Not their actual brewery but just a taproom in the Prescott Market food hall. Their brewery is probably less than 4 miles from here, so their beers aren't traveling very far. I discovered Almanac's brews around the pandemic times, trying them in cans when we were all dining outdoors for over a year. I think Almanac's brews are good, but I just don't love them. There's no strong pull for me, but everyone is different, so just a personal preference in taste. But this spot is pretty cool. For being in this communal food hall, this is the only tenant that has a space with it's own walls. All other tenants are in plain view in the main space. If you sit in Almanac's space, then you will be separated from the rest of the food hall. But you can take their beer anywhere in the designated food hall. And/or you can take food from the other stalls inside here. Very nice flexibility. No servers, order at the counter. Not sure if you can start a tab, but most places do by leaving a card/number. I only had one beer to go with a burger from another stand, but we ate in Almanac's seating area, which are all communal heavy wooden bench seating. Cool spot that I would revisit for sure. read more

Good contribution to the variety of other restaurants and food at the market. Beer goes well with any food, hahaha. Tried a sampler of 4 beers and actually liked the IPA. Refreshing and we liked being able to try 4 varieties. read more

Almanac - Flight of 4 beers - Breweries Near Me - Oakland, California

Love the space. Its in Prescott Market and its very pleasant inside. Perfect ambiance and decor and most importantly very friendly and attentive staff. Super clean and beautiful space. I know you want to poo poo on me for this - 'oh it doesn't really matter' or 'oh your so shallow' - well, I guess for you you can enjoy your beer in some blighted alley nearby. The market was a bit warm and smelly from all the cooking - but the air quality and temperature in here was perfect. I really appreciated that. Tons of beer choices. Bartender was helpful in making a decision. Its funny but a bartender also plays a bit of a role as a sales guy - and sales people help indecisive people make a decision. There is so much to choose from - it really can become a problem sometimes. Endless food options nearby - if you haven't seen the market yet... what are you waiting for? read more

Almanac Beer opened recently in Prescott Market Hall. They have a separate room at the back of the hall for their guests to have privacy while getting buzzed. Hip Hop music. A barrista greeted me quickly upon my entrance, informed me of the choices. It Looked confusing till I saw Pliny the Elder! Offerings (beer, drinks, snacks): light/dark, fruity/tart, hoppy, guest beers, wines, slushes. Alcohol free. Gluten free, bites., Gulps: Pliny the Elder (10) 16oz. 8%alc. DIPA -brewed by Russian River Brewery, Santa Rosa. Rated by many sources as #1 beer in America. -smooth, hoppy but not harsh. Goes great with heavy food. Superior hops and brewing techniques evident in smooth taste. 1 pint of Pliny = many buds... -beer named after the Roman author of "Naturalis Historian", a 37 volume encyclopedia. Author died while observing a volcano eruption. 4.5 stars worthy-not easy to find Pliny in markets. Not all pubs have it. Quantity: good to the last drop. Quality: Russian & Almanac uses the best hops.... *small private parking lot in back read more

Almanac - Pliny the Elder (10) 16 oz. Looking at outside seating . - Breweries Near Me - Oakland, California

Almanac Beer is located in Prescott Market and seems to be one of the few places in the market that serve alcohol besides Pizzeria Violetta. My wife and I stopped by Almanac Beer after grabbing pizza slices at Pizzeria Violetta. The beer menu here is huge! I feel like this is a bit blasphemous, but I actually gravitated towards the guest beers that were on the menu over Almanac's own beer. On the day that we stopped by, the guest beers included Pliny the Elder -- a double IPA by Russian River Brewing Company, and "Coffee & Cigarettes" -- a smoked coffee porter by Cellarmaker. I ultimately chose a pour of the Pliny and it was as good as any Pliny I've had elsewhere. Staff is friendly, prices are reasonable, and there's plenty of seating both inside and outside on the patio. Really nothing to complain about! I didn't see food on the menu, so you'll have to venture elsewhere in the Prescott Market to find food to go with your beer. read more

Almanac has quite a bit of beer to select from and we got a delicious and eclectic flight of beer. Service is speedy and friendly.

Live music Friday's, plenty of space indoor and outside, great food choices in the area, and excellent beer selection inside Prescott Market! This was our last stop of the night, but we will definitely need to head back. I love Almanac's beers, and wifey's hazy didn't disappoint. Even though they were pretty packed, there was still ample seating which was a plus. read more

Stopped by Prescott Market and this is one of the venues. They have tvs, close to the outdoor area, and bar area. Everybody was nice and friendly. The empanadas were good! Small con for this cider drinker, none on tap. But they did have cans so it all worked out! read more

Came here a couple of times over the past couple of months. Great spot. They had snacks like soft pretzel and hard kombucha and wine for non beer drinkers. Space inside is smaller maybe 6 big tables and barstools. Plenty of space outside during nice weather. Love the access to Prescott market. I'll be here regularly! Service is friendly. read more

I came to Prescott Market not knowing what it was until I was there on a nice Friday evening. Almanac, West Oakland Clubhouse, was one of the 4-6 stores that are under the Prescott Market. The ambiance inside and outside of Prescott Market/Almanac was extremely pleasant. There was live music, kids, dogs, and all good vibes. My friends and I each got our own beer. We got a west coast IPA (delicious), a sour (Peach Bellini), and a slushy (perfect for the weather as it warms up). The staff was kind and patient with me as my very undeceive self wanted to try a DIPA and the sour I eventually got. They also offered recommendations based off of my response to the beers, which was really nice! Overall I am 100% coming back for a refreshing beer the live music! I would want to get a flight next time because I have always liked Almanac and I'm glad I discovered this nice new location. :) read more

Can't go wrong with great beer and a large outdoor space! I love how much seating there is with umbrellas to give you some shade if wanted. It is in Prescott Market so there are 5-6 restaurants you can order food from to enjoy with your brew. Staff were super friendly and helped me to decide which beers to try! They were constantly walking through the space to clear empty glasses as well. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Nice and balanced variety of beers and beverages on the menu, even smoothies and slushies. We just grabbed a lemon lime soda (alameda soda company) and a boozy strawberry slushie, which was a little too strong with the rhubarb flavor, I wasn't a fan of this, but good enough drinks to go along with the bites from other vendors at the Prescott Market Hall. Nothing too special though, maybe stick with the beer. The place was clean and brand new, surrounded by exposed brick walls and several TVs above, great for watching sports. Service was friendly, no complaints. read more

Almanac itself is great. The lady working Thursday afternoon, who refused to tell me her name, and who according to her "just got her RBS certification," was unnecessarily confrontational about my ID and refused service. When I came back with it, as a 40yo, and told her to have a good day and asked her name, she refused to give it and said I hope people at your job (I check ID's as one of my jobs) "are unkind" to me. Very childish and unprofessional read more

Great location at the Prescott Market. Very nice selection of craft beer. Very updated and upscale location. This place has tvs and is a Ballers watch location. Great friendly service location here in West Oakland. This location is clean and easy to move around inside. A nice bar with a variety on tap. Can't wait to comeback and join a Ballers watch party with games on the road. read more

Love this new spot in west Oakland. Great beers. I had a couple different kinds of wheat beers. Refreshing, smooth, not too much esthers. Hit the spot on a nice day. Would love to come back and try more. Back patio was really nice. Plenty of tables. Bustling that day with a children's museum exhibit there. Lots of families. Dogs. Bike parking on the patio. Lots of bathrooms. I might become a regular... read more
