    Came here on a whim. Super satisfied that i did. I had a great time learning the "ways" of a Brew Master and the superior amount of ways you can brew beer with pretty much any edible source. Definitely will be back to possibly brew my own stouts and whits !

    The process...

    Wanna brew your own beer?! Don't know how? This is the place to go! Judd, proprietor, will hold your hands and walk you through each step of the process while peppering you with interesting bits of knowledge about beer. Reservations are a MUST! We were lucky enough to be there on a weekday afternoon and were the only other "brewers" there. His facility has all of the ingredients and necessary brew gear to brew your own. Spend about 4 hours in your first session and then return to bottle after your beer has fermented. We haven't bottled our beer yet, but have already made a second appointment next week for our second batch of brew. Still considering buying our own equipment for home brewing- but after this experience we might just stick with Citizen Brewers for our future needs! Thanks to Judd for imparting his vast knowledge so enthusiastically!

    Trying out our very own custom beer!

    Citizen Brewers is a great way to commemorate a special occasion! I surprised my partner with a trip here for our three year anniversary. Neither of us had ever brewed before, but Judd was very helpful without ever making us feel like we weren't running our process. We came back 5 weeks later for the finished beer to bottle our product, and it turned out great! We'll definitely come back for another run!

    Amazing experience, highly recommend. You don't need to know anything about brewing (although if you do, you could do a less hands-on brew if you wanted). The owner Judd is an awesome, generous guy that knows his stuff and will make sure you have a good time / come away with some great beer.

    The beginning all the grains

    Amazing place gives you more appreciation for beer... Amazing knowledge here and tasting beer at the different stages....

    Thanks Judd - Awesome experience!

    What an amazing experience! If you have any interest in beer please call Judd up and schedule your own beer making adventure. You will not regret it. His personality is amazing, his space is amazing, his equipment is amazing, and the beer you make will be amazing. Just remember that if you make beer because of my recommendation, you owe me a beer.

    Me and my friends had a great time brewing our own beer. I can't wait to do it again. I can't recommend this enough.

    The owner, Judd, and a gentleman who was in the process of brewing his own beer greeted me with a huge smile.

    I had to leave a review right away bc I was so impressed by this place. First of all, they are…read moreextremely dog friendly. The inside is gorgeous and there's a spot especially for dogs outside. Their outdoor seating with patio is beautiful! This place is absolutely divine! At this point, I dont really care about how the food tastes. Lol! Let's start off with the one problem i had with this place. The parking!!! It took me 20m to find parking and im not about to park my car on the street. I have precious dogs! Lol kidding. I just couldn't find any parking on the street or in the block! I suppose i came during lunch which is probably really busy. When I left, there were quite a few opened parking spots. This place is connected to an apartment complex surrounding retail stores. The leasing building is right next to Gravity Heights. I used to rent a 4k+ a month apartment in a retail area and let me tell you, its a hassle to find parking and not take a retail parking spot without having your complex email you everyday about your car potentially being towed lol! I understand this pain. Now that we are past that, let's get to why this place deserves 5 stars. The service is excellent! My server came around at the perfect times and they seem to really care if I enjoyed my meal! The stellar atmosphere with attentive service is enough for me! I got a gravity burger protein style which I dont think did the burger justice. I was going to eat with my husband later at a Vietnamese restaurant and I can only choose one carb for the day. My diabetic life is tough! Lol. I chose the Cesar salad to go with my burger. My burger was delicious bc of the caramelized onions. I didn't really taste a sauce in the burger but the excellent bacon with the much needed caramelized onions made the burger fantastic! The IPA hazy beer i had with my meal was also light and mellow. I thoroughly enjoyed my time and meal. My babies also enjoyed their burger! The weather was perfect today and it was a nice time and to think I was not going to eat here bc the parking definitely was a huge deterrent. Next time ill bring human company!

    Decided to stop by here to try out their happy hour and was not disappointed. Parking was fairly…read moreeasy and got a spot right outside the restaurant. We got sat right away in the happy hour area. As we were walking in I noticed the decor looked really nice and the ambience of the restaurant felt clean and modern. We ordered some happy hour cocktails to start and they were really strong (but tasty) in my opinion. Maybe I'm just lightweight though. We also ordered some oysters, the shrimp aguachile, and the smashburger to share which were all tasty. Service was good, our waitress was friendly and checked up on us. Overall a successful happy hour visit and would visit again as they seem to have a rotating menu.
