I have been coming here ever since it opened in the City Center in San Ramon. I love the atmosphere of this place as there is an outside area with fire pits and comfy seating as well as an inside area with shared picnic tables. It can get super busy here but I have never had a problem finding a space inside or on the outside area by the fire pits. There are board games to play with groups of friends and I think it adds to the casual vibe here. On my first visit here I did a flight to sample a variety of their beers but on my second visit I just ordered a couple of full-pours of either some easy-drinking lagers or their IPAs. I was a huge fan of this hard kombucha they had. Staff is knowledgable and friendly and have always made this a good place to chill with friends. They don't serve food, but they allow you to bring in your own! There are so many great options nearby like pizza from Delarosa, Mendacino farms, or tacos from Casa. read more

Came on a Monday. Not crowded at all, tried about 4 beers, 2 sours and their wine between our group. Their beers are all good, so did not have a favorite l. There was two sour options, we liked the red Razdairy better. The other was more of a sour lemonade flavor and this was more berry. Lastly we tried their red wine, it was a blend and had good flavor and nice to have an option for a non-beer drinker. Currently, they require you to order something from the Mexican restaurant next door from their limited menu (tacos and taquitos are mostly the 7 options on the menu, but you can order from the expanded menu next door.) Overall, great experience-friendly staff, good beverages and solid ambiance. read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Breweries Near Me - San Ramon, California

Breweries usually aren't my thing, but I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed fieldwork brewing! We sat outside, it was chilly but the heaters definitely helped! We started off with a beer flight, my brother chose all the beers and I didn't think I would like any of them, but I learned that I totally love sour ales. Their menu changes, but their blackberry parfait was AMAZING, so sour and tasted just like blackberry candy, we had to take a growler home. Their pizzas are also amazing. My boyfriend and I split a Margherita pizza, but I wish I had gotten a whole one for myself. Their flavors were great and I love how they top it off with olive oil and sea salt. I would definitely come back to fieldwork brewing for more pizzas and to try more sour ales from their rotating menu. read more

The food here is phenomenal, but that's not exactly why people go here. Now, I love pizza of any kind, and that's what ended up bringing us here when we were at the bishop ranch area already. I love the Brussels sprouts pizza and it has to be my favorite thing at the moment. The shishito peppers are also very tasty and they come with a miso sauce to dip into. When you order appetizers and pizzas, be prepared for the pizza to come out before or at the same time as the appetizer, which happens to us just about every time so typically we just skip the appetizer if we aren't super starving. As far as the beverages, there are not many non-alcoholic options so just be prepared to have water if you don't like any of the options. They have a self serve water area which is nice but they tell you that if you ask for water. Let me preface this with the fact that I don't drink beer normally since I do not like the flavor. That being said, I really enjoyed the coconut lime sour as I felt it was very similar to my favorite kombucha which made it good for me. I tried the raspberry seltzer the first time and I didn't like it. The most important thing here is that they offer a good amount of sizing for the beers. I always start with a taster which is anywhere from $2-$5 each which for me is a great price point also since i know that I won't end up drinking much of it. If you like to eat pizza and/or drink beer, this is the place for you. My partner has like almost every one of the beers he has tried so we continue to come back even if just for the pizza. Be weary though, as you cannot order pizza online, but you have to call and the most recent time their phones weren't working and I was on a time crunch trying to head to the airport. Also, their locations all serve different foods so heading to the other ones was not an option sadly. Another instance was they closed the kitchen early even though it was about an hour before the time that they were supposed to close so I had to suffer through a fast food chain to eat something. These two reasons are why I give 3.5 stars as opposed to my original 4.5 star rating. We've probably been there at least 7 times already, one of which was my actual birthday where I discovered my coconut beer. read more

Came here on a Friday evening for some drinks. This place def has a vibe with the outdoor seating. I'm not much of a beer person but my friends wanted a low key place to grab some drinks and we decided to check this place out. It was pretty busy, as expected, for a Friday. They had the game on for those interested in going here to grab a beer and watch a game. They have large outdoor fire pits, heat lamps and plenty of outdoor seating. It's pretty cool they can accomodate both large and small parties. It was pretty cold outside when we went and busy so we opted for indoor seating. I ordered: Citranilla- light, refreshing. I didn't really taste the vanilla, a bug fell in my drink so I couldn't finish it and I didn't want to bother with ordering another. My friends ordered some darker beers and they were really good. I don't know how I didn't see Morning Time when I was there I would have def ordered it. They have seltzer's (I think only 1) and wine too. We didn't order any food, maybe next time if we're famished. If you' want a place to hang with a group or smaller, would def recommend. West Elm (I drool every time I go in there) and a Mexican food place is right next door, who can pass that up! read more

What a cool place to have a brewing company at the Bishop Ranch Center! Extremely dog friendly - they allow dogs inside and outside the patio. I love the dimming lights and the woods feeling overall. Staff are amazingly nice and super helpful. I tried some of my friend's beers and the raspberry was really tasty but I ended up ordering the Porter! It was very rich and very full bodied! So tasty. read more

Great beers and a great location. Fieldwork in San Ramon is currently open during COVID. All the seating is outdoors and the wait can be long. (We waited about 40 minutes to get seated on a Thursday night). They are required to sell food (and you're required to buy food) so they provide the menu to the taco place next door. The tacos are GREAT. The beer selection is big and I didn't feel things were too expensive. Looking forward to next time we visit the City Center. read more

We came here after our VR Game. We ordered some flight drinks and pizza. The pizza ans beers were great. No complains on that. We sat outside, so I am not sure if inside is loud or not. Outside seating was great even it was a little cold. They have a heater outside if needed. Our waiter was good. Overall, service and food and ambience are A+ read more

We've been here twice now and enjoyed our experience each time ordering dinner and beer, but I have two caveats - the 'herb ranch' is awful and not like a ranch flavor, and the Hail Mary Detroit style pizza is not good. My partner straight up could not eat it because the taste was so off putting to him. I ate a couple pieces but the chicken tasted old or something..not what you'd expect. Otherwise we loved our pepperoni supreme type pizza the previous time. There is some redemption with regards to their sauce - they have a yogurt white sauce that they serve with the wings and that is quite good! Works as a decent substitute for ranch. We will certainly be back but just have to note those two aspects of the menu that we would not order again. read more

Vegan pizza with vegan sausage and meatballs, what? Blessed be the beers as well, so many fine craft beers it's hard to pick, they always have at least two options for every craving - and the flights :0 ...and bike friendly (racks inside in case it's fancy) and dogs on te patio. Wow, maybe the only thing missing is corn hole, but it's downtown, whatcha gonna do? read more

I love coming here with friends and family to enjoy some good beer! They always have different beers on tap and I like to create my own flights so that I can try all the new ones! They don't have food here but you can bring your own. This city center has plenty of restaurants and I usually take it to-go and eat it here! They are also dog-friendly and have water bowls and dog food for free! The service is always great when I come, you can order at the counter, or they come to your seat and you can order with them! Seats can be hard to find during busy nights, especially for big group. Outside has a fire pit and heat lamps incase it gets cold. I recommend coming here to give a taste! They can also can your favorite beers for you! read more

How fortunate we are to have a brewing company in San Ramon like that of Field Works, right??? If you live beer and a nice hangout, then Fieldworks is the place to go in town. To the Out of Towner, it's worth the drive if you are in contra costa, but not too many please because I don't want to get nudged out of my happy place :) Taps rotate often and they have canned growler (crowlers) to go. My recent online and pickup experience was par excellence a la shelter-in-place protocol. Easy and Safe. If you're fortunate to sit out on the patio, then call your next appointment to say you're going to be a tad late. You will not be disappointed that you did. Cheers! read more

So glad Fieldwork is back open for outdoor service! Thank you for your adherence and elevated response to the CDC, CoCoCo and state guidelines. You are the only establishment that we feel meets and exceeds those guidelines. It is obvious that you care for the safety of your staff and your patrons, and we always feel safe enjoying a beer (or two) on your patio. To those who choose to walk in the obvious exit, refuse to wear a mask, ignore directions from the hosts and servers, you are putting the Fieldwork employees at risk. Please be cognizant of how hard they have worked to reopen. Don't blow it for those who choose to follow the rules. Cheers! read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Finer Things lager. - Breweries Near Me - San Ramon, California

Fieldwork... a craft beer name that is at the top of the food chain with Russian River brewing and the infamous Pliny. Though fieldwork is a completely different brewing company, they are a name brand of solid craft beer. I dig this particular location. It's super chill. The staff is Uber friendly to boot. The inside is nice and chill worthy. The outside has numerous fire pits and makes for a stellar place partake in some beerage. The clientele here is diverse and this location doesn't seem to attract only one crowd, but many different folks. read more

My company booked the patio for a happy hour so I can't speak for the prices of this place but I did get to try their drinks and food. I'm not a huge beer person, so I started off with a sour called the Raspberry Parfait. This drink was REALLY good. It pretty much tasted like a raspberry soda with a kind of medicines taste, but in a good way! Like the medicine you didn't mind talking as a kid. I had a couple other friends try it and they all ended up ordering it, so I'd recommend it for novice beer drinkers. The beer menu has a lot of variety tho so I'm sure there's something for everyone. To speak on the food, we were given thin crust pizza that was paper thin. I personally love thin crust pizza so I was very impressed at how thin they were able to make the pizza while still having a good amount of cheese on it. I definitely will try this place again on my own dime to get a bit more fair review, but just on quality of food and drinks, I recommend! read more

Really unfortunate, but their Detroit-style pizza has decreased in size by about 1/3, but I believe is still the same price. It used to be 6 square pieces, but last time was 4. Apparently, the change was due to their dough supplier... Still great beer though, it's just not a place I would recommend anymore for their pizza, which was a big reason I liked to go here before. read more

I can't say enough good things about Fieldwork's location in San Ramon. The new city center is so great! This is the perfect spot to pick up some food (you can bring any in!) and grab a table outside and order some beers. Dog friendly patio too :) It is really easy to create your own flight with different tasters. They always have new selections and fun/interesting flavors to choose from. I love sours, and they always have a large selection of them. The customer service is awesome, even when it is crowded you can flag someone down easily. They are all so friendly and helpful, and will let you try any beer before you commit to ordering it. Easy to open a tab, and easy to close out. I have been a countless amount of times since it has opened, and can't wait to go again soon! read more

Fieldwork Brewing - PB&J and lemon meringue- both so interesting, both amazing - Breweries Near Me - San Ramon, California

Came here Friday night for drinks. First off they close early and can be packed. The hostess sat us down quick but waiting to get drinks that took a while. Then when the drinks came less than 10 minutes they were announcing last call. The tearooms could use some attendance as well. Would I come back maybe but this would not be my first choice though. read more

Located toward the back part of the City Center area. Had a 4 flight tasting. You can pick which ones you want. The beer was good. Each taste is about $2. They have a good sized patio. It faces the street area. Service was good This center feels very office business like. read more

Love their Hazy IPA!!! Great place for a relaxed pizza and beer but the focus is definitely the beer!!!

Every time I came past this place I was wondering what it was because I always saw a lot of people there. One evening my husband and I went to this place. It is a great place. We ordered two sets of beer. We really liked the Squanchy party beer. We also ordered pizza, Caesar salad. The food was delicious. It is convenient that you can make an order at a table online and pay the bill online. I recommend this place! read more

Not gonna lie, I love me some beer. And beer a plenty you can get at Fieldwork Brewing. You can get every kinda beer imaginable here, which kinda automatically makes Fieldwork a positive in my book. I'm not gonna sit here and review each and every beer I had. Everyone has different taste buds when it comes to their beer, and like I said earlier you can get basically any type of beer you want here. So try them all to your hearts desire. Their flights actually aren't too bad in terms of price, so you honestly legit could try out at least 6 beers and not be too out of pocket for it. The food here is okay. Pizza was decent tasting but definitely nothing to write home about. Went good with the beer though so I guess that's what really matters. Love the ambience tho, plenty of seating for bigger parties too. Would definitely come back here again! read more

Beautiful outdoor patio and easy parking in the lot or structure. Delicious thin crust pizza! We ordered the fun guy, hot & bothered, and kahuna. I tried a glass of their rose, which was refreshing. My family tried a few tasters of the sour beer and IPA. The tasters are a good size if you want to try more than 1-2 beers. Friendly & quick service. Came here on a Tuesday evening. Can't wait to come back for a drink and more pizza :) So happy there is a location in San Ramon! read more

The reviews saying the food is good here must have gone to some other restaurant. I ordered the salad with chicken. It came ice cold, which would be fine for a salad but is not fine for a chicken with high fat content. It made it slimy and with an odd taste, and the bacon clearly had been sitting for a long time mixed with the dressing. I tried ordering the hummus plate instead, figuring that was harder to screw up. Somehow they managed it anyway- it wasn't much hummus but came topped with easily half a cup of olive oil, which meant that most of the otherwise-tasty bread couldn't be enjoyed because it was entirely underwater in olive oil. It did not look at all like the picture of the hummus plate in another review here. This would have been a one-star review due to not serving me anything edible, but my dining companions report the beer was good. I suggest this restaurant abandon the pretext of serving food and stick to drinks alone. read more

My wife and I came in earlier this afternoon with our daughter as a first timer & we had no idea we had to sit down first and just go by a QR code on the table. We thought we'd step inside since it was about 100 outside take a look at the menu beer & food menu. A blonde lady was KIND enough to ask us if we needed help with anything and to feel free to let her know if we had any questions. About another 5-6 mins go by and we finally had an idea on what to order. RIGHT before I even decide to ask for help some OTHER lady with Dark hair had this BAD LOOK towards my wife and I but I still decided to approach her anyways since she was the only one around at the time. I politely asked oh is there where we we order? And she STOOD there with this Awkward silence and said your actually suppose to order outside and scan the code. BUT as that horrible interaction was going on my 3 year old daughter kept saying Hi to that lady AT LEAST 10 times. Being 3 feet away from each other I was at LEAST expecting SOME KIND of acknowledgement or a simple Hi at the end after that lady was explaining to my wife on how to order, but not a SINGLE word. As my wife walked away super annoyed to "look" for a table and my daughter STILL saying Hi looking her dead in the eyes and not a single word from that lady just straight up GROUCH FACE. If you want to be profiled, this is the spot to go to. read more

The beer selection is good (although servers seem to know pretty much nothing about beer in my experience.). Food selection is 'thin'... handful of pizzas and 3 salads. The non-alcoholic bev. options were 'water' or 'lime soda'. Nice outdoor spot on the edge of the plaza..good for socializing. But honestly, with so many good choices in the area, the reason you'd go is that you're at the mall and don't want to leave. It's not a destination given the service and depth of offerings. read more

29-March-2020 COVID 19 Update Fieldwork is still open but only 11-8. You can order online and they'll fill crowlers for you before you get there. If you're close enough, they'll deliver for a nominal charge. Last night I picked up 3 crowlers and I misread the note that they'd be ready after 8. I showed up at 8:15 and the place was dark. I saw one of the staff inside cleaning up and I asked if I was too late. He say nope, just showed him my ID and he gave me my crowlers. I thanked him a bunch knowing they were closed but he still took care of me. He replied "You're welcome, we're all in this together." Wow... great beer and great folks. Very well done Fieldwork! read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Covid19 update. Crowler service. - Breweries Near Me - San Ramon, California

How could I not give Fieldwork Brewing 5 stars! It's nearly the best beer in the world! Yes, I am seriously saying that this is one of the best breweries in NoCal! The beer is on point at every location I've been too!! This particular location is one of the newer places. The patio is so big and the fireplaces are amazing. It's like a big outdoor party. I've recently discovered the fieldwork recommenced flight, I didn't partake of it here, but did so in Monterey the night before. I did start with a flight, lemon meringue, tangeberry parfait, Rasta sauce and sticky pedia, sooo good!! I love this spot, so much food vibes going down with good people and good energy. I'm not too sure about the new trend of bringing your baby to a brewery. Seems to be the thing for young parents to do now. I saw lots of babies here. No judgement , just an observation. Oh! This place is dog friendly. Most of the fieldworks are dog friendly. That, I understand better than bringing a baby. I love babies, but it just seems strange to bring babies to a brewery. Anyway...next stop.. Sacramento Fieldwork and San Mateo !!! read more

Having access to the new Fieldworks in San Ramon, is truly a blessing to have in our little town. The selections are always revolving with excellent options and well trained staff who are ready to help make suggestions. Located at The Lot; San Ramon's new spacious downtown center, Fieldworks sure packs a healthy crowd each night. Inside the decor is rustic spacious, plenty of natural light, with couches and bench/tables to fulfill customer needs. I personally can appreciate the lack of TV and monitors which encourages conversations and community. Outside seating is comfortable with fire pits for those who prefer less noise, fresh air, or have a pet to attend for. Although food is not served, there are food trucks that rotate daily within walking distance and outside food is encourage without any hesitation. As The Lot continues to develope, more restaurant options will become available into summer this year. If you have yet to visit Fieldworks, put it on the list. You will not be disa read more

Man, Fieldwork has been expanding, opening up new taprooms so frequently that it's hard to keep up. One can only drink so much beer. Or make that one's wife will only allow him to drink so much beer... So far I've been to the OB (original brewery) in Berkeley, Sacramento, and Napa. Still have yet to make it to any of their southern outposts yet since I'm rarely down that way. Thankfully we were passing through San Ramon on their opening week. I had no idea that this little town was blowing up. It's located in the fancy new mall/shopping center. At this point, my beautiful wife became excited since most often breweries and taprooms are located in the middle of nowhere industrial areas. She was free to (window) shop at the neighboring high end business while I enjoyed a few pints. Thankfully she didn't get too buckwild with Mr. Amex at Crate & Barrel... It was a weekday afternoon and this place has just opened up in the not-yet-completed shopping center, so I was expecting it to be relatively empty. Boy was I wrong! This place was jam packed! Both the outside tables and inside were all full. I ended up slithering a spot at the bar. Fieldwork fans know where to find their beer and locals are becoming fans as soon as they spot this place. How's the beer taste, you ask? Excellent as always! Since the taps are constantly rotating it's no use describing any one beer. Just know that Fieldwork does both hoppy, and dark beers well. Very well! In fact, their hazy stuff is some of the best in the area, right up there with Cellarmaker. The price for the quality you get in return is very reasonable. Their growler and crowler fills are priced just about right. I always hate when beer to go is the same as if you ordered up a pint. As at their other locations, there's a separate register to order #AdventuresToGo so nobody is holding up the already busy line. The location is amazing, the beer is amazing, and the service is amazing. Only thing better? If Fieldwork would sell kegs to the public! read more

Fieldwork Brewing was a great time, great atmosphere, and great location. We were part of a private party on the patio and the was great. The salads and pizzas were delicious. My suggestion is to stay away from the staff recommended flights ( I made that mistake as I wanted to order something quick.), and stick to the flights of beer that you like like the IPA flights (Which I was much happier with) or just order off the vast beer offerings on the menu. If we are in the area we will be back. read more

Love this place!! The beers are amazing and the customer service was impeccable. The employees are friendly and very knowledgeable. They also allow you to bring tacos from next door, or food in general. Fieldwork does not have food, fyi! There's room to play games, bring your own games, etc. Told my family about it and we went back, they enjoyed it just as much. There is plenty to choose from, no matter what you like. read more

This is exactly what San Ramon needed. The flights are a great deal and the beers are decent. It's nothing compared to what you can get in the city but it's a winner around here forsure. Always loved drinking Fieldwork beers over in Berkeley, glad to see they're growing. Other comments: The bartenders are pretty friendly and attentive. The outside patio is pretty sweet - I'm glad they've got that. I'm really hoping this place is successful. read more

Best beer in town. I've been to a lot of breweries in the area and Fieldwork is the best hands down. You really can't go wrong with anything on their list. I personally love their hazy iPa. The only down side is that they don't have any snacks. They do have a food truck that is in the area but you have to catch it at the right time. ***tip***. If you want something to eat door dash food to fieldwork. They allow outside food and are cool about it. We ordered pizza and had it delivered. The place is nice. No tv's which is good because you can actually enjoy the company of other people. They have a nice outdoor area. They also are pet friendly. They have dog bowls and treats for your 4 legged friends. The do have table games that you can play. read more

Love coming to fieldwork Brewing they have the tastiest brews in town! It has become a weekend ritual for my husband and I. I can't imagine getting beer anywhere else! My husband and I are regulars to this location and we try to make a trip each Saturday as our little getaway from the kids, lol! If we don't have time we stop by and grab a crowler or two to bring home with us. No need to miss out on those amazing brews! We love that we can bring food along to enjoy and sitting by the beautiful fire pits that are outside. We are planning to get together with some friends here in the future as they have a wonderful seating area with a couch indoors! It is a great spot to sit, talk and even play some games while having a beer (or a few) with some good friends! read more

Service was fantastic, and the outdoor space and seating is great! Basically sitting at the NE corner of City Center facing outside, so its a nice and relaxing space. Lots of really nice umbrellas and shade, especially for a hot day. Limited food options, however, if you're wondering about the food. I also wasn't particularly impressed with their kale salad, although that could just be me. Meatball appetizer portions a bit on the small side. I didn't have any pizza, but I think if you come here that is probably the thing to get. Lots of different pizza options, as that takes up the majority of the menu. read more
