They have a food truck outside if you want some food. They also have Mexican food across the street as well that's worth a try. They also have a hard seltzer and a smoothie beer usually on top for those who don't drink beer. Honestly all their IPA's are great and they make delicious hazy IPA's as well. They also have happy hour Monday all day where beers are $6 each. The staff are always friendly and welcoming.

She was rude and saying the kids weren't allowed at the bar area when the place clearly says kid friendly. We felt uncomfortable and decided to close tab, and she continued to show aggression and make sure we knew she was the manager and was nothing we can do about it. Been to many breweries and this is the worst so far just due the management. Update on my review.... I just got kicked out and I'm sure it was due to the review. The manager herself asked us to leave right after the review. When we asked why all she could say was because my kids were running around having fun with no warning whatsoever that they were being disruptive, how coincidental.

Located in the back of the building where you park (free parking & big lot)! They have about one beer of every kind, so limited options but also not limited. :) They ran out of some of the canned beers I'd would've wanted to take home, but I guess that's just how good their beer is!

Came here with friends on a Saturday with a great Groupon deal - everyone gets a pint of beer plus…read morea 4 pack. Again Great deal! First time being here and was a little confused when I pulled up into the parking lot, but saw kids running around everywhere and heard music - so followed the noise. The brewery is located inside of a warehouse and we happened to show up on East Brother Beer Companies 9th birthday, which meant TONS of people, loud music, and no seating. With that said I realize that most likely this is not the usual case so giving it 4 stars. They have seating inside and out. Bathrooms pretty clean, a handful of arcade games. My issue was with the beer selection - more on the limited side. We tried a couple samples and were not wowed. The only one that stood out was the Golden IPA. Overall I would not come back due to the beer selection, BUT if you are a fan of IPAs I imagine this is the place for you.

I wanted a Reisling and usually go to spots in El Cerrito, Berkeley, Albany, Oakland and decided to…read morelook locally. I felt like a ghost, like a "Spook, who sat by the door." I was ignored from the moment I went into there until I left. They had a selection and some decent prices, but apparently, they are left over from the part of San Pablo who really isn't into the race mixing. Someone was working on a spreadsheet? or something on the computer at a desk behind the platform where the cashier was standing. I was clearly looking, but when the bare minimum, "Hello, welcome. Can I help you look for something?" the floor becomes the making of something fancy, then something was wrong. I had one more stop to go after this. I was working too hard to find a drink to pair with my meal. The couple there remind me of the racists who ignore you. They don't call you names or look at you funny. I thought it was odd, because I thought that they'd want my money. I even found a good bottle of wine for a deal, but I don't knowingly spend my money with such people, so I left. Also, the desk, which was almost in the middle of the sales floor was strewn with papers and a real mess. That should never be shown to the public. I don't know why I'm helping them, but clearly these people never went to charm school, which is where I'd send them to learn some manners.

I have been exploring their selection of Whiskey and Bourbon lately and I found one that I truly do not like. In fact, it shouldn't sit on the same shelf as Takamine! This Whiskey/Bourbon is NO WHERE NEAR the same class as Takamine. PLEASE!!!! Put this down lower with the cheap Bourbon's as it will never compare with the "TOP SHELF" bourbon you sell at your fine establishment. It has no flavor profile. It is not unique. It does not make you think you are reborn. It is not a top shelf bourbon. I am open to discussions...

The pizza was surprisingly good. The kale pizza stood out with lots of garlicky pesto on top. The Fireball was spicier than expected -- the shishito peppers actually gave off quite a bit of heat. The dough is fluffy and the cheesy crust was excellent. Really liked trying Detroit-style pizza for the first time, and it paired well with the drinks. The space itself is very nice -- people come here to work, relax, or just grab a drink and a snack. It's family-friendly and they also have games, which made it fun to hang out and play a few rounds with friends after finishing our food and drinks.

I discovered the front is also an area for Indian groceries, lunch (Punjabi Kitchen - Tues-Thur 11a-3p), middle of the store sells traditional Indian clothes/fabric, etc. I've been looking for a place like this to get legit ingredients to make authentic Indian recipes - my next food conquest was Dal Makhini and I was able to find everything I needed and then some! There is a ton of decently priced beans, spices, some fresh produce, imported Indian products- even the spicy pickled mango my partner loves! Looks like the place is family-owned and the lady working there was helpful in pointing me to the right direction for spices. Definitely coming back to get more Indian products, try Punjabi Kitchen, and taste the variety of beers at the bar!

I didn't eat them. Next time I will only drink here.

For your first time it is a bit intimidating as it feels like the middle of nowhere. This is the secret gem of the area and is right on the water. It's a great space inside and outside.

I feel like I've been going here at least once a month with friends and the experience is always really good. When we enter the music is always good. Usually it's some kind of oldie R&B or rock I think. This recent visit we tried the sliders for the 1st time and man were they good! They are better than the actual burger they have on the menu. The other one with the fig jam just tastes like it's trying too hard. I get that it's Benicia and the brewery is trying to be a little more upscaled but man I miss the burger they had with the Bacon Jam.

decent atmosphere. ok food. poor service (+ a bit expensive) …read more.. we ate there with a small group. service was slow to start, but we were an easy group: simple drinks and food. they brought the wrong drinks -- we said ok (drank them). the beer was mediocre. 1/3 of the food was waaaaay delayed -- we said ok. the check had to be hunted down -- we rolled our eyes at the automatic 20% gratuity added and the tiny cost (-15%) adjustment for the late food. overall the burger was ok. the patty looked pre-formed/frozen and the bun was cut poorly which made for awkward eating, but the flavors were good: brie and fig. the +$3 salad was a complete rip-off -- a handful of spring mix with vinaigrette (stick with the bagged chips). the total for me, my wife + kid was $100 which was too much for poor service and late food. i'd never purposefully go back.
