    Beer flight (choose your own flavors)
    Emily F.

    We loved this brewery! We got a beer flight of 4, and we were allowed to pick from any of the 10+ beers, 3 wines, and 1 DELICIOUS cider! We absolutely loved the cider they had here and the two hazy beers. Our flight was only 12 dollars, and there were games to play on the inside like Cards against humanity and other games! The bartender was so sweet and thoughtful. This brewery was our favorite in solvang! Very cute indoor and outdoor area too!

    Walked inside and fell in love within five minutes! Bartender was super friendly, warm and inviting. Tangerine Cider was sooo delicious. Light with the perfect amount of sweetness / dryness. Well done yall l

    Easy to read menu.

    Was welcomed as if we were family! Solid beer style options and the quality us very decent. Sat outside on a sunny February afternoon and really enjoyed our visit. Beer flight was priced very competitively and they didnt know it, but i appreciated the grateful dead jam that was played as background music! Dont hear that often these days.

    Killer Ale Taproom for the Goleta-based brewery that's located smack-dab in the middle of the DT Solvang's main drag. The Good: *Fantastic service by the barkeep *Great people watching as tons of people will come ambling by during your visit. *Dog-leg outdoor seating with umbrellas *Cornhole boards *Kid-friendly *Great selection of beers on-tap and some even more amazing ones in the bottle, like their Wee Heavy Scotch Ale, which was fantastic. The Meh: *There is a small private lot for this cluster of businesses, but good luck finding a spot. The Ugly: *No food served, but you're free to bring in your own food to eat along with your suds. Unfortunately, there's not a lot of options in Solvang when it comes to take-out food, other than--blech--Subway®. Conclusion: Great spot to knock back a cuppa cold ones, but it would be a lot better if there was a food truck nearby.

    Hallie helped us and was great. This place had great beer and we played corn hole outside. You can even grab some fresh eggs on your way out as Hallie has some from her local farm. Truly was a great little spot we found after brunch. Come check out this spot you won't regret it and it had shade, a clean restroom, cold water and a nice breeze.

    Cool art feature on the wall inside

    Solvang has needed a brewery for locals and visitors to hang and enjoy craft beers at! Draughtsmen is the perfect addition. It's an excellent location right on the Main Street and is easily accessible. They have tables inside and outside. I opted to sit outside under the umbrellas and it was so nice. They've decorated the space really well and the service is excellent. I look forward to many more gatherings at this spot! They do offer a limited food menu from Coast Range next door if you're looking for something to eat.

    AWESOME POSSOM

    Great selection of brews in a small casual welcoming atmosphere. Indoor outdoor seating is usually filled with locals on any given day. Bring your dog and your thirst. Cheers.

    Super cool joint with an awesome location and great beers. We hung out outside on the front and had a couple taster flights. Beautiful way to enjoy a nice warm day with a view of this cute little town. Their Awesome Possum West coast was my favorite of the day.

    Cool retro bathroom decor

    Super chill brewery in Solvang. Not sure what the prices are here since they are not posted anywhere that I could see but I'm thinking my tangerine cider cost $8. They have a couple snacks too. They have indoor and outdoor seating and some board games for people to play.

    Perfect place to go get some nice brew and chill. They have cool selection of beers and tasty cider. While you hangout, you can play cornhole in the front. They also have nice seating areas. Its a clean place. I like the modern look and colors they chose. There are memorabilia you can buy. If you are ever in solvang, this is the brewery to go to

    The capri sun and what they have on Tap
    Kealan S.

    This place has really good beer! They are super friendly and welcoming. Our bartenders Austin and Don were both so amazing and helpful (we went two nights that's how much we liked it). The beer was filling and refreshing. I am not super knowledgeable about beer (not a huge fan) but that's all anyone would say who I asked. When Don found out I didn't drink beer he gave me a carpis sun! That was a highlight of my night :). The location is right centered in solvang and placed perfectly to give you a break during your wine tasting tours. Stop by and experience the local scenery with a light comfortable design on a brewery. I saw they have flights too which is awesome. They also make their own cider and some yummy wines for those who are more experienced in beer! The place is light and fun! They have boardgames for customers to play as well! 10/10 amazing experience.

I love the way it feels here, it's super casual and nicely decorated, it's a cozy vibe. Service was awesome! We couldn't decide on what we wanted so we sampled a few different ones before deciding on our choices. I love the names! Their processing of the ciders are on not on the sweet end. Resting Beach Face - Hibiscus Berry Tea - This was one of the sweeter ones and it was good. It wasn't as sweet as expected. BOT - Blood Orange Tea - this was pretty good, but the blood Orange flavor didn't really stand out. I had originally wanted to try the Apple Pie Cider because it sounds amazing but they didn't have it at the time we were there. Parking can be limited. The night we were there, they had a taco truck. Super convenient! Recommended!

From the first sip, everything tasted fresh, clean, and really well balanced. Not overly sweet at all, just super smooth and easy to enjoy. And the cider? So good.

I came in not expecting much and left a total fan. This was our unexpected hidden gem find on an otherwise hop-forward brewery tour of the area... don't miss out!

We stopped in to check out this new place to us and found out that this establishment has been open for approximately 12 years as a winery. And several years ago they got into making ciders! This place is primarily a winery with a spin off of a cidery where they feature approximately 5 ciders on tap. Plus they have ciders in bottles that you can take away. They had one apple cider and several other flavors. As I am a traditionalist when it comes to cider, I stick to the apple cider! It was good but definitely on the sweeter side! I prefer dry ciders! Ciders cost 11 dollars a glass. They have take away bottles of ciders too! Nice item to take to the beach! If you are not a cider fan or prefer wine, they have an extensive menu of wine! The winery/cidery does have a comfy location to kick back within a small space! They have nice comfy seats plus larger communal tables! They also have a venue space where they have their wine barrels! Looks like a nice space to do an event! We appreciate the great hospitality! Thanks Tyler for the intro to this establishment!

The location itself is nice - it's beautifully decorated with plenty of seating options. They had live music while we were there, which was super fun. We sat far enough away that we could still hold a conversation while listening to the music. They also offer food items, such as pizza and charcuterie, which is a plus - always nice to have food while doing a tasting. They offer flight options of five ciders. They explained that the first cider in the flight (I believe it was the sour apple) was the base for all their ciders. The problem was that I didn't like that first cider at all, so it was a lost cause for all the other ciders on the flight as well. It sounds like other people really like their cider, but for me, this one was a loss. They're also part of Four Brix Winery, so if you're not a cider fan, you can also order a glass of wine or try their wine flight. Overall, it was a nice experience between the music and time spent with friends, but I wouldn't return because I wasn't a fan of their ciders.
