My partner and I stumbled across this brewing place. It caught our attention as we were walking through exploring the area. I suggested for us to go in. The bar attendee was welcoming and let us know we could taste any of the beers. My partner and I tried about 5-6 of the recommended beers and that was great! We bought a four pack and took it home. The bar attendee said we could explore the whole place and told us about the back area and that there's a lot of more upcoming events. Now, we're following them on social media to keep an eye out. Deff coming back again soon! read more

Never really been in downtown Gilroy before.. we usually see the outlets and... gilroy gardens. It's cute. It was a warm sunny day before the rain came so it was a bit crowded but it looked popping. We bought a few cans to go, and ordered some food. The cans are... different lol they have cute/different artwork. We got one that had a dad bod on it LOL We didn't realize the food wasn't on site, we had to pick it up across the street but no big deal. The fries are GOOD, extra battered for the crunch. YUM From what I could see they were family friendly, there were kids running around and playing games. read more

Awesome little brewery in Downtown Gilroy. Decided to check this local brewery based on a family recommendation and was not disappointed. We came with quite a big group but the bartender was friendly and helpful. We picked up quite a few flights and for the most part I was happy with the variety and choices. The only thing they could have probably had is a hard seltzer. Lots of setting in front and back and clean bathroom to boot. What made it nicer is they had no issues with kids and had quite a few games for the kids to play. We stayed quite awhile and they didn't have any issues with it. Worth checking out if you are in the area! read more

Promised land is always amazing! One of the best, if not the best brewery around. Their range of beers is refreshing. I brought in about 10 friends from our of town and we all had a great time. They all loved the beer and we had fun hanging out on the back patio! Brian is always great to walk to and makes great suggestions for new beers and such. LOVE PROMISED LAND!!! read more

Charming Brewery with Great Service! I picked Promised Land Brewing Company off Yelp because it looked like a cute spot to meet a friend halfway between Monterey and San Jose. Turns out, it was a perfect choice! At first, my friend accidentally went to a tap house down the street, but we quickly regrouped and decided to start here, and I'm glad we did! There's this super kind and cute bartender--around 5'6, bald with a beard, and the sweetest eyes. Though I didn't catch his name, he was incredibly friendly and made the experience even better (even though he's taken--spotted the ring!). The brewery itself is cozy, but the selection of sweeter beers and ciders was a bit limited (I'm more of a bourbon/wine gal myself). We ordered one round from Mr. Beard Guy, and he even took the time to ask how to pronounce my name, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, he was gone after 20 minutes, otherwise, I might have stuck around for a few more rounds! All in all, the customer service was stellar, the vibe was warm and welcoming, and it was an easy and enjoyable stop for an afternoon drink. If you're in the area, it's worth checking out--especially if you're lucky enough to meet the kind and cute bartender! read more

This has to be the best brewery I have been in ... and we have been to 340+! First-beer is great.. but the owner Brian was such a great guy. He made you feel so comfortable and without a doubt, the best part of this brewery! It was very hard to leave as we were having so much fun and really enjoyed not only the music but all the people that were in the brewery that day. Seldomly do I find a brewery that you feel like you're hanging out with your best friends ! So whatever you do, when you come into Gilroy, make sure you go by and see Brian and enjoy some delicious beer . read more

Promised land is the place to be! We are so excited about the new building for two BIG reasons. 1. The beer is phenomenal. My sister was absolutely in love with the the Cranseltzer after the bartender, Alex gave her the recommendation. She loved two of the beers and wished they had it canned! 2. EVERY time I visit Promise land they give wonderful customer service. Alex was friendly and gave great recommendations! Can't wait to be the first at the new location. Thanks Alex for the great service!! read more

Great local brewery! Came mid day, so it wasn't very busy. They don't have a huge menu to select from on draft, which makes sense since they make their own. We got a blonde ale and then a hazy IPA. Both were pretty good! Music was good. They have a handful of games that you can play as well. read more

Great workers and their enthusiastic energy towards customers, I was dehydrated from walking around downtown Gilroy and just entered for a cup of water, This was a while back but I remember they were very friendly and quick about it. read more

Admittedly, I was bummed that there was no beer brewed with garlic. But the beer was still good! Mostly IPAs, but they had different styles, such as DIPA, TRIPA, Hazy, etc. Luckily, flights of 4 are available! Service was really helpful, and the inside was a good space. read more

Promised Land is one of my favorite local breweries. When the pandemic first closed everything they were the only place I can remember to offer delivery of beer which made for an awesome treat on long days working from home. The husband and I occasionally drop in for a beer if it isn't too busy or order to go and enjoy at home. Some great beer and awesome friendly staff. read more

This is a great place to stop by and have a beer. The owners and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, and I always find a beer I like. Would definitely recommend! read more

Fantastic brewery in downtown Gilroy. Street parking was easy and free. They allow kids and dogs. Many card and board games are available. I love how they have like 4 air conditioning units in the front area so your nice and cool while drinking your beer given the hot Gilroy weather. There is no patio. They have a narrow back area as well with a single row of high chairs. The place is a bit small but it doesn't get terribly crowded. The only negative was that the place smelled strongly of chlorine but you get used to it Now the beer. They had around 10 beers on tap. Mostly IPAs, but there were hazy, DIPA, stouts, pale ale, etc. All of the beers were pretty solid. The beertenders are all really nice as well. How many places do you know where the beertenders ask you if you want to sample anything and then ask if you want to try anything else afterwards? Most beers were $7-8 and full pints. Will definitely be back read more

Now i can say that I have made it to the Promised Land. Promised Land Brewing Company, that is. This is a small brewery in a small town that has some how managed to rack up all kinds of 4.0+ avg ratings (out of 5 stars) on an unrelated app. I was intrigued by the prospect of visiting such a well-regarded brewery in an area which I regularly travel to, and I made the time today to stop by while they weren't closed (mind those Mondays thru Wednesdays). In case you're unfamiliar with Gilroy, parking is free even in this downtown area. Immediately adjacent street parking was unavailable on Monterey St (near the corner of 6th) when I showed up, but there is a spacious parking lot on the back side where I found a spot. Note that there is at least one bar nearby if you should wish to make your visit a beer tour of sorts Once I got inside, I found a seat at the small-yet-empty bar (everybody else was seated at various tables) and confirmed what I'd seen from photos: yes, they do serve beer flights ($12 each, for most beers). If I were a local still, I probably would take advantage of the affordable prices on full pints, but I'm a visitor and wanted an opportunity to try as many beers as I wanted to. As it turns out, I got to try all 12 beers. A couple of beers came at a premium, and the bartenders will let you know which beers (typically really high ABV) will result in a costlier flight than others. It would stretch my ability to keep reviews under the character limit while still being descriptive, so I will decline to comment on each of the beers which I tried. I will say that I enjoyed all 12, and I was surprised that their Local Lager was an early favorite. The majority of their beers on this visit were some sort of pale ale or IPA (although three were stouts), and I was surprised that none of them were of the intensely hazy variety of IPA despite hearing about their reputation for these beers. Still, their clearer IPAs are no slouch, so feel free to try anything or perhaps ask for a "splash" to sample if you're really hesitant. Promised Land is a very promising newer brewery in Gilroy, and I look forward to seeing what they will accomplish as they continue to produce craft beer for the Bay Area (and perhaps soon the nation/world). read more

A few months new drinking establishment in Gilroy. Yay!!!! I ran into this place by accident. On a Cinco de Mayo mission, to drink a Michelada. The drink was good, it didn't blow my socks off. They brew on-site. Which is nice, they give tours, but the place is small. I wouldn't suggest this place for large parties, unless you rent the place out for a night. There drink/IPA menu is small, as well as the snack menu. I would be giving snacks away, to create a customer base. I do my best to support small businesses and especially the ones in Gilroy. The owner is there, pouring the fruits of his labor, and engaging his customers. This place is cute & quaint. I will go back and try one of his IPAs read more

Heard good things about this brewery so we finally made a stop here to try it out. There's 6 beers on tap. We liked the Big Trippin, Diamond blonde, and Hand in Hand Strata. They had a good variety of beers. There's both indoor and outdoor tables. There's like 2-3 tables in the back outdoors and more tables outside in front of the brewery. It was a hot day so we sat indoors. Only one table taken indoors so we sat far away from them. There were only 3 tables taken so it wasn't busy at all. Very quiet in Gilroy compared to San Jose. They brew their own beers in the back. read more

Good little brewery in downtown Gilroy! I had a flight of 4 for $12. The American Lager was my favorite but the other three were also good. The reason of my 3 star review is because they don't have any red/amber ale. read more

I think this place has been here for about 3 years and I finally stopped by to try it out. They have a decent selection of beers and nice location. The beer is good but I feel I've had their beer at other places. Living in Gilroy, I really want to give this local business more stars because I would love to see downtown Gilroy with more good dining restaurants and locations to have a good drink and hang out. They can definitely improve on their customer service. We weren't greeted when we walked in and waited a while to be served today. A simple "we'll be right with you" would made the difference and no one ever checked on us on how we were doing. read more

It is very simple. The beer tasted bad. The store looked clean. The help was fair, but the beer is why we stopped. We handed the sampler plate back to them. They only had 4 beers on tap. They all tasted alike. Gilroy is a very small town, so they can get away with it. read more
