(Drank 04/07/26 TU @ 4:00pm): Waddle up, stick each foot in front of the other, and duck inside to…read moresee what is brewing! My friend and I made a final brewery stop at Duck Foot Brewing before heading home. If you knew anything about me, you knew my love for beer had no boundaries and wherever I may be I was always searching for any possible breweries to sneak into and try. Would I quack with glee after I set foot in this brewery or duck out the back never to return!? QUICK BIO Founded in 2015 by Matt Delvecchio and Brett Goldstock, their beers were gluten-reduced due to Matt's celiac disease; frankly, he wanted to be able to drink beer and found a way to do it without harming himself! "Duck Foot" was a snowboarding term if you rode with your toes angled away from each other, then you could switch to your right or left foot while going down the slopes. It was a deft way of maneuvering, but also made you look kinda silly - which summed up the staff pretty well. All of this zaniness contributed to the funny beer names and quirky packaging artwork. PURCHASE(S) Duck Foot Brewing Co. Wee Bam! Scottish Ale Beer 5.1% ABV 16floz Draft (8.00 x2): Copper red color, caramel dank malty aroma, light body, caramel grainy malty flavor, smooth finish, and caramel earthy grainy malty aftertaste. My favorite of the two, I wish I had some corned beef to pair with it! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=lnSHcYoyfT7McA3QfztlLA Duck Foot Brewing Co. Friar Duck Belgian Table Beer 4.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.50): Dark amber color, belgian bready malty aroma, light body, belgian bready malty flavor, crisp finish, and bready malty aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=hXUC01hAAMYuEDSEuManOg Friar Duck T-Shirt M ($28.00): Not like I needed ANOTHER t-shirt... but dammit, I loved the graphic on the tee, and the brewery was a fun place! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=Ym8hJDRQyqS3luy5HvwbKA Stickers ($2.00 x2): I loved stickers especially when I placed them on the walls of other breweries! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=FrZP_f00bH_RFduYFJkcdg SERVICE We were warmly greeted by a friendly woman behind the bar. As we approached, she gave us a quick rundown of their beers and allowed us time to make our decision. Soon enough, we placed our orders at the bar, our drinks were ready in seconds, and we were off to grab a table. Everything was easy-peasy - cheers! PARKING (FREE): Located within an industrial work park, there were plenty of spots everywhere - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A spacious layout https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=57KdYg48K-IMOHEH0rg9IQ with the bar/order counter directly in front of you when you entered, a highly-visible tap menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=issos1QjwbLqHYCYJAl2pA on the wall behind the bar, many communal benches and tall tables inside and on the front patio, brewing tanks in the background, games https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=D78FJjUsG_FjQX_bUZvHGw in a corner, and on this particular night there was a well-attended astronomy presentation https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=xaEnKPrdF3diRb_uOqYBAg which was a first for me. Plenty of natural lighting entered through the large front windows and doors while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several TVs throughout while I couldn't recall any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=rOS9_YXUfQmMuzGaZqEnYw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL We had a chilling time at Duck Foot Brewing and would plan another visit to try more of the over 15 beers on tap as well as wine and slushies. The two beers I had were very tasty and easygoing, the prices were comparable, and the service was straightforward. Furry family members were allowed! They also had happy hour specials and nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more. Ample free parking was always a major plus. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $60.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS

There was a rocket pop flavored beer slushee that I sampled but it was too bitter so I opted for real beer instead. The Bees one and an amber option on tap that day were not what I expected. One even tasted like an IPA, but was not labeled as such. Props to Duck Foot for hosting local bands and community events - will give the beer another shot next time I attend an event here.

He was funny & friendly & made me want to tip him very well for the amazing service. He does his job very well! I will definitely be back. I didn't find Rich that night, but maybe next time, I will so I can buy him that drink I owe him.

There is a ramen station, which is actually a pretty neat idea, but I did strongly prefer the pizza vendor they had during trivia night. The trivia night was funner than I expected and nice because it was not too crowded. The nice bonus was that the top 3 winners won a prize. I hope this place draws in more people. There's not too many breweries in this area, and now one of the last few hangout spots with friends/colleagues after work nearby

Some highlights include: - Their Shogun beer (of course!): got to try out a flight of Summer in Ryoku (salted lager), Dusk in Kyoto (hojicha lager), Dawn in Ube (IPA with ube) and Winter in Hokkaido (matcha stout). I also liked their light and refreshing yuzu cherry hard tea. - Pair these beers with local rotating food vendors onsite or even a self-serve/heating ramen station - Relaxed atmosphere, with a DJ some days and events on other days - Family-friendly Also tried a flight of their Embolden beers including Beyond borders (Mexican lager), Litehouse (blonde), Ensenada Amber (lager), Blurred limes (salted lime lager). We even took a custom 4 pack to go and our friends took a couple of growlers home.

They were open on time at 10 am with the game on the tv. Staff was very nice, bartender named Rachel told me they don't have food or coffee but I can go get some and bring it in. So I did. Very locals bar. Everyone seemed to know each other and they were welcoming. Saw at least 4 puppy dogs which were very cute. Decent selection of beers. Some microbrews mostly major label stuff. The Pacifico tap was having issues but hopefully that's fixed now. They were doing a betting pool for the SB which is fun. Also looks like they are doing a chili cook off for whoever signs up.Nice little friendly dive bar.

Ambiance: Watering Hole follows the typical local bar vibe of a jukebox, pool table, and bar area. We came on a Saturday night and there was a decent amount of people. Drink-wise: Draft beer is affordable around $7. I didn't purchase mixed drinks so can'r speak on that, but they likely aren't back breaking on the price. Service: there was one bartender working the night but he was quick and efficient with everyone. In summary, the Watering Hole is a solid dive bar. Nothing crazy to offer which isn't a bad thing. Just a simple, nice local bar for people to hang out, talk, and have fun.

Good beer menu, nice mix of styles and they have a couple seltzer options too. Friendly service. There's tacos and coffee nearby and this is an easy spot to spend a few hours.

We live near this winery and it is the only place I can find my FAVORITE wine. I refuse to say…read morewhich wine it is because then it will sell out! I have turned all my friend's onto it & I am so thankful to have such nice & kind people running this winery. They have always been so generous with their pours & they have always figured out a way for me to get my hands on my favorite wine. I also visit this winery when my family participates as a vendor during their craft/vendor fairs a couple times a year. I bring my daughter with me & sometimes a friend of hers & we always have a really great time. I have been here several times, well, more than several times. Though I am not a member, I sure feel treated like I am a member. I have attended & held fundraisers here & I have been here for live music or just a quiet place to have girlfriend talk. I love that there are different things happening different days, but it isn't overwhelming like other wineries that get so incredibly busy that they lose their charm completely. I appreciate Koi Zen for the zen it brings me. I would 10/10 recommend if you are looking for a place to enjoy wine with friends and/or family. Looking forward to my next visit, even though I just walked out with 3 bottles of my favorite wine tonight! Lisa & Darius & their staff are all great & deserve all the kudos. They all work really hard. With love, The birthday girl
