    Kimchi hotdog
    Yuliya Y.

    I got the probiotic lemonade and it was delicious. The hot dog was a little too sour, a little too much fermented things. Kind of punched me in the face. The beer was pretty decent. Not sure I would go again but it was a nice experience to try out.

    Amazing place! The kombucha, hard seltzer, and probiotic soda are delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also the patio is spacious and kiddo friendly.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Kind staff! 10/10 recommend. Can't wait to come back and try the food!

    Great drinks (had the hazy and white sangria), yummy Notorious D.O.G. hot dog, and friendly service!

    Such a cool chill place with such good beer, Kambucha and cider. Lauren is cool as heck.

    The best appetizer in the Greater Sacramento Area! The "Fluff" will leave you wanting more and wanting to kiss the creative genius who created this masterpiece! Then you have to try every seltzer #latenightshenanigans and [[HIGHLIGHT]]take in the wonderful ambience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Highly recommended!

    We always come here when we're visiting from out of town and wish there was a similar concept place near us. It has a great variety that makes it a great choice for a crowd. Everyone will have an option to choose even NA. Food is also good but they do allow you to bring in your own which is nice. Highly recommend checking this place out! The green zone dip is my favorite paired with whatever new seltzer or beer they have.

    This is THE spot!

    Fruity seltzers? Check. Kombuchas? Check. IPAs, Blondes, Stouts? Check. Check. Check. ADD IN food that will satisfy your hunger but also make you feel fancy! Umm, yes please! [[HIGHLIGHT]]All the drink and food options are 10/10 and the vibe is comfortable and clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Def making this my weekly spot!

    Panini sandwich with brie cheese
    Sherry G.

    Always a good go to place for seasonal rotating drinks! Love coming in and trying their kombucha and sour beers, they're always very accommodating and let you try all the drinks before deciding on one. There is even a choice to do a flight! Their Panini sandwich and chips were good! Just the right amount of food balanced with a drink. We LOVED the Chilean-style chimichurri, just be aware it has a kick! This time around, we sat at the bar and the owner Lauren was super nice and attentive! Love how transparent she is with her business and all the new ideas they plan to bring to their business in the near future. They do all kinds of events throughout the week, including trivia nights, and live music. They keep small signs showing dates of events to keep you updated if you want to enjoy extra entertainment or know when to come when it's a bit more lowkey. Outdoor seating is an added plus!

    Sweet Heat Panini, Probiotic Soda, Chips & Dip

    I don't drink alcohol but I love this place's probiotic soda and vinegar drinks. We tried the food for the first time today and it was better than we were expecting. Paninis, chip and dip, and hummus platter, along with a pitcher of probiotic soda. Kids and adults enjoyed it all! Not a fan of the tarot cards though, and would prefer it were not a part of the scene. Love that there are games (like chess) available to play.

    So fortunate to have Mindscape Fermentations as a local spot. As someone involved in the beer community, this is where I bring visitors to experience truly thoughtful fermentations. Their seltzers are done with real quality, their beer releases are solid, and they often feature great guest taps as well. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The space is welcoming, comfortable, and family-friendly, with some games, seating options, and a few food items to round it out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A place with heart, intention, and excellent drinks...always a win.

    Is this a family friendly place, or a leave the kiddos at home kind of place?

    There are always kids when we go and we always take our baby

    Are well-behaved dogs allowed inside?

    What I heard the other night, indoors no with the food service. But they have a nice shaded outdoor patio that would accommodate you.

When the waiter brought my drink, I immediately noticed it didn't look like a traditional Piña Colada, and after tasting it, I confirmed it certainly didn't taste like one either. I politely asked if I could exchange it for a different drink. The waiter returned and said the manager wouldn't allow an exchange but would offer me 50% off instead. I explained that I wasn't happy with the drink and simply wanted to order something else. The manager came over and explained that the menu includes a disclaimer stating the cocktails are made with soju instead of the traditional liquor. In my opinion, the waiter should have mentioned that when I ordered, especially since it significantly changes the flavor. I hadn't noticed the disclaimer--I simply ordered what I thought would be a classic Piña Colada. Unfortunately, I was still charged half the price for a drink I didn't enjoy and wasn't allowed to order a replacement. The manager emphasized that it was too expensive for the restaurant to remake drinks, which I found disappointing. I've never had an experience like this at any other restaurant. On a positive note, I ordered the Reuben sandwich with fries, and it was delicious. That was the highlight of the meal. However, the service was also lacking. Our waiter was slow and couldn't answer several of our questions without repeatedly leaving to ask someone else. Because of the poor customer service and how the drink situation was handled, I won't be returning.

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The service was fantastic--super friendly, easygoing, and exactly what you hope for when you're settling in to enjoy a drink and unwind. Lots of areas there are to sit. Whether you want to be inside, out on the patio, or tucked into one of the many outdoor spaces, there's plenty of room to spread out. It's the kind of place where everyone feels comfortable. Families were out enjoying time together, kids running around having fun, and it was great to see so many people bringing their dogs along. We had our dog with us, which made the visit even better--any place that welcomes four-legged friends gets extra points. We tried a beer and a mead, and both were very good--refreshing and full of flavor. We also ordered a pizza, and despite the brewery being quite busy, it came out surprisingly quickly. Even better, it was delicious: hot, flavorful, and exactly what you want alongside a good drink. What really stood out was the overall vibe. It's lively without feeling crowded, relaxed but energetic, and the kind of place where you can easily spend an afternoon or evening. Dueling Dogs Brewing is definitely worth the visit. We'll absolutely be back--including of course , our 4 legged friend

I was sitting at the high-top table right next to the register on the right. Once I finished my drink, I happened to be the next person in line anyway, since there was a person at the front register already being serviced & the person at the register closest to me had just received their drinks. The employee in the picture below asked to "help the next person in line." At that point, I'd already stood up and was waiting to get another & someone else had just walked in, but stood in the "main line." In retrospect, maybe I should've stood in that main line to begin with, but the employee clearly saw me standing there looking directly at her w/ an empty glass in my hand. Then after I spoke up & said I was indeed next in line, told me "Oh, well yeah...." & proceeds to let the gentleman who'd walked in after close his tab first. He didn't say/do anything when she asked who was next in line at first (b/c he came in after)...until she summoned him over. I informed her directly after that I'd heard cashiers calling people over from both sides & was just saving a step by going to the one that I would've ended up at anyway. As a manager in the service industry previously, I can't imagine not helping the only person that CLEARLY stated they were NEXT in line first. Lol

    This was such a cool find!…read more We came to town for a family members birthday party and wanted to stop by a brewery for lunch and check out the area. The place was way bigger than what I was expecting! The parking lot is huge, and it was packed! You order your beverage and food at the bar and they pour you your drinks and give you a pager for the food. I was impressed to see the food was coming out of a food truck for how large the venue is. I was drinking the Mexican lager, served with salt and lime. I thought it was super tasty, I liked it a lot. My husband was drinking the hazy ipa which had a pretty high percentage, I believe like a 7.5%! It was surprisingly easy to drink and fruity. Food we ordered the BLT and it was served with house made pickles and potato salad. The potato salad had cheddar cheese inside it, I like that twist. I ordered the pizza pretzel and at first thought $18.50 is pretty steep pricing for a pretzel but let me tell you, the pictures do not do the size justice. It is literally the size of a pizza! So big, covered in mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Came with plenty of dipping sauce too. I loved it, it was so fresh and delicious, and perfect to share! I had more than half leftover to take home! Check this spot out it was pretty rad, they had live music and the vibes were great! We could've hung out here all day perfectly content.

    So...we are a local family that enjoys going to local breweries. Sometimes it's just us older…read moreadults and sometimes it's with the kids and grandkids. Here's the hard truth, Hillenbrand has really good food and good beer. However, they are chasing away families left and right. Kids are not really welcome at all. The signs posted make it evident. The best seating area is marked with 21 and over on each and every table. I get it. Sometimes it's nice to have an adult only night out. However breweries in the area should decide who they want their customers to be. On a Thursday evening, it should really not be an issue for a family to have a nice night out. The highlight of our night for me was drinking beer out of a plastic cup. For the second round we asked for glassware, but were told we had to buy the glasses to have glassware. When we turned that down, we got a sales pitch for the monthly stein program. Sorry! For the monthly amount they want I'm pretty sure the winery around the corner has a better deal. We also asked if we could bring in our Hillenbrand glasses that we already have the next time to use and the girls behind the bar had no answer. The best part was when the bartender handed over the plastic beer cups and said enjoy your plastic. So the question is, next time we go out on a Thursday night to enjoy a beer and food is it going to be Hillenbrand or the 3 other breweries in the area. Also the girls behind the bar gratefully filled us in to the fact that Hillenbrand is not a brewery but in fact a bar. Too bad Ron wasn't there tonight. PS our two children were very well behaved and stayed by us the entire time we were there.
