Love love this place. Great atmosphere killer, craft beers lots of sours. I'm partial to the owners so my review may be leaning to the highly positive. Come check this place out it won't disappoint. read more

I came to this place because I wanted to try something new and let me just say I approve! This little brewery only had beverages and apparel and just the right amount of people. The games they provided were full of fun and laughter. And the beer served was amazing and unique. The staff was friendly and sparked a conversation with us while checking out. Although they did not have the type of long sleeve I was looking for. They did have multiple option for apparel and even free stickers. I would suggest going through the garage doors instead of the front doors. Also beware of weird but bearable smell and the face that you can smell cigarette smoke from whomever chooses to smoking outside. I am definitely coming back soon!!! read more

I have been wanting to check this place out for a while but always seemed to miss their hours during the week. Finally found ourselves in town when they were open and checked it out. This place is awesome!! The vibe is really mellow and friendly, the beers were really delicious, and the food made by Milan's Kitchen was so good! The Gose and the IPAs that I tried were really tasty and for anyone who is not into those they had a Honey Blonde that was light and delicious. Overall I was stoked on this place all around. Go check them out and see for yourself. Especially when Milan's Kitchen is there slingin real deal pizzas. Keep up the good work fellas! You'll definitely see us again. read more

Dionysus Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Recently on a quick day trip out to the Bakersfield area it was decided to check out a local brewery. After taking the time to look up all the choices in the area, reviewing yelp photos and reviews I decided this one had the best varieties of beers. I'm not into IPA's or just Ale's so the other breweries seemed more limited as far as selection goes. SO GLAD we stopped by! Everything I tried which included two flights along with full pints was delish! They do not have food onsite BUT they will have a food vendor. You can also bring in your own food. If you message them on their FB page they will quickly respondand fill you in on the 411. The guys serving up are super cool! Thanks!! I will stop by when in the area again! read more

Dionysus Brewing - Beer Selection on 8/14/15 They list the IBU which is soooo helpful when making your beer decision!! - Breweries Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Last night I had the opportunity to try this place out. It's definitely hidden and if it weren't for the taco truck parked outside I would have never seen it. As a new business I expected it to be packed full of Bakersfield's beer lovers and I was definitely right. It's small, the large barrels they use as tables definitely take up majority of their room so I think that could be different, or a bigger facility. It felt like a walk in closet. The beer was amazing though! You can try any kind of beer for $2.50 which is a complete steal! They don't serve food so the taco truck outside is a great idea. The staff was super nice and answered all questions about what beer they preferred. They use an iPad for credit cards which I thought was neat and it had options on how much to tip. I'll be back! Maybe during the week where it's less crowded. YAY FOR NEW SMALL BUSINESSES! read more

Dionysus is a nice, small hidden gem. Staff is very friendly and professional. Place is awesome, a little small and they don't serve any food. However seems like there is normally a catering truck there. Different catering trucks serving different food, when I stopped by there was a guy baking pizza in one of those Dutch looking stone ovens. I will definitely be back soon. IPA beer was delicious. Only complaint is that I drive up and down the street looking for this place and couldn't find it because it does NOT have any sign out in the road, so just look for a crowd of cars. read more

Dionysus Brewing - IPA was delicious (happy customer) - Breweries Near Me - Bakersfield, California

You really can taste quality. Never had a bad beer here. Great service and awesome atmosphere. This is my favorite brewer in Bakersfield and one of top 3 favorites, next to Modern Times and Ballast Point. Don't have a kitchen, but they do have food trucks most of the time and they are completely ok with bringing food in. There are usually several dogs there, too. Can't say enough - one of my favorite places. read more

Dionysus Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Bakersfield, California

I've been a believer in these guys since LONG before Day 0 (and Day 1 for that matter!) The beer selection definitely goes across the beer spectrum from a dank IPA to a Cream Ale (think cream soda but in beer form), to a coffee porter and imperial stout. Then there's also the main event... The sours! I was lucky enough to try pilot batches of some of the original sours that Kyle made (strawberry, raspberry, golden sour with peaches, cinnamon, and vanilla to name a few). And now they have been able to beautifully translate those on their much bigger brew system. The Super Funkadelic (gose) is certainly one of their flagship brews and always hits the spot with a balance of sourness and saltiness with a hint of citrus note that makes you salivate and want more to quench your thirst! The other fruited sours that have made appearances include the Strawberry Berlinersfield (strawberry Berliner Weisse) and Currantly Noir (golden sour with black currants). Both beers have been wonderfully done with gorgeous pink and dark purple hues, intense fruit, and of course that delicious sour taste that keeps bringing me back for more and more. I'm here at least a couple to a few times a week and have always seen one of the owners/brewers there either working or socializing with the crowd and that is awesome to see as a loyal patron. If you see Kyle P, Kyle I, or Kenney, they're always more than willing to shoot the breeze about the current and upcoming beers. Their passion is what makes me continue to support my favorite local brewery. During the week there is no food truck but the brewery is definitely a "bring your own food" friendly place. Fridays there is a taco truck and Saturdays a brick oven pizza stand. I can't rate and recommend them highly enough. There's beer for everyone's palate. Who knows... Even if you don't like or don't know sour beers, this could be the place to help change your mind about them. read more

Dionysus Brewing - Currantly Noir - Breweries Near Me - Bakersfield, California

First time here and was digging the place. Tried a couple beers and was happy with the quality. They were out of a couple of beers I wanted to try so guess I'll be coming back. Wish there was a food truck around to have some eats with though. Cheers read more

Dionysus Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Awesome beers, especially their sour beers! "Peach on Through" is a must try. Also the "Rose Sauvage" is really good too. Unfortunately I did not try their porter, so I don't know how it is. If this is your first time trying their beer, they offer 5 oz small pours, so you can try everything on the menu! You can bring your own food here while enjoying their beer, since there isn't food available most of the time. But then again, this is a tasting room/brewery, not a restaurant or bar. Friendly staffs is definitely a plus too. Good job well done in deed. read more

Excellent beers. They have some of the best sours on the market. Try their beer slushees in the summer!

Great beer found in an industrial complex that is well worth seeking out. I'm a big IPA fan so I sampled all they had available on the day I stopped in. The beer tender was very knowledgeable and knew his wet from dry hops. A fun day with tasty brews. Why else would you stop by. Get in here. read more

Dionysus Brewing - Beer duh! - Breweries Near Me - Bakersfield, California

So they are just a bar normally but on thursdays and Saturday nights they have a guy come who makes stone baked pizzas. He makes killer pesto pizza and killer wings as well. As a bar they are daily nice. It is cold inside so will need a jacket at winter as they are in a warehouse with no heat. Their seats are comfortable but high chairs so if your short you may have troubles. As for the beers they are a sour specialist. Their strawberry one is the best in my opinion. And they also make normal beers of course if you don't like sours a good one is the cream haze which is a cream ale. read more

I love this little spot and they have so many choices that are actually good!! They make good beer!! Sours are on point and I love the seasonal flavors that pop up. It's a repeat stop for the brewery hopping days with friends. read more

I can here on a tuesday afternoon, staff is friendly. They'll let you know on upcoming beers. They have really good sours, and their Dank IPA is unique. Finally a brewery in bakersfield that knows how to make beer. Dont expect food, this is not a place to sit down and eat. However, they welcome outside food. These guys just started and they are heading in the right direction. A chill spot most deff. read more

Best brewery in town. Kyle behind the bar is one of the smartest beertenders you will ever meet. If you tell him the style of beer you prefer, he will immediately find something that suits your palate. He is very cute too. Almost every beer there is a hit. Dank street is the best beer I've ever quenched my taste buds with. Great vibes. Family-friendly environment. What more could you want? read more

Amazing beer!!!!!!! And the pizza guy has bomb food!!!!! A must stop on a Friday after work or weekend. Staff are always laid back and helpful read more

OH HELL YEAH!!!!!!! Let me start this review by saying that I am more than a little bit of a beer snob. I am lucky enough to live in Sacramento, which just so happens to have a really killer beer scene with some of the best breweries in the country (ie Moonraker, Knee Deep). I am also very, very particular with the types of beer I crave. Dionysus hit me perfectly with every type. I am the girl that wants a huge hop flavor, without too many IBUs or too high of an ABV. Enter the New England style IPA. Dionysus provided perfectly. Their NE was a beautiful and perfectly hazy juice bomb. Made my heart smile. After finishing my pint of their NE IPA, I went for their DIPA (Double Dank if I remember right, we were already quite buzzed). It too was delicilous. A well balanced, not too bitter ( I am over the palate wrecker bitterness of some IPAS) hop to the face. Being we had a Moonraker growler and cans back at my brothers house full of NE IPAs, so I landed on the Double Dank as a take home in my new little Dionysus growler. They only had 32oz growlers available. Wish they would have had some 64's. Guess next time I visit Bako, I will bring my hydro flask along with me. Bottom line: I hate to say this because there is another brewery in Bako that I love and has been around a very long time, but Dionysus is my new favorite Bako brewery. I will stop in every time I visit the fam bam in Bako. Do yourself a favor and stop in. Cheers! read more

Don't leave here without having Milkshake Dreams. Food truck out in the front was worth it too.

Wow. This place was very solid! I was impressed from the first beer to the last. I enjoy flights and really was pleased. For a newer brewery, they taste experienced! I went with a client and he was also blown away! Environment was typical - warehouse clean. The pricing was fair! I even bought a shirt! read more

Great little spot to hang out. I only like sour beers and they did not disappoint!! Bought a bottle to bring back home to Arizona. We will be back again! read more

The beer is excellent. The service is fast. This is one of my favorite breweries in the country. To give you some perspective. I started off my beer career with milk stouts. Left hand milk stouts are my favorite beer. And I ate warheads as a kid. The beer here satisfies all of my cravings and more. They're currently following the national trend towards New England style IPAs. Very juicy ( not juice bomb esque like Great Notion in Portland). Sour beers are complex and barrel aged in the stalls next door. Their stock beers are decent. Service is friendly and fast, although you can expect a line most of the time. In the summer they run large industrial fans, which cool down the place. If your visiting, you're always likely to see or meet one of the owners, who seem to be pouring or drinking beer at all hours of the day. This seems like a good group of friends who found their calling - brewing excellent, well regarded beer. As far as I can tell, they don't do 64 oz growler fills. They're too small of an operation. But they do fill 32 oz cans for a semi reasonable price. Only downside to the most recent visit was the smell. We arrived just as they opened and it smelled like cleaning solution (ammonia?). read more

My husband and I went here last night and we both loved it! The beer selections are so good! I really like the fact that they have variety, so there is beer for every craving. They don't serve food but you can bring your own, we ordered from Uber eats! The atmosphere is very chill and the music was awesome! Will definitely be back! read more

Great brewery! Slushes are the best, amazing that we can pick up and have at home. It's a nice little hangout

Plenty of parking, and a very casual vibe. It's easy to drive by and miss the turn in though. You have to look for the sign. They have an awesome range of beers, especially if you're into sours. If you're lucky, they'll also occasionally set out a bowl of gardetto's. It's a great place to meet up with friends, watch tv, play uno, kill time, etc. Bakersfield beer company located next door is pretty neat too. They'll have various food trucks on site most days as well. Pretty cool place in general, considering we're in Bakersfield and it's located behind a school district office, and across the street from a dmv. read more

Dionysus Brewing - Cream haze :) best - Breweries Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Great beer and environment! The both times I've come here I've really enjoyed it. Hopefully they open a second location on the NW someday!

Dionysus is hands down the best thing to happen to the local beer scene in awhile. This place isn't flashy, doesn't serve food (though they do bring in food trucks), and doesn't have a big space. What they do have; however, is a pretty exceptional line up of beers. We visited for the first time a couple weeks after their opening date. Having previously tried a select few of the Dionysus line up during a feature event at a nearby business and being impressed, we were excited to try more of their offerings. The beers offered cover a broad style of beer, with the emphasis on sours. During our visit, we tried the Strawberry Berlinersfield (strawberry sour), Cream Haze (cream ale), Stout, Funkadelic (a sour IPA), and a Saison. We liked them all, and found that each beer was memorable without putting too much emphasis on a novelty factor (think super hopped IPAs, over the top flavored beers, etc). The line up may be intense for drinkers who are more accustomed to mainstream beer styles, but the demonstrated skill by the Dionysus team in their brewing knowledge means their beers are a great way to expose and broaden the horizons of those less familiar with some of these beer styles. Dionysus is a little guy - the shop is located in a business park. Topped barrels provide the table surfaces, with very little seating, while barrels of beer line the room. Everything about this place makes the beer the focus. If you're hungry, they often have food vendors just outside for separate food purchases. One our visit we were able to pick up some tasty barbacoa fries to go with our beers. The staff at this location was very friendly and eager to talk about their beers. When you visit, there's a good chance the person pouring is one of the Dionysus founders/brewers, so ask questions! Don't miss an opportunity to try this new brewery as Bakersfield's craft scene continues to grow. read more

This is a no frills, small batch brewery in an industrial complex in the SW area. The setup reminds me of Heretic, a local brewery in my hometown. This place is all about the beer and stepping out of a bland comfort zone that other breweries have fallen into. I didn't get a full pint of anything on my first visit; I wanted to sample everything. They don't offer a sample flight, but they offer 5 oz pours if you want to design your own flight. Here's an excerpt of my tasting notes: Insert Area Code Here - taking a jab at Temblor, eh? This is a very smooth beer and one of the safer beers on their menu. I'd order this again if I was feeling dull. Currentsfield - Very spicy, floral, rich, and SOUR. And it's a pretty color. I was craving something salty after this to balance the flavor. Peaches N Cream - Smooth and sweet. Not much character to it, but it went down smoothly. Saisonic - did I pronounce it right? Probably not. The coloring was pretty dark for a saison, but the taste was light and airy. This one was also spicy and cleared my nostrils. I really like what the owners did with this place. Instead of making random beers for the masses or touting a flagship beer, they're experimenting with everything. They don't have that one beer that they're known for, but they definitely lean heavy into their sours. I can see them developing their brand around that. They don't serve food, but they have various food trucks. Service was prompt and efficient. Bathrooms were clean. it's located on the end of Schirra Ct, past the school district offices. read more

My husband is home and was delighted with the welcome home gift I brought him of the Dionysus Porter For President 2016. He insisted we stop by to sample the new coffee porter that came out today and we liked it even better. We took the opportunity to sample several other brews and even a cider while we were there. They had a very hoppy IPA we both liked as well as a cream ale that I particularly liked. I confess I did not care for their sours or the cider although many people do. They are showing a lot of promise and I am sure that over time they will become even better. This is a very laid back place that encourages conversation. Don't expect the sophistication or food of Lengthwise and the others, at least not yet. Give them time. read more

This place has the best sour craft beers in town. Its fairly small and its inside a garage but its a great place to hang out. If you plan on going, try going on Thursday through Sunday because they have oven cooked pizzas. My favorites from here are GoseMary jane and reflexion #2. Don't be afraid to ask the brewmaster or employees about the beers. Enjoy. read more

Great little brewery. Beers are always top notch. They specialize in sours. I'm not a sour fan but everyone I know that does like sours rave about them. There IPA's are always great. Never had a beer with off flavors here. The atmosphere is great very relaxing place to enjoy a beer. The owner and Brewer seems to truly love making craft beer. Owners and staff are all very nice. Kid and dog friendly. They often have a food truck out front to get a bite to eat. Definitely a place everyone should try. read more

Stumbled upon this place on my way back from a camping trip and so glad I did. For one, the beers are hands down incredible and these guys have only been open for a few months. They have a good IPA (and double IPA) and their imperial stout is nothing short of delicious, but it's their sour selection that sets them apart. Kyle and Tyler are super rad dudes and make you feel really welcome, so definitely stop in and try (all of) their beer. read more
