    Hop Revolt Imperial Stout
    Jeremy G.

    If you sneeze you'll miss it. Small brewery, tucked away in looks to be industrial parts. Staff was friendly, she assured me in looking for the giants game but no luck. It was okay tho, they were down by 7 and atop of the third ole toy of ball left. Who am I Joking! Anyways off track. The stout was delicious. Sweet with a little kick. A must stop. Happy hour mon-thur 3-5pm

    A cool option tucked away in a light industrial area. The beers are all very tasty without exception. During the day it's a great place to take on a couple pints and play a few games of cribbage. The staff is always friendly and there is always an excellent selection of IPA beers for sipping. They do tend to be overly focused on the IPA style but I get it that this is the very popular style that so many seek out. I wish they would add more variety in terms of the lighter hopped beers with malt forward flavors. Derby girl is a favorite but it makes an appearance all too infrequently. Parking is absolutely plentiful and the AC is not spared on warmer days. Happy to see they are making strides to open more locations in the Sacramento area and it's also great to see their beers on the shelf at the local grocery store and even at the local Costco from time to time. I'm a big fan and I'm excited to get out more now that this stupid covid stuff is getting well under control. Cheers! Go get yourself some soon.

    Device is simply a great local brewery. Despite their ever-growing popularity, this location still manages to feel like a little tucked away gem. Come for the beer, stay for the company, buy more beer for home and repeat. You can grab a table with friends, bring your own food and it is dog friendly. I don't have a dog but I would frequent this spot if I did. But the real draw, of course, is the beer. This is locally brewed craft beer at its finest. I am a big fan of the Pincushion Pilsner and the Ofrenda Mexican Lager. They have a lot of great IPA's as well. Not much of a fan of stouts but they even have some better than average versions of those here. Whatever the occasion, keep this place in mind if you're a beer lover. They have a couple other locations as well!

    Good beer, I really enjoyed the Pils and one of the IPA's. The place looks beat up, but most breweries, especially, smaller ones look industrial. Staff was friendly and helpful. You have to get in line to order your beer at the cash register and that line can go a bit slow, however, maybe it's good to have a break between beers. I was fortunate to have a friend tell me about this brewery. Definitely worth checking out.

    DO NOT GIVE THIS BREWERY ANY RATING LESS THAN A 5 STAR! My wife and I are having a great time Brew-Hopping from microbrewery to microbrewery here in the Sacramento/Rancho Cordova area. Unfortunately we had a too short afternoon, but , we will be back. A great reason to get out of the bay area, get some country air and enjoy the best of life--Hops! DEVICE is less than a 1/4 mi. from NEW GLORY! What a treat! Device focuses on IPA s, DIPA s and brew up a Pilsner and a Blonde for the lighter side of life. I HIGHLY recommend/advise you drop by here, grab some delicious brew and some food truck tacos and protein-laced quesadillas, my friend, salud!

    I come here once in a while because it is near where I live. Hidden in what seems to be warehouses, there is plenty of parking and it seems like there is nothing nearby (in walking distance) of restaurants, other breweries, or any business that is open. This place is intimate, but there are plenty of chairs for everyone. Though the setup is likely that you'll have no personal space or you'll have to be aware of who's walking near you, because they'll always be in close proximity. Which is fine because I have never seen or experience a @sshole customer just yet. Everyone seems friendly and doesn't get totally wasted. So, the cliental is more of a chill crowd, people from the nearby neighborhood with their dogs cruising on by. Yes, you'll have to order and get your beers at the register. I think they set this up because there are usually one staff working at the time, so they will always be at the register. Waters are self-serve. There NOW appears to be a hotdog stand that comes on Wednesday nights, as well as trivia nights on Wednesday. They also will start serving pizza very soon, so I'm not too sure if the rule on "bring your own food" will change. Yes! You can bring your own food! I guess it matters which employee you talk to, but they were in the works of advancing their system to nitro..... but again, it matters who you talk to lol. As for beers, I also get the Russian Imperial Stout. It's very good, but the real reason I always get that one, is because most of the beers are pale ales. It seems like the beers to brew in Sacramento are IPA's which unfortunately is not my drink. I'm not sure how frequently they change up their choices of beers, but I hope they add or keep the darker beers as an option.

    I really wanted to like Device Brewery but here are a couple things I didn't like. When I walked in I sit at the bar only to be told by the lady bartender that I have to go to the register to be served. Okay?! I guess. The next thing is if you are going to list your brews on the board at least do one of two things. Make sure your list is legible to read or put up lighting by the menu so that it can be read easily. It really sucks trying to read what you have and can barley read it! Just sayin'! Also, we were not greeted when we walked in a good ol' fashion "Hello" goes a long way especially when I'm spending money in your establishment. The Bartenders weren't very personable I was lucky to even get a "Thank You" and even that sounded forced. Now to the beers. I ordered a flight which I picked, Integral, Derby Girl, Ale as Night and Basilica. If I had to pick one I would say Integral was my favorite. The beer didn't really have that wow factor. The atmosphere is pretty quite nothing too crazy which is a plus. I wish they had a good truck or something all they sell or Potato chips :/ As many Breweries Sacramento offers this won't be on the top of my list. I think the service is what really put a sour taste in my mouth.

    First time visiting the Device Brewery after drinking their beers for so long. This location has a wide variety so I just asked for the worker's favorite hazy and he gave me Curious IPA and it was pretty good! The inside isn't too big so it can get crowded at peak time. They have a lot of games to play with friends as well.

    Great little place tucked away in Sacramento. Kids and dog friendly! Dogs must be on leashes and kids prob should too (jk jk). They have a lot of great IPAs, and a couple good stouts. My favorite IPA was the "Scary Easy" and the "Made in Sac". The barrel aged brits in Moscow is great, def barrel aged and has amazing flavor! Def recommend stopping by for some beers!

    Double Growler fisted! Fight night!

    Final last updated review on Device. Let me start by saying I was very disappointed in the beginning and became a huge fan in the end. The brew is excellent depending on your taste of course. The IPA is on point, no doubt! Nice casual crowd there ready to drink with you...Not sure what to order? Start with a Kid Casual Blonde Ale 4.7%, then lean into a Anguish Double IPA 8.5%. If you want to put some hair on your chest fellas or for the females get your niples hard, drink the Basilica 3xIPA 10.5 ABV. Basilica will bring the sexy out of you after your 1st sip. Ha, love It! Don't believe me? Try it!... Yours truly...J to the P. JP ****Ok, 2nd round. The place was busy and this time we got friendly service, the dude was super cool. There was a food truck outside which was nice. Pale as Night -Black IPA is still my favorite. Please tell the customers who are waiting in line with their dogs that look like miniature pony's to put their dogs to the side so your other guest can order brew to. Com'mon people, it's just rude. Cheers!

    We got 10 of the 12 tastings (we skipped the stout and porter)

    We really enjoyed our first visit to Device! Came on a Sunday around 430pm and the place was empty! 1-2 other couples came while We were there, but still pretty empty for a sunday. We got a taster of everything and really Liked about 6 of them! Even bought a bottle to go. (Intergal IPA) we brought in some sandwiches to eat, they didnt have a food truck That day. No outdoor seating but inside was nice bec it was empty! We'll Definitely Go again!

    Kid Casual
    Kerensa U.

    After coming from a successful dentist appointment with no cavities, I decided to celebrate by finally crossing Device off my bookmarks two weeks ago. The move was a good one, as it happened to be trivia night, and I cooled off from the hot day with a sample of Inconceivable then a full pint of Kid Casual. Both were great but I especially liked Kid Casual, and the staff was friendly and helpful as I tried to figure out which of their beers I might like best. I sat at the bar and although I was horrible at the first round of trivia (trying to name movie aliens after looking at pictures on a card that was handed to us), tipsy trivia agreed with me. I'd feel comfortable making this a weekly trip, as trivia is played at 6 p.m. every Wednesday night. There was a food truck outside (they also welcome outside food and are dog-friendly) and there is plenty of seating at tables or at the bar for beer fans, and TVs on the wall, which is how I found out Panda rejoined the Giants (sigh) lol. I'll be back to try more limited release beers and maybe do better in trivia next time. ; )

Gift cards awarded to the group with the highest points at the end of each round. I've been a couple times, and I feel I can contribute to my team more than Trivia Night, which I suck at. Even though some of the music is eclectic or just hard to recognize, it's a lot of fun. Good idea to come with friends of all different backgrounds and musical tastes. Since At Ease does not have a kitchen, they have a food truck (not sure when but definitely on Friday nights) come out on the patio. They do offer free pretzels and sell small bags of chips, along with some merch. Staff is always friendly and welcoming. Dogs are welcome inside and on the patio. They offer 4oz flights ($15) of any 4 beers of your choosing. They have a good variety from light to dark, sours to ciders, and a few IPAs. I always find something I like. You can always ask for a sample to, if you don't want to commit. The staff are always accommodating and make suggestions if you need help.

Parking: Free street parking (2-hour limit) Kids and dogs friendly!!! They also brew their own beers locally!!! The owner is an Army veteran with 27 years of service, which is reflected in the identity and pride of the space. The brewery also won a 2025 California State Fair Gold Award in the commercial craft brew competition. The unisex restroom is even called the "Latrine," staying true to the military theme in a fun and intentional way. What to Order: * Presidio: West Coast IPA (6.7%) * Fog of War: Hazy IPA (6.7%) * Colonel Concord: Seltzer (5.2%) They also offer 4-pack and 6-pack mix-and-match to-go options, which is a great bonus if you want variety. Seating & Atmosphere: There is both indoor and outdoor seating, with misting outdoors during the summer for comfort. It's a community-focused brewery that hosts scheduled events, such as Thursday trivia nights. There is also food trucks on occasional events!! MURAL: One standout feature is the mural, officially titled "At Ease Brewing Co. Mural." It was created by Glen Warren, creative director at Sacramento-based Commuter Industries. The artwork blends a mid-century modern and space theme, featuring stylized rockets and celestial elements. It complements the brewery's vintage military vibe while still feeling playful and inviting. What I really appreciate is that the business gave the artist full creative freedom rather than forcing a strict military theme. That generosity shows in the final result: it feels authentic and visually striking. As the artist shared, the goal was to create something bold, simple, and joyful: an "Instagram hotspot" that brings a moment of optimism, especially reflecting post-2020 sentiment. Overall, it's a well-thought-out space with great beer, strong identity, and a welcoming community feel.

It wasn't the best or worst. When you walk up, if you can drink alcohol, you need to show your id and get a wristband. Seating is open but there are cards on the table for reservations. So look closely at it for the time slot so you know if the table is available. Eating is outside. So if you have allergies or weather isn't to your liking, this is NOT the place for you. They have a lot of shade space. However, the infrastructure that brings shade makes the place loud (think echo chamber). To order, there's a QR code on the table. I liked how this was easy. The only odd thing was that when you order, you're ordering from different kitchens, which I didn't know when I placed the order. So when we ordered burgers and pizza. They came out at different times. We ended up getting some BBQ because only the burgers came. When I followed up with someone they said our wait for the pizza could be anywhere from 30-60 mins (). That seemed long for a personal (small) pizza. By the time the pizza came out, we were done with everything else. Pizza was good though, BBQ too. The burgers were okay. It's pretty chaotic here. I would've picked another area to eat but wanted to check it out. I didn't even take photos because we were so hungry by the time the food came. I think this place is more for vibes than food. It's a good place for a group wanting drinks and eats or families needing space for kids to run around. It was just too crowded and loud for my liking.
