It's always a friendly experience going to epidemic ales. Almost like going to. "Cheers", but without the filming going on! The food trucks offer a nice variety of cultures and cuisines. read more

My third time trying out this brewery and I really like both the atmosphere and the staff. All three times I have specifically shown up for the Karaoke nights on Saturdays. Fun crowd and singers! Really love that it is very laidback. Usually have a food truck but they are also open with having outside food. Last time I doordashed our dinner since we have some dietary restrictions but my friends ordred from the BBQ food truck and it was decently priced and tasty. Will definitely be back for another fin night of singing. read more

My husband john and I use to be mug clubs, and i decided not to be a member anymore! the employees and clientele are different! we miss the old employees. And my husband did not renew his membership this year first time for years he has not had a membership. He stopped going there altogether because the beer has been making him sick. He would have this cough every morning ever since he has been gone there his cough has gone away, so our new hangout is a legends now they have good beer on tap... read more

This has quickly become my boyfriend and I's favorite brewery in the area. We come here minimally once a week to enjoy one of the incredible beers. My favorites are the Horchata lager and the pineapple upside down cake! They have both of these on nitro which also slightly alters the flavor of the beers, but enhances different parts of them that are so good! They also have rotating food trucks and we have tried food from 2 to 3 of them. For the most part, the food trucks are great and it's a nice addition when wanting to do a date night and stay local. We also bring board games or play games that they have at the brewery. If you pick any day to go, I would say Sunday in the late afternoon to play Singo! ! It's a fun free activity to enjoy while having beer and hanging out with friends. read more

I had been going to Epidemic Ales for 3 weeks straight for the Karaoke nights on Saturday. I recently been to the 9th Anniversary a few weeks back for their big bash. We happened to go later that particular evening, and it went right into Karaoke night. (6:30-9:30) They don't offer food at the place, but they always have a Food truck that pulls up. It is listed on their website with what Food Truck will be there. We always find a good seat and there is plenty of seating inside or outside. Crowd is diverse and it is a low key place to hang out with friends and avid beer drinkers. Staff is friendly and also accommodating and are very helpful. The place has non alcohol options if you don't have an affinity for beer. They also have snacks such as chips and ice cream bars along with Rice Krispy treats. It has parking along the warehouse district and clean bath rooms. I like the selections of Beers and Seltzers and Sours amongst the selections of libations. It had a lot of different activities to Open Mike and Trivia night via website postings. I definitely like to go low key breweries, especially support local small business owned by locals. read more

If you're looking for a fantastic local brewery, you've got to check out Epidemic Ales. They craft delicious beers right on the other side of the wall They have a different food truck on-site every day, serving up great food. , and they mix it up with weekly beer slushie flavors that are a great year round. I definitely recommend swinging by on "Taco Tuesday" for a refreshing horchata lager, my personal favorite, paired with a quesadilla from the OG Tacos food truck. It's a great combo. They also have a Mug Club that gets you 1 free beer a day and a discount on their merch. I've got 2 shirts, a dog collar, and a Bennie. read more

Our family had a fun time hanging out here on a Sunday afternoon. I ordered a 8 beer sampler and the non-drinkers had icecream. You can chose your own beers but I just asked for the staff favorites. My favorite beer from the samples were Abomination and Pale Alien. The watermelon slushy was very interesting, reminds me of a strawberry daiquiri, but with beer. I drink too slow so the watermelon and the slush separated out... oops. I like that they had a lot of games. We played cornhole and a card game called set. Bathroom was clean. Years ago, they had a kids playroom. But they said they had gotten rid of that since the Covid pandemic. I was disappointed because my kids really enjoyed that playroom, and I was able to drink my beer in peace . read more

Great beers!! Very friendly staff with a great beer atmosphere. I had my first Bahni from the food track and it was awesome.

This is a great place to grab a beer with friends or family or with your four legged friend. Beer is good too! In the winter you'll need a warm coat, it's chilly inside. Lots of tv's to watch sports. The usually have a good truck. read more

Epidemic Ales is my new favorite place to meet up with friends. We go every Saturday night for either Karaoke or Comedy Night (every 3rd Saturday), grab a beer and catch up. It's fun, the beertenders are friendly and always recommend delicious drinks, the crowd is always respectful. There's always a different food truck parked outside, and everything I've had has been delicious. Tucked away in the Industrial area of Concord, Epidemic isn't in a spot you'd expect a brewery, it's more of a friendly warehouse with tables and colored lights. But that's what I like. No dress code, casual, comfortable, just fun with friends. You can even bring your well-behaved dog with you, lots of people bring their kids, too. I always get something different when I go, but everything I've tried has been delicious. I really like the limelight lager if you want something a bit lighter in flavor, but the hazy IPAs are great, too. They also have great merch, special merch for some holidays or different days of the year, too. read more

If it weren't for Mak, who was a beer tender at Imperiale (now Hop Asylum) and Imperiale Beer Project (now closed) I probably would never come to EA. Been here a handful of times, as of this writing, I'm at the bar and it's not overly crowded on a Wednesday'. However, the first time here I just wasn't feeling it. The vibe was different than some of the other local breweries I visit. But I've given Epidemic a few chances and it's not a bad place. The beer a step above average. Currently drinking their brown ale, Guilty Pleasures, on nitro and it's wonderful! Prior to this, it was their lager, Lager At World's End. I think more now than ever it's about support local craft. So EA keep it the fuck up! Currently 19 beers on tap with cans to go. Trucks outside on a regular basis as well for those hungry drinkers. TVs, pool, pinball and cod hole, if drinking isn't enough for you. The vibe, this time around different and I'm enjoying sitting here, listening to the music and relaxing, taking in the experience. So stop by and say hello to Mak and grab a pint. Cheers! read more

Great selection and spacious indoor and outdoor seating, and merch! The Ofie's Kitchen food truck was also a delicious bonus. What's so refreshing that I wish more breweries did was provide reasonably priced flights / tasters the way Epidemic Ales does! $2/taster, and extremely useful tasting cards to give description and help you document/remember the beers you tasted. Beers are so filling so having tasters at great prices helps you figure out what beers you like best! Thought the Guilty Pleasure was amazing! read more

Hands down best little spot to grab Friday drinks and tacos. I want them to get all the business but also want to keep it a little secret so it doesn't get overcrowded. Lol. Hard balance!! Staff is always 5-stars. So friendly, chill and quick. Food (OG TACOS) on Tuesday and Friday 10-stars. I cannot describe how delicious everything is. Simple yet flavorful menu. The Ramen alone gets me drooling. I mean, droooooling. You can place a mobile order to make sure you get it before they sell out. And they sell out fast! Beers and beer slushy is also a home run. Be sure to check out seasonal beers. They do a good job of switching out the flavors. Prices are spot on. Don't know what you want? Try the flight. Can't go wrong. Great for a date night or for large groups. Family friendly and just an inviting experience. They have themed nights so be sure to follow on Instagram to go on trivia or karaoke night. Last, DOG FRIENDLY inside and out. They welcome our four legged friends. Pets give it a 5-star too. Cheers! read more

Been here a few times. The ambiance is great with the pool table, games and tvs to watch sports. The staff is nice and friendly. I like the selection of different beers they have. This time I had the Horchata lager which went well my tacos from OG Tacos. Definitely recommend this place! read more

I really love this local brewery in Concord. They have a large selection of different types of beer including IPAs, hazy beers, pale ales, sours, seltzer, and they even make beer slushies - the flavors rotate weekly. The beers are STRONG and flavorful - which I prefer! I don't want any pansy 3-5% ABV beers lol. The staff is super friendly and it's also dog friendly! Brought my brothers and his pups this recent trip. Inside is spacious and there is a bar area, several tables and the back has a pool table and two pinball machines you can hang out at. I've been to their summer skull fest for the past two years I also like coming just for a beer on the weekends. Sometimes there will be live music and there's always a good food truck rotating as well. If you're interested they have a new beer membership now! $175 for annual, one free pour a day, or $1000 for lifetime. Calculated for one year is just 29 trips to make your membership! read more

A great Concord brewery. Hang with the people of Concord and nearby area. Beers priced mostly in the $5 to $7 range. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Lots of people of different ages just enjoying themselves. One pool table, video games, some other games. Beer brewed on the premises. A little tricky to find this spot, it's in a business park type of area full of where houses and the sign on the street is small. Look for the food truck parked out front and you'll know you found the spot. They also sell cans of beers to go. Check them out. read more

We first found Epidemic Ales at the Livermore Farmer's Market. Great service and good beer. We decided to check out in person since we were in Walnut Creek. It's tucked away in a business park. Very unassuming from the outside, but inside, it's a warehouse converted into a brewery. - Order up at the bar - During this visit, they gave us a coupon for the food truck (Al Carajo is the best) - Seating available inside or outside - Dog friendly (but we forgot to bring ours) - Large screen TVs (I was cheering on Women's gymnastic, it was awesome) I tried the beer slushie - I'm going to stick with beer. My husband got the beer flight. We were so impressed that we picked up a 4 pack to go. Food truck vendor may vary, so it's good to check online to see who will be there but if you like good beer, this is a good place to go! read more

Epidemic Ales has been serving up great suds, savory treats from rotating food trucks and fun times for those 21+. I prefer the dark stouts but recently tried the watermelon slushy. Oh my, very nice on a hot day! Located in the industrial party of Concord so there's always available parking. The food trucks are fan favorites so sometimes there's a line but it's worth the wait. Inside is a casual, cool vibe. Outdoor seating too. Large screen TVs and special events that please all types; comedy, painting, trivia and more. Hope over to the website for all the updated info. Staff are friendly and helpful. Clientele is a variety of young and old and there's always a dog or two in the mix. So many beers to choose from means something for everyone. Swing by, you won't be disappointed. read more

Location is key and this brewery is deep in the industrial part of Concord. I placed my order online for pickup & got there about 30-minutes before closing. Parking is easy & you walk in & they have your order ready. I was greeted immediately & both of my 4 packs were grabbed. I was then offered a taster for each of my beers. I LOVE the Guilty Pleasure - maple pecan pie. It's a little sweet & you can taste the maple. Affliction Amber Ale is very smooth & I liked it a lot. I was buying this 4 pack as a gift for a friend. I also love the can artwork. Definitely recommend trying them out - you won't be disappointed. read more

"Beer + Philly Cheesesteak + Gelato. Does it get any better than that?" I've been meaning to try this brewery for quite a while, and didn't quite know what to expect, especially with a crisis. There's quite a lot of covered outdoor seating, so I didn't have any trouble getting a little table. They also have plenty of hand sanitizer, so that's great. You order inside of course and then take your beer outside. Because of the crisis, you have to buy a food voucher for $5, but that's understandable. They had a food truck today that I visited, and I ordered a Philly cheese steak sandwich. A huge portion, and honestly, quite a bit more than I could eat. For a beer, I ordered a Pilsner, which was great for a hot summer day, for $6. Afterwards, I ordered a dark chocolate gelato. Man alive, the gelato might be even better than the beer! The staff here was really friendly and explained the history behind some of the artwork. So overall, a fantastic visit. I will definitely be back. Don't forget to get some gelato. read more

This place has so much potential to be better. Pros. 1. beer is ok and is made there. 2. Location is good also . 3. Staff is friendly Cons. 1. No security at all. 2. No age requirement and when the show started a couple of teenagers started talking and wouldn't $hut up. It was so disrespectful towards the comedians, nobody could hear their jokes. I had to leave due to this. 3. They need to put a speaker on the left side next to the pool table. It's very difficult to hear especially when others won't $hit up. 4. Eat before you come here or bring your own food. Food truck was horrible and overpriced. I'll come back in a couple of months with hopes they get their act together. read more

Saw a Groupon for this place and decided to check it out with my boyfriend. I'm not a beer fan but I'm still testing the waters and I'm willing to try some samples whenever I can! You get a really awesome vibe when walking in. Everyone here seems like they're just trying to chill and hang out. There was a Trivia game going on, and it seems like they tend to have a lot of events. There's also a kid-friendly room, and some board games near the entrance. Food trucks come on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Friday-Sundays! I really liked the Red Ale (Red Plague) and Lager at World End. The Nutty and Nice(?) As well, the smell of it was interesting. Our Groupon also got us two Epidemic Ale glasses to take home! Which was awesome. I can see myself coming back here if I'm ever wanting some beer or just want to chill out on a random afternoon! Definitely a place to check out read more

Epidemic Ales - Flightsss! - Breweries Near Me - Concord, California

Located in the industrial part of Concord, Epidemic Ales is a chill brewery to check out! The fiancé got a Groupon deal for a flight of eight plus a cup to take home as a souvenir. The warehouse is spacious with plenty of seating inside and out. There are many games to play with including a pool table, Jenga, ladder toss, and corn hole. There is also a playroom for younger children. Beer wise, they had a fairly nice selection. However, most were IPA, which I am not a big fan of. Therefore, I didn't really drink much. Nonetheless, I still had a wonderful time and thought Epidemic Ales was a cool spot to hang out! The atmosphere is laid back. Parking wasn't an issue, and although we didn't get to interact much with the staff, they appeared to be nice. read more

I've been coming here for the past 5 years, once a year, and each time it gets a little better. But this past time was awesome! Practice makes perfect right? I think they're nearing perfection of the flavorful beers, they're rich and full of flavor, and have a nice variety for everyone. The best part? You can get a full glass of craft beer for as low as $6! Most craft breweries are charging $7-10+ a beer these days. In an age of 8%+ Inflation, this place is a deal! read more

This is a very cool hang out spot to go and try some beer and relax. Staff is very friendly and they have tons of beer to select from. Staff is also very knowledgeable if you are unsure of what you want or might like you tell them what you like and they will make a flight for you. I am more of a sour girl and hard seltzer. The sours and seltzers I have tried from here so far I have really enjoyed. They also have a slushy beer which rotates. Those are really good as well, they make them a little sweater which I believe makes them taste better. This time they had a band playing live music it was not might type of music but they put on a nice show. We will be back soon. read more

This is a decent spot for beer with TVs, pool, and a children's playroom! We happened to be here during a niners game, and there was a good amount of seating. There were several beers on tap--I had a pale ale and a porter. The porter was decent, the pale ale was OK. They had a grilled cheese food truck outside, which was pretty good. Overall, this seems like a decent neighborhood brewery to hang out with friends and family, but I wouldn't come out of my way for the beer. read more

Lots of people around 6 but by 8 it had started to clear out and the sun had set so it wasn't as hot. read more

They've got some pinball machines and a projector that will usually have the game on. Bring your kids along for the play room. They've also got food trucks 5 days during the week to offer up a little more than bar bites. read more

Reviews did not lie. Service here is great. I didn't get his name, but the one who helped us out had so much energy, you could tell he loved working there. Haha he was head banging to the music playing while pouring our drinks. I just thought that was funny. This place gets busy! Be prepared to stand and wait for a table. We came here on a Friday around 7pm. Luckily we were able to snag a seat inside. I was under the impression that there were going to be a couple of food trucks in this area. There's actually just one vendor selling tacos (at least for that day) and they ran out of meat when I was standing in line :( Overall, good place with good vibes. Kid friendly too. There were alot of families here. Looks like a good place for a date night when you're not able to find a sitter. I would just say be courteous and keep them close by. Two kids were sitting by themselves and took up an entire bench (enough for 6 people). read more
