After a couple disappointing meals in San Simeon and Morro Bay, Kulturhaus was a savior in the meal department! If it wasn't for this establishment, the meal part of my trip would've been a bust! I love their spicy sausage with grilled onions and their homemade mustard on top of sauerkraut!! House made also!! And I fell in love with their cream ale ! I had to get some to go! This is definitely a spot I want to return to! I'm done with morro bay, Pismo is my spot now! Much better food! read more

Big fan of the protein plate paired with the "BTH" IPA. If you're into pickled food I also recommend the pickle plate which has a variety of pickled veggetables. The owners are very knowledgable and passionate about their respective crafts in fermented foods and beverages. read more

Just went to pick up some german potato salad. Also tasted an amber ale so I had to get a 32z growler to go. Potatoe salad was awesome and beer was very good. Think the owner served and was very knowledgeable about beer and friendly. May go back to get more. Ambience was rustic. read more

Another amazing venture to Kulturhaus Brewing. Met a bunch of friends for some great beer and food. Matt the "pourer" was awesome!! He let us taste what we wanted and was super informative. You can sit inside and watch the World Cup or outside and enjoy the weather. Highly recommend this place if you're in town and make sure you say Hi to Matt and compliment his beard. read more

Small but cozy spot with charming décor and outdoor seating lit by string lights. The "BTH" IPA stood out with excellent bitterness and bold flavor. I stopped in for a quick drink while waiting for a table at the restaurant next door, and it was the perfect place to pass the time. read more

This little brewery is a gem in Pismo Beach. We ended up going here looking to quench our thirst. and have a little small snack upon entering, we were greeted by the brewmaster himself. Once we entered, we took our seats at the bar and ordered one of their delicious beers. We started chatting with the brewmaster, whose knowledge is very fast upon not only the beer he brews himself but beer in general. He really takes consideration into his craft and made it a passion. We ordered food consisting of a bratwurst and pickled vegetables this was beyond palatable. One of the best little appetizers I've had. I would recommend this place to anyone because they are friendly fairly priced and if you were looking for good conversation. This is the place to go. read more

Kulturhaus Brewing - Very good beer. - Brewpubs Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

Not only is their beer amazing, but their customer service is above and beyond! Every time our family travels with our picky toddler, this place goes way out of their way to find something she will eat. This has included a shredded cheese plate in the shape of a smiley face, a whole bowl of bacon, and a side of pickle. If you want great customer service, delicious food, and amazing local beer, this is the place for you! Matt in particular has been exceptional! read more

Second visit and better than the first! The pretzel and beer cheese is a combination not to be missed. The warm German potato salad.. wow! Bacon grilled cheese? Come on. Great little spot away from the crowds. We will be repeat customers! read more

We're alway on the hunt for nice cool breweries. This place is one not to be missed. And it was a surprise running into people we know. It's not big but does pack a punch with its size. They also have food on the menu. It's a small spot along one of the Main Street in downtown Pismo. A couple tables outside as well as inside which also has a little bar seating. The selection of beer on tap was nice. As well as one of their ciders. The gentleman working, he maybe the owner was a sweetheart. Very friendly and charming. Seems like everyone that was there all knew him. It's like a nice local hotspot. The vibe was pretty chill and mellow. A nice place for lounging and just enjoying a nice cold beer. Another one for the books for visit. It was wonderful and will for sure be back whenever we're in town again. It's also pet friendly. He even brought over a little treat for the pup. read more

Love this place. How it hasn't blown up and popped up on a Netflix food special (or other) yet is just a matter of time! Casual laid back atmosphere, the staff, food and beer are always fantastic! We had an absolutely incredible meal with the most delicious Italian sausage with sauerkraut mustard on a lightly toasted soft bun. The bright sauerkraut on the perfectly cooked sausage that has that slight snap when you bite into it with the delicious tangy mustard on the side was incredible! The German style 'nachos' with the bratwurst and beer cheese and German potato salad were delish! Tried their house Ginger ale -made like an old school soda fountain- refreshing! Also, pup friendly front patio for well behaved pups is a super plus when traveling with the fur-baby. If you're looking for great food and beer- don't miss this spot! read more

Here on Sunday Oct 5, end of summer. Luckily I got here just before the kitchen closed and I as able to order dinner. I got the protein plate with bratwurst and it was absolutely fabulous!! All of it was SO good - I hate beets, but these I did NOT hate! Matt, the bartender was really friendly, made me feel like an old friend- which was really nice since I was traveling solo. The beer was SO good! I will be back and I will recommend this place to everyone!!! Come here - don't miss it, it is a wonderful place!!! read more

We had a great experience. Matt gave us great recommendations on food and beer. We will definitely return when we return to the area .

Precision-crafted beer, expert hands behind the taps, and not a single drop of beer that tastes like disappointment. The Wecken (Awaken) 6.5% ABV is straight-up floral wizardry-honey, lavender, hibiscus, and rose combining into something that tastes like a California beach meadow in a glass. Pro tip: Don't ignore the food. Jen's a fermentation savant. Sausages and pickles so good, its like a religious experience-basically divine intervention. Jen and Eric aren't just running a top tier craft brewery, they've built an experience for casuals and beer-trekkers alike. read more

Always a must stop spot for my husband and me!! The pretzels are amazing and the beer is even better. Such a cool place, we are always met with the absolute BEST customer service. They do crowlers to go with is another big plus. read more

Came here for a couple beers after a long day of traveling and working. This place is awesome and the gentleman running it was super friendly. Made me feel like I was a local and have been going there for years. Beers: They were awesome. Loved both beers I tried. The IPAs were just what I needed after a long day. I definitely recommend this place. Check it out read more

Great spot to relax and have a pint. The beers we sampled were decent, but there was no option to do a flight. I think they'd benefit from having tasting flights since they brew their own. (We prefer to do a flight and try all, then pick a pint). Anyway, it was chill and the pretzel with beer cheese was good. They have Pliny on tap, which we were also excited about. The bartender was kind to everyone and the outside patio is nice with a succulent garden. read more

Libations: The owner Eric is well versed in all his in house brews. He's always willing to share his knowledge and vision on the beers he feels would be a unique experience for your local or out of town palette. Aside from house brews, he carries a sweet variety of local brews from the central coast which all pair very nicely with the sausages and other bites. Crowlers to Go and even some amazing options like a Switchel! ( OG Ginger Ale, Fresh Pressed ginger, lemon & limes juices, w/ spices) which can be made with our without alcohol. It's an amazing option for those looking for a refreshing option without alcohol or just something outside your usual basic seltzer. They also serve hausmade sparkling drinks and craft sodas. Food we ordered today: Bratchos: beer cheese and sausage served with peppers, onions, fermented pepper sauce, & sauerkraut on a pile of local "Taco Works" chips. Warm German potato salad: Warm potato salad made with mustard vinaigrette, onions, bacon, and chives. 10/10! read more

If you worked and trained as lead brewer (Eric) with Vinny the master brewer at Russian River you learn the processes, mix of hops, malts, yeasts in congruence to perfect a balanced craft brew. Start with and trust the process. We stopped for the hazy IPA. Bitter better balance. Good beer! Good process. Jen's dad, partying in a group, greeted us at our table - nice touch and made us feel welcome and invited us to join the group. Pre-pademic I'm there! Wanna try their fermented goodies on a sandwich next time! read more

Great beer, food, service and a lovely dog friendly patio! We had the vegan brat, the pretzel and sliders and all were fantastic! The beer is also really yummy! Very friendly staff that provided a water bowl and dog treats for our dog! read more

I loved this place and can't wait to go back for a beer! They were so kind and accommodating and had an awesome fresh fruit non-alcoholic spritzer (for the pregnant lady). Beer was awesome and the bites were delicious!!! read more

Kulturhaus is great! We have visited about a half dozen times, the house taps are excellent and they have a good selection of guest taps that we have enjoyed. We recommend the pickle plate, or the protein plate, which is a pickle plate with a sausage of your choice. The pretzel is also awesome. The owner is very knowledgeable and friendly, and the service is on point. I think this is one of the best breweries in the area, and I recommend visiting anytime you are in town if you are a fermentation enthusiast. read more

Such a great spot! Awesome selection of fresh beers on tap! Love the welcoming vibe and atmosphere. Enjoyed listening to a little Pearl Jam while partaking in a Pliny. Will definitely be back for more! They also sell shirts with cool graphics. Check it out. read more

The Belgian beers are incredible at Kulturhaus. We spent two days in Pismo Beach and ended each evening at Kulterhaus Brewing. Matt is one of the best bartenders we've met in our travels from WA, OR, CA, TX, NV, AZ and more. Thank you for the great conversations. You're good people! read more

Oops!!! I meant to share the scrumptious, fermented yummies we ordered, but I got to eating it and... A trip to (or through) Pismo isn't complete for me without visiting Kulturhaus. A craft brewery that honors European style beers is enough to capture my attention, but the healthy, fermented options are a nice bonus! Friendly staff, comfortable atmosphere, great beer, and food options I don't find elsewhere. read more

Kulturhaus Brewing - Oops!! All gone! - Brewpubs Near Me - Pismo Beach, California

3.5 stars While the beer menu at Kulturhaus Brewing is small, it definitely has thoughtfully curated beers on tap. For food, we ordered the following: -hot Italian ($13): pork, fennel, red pepper flakes in a grind - served on a sourdough or brioche bun with 2 toppings - sautéed onions + mustard -sourdough soft pretzel ($7): locally made by Grover Beach Sourdough with both mustard and bread cheese The food was okay. Our hot Italian sausage lacked flavor. I like a sausage with a good snap, so the hot Italian was not the way to go. For $13, you would think you'd be getting a meal meal, but such was not the case. The pretzel was good, not nothing to write home about. I think that Kulturhaus is great for drinks, but the food menu could use a little more oomph for a longer than stop by for drinks feel. read more

Great beer and loved the pickled vegetables. Good sandwiches too. The owner always makes time to talk about the beer and process.

Came here on Christmas Eve. Thankfully Eric (one if the owners) opened for a little bit. We just had their beers as the kitchen was closed. We only had his beers (2 IPA's, cream ale, porter and amber) and they were all deliciously smooth. We will be back to try the food as it sounds good. read more
