    There be Beer here!

    Excellent Beers, awesome atmosphere. Highly recommended. We will definitely visit again soon.

    What a great find. I have only recently started enjoying craft beers and my knowledge is limited so this review won't do a very good job of speaking to the complexities and specifics of the beer. But I know what I like. The server was very helpful in working with me to select a set of samples. The tasting room was very comfortable with a variety of seating arrangements. I enjoyed the samples and was able to buy one of the pours by the can to take home (Tropticon). These small beer pubs are a labor of love and it's a treat when you find one and are able to share that love of craft beer. This one's a little hard to find, but well worth the effort.

    I really enjoyed this absolute treasure of a brewery. It is neatly tucked away in an industrial area of Truckee, and it is so well worth the effort to find. I immediately noticed the goth influence in the decor and the music that plays in the background. The beertender, Sam, was very friendly and knowledgeable of the beers on tap, as well as other great spots for beer travelers like us. I had the Skeleton Key, a delicious key lime Berliner Weisse. I enjoyed it very much. I sat outside to enjoy my beer, but the interior is very cozy, with a fireplace that is probably perfect for the cooler months of the year. They have a set up for live music, and host trivia on Wednesday evenings as well. I highly recommend The Good Wolf, and can't wait to return.

    Good Wolf Brewing is a great little local brewery with a friendly vibe. It's quite small and doesn't have food, and it's hard to find because they don't have a big sign on the door. I'm pretty sure they're happy to keep it a locals place. And the beer is great! However... if you're thinking of going for their Trivia Night (Wednesday's) you might want to skip it. It is run VERY slowly, with a bad mic, some weird questions, and not much enthusiasm. We were there for over two hours and the game still wasn't over. Other than that, I highly recommend Good Wolf!

    I stopped into this brewery for a couple hours and all my cares melted away. It oozes a laid back vibe and pours fantastic beers. I sample four beers, including a delicious bourbon milkwood stout, before ordering a marzen. The marzen was very drinkable and did not have an unpleasant aftertaste like many others. Then it turned into two marzens and I didn't want to leave. They were playing bands like The Pixies, Joy Division, and The Smiths on the radio and it was perfect for a lazy afternoon. The inside is decorated like the outside. There are vines, ferns, and moss hanging from the ceiling and walls. The bar itself has an outdoor bar feel to it. It's like something you'd see on a patio or in an outdoor beer garden. After couple beers and some relaxing music, I felt like I'd been soaking in an outdoor hot tub for a couple hours. Maybe the moon-like light fixture had something to do with it. It was super relaxing...

    This place was not our vibe at all. The fireplace was cozy but that's all the positivity I can give. The beer was just okay. Better breweries around for sure.

    Truly enjoyed the ambiance in this brewery... I truly had the feeling of just wanting to stay and hang out! It was my husbands birthday and he got a flight and loved each one.

    Love the new space, it's modern, vibrant, and cozy. The place was packed on a Sunday night, which…read moreis always a good sign. We came in with a large group of 18 and the team handled it smoothly. Food came out quickly, which was impressive for such a big party. The appetizer meatballs were delicious, and I had the veggie burger with chimichurri aioli which was also really good, it tasted like a handmade veggie patty, not one of those overly processed Impossible-style burgers One small note from our table: the veggies (asparagus + broccoli) were almost too salty to eat. Just a little tweak there and they'd be perfect. Overall a great experience and we're excited to have this spot in town!

    Food was alright, but there was so much more wrong with this place I wouldn't go back…read more Service was terrible, the waitress asked if we wanted drinks (we did-we asked for a beer menu) she came back 5 mins later without a menu and asked if we wanted drinks again....then we reiterated we wanted a beer menu and she brought it, but literally never returned for our drink order. The food came out (not from our waitress) it, tasted decent, but $16 for a kids meal is outrageous (especially when it doesn't come with a drink ) We never saw our waitress again after she dropped off the beer menu until she asked if we wanted the check, then she TOLD me the price and held the iPhone up for me to pay--like, no paper check at all to review and you aren't even gonna let me hold the iPhone to pay with privacy? Because the tip will reflect the service... They also stated on the menu that they charged $ .50 for any ' sauce' requests...which is so weird considering that none of the meals were cheap. Not sure if they followed through with this because I couldn't actually view my check. Super disappointed in the experience overall, there seems to be a lot of places in the area to eat, I'd reconsider coming to this one.

The cheese curds were delicious! Crispy outside and chewy inside, sweet and salty, and the dipping sauce was so tasty we asked for another. We enjoyed both pizzas too, with their flat dough. We were hungry so this hit the spot for us. We weren't able to finish all tho so we brought some leftovers back, which tasted fine cold for dinner! Staff were attentive and friendly. Prices seem reasonable for the unusual ingredients, quality, and portion. 4 stars.

My wife shared a few wings with me, and they were excellent. They were nice and crispy with a flavorful Asian sauce. They were definitely the star of the meal. The flatbread was okay. It was slightly burnt, which dried it out a bit, but it wasn't terrible. For drinks, I went with the Boris (Barrel-Aged Russian Imperial Oatmeal Stout), which was delicious. My son tried the Prospector (German Maibock), which also received a thumbs up. Overall, it was a very good stop. I would definitely recommend it and would gladly return.

We seated ourselves inside since there weren't any outdoor tables big enough for us. We were greeted quickly, given menus and water -- and unfortunately, that was the high point of the service. Our server was noticeably rude and a bit combative from the start. She took our order and then disappeared. The food itself was good -- our table ordered a mix of salads, sandwiches, burgers, and wings -- but it came out very slowly. Half of our group waited ten minutes or more after the first plates arrived. No one checked on us, no drink refills, no "how is everything," nothing. I eventually had to go up to the bar just to ask for the check. The frustrating part is that the location is great. The outdoor seating is beautiful, with multiple levels and even an outdoor bar. I'd absolutely come back for the atmosphere alone -- just with a smaller group, and definitely not with the same server. She gave off major "my parents own this place" energy.
