The beer was good but the lady outside in the hut has no knowledge of customer service. Better employee can be in this position. The place is really nice and clean. Great outside seating! This place is good the one star is because of the customer's service.

Just ok. Giant portions for the flights of beer which is cool, but the beer isn’t that good. I was kind of disappointed because I tried 5… and only really liked one of them. My husband got 6, and only liked 1 as well. Just not super impressed. Their seating options are also terrible- the chairs hurt to sit on. Dog friendly which is always nice

Great outdoor beer garden!

Nice variety of beers. They can def have a few more on rotation. Once you try the few that you like it gets a tad old after a few visits.

Pets allowed

Food/food truck would be an amazing addition. Beer + Food = longer stays!

Had a great time here. Ordered a flight of 5 tasters. Guys loved talking about their beers and what to sample next. Super friendly. Bonus: dog friendly!

A cold, rainy afternoon in Monterey couldn’t keep me away from visiting this beer garden. Despite this location being outdoors, despite the elements, and despite me being the only beer-a-holic brave enough to withstand the storm, I did not have a bad time. After ordering a Doomsday Protocol Triple IPA (10% ABV!!), I sat under the covered portion of the patio and listened to the rain. They were thoughtful enough to have the patio heaters running, which just made my experience that more cozy. The staff was awesome as always. Friendly, quick, and sincere with her conversation. Restrooms were clean. They had a limited amount of merchandise available, but quite a few canned selections ready to take home. I chose Fast Food French Toast Imperial Stout (13% ABV!!). I also enjoyed the triple IPA so much, I grabbed a growler for later. This location is absolutely kid friendly. As for pets, they have a water dish available and dog treats! Did I mention that they have QR codes at the tables for easy ordering? Fantastic little spot that gets lively in the evenings and on the weekends. And their beers are delicious. If you’ve never tried one of their parfait beers, you don’t know what you’re missing. Flights available as well.

Solid product. Very mediocre service. The chick working would rather be anywhere else than serving beer.
I dig the vibe of this place itself but tbh I’m not sure I’d go back because homegirl just made me & my wife feel so awkward. Dust Bowl Brewing is just a few blocks away with great beer, vibe & service.

This is one of my two favorite taphouses in the entire world. We first visited (every night) in 2021 during the Indy race at Laguna Seca. Once again, this was an every night stop this past week where we made sure we tried everything on tap at least once. This time (I cant recall it from last time), they had suggested flights available. We tried both the Fieldworks Flight (6 or 7 times) and the Hoppy Flight (2-3 times). My friend liked the Vox Pop best while I was partial to the Salted Watermelon Gose and the Velvet Stout. An option this time was to get some cans made up, which we then took away for beer at the track. Love the outdoor patio, where you can bring your own food and it's dog friendly which is always a plus. I recognized the servers and several of the patrons so it has some serious return business. It isn't possible to go to Monterey and not stop here, repeatedly. They need to fix the fireplace heater :). but otherwise everything was perfect.

A great spot for Belgian-style craft beer—you really can’t go wrong with the dubbel, tripel, or quadrupel! It’s conveniently located in the heart of everything, offering only outdoor seating. While no food is served, you’re welcome to bring your own. It can get quite crowded on busy nights, so plan ahead. The location backs onto a large parking lot, though be mindful of the 1-hour parking limit.
