weekend and picked this spot for dinner - it was fairly early so it wasn't yet crowded (6pm) and we were relieved as the teenagers were starving - we ordered a couple burgers, tater tots, tacos, and I believe a pulled pork sandwich? My youngest can't remember and mine were the tacos, lol. We enjoyed the flavor of all of the food - it came out hot and delicious - it just seemed to take a looooong time for it to come out - maybe the cook wasn't there yet - regardless, it was still good and the adults enjoyed a Pliney and a few Russian River specials. We don't live anywhere near here but if driving through I'd like to stop here again. Worth the wait! read more

This brewery is located in downtown Modesto, right across from Starbucks, with plenty of convenient street parking nearby. This was our second time visiting, and once again, we were impressed by their great selection of beers and tasty food options. The service was outstanding super friendly and welcoming. There's plenty of seating, both indoors and outdoors, and a fun, laid-back atmosphere. They also have a great collection of board games to enjoy while you sip, plus TV usually playing sports. Definitely a great spot to relax and hang out with friends! read more

We've only been here a couple times for drinks so I'm not sure about the food but there brew options are awesome The mango or guava drink is our go-to. The second time we went we were offered this chamoy and tajined rim. And the flavor matched perfectly with the fruity taste of the cold adult beverage. We sat outside and people watched while we sipped our cold refreshments on a hot Modesto day. read more

I decided to go to this Brewery because it was close to my hotel and it was women owned, a rarity for breweries. I really enjoyed the beers I had there, a red beer and a saison, both very tasty, They do need to to make the atmosphere a little more bar like, perhaps some music, and a bar with barstools. I really enjoyed talking to the woman who poured my beers, and would have been nice to be closer to the bar. read more

PRE-REVIEW. You had me at woman owned and woman brewed. I have been wanting to check this place out for a while and I am super excited that I finally will tonight! I am attending a silent book club here, I have been eagerly waiting for 2 weeks for today to come! Full review to follow. read more

My son and I recently attended a metal show there. The staff was very accommodating, they were kind, and extremely generous. I ordered two pizzas, they were delicious! The restrooms were very clean and well stocked, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Some guys we were hanging out with said the beer was great! We didn't stay inside, but inside families were playing board games and hanging out. 10 out of 10 recommend! read more

First time out here in a bit (downtown), bc I live in Escalon..do a lot in Oakdale!! Friends invited us out for beer and pizza at this little GEM!! Brigette and her mother have a wonderful Brewery. It's quaint however offers lots of elbow room PLUS they are working on their Beer Garden. Cant wait We had one of each of their 3 pizza offerings, trust me, that's all you need is the 3! Detroit style EXCELLENT, all three with their spicy HONEY Tipping drizzle. WOWWZER EFFECT‼ check them out you will be glad you did. Oh by the way... GREAT BEER TOO. Board games TV'S & good company . read more

Ok I feel like this place is super underrated. Seriously one of the best breweries in Modesto. It's woman owned, and the ladies who run the place are super chill and knowledgeable with their beers. I usually get the ciders (they partner with a cider place in Salida) but they top their ciders with chamoy and tajin. Lately I've been getting their hard seltzers and seriously, super good. Oh and they have a huge wall of games so bring your pals and have a game night :) read more

This place has some Immaculate vibes. I was obsessed with their sour beers! They even have an option to add a Mexican candy for $1. I also saw someone sipping a beer with chamoy, tajin and a pineapple! So yummy. Staff was super friendly and it seemed like a small family owned place. They have a whole bookshelf of board games so this place is perfect for a big group. The inside seemed a little cluttered but outside seating was perfect. The power went out while we were there and the owners were so funny about it and yet very accommodating. Coming back soon! read more

Great beers. I especially enjoyed their hazy IPA's. Parking was a bit difficult but if you don't mind a little walk it's not too bad! There are a good amount of tables inside and outside with games and jenga outside. I saw a couple people playing games inside and can imagine that later in the evening it would be a very fun place to be. Their food vendor, Sabor Mio Quesabirrias was delicious as well. read more

18Seventy Brewing - Whoops forgot to take a pic until half way through! - Breweries Near Me - Modesto, California

My family & friends have tried this spot several times over the past couple of years as we are strong believers in supporting our local breweries. Unfortunately, the quality of the beer is all over the place...and disappointing more often than not. We've tried the sampler platters on multiple visits and as much as I/we want to like this establishment, the beer is lacking. And it's not just the taste, often time the OG/mouth feel is all wrong for the style. Having said that, we'll most likely drop back in at some point in the future to see if they've changed brewmasters or recipes...supporting our local breweries no matter what! read more

This is one of our favorite breweries come winter or summer in Modesto. We stopped by today to have a drink and learned they added pizza to their menu. Not only pizza, but Detroit pizza with the most delicious crust and toppings. You can sit at a table and watch a game, fight or just hang out and they will bring your beer and I pizza to your table. The best service always... best service around!!! read more

Love the owners. Women owned and women brewed! So much creativity in the beer, seltzer and cider varieties. Love a mango cider with a Tajín chamoy rim! Also it's really beautiful- the wood/industrial look is such a vibe! read more

For those of us who enjoy well crafted beer, created from local sources, and made with a passion and joy - you have to visit and support 18Seventy Brewing Co.('Desto, Ca.)...and she is woman owned! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner and brewmaster. She is pleasant, knowledgeable, attentive, and darn right cool! I had a pint of Sonoma Pale Ale. Delicious. Sampled a couple of Hazy IPAs - both amazing! And then a pint of Lux Lager, equally delicious. The beer menu is impressive with a diverse representation for any beer appreciation. She has ciders and seltzer for those who prefer. All the beers had personality, pleasing on the pallet, quality to the taste, refreshingly alive, and damn chilly to quench the thirst. But, for we quality beer drinkers who demand excellent crated ales and stouts, this is a great spot. Good for the locals and economy, and worth the drive if you are curious. I visit monthly as a volunteer with Operation 9-2-99, Tuolumne River clean up (https://sites.google.com/a/monet.k12.ca.us/gdhs-guptill-c/tuolumne-river-project), and I look forward to my next visit. I'll have a couple and a growler to go! Come out and volunteer with Op 9299, say Hello to me and that you read my post...and I'll buy you a beer if you're old enough to drink.

Loved this place. The family owned atmosphere is so inviting. The frozen guava pineapple cider is delicious with chopped up fruit. The nitro coffee stout is the best I've ever had! I can't wait for a reason to come back to Modesto to come visit them again! read more

I love visiting with Bridget and "Mom" over a great local beer at 18Seventy. Great beer and company! Their Lux Lager and Eventually Red are my favorites. I'm surprised to see reviews saying they aren't friendly to children. They literally have a shelf full of games for kids of all ages (including me!). I see kids in there all the time. Here's my advice to the people complaining about the atmosphere: patrons are a huge part of the atmosphere of any establishment. Bring a positive attitude and leave the negative thoughts at home and you'll love this place! read more

Stopped in for the first time Saturday afternoon. Not very crowded so I just wondered why they would serve a beer in a plastic cup??? Interesting that everyone around us were enjoying their beer in proper glassware. This was 4:30pm not as if it was gonna close in 5min. Plastic...must be rookies. read more

Was welcomed with great service, the beers weren't too bad either. Would definitely come back again

Bridgette is a fantastic brewer and the beers are so creative! If you live here or passing through it's a chill place to enjoy a craft beer.

Nice place, clean, friendly, snack foods, but not much in variety of beers. I like pilsner and quad IPAs , my partner prefers milk stouts and barrel ages stouts. I would recommend it, I think beer drinkers would enjoy the place. read more

Nice little place. Small inside but with some sidewalk seating. Service not great. Not friendly seemed preoccupied. Obviously brewing small batches of beer on the premise - bags of ingredients scattered around. Pizza was pretty good but the edges and pepperoni were burned to a crisp and parts were inedible. read more

A must-stop place to go! They have a food truck, their own craft, and some locals on draft. Lots of board games, karaoke, and big screen TVs. They are also dog friendly and my dog loved it. He got all the pets. Ours favs were the Hasta la Vista and the Eventually Red. We'll definitely be back to try the infamous wheat beer. Pretty sure they are run by a daughter and mother dynamo.

18Seventy Brewing - Beer flight - Breweries Near Me - Modesto, California

Ya'll are high if you don't love this place!! They have the best damn pizza in town, hands down. They have over 30 taps of beers, seltzers. , ciders, sours. And they have a million games - added two new ones this week. We go here every week and she always has a new seltzer or some kinda new beer to try.. the negative reviews crack me up. I didn't like my flight - bro you picked it. They let you pick your choices, even when there a line and I still didn't wait that long!! Hahah! Plastic cups...just ask for a damn glass cup, they were probably busy. Blaker gives me a plastic cup when they busy I gid it. You know what this place has over all of them!!!!! Air conditioning!!!!! Real air conditioning!!!!! Hail Mary!! read more

Great service! Great beers!! Love it!! A must try if you're in downtown Modesto Becoming the hometown spot! read more

The place had a huge selection of locally brewed beers on tap! They also had a couple of ciders from Tapped Apple out of Salida. There are a ton of board games and shuffle board to play while you enjoy your adult beverage. There are sodas and Capri-suns for the kids or non-alcoholic people in the world. The staff is friendly and delightful!! Bathrooms are clean and tidy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. A true gem of a place to visit!! read more

I thought this placed had just opened since the inside doesn't look fully set up and there were trash cans everywhere. The ladies working the front where you order have no customer service and looked like they had somewhere else to be, which was probably the alley way we saw them cooking our pizza in. We all ordered at least two pizzas and each one took 30-40 min. It wasn't until later when we discovered they were literally cooking pizza outside their back door in a pizza over from costco. Two of our pizzas weren't finished in the hour and a half we were there and had to return later to pick them up. They were burnt to a crisp and literally could not eat them. Won't be returning anytime soon. read more

Hands down the best and most hype up and coming brewery in the central valley! Owners gave us a behind the scenes tour of the brewing process (done in house) and a tasting (OMG best beer in the valley hands down)!! This place is taking off like a rocket ship! read more

I disliked the flight I had, rude customer service & bad vibes. I let the manager know a homeless guy harassed me as I was walking in. Other than that, it looked good aesthetically. read more

If i can go 1.5 i would. Beer pretty good, I'm also pretty buzzed so I'm not sure now. I forgot which one is their beer and which one isn't. Regardless they have a pretty good selection. But service was ass. Walked in and couldn't see where to order. Some old lady came up and said what y'all looking to drink? We took a flight then some chick behind a table was asking us what beers we wanted. We had to talk over the people at the table/counter. The whole thing just felt unprofessional to be running a business. They really need to work on service and the way they present themselves. I give this brewery 8 more months and they'll be gone. Unless they drastically step it up and hire some professionals. It's last call now, the bartender is stumbling out. read more

GREAT beers, plenty of different styles. Loved the atmosphere and establishment. Employees and owner offered great service, made it a very welcoming experience. We will be visiting again. read more

So Worst brew company ever visited. The service /owners not friendly, never offered tasting ,bought a flight not impressed with their beer. Very cramped, tight quarters, felt like we were an annoyance vs paying customers. We had children, when we walked in got looks like oh geez they have kids with them. The vibe was so not fun and inviting. We were there to see if we wanted to have a birthday celebration, totally changed our minds, NOT. So many other local breweries that are more fun and friendly. Persuasion has changed ,but alot of fun, and even kid friendly. Never again 18seventy read more

Amazing downtown brewery. So nice to be able to talk to the owner/brewer about her products and upcoming plans. Think the beer garden will be a great addition to downtown. They also have several different ciders on tap for those of us who don't drink beer (thank you for that!). read more

Such a fun, new brewery! Lots of great beers to choose from (each one we tried was delicious) and I was shocked at all of the different cider flavors!!! Amazing! Love the vibe and decor of the place and they have a good amount of outdoor seating with heaters. We will definitely be back! read more

Great new brewery in Modesto. They have guest taps, but stick to the 18Seventy in-house brews. Their Bail Blonde, Rough Start (IPA), and Chulacabra (Black IPA) are all amazing. The Black IPA is my favorite. I think they are adding a Hazy IPA this weekend! Nothing but beer, but they always have a local food truck parked out front. read more
