I arrived at 8:45 and got inside with the first wave at 10:30. The owners even came to say hello to eveyone waiting in line, so I met Natalie and her husband. I really liked that the release was super organized. Inside is a typical bar and everyone is getting their glass of the younger. I ordered the hummus platter and wings. Both tasted delicious. (Trust me, I've been to places where the hummus platter didn't look appetizing but that's another story). I got 8 wings half sweet chili and half buffalo. It came with blue cheese and veggie sticks. Delish! Portions of the food was good. Staff were helpful and friendly. I bought my T shirt from the gift shop and got a few free coasters too. The experience of getting the younger and meeting new people in line really gave me a sense of Santa Rosa hospitality!

We ordered two salads, one large pizza and their pizza bites. The spinach salad was very good with…read morestrawberries, goat cheese, and some nuts. The green salad had a good variety of vegetables also. We got the jalapeño cheese pizza bites, which was good and the large pizza I don't recall what the name of it was, but it was also fairly good The service was a little bit slow. They were quite busy, but it took us over an hour and a half to get our table. While we were waiting my friend and I had to flag down the staff so that we could get a beer while we waited. The room was quite noisy, but the table was comfortable

Her daughter picked the place as a place she thought her mom would like. I ordered the Quesabirria Tacos with Consome that was ABSOLUTELY amazing. The meat was tender and juicy. Excellent flavor and the tortillas were perfectly crisp. Not so hard the roof of your mouth needs Band-aids but so your ears hear a crunch that is sensory pleasing. The staff and especially the Bartender were super rad! Side note is that my gram is 90 yrs old with failing health. She hasn't been able to go out of the house in weeks, but she made it to this and enjoyed all of it. So I thank you for that! And my 49yr old cousin just got out of the hospital after surviving a stroke 2 weeks ago. The Kaiser Santa Rosa ER tried to send him home! So be your own advocate! We had a lot on our hearts. We thank you for allowing us a place to let down our shoulders and exhale, even if just for a short while.

They have a…read moresemi-regularly rotating menu, so each visit feels fresh - but they keep the best of the best! Among "the best" is their reaper hot sauce. Sooo delicious, and seriously spicy. Buyer beware :). But, as much as I crave true heat, the real stand out at Fogbelt are their fries. They have THE BEST fries that I have ever had anywhere. They are battered, super crispy, creamy inside... seasoned to perfection... seriously amazing! The crew is always happy to see you, but not overbearing. Water is self serve, which is fine. They have some outdoor seating, which is usually a welcome option in Sonoma County. The parking lot views are nothing special, but a burger and brew in the sun is a special feeling regardless. Fogbelt...Mmmmmmmm

There is a fun patio space with lots of tables and shade out front and plenty of bar seating with space for bar games inside. I ordered some happy hour bites and the Mexican lager. The tab was only $15 during happy hour. I should note they were out of quite a few things and this place didn't have the refinement of many other breweries in the area. We grabbed a table outside. I sipped on the beer, which was pretty good. It took awhile for our food to come. When our tater tots and pretzel arrived they looked good, but after first tastes, it was clear that they were just frozen and reheated items. The pretzel was overly tough and chewy. The nacho cheese certainly came from a can. The tater tots were fine, but probably from a frozen bag and thrown in the fryer. As a brewery, I'd give this place 4 stars. As a brewery and restaurant, it's just a 3.

My nephew and I came into Flagships today to grab a drink and some pub grub. We were greeted by the…read moretwo people working and felt very welcome to be there. The place was empty beside us but it was nice and quiet. They have a really nice selection of beers on tap and a good variety of food choices. They have tv's playing sports and it feels like a place where you could hang out for hours. On this visit, I tried the "Dream of Jupiter" red ale. It wasn't my favorite. A little too hoppy for my taste, but still a good drink to have with food. For food, we ordered the BBQ Nachos with Tri-tip , and some wings. The wings were pretty good with a sweet chili ginger sauce. We also tried their dry-rubbed wings, which were just okay. The nachos had good flavor, but some of the chips got kind of burnt in the broiler. The tri-tip was also a little underwhelming as it was just a bunch of small pieces that didn't have a lot of flavor. Overall, I still liked the flavor of the nachos, but I would get a side of sour cream or something else to go with it. I still really like this place and hope to come back again.

The bracelet limits each person to a max 3 pours of the Younger, and 3 bottle purchase. Got seated about 10:40 , but the wait flew by helped by the almost festival atmosphere amongst those in line(bonded and chatted with 3 guys next to us who had flown up from LA area just for this) 1st, every employee I encountered was friendly and service was top notch. Started with a taster of Russian River 110 and Tempo Change, both were nice, light, but not the reason I came 2+ hours on drive + another 2 in line. The Pliney Younger was as advertised, tasting and drinking lighter than its Triple IPA packing power . Orders some Riccotta donut holes to help ease the consumption of the 3 IPA's and they were fantastic, dense dobut, not overly sweet so the chocolate dipping sauce was a nice touch. Ordered 3 bottles of Younger to go, and am already planning next years trip.

My friend, whom I homebrewed with for years, already knew about Iron Ox Brewing Company. He thought I'd like it. He was right. Filling the middle slot of a building in a typical for craft breweries industrial area, the taproom immediately inside the front door is fairly roomy. All concrete, iron, & weathered wood, there's something of a southwest or even old west feel to the place. Service was welcoming & conversational. We got right to it with some taster flights. Most of the about a dozen beers on tap were IPA's or lagers. Which was fine since those often my go-to styles. After tasting a good number of those here, I noticed something interesting. IPA's have evolved substantially over the years. From once being mostly malty & bitter to now being mainly light & aromatic. Iron Ox has blended the old with the new in a unique way I liked a lot. For a beer nerd like me, that mix of old school & contemporary I'd never tasted anywhere else was worth the visit.

This time we delved into a different beer that we haven't had from them before and we really enjoyed it just like the first time. This time the beer was an IPA by the name of Pallet Forager. We aren't always blown away by IPA'S but the ones we have had lately have been great which includes this one. Flavor highlights in this beer are hoppiness, fruitiness, juicyness, some sweetness and a bit of mango flavor. This IPA proved to be very refreshing and enjoyable. So glad that we returned for another beer experience with Moonlight Brewing!

It's a very large venue which was nice as there was plenty of open seating. Our bartender was ok, nothing special. We asked for a bowl of water and he said there were two on the patio and pointed to one that had dog hair in it. We passed. We ordered a beer and four samplers to drink. We also ordered pizza but were told that the pizza place (Acre Pizza) couldn't do a half and half pizza and no modifications could be made. You can only add items on. So we ordered two pizzas and waited the 20-25 minutes. The pizza was ok, but nothing spectacular for the cost of 33 dollars per pizza, mine was a little burnt as well. The pizza came with two flimsy plates a few napkins and exactly 1 packet of red peppers and 1 packed of grated cheese. Just a heads up the Acre Pizza is a few doors down and when comparing menus there is a $5.00 per pizza mark up.

Maybe this place is better on weekends or during events, but the night we went it just felt empty and disappointing.
