    Rice lager
    Bry H.

    Mane we ordered the wrong food? Beers are fine. Calzone was okay, 4/5, the dough is pizza dough and it's a good dough, honey pepperoni filling. Chicken tenders, 3/5, it's baked. Like maybe baking it to warm it up, I don't think it's fresh out the fryer. Bacon? Mac n cheese, 2/5, where is my bacon bites?? I can count them with my fingers. Was expecting more bacon than garnish. And it's not a spectacular Mac n cheese neither. Not sure about the burgers and other items, but based on the calzone, the pizzas should be dope. They do bring the food to your table. And we sat outside with our pup. Would come back for beer for sure but the food knocked down the overall rating.

    What's awesome: This place is super dog-friendly, which is a huge plus. Dogs are welcome inside at the tables as well as on the outdoor patio, making it a great spot to hang out with your pup. The beer prices are also very reasonable. Also, the food was decent. What's not awesome: We visited at 8:30 p.m. on July 4th and the music was incredibly loud. It felt like they were going for more of a lounge or nightclub vibe, which made it way too hard to have a conversation. The service was also hit or miss. The man who took our order wasn't very friendly, although the woman with the gems on her face was fantastic--she was welcoming, efficient, and stood out in a positive way. The biggest issue was the ordering line. There was a long line at one register while a second register had little to no line. The male employees behind that register, specifically two guys chatting with each other, never made any effort to let people know they were available to take orders or help move the line along. It seemed like an easy problem to fix, but they didn't appear concerned about reducing the wait.

    Hot honey pepperoni was sooo good, this place had great beers and was dog friendly. We definitely left our mark on the photo wall. This place is a must every time you're in Mammoth.

    Veggie Sandwich, Chips & Pickle included ($14)
    Lindsey C.

    Good sandwich, cookies tasted like the Mrs Fields frozen and baked or whatever Aramark is selling these days which was fine but not anything special. Got food take away and it was relatively quick even during peak dinner around 6PM on a Saturday in summer. Before leaving I double checked my order and noticed the chip flavor was wrong; pointed it out at the counter and it was quickly remediated. Always check! Sounded like the World Cup game was on, they had beer on tap. Good for groups and watching a game/match.

    Great food and even better beer. The pizza is delicious ---even came back a second night for some more ! Everyone is super friendly and I just love the outside patio and the place is kid friendly and pet friendly. Doesn't get any better !

    Cool brewery. There is plenty of parking right out front. They have lots of seating inside and out. My favorite here was the rice lager. They also have a large food menu so there are lots of options for food.

    Hummus
    Martha W.

    What I liked: the beer I had ( IPA ), the large portions especially of the hummus. It was literally enough for about 6 people. I also liked the space outside and the people there. A lot of people had dogs and people tend to bond over their dogs. I don't get these places that don't allow dogs. Anyway I'm just glad they do here. It was also open mic night, so it added a bit of entertainment to being there. They also have pool tables to entertain you.

    Mango light beer and half margherita pizza - both ok
    Vivian H.

    Very busy brewery in Mammoth Lakes and highly rated, so I stopped in after driving half a day to reach here to fill up my tank. The place was jammed pack with people at 6pm and definitely a lot of solo men in here, some couples, quite a few doggies, families. Seems everyone gathered here after a day on the mountain. Service was fast as you order at the bar and if you order food, you get a number and they bring the food to you. I had a mango light beer and half a margherita pizza. Beer was drinkable but couldn't really taste any mango accents. Pizza was also edible, but for me, the drizzled balsamic vinaigrette was not for me, but appreciated the fresh tomato and basil. Nice place to stop in and would consider coming back again but I'm pretty certain this place will be very very congested on the weekend...

    Great beer and food!

    What great beer - one of the best here in Mammoth. We also had the hummus plate, which was probably one of the best we have ever had. It had an assortment of food to dip into it. We drove by after a hike on Saturday afternoon and it was packed. We tried on a Monday and it was much better to get a table. Mammoth hopping on the weekends. They had tables both inside and out.

    I've been to Distant Brewery on my last two trips to Mammoth , both times everything has been great. They are always busy and on our last trip in January we wound up sitting outside. There were heaters and several people so everything was fine. I've always enjoyed the food we've had there. It is delicious.

    Nice vibes. Service was decent. Beer and wine were nice. Nice experience for mammoth visit.

    Stopped in during drive from Reno to Bishop. I was hoping to get a bite to eat to accompany the beer. Kitchen closed an hour before closing so only tried the beer. Had a hazy and a wc, both were really well made. They had a local DJ running the music, vey good. A good crowd for the beer and music even though it was pretty loud. Would definitely try if staying in the Mammoth area - I like breweries so I normally stop by them whenever I can.

    West Coast IPA and their Sure, Bert Sour
    Cindy M.

    The food was decent (I got asada tacos - pictured and not pictured are the cheeseburger and chicken sandwich my husband and kid got), the drinks were better. My husband can't recall the exact name of the beer he got but it was a West Coast IPA. I got the sour and I loved it. It tasted like juice to me. The vibe was chill. They have a stage for music. The food came out quickly and those working the bar and serving our food were nice. Totally would come back again.

    5 stars despite the strip-mall ambience and parking lot seating. The beer I had was amazing (Coastal Elevation IPA). Many good dogs on site.

    Service was a bit slow but due to Covid and probably the adjustment they have to make I will give them a pass on that.

The food is decent, it's never going to absolutely wow you but it will be sufficient and well priced. This time I tried their mac and cheese, it was cheesy and I liked the type of pasta noodle they used that allowed it to get extra crispy and crunchy with the spiral texture, however it was a little dry and on the blander side for mac! The ordering system is great and straightforward, you order and pay on your phone and then food appears straight to your table! Genius, convenient and perfect for groups as there's no splitting the bill awkwardly at the end. And the dog friendliness is so clutch, our pups always enjoy the sunshine and rest.
