Bottom line: Nice little taproom in the public market - pick up beer to-go or stay to sip and hang out. Context: Friday morning, my boyfriend and I came for a can release, stayed to sample some taps. Anyone who knows me knows that I love beer, but I'm also all about the food! So I'm usually disappointed by beer places that don't also offer eats. But in this case, it's okay -- this Fieldwork location is within the Oxbow Public Market. You can get food elsewhere and bring it here to enjoy along with your brews. Similar to the Berkeley Fieldwork location, it has a bright feel. You can sit inside at the bar or go out to the patio. Friendly bartenders; ability to order flights to try a variety of beers; get growlers, crowlers, or cans to go. Thumbs up! read more

Napa's Fieldwork is in an awesome little open air shopping and restaurant setting. I enjoyed my time here and met a few people from other countries here at the same place. It is a melting pot !! Great time had by all. Many good food options available and are welcome here. I highly recommend checking them out if you are in the area. Great vibe and a lot of happy people. read more

Best customer service! High recommend this place if like beers. You can bring your outside food to your place and enjoy their beers

Our relatives first brought us here, and it's the only beer we drink now. We haven't been back since Covid, but we still order online all the time whenever we see our favorites or new ones we like to try. Delivery is really fast. We'll be back soon to fill our growlers!:) read more

I'm from San Diego and familiar with many different breweries. This place had some awesome tasting beer, and it's in the cutest little market. We went to Napa for wine tasting, but came here twice! Service was great and helpful. Must check it out if you like beer! read more

Minus two stars because the kid that filled one of my crowlers with the wrong beer! ...I certainly didn't realize it until hours later, back at the hotel. And it was with a saison-tasting-sour-arsed sort that I've never liked. I drink a lot of beer and I frequent the Berkeley location. ...if you're here and it's on the later side, I recommend you watch to make sure that the right stuff is being poured in your take-away. read more

I enjoy the whole feel of this brewery. It's small, urban & the designs fit perfectly. The staff members are helpful & friendly with helping you choose the perfect brew for you'd prices are decent for Napa. The location is prime as well, enjoy a cold one & grab dinner or sweets from any of the other vendors. Plus, it looks like you can take some beer home with you as well. read more

Really special beers here, and in a great setting. Was visiting from the LA (Torrance) area where we're proud of our locs like Monkish, Smog City etc. During our bay area getaway the wife got to visit three oyster bars; I got to visit three breweries. We stopped at Almanac, Russian River and Fieldwork. Fieldwork was my favorite, one because I'd never had their beer and two because they've clearly taken the time to *craft* some honest yet adventurous craft beer. Had Island Time, Virtual Planetoid and Hannah as well as splashes of a few others on the menu. Island Time was one of the tastiest sours I've had, VP was a proper palate smasher and Hannah was truly transcendent. But you definitely don't have to be a beer geek to appreciate their concoctions. Had to leave with a couple growlers even though I live 300+ miles away and can't get em refilled any time soon. Or maybe I'll make a special trip, we'll see. It'd be worth it. Thanks guys for making rad beer. read more

One of the best breweries. Its a nice little brewery inside of Oxbow Market. Welcoming and friendly staff. Ordered the hop and glo IPA and it was pretty refreshing! read more

FIELDWORK has a cool little tap room in the Oxbow Market in downtown Napa. There's about 20 stools and maybe 15 beers on tap to enjoy there, or get your growler fill. I had two double IPAs. The Supercell is a danky 8.4%, and the King Citra as a citrusy and juicy 8.7% masterpiece. The Supercell was good, but King Citra was elite. I got a couple of cans of that to go. Nice to have a great beer spot in the middle of wine country. 4.5 stars! read more

Great time at Fieldwork Brewing. I was at Russian River the day before and it was recommended I stop here as I traveled through Napa. The staff were the best, offering tasters and feedback on options. #Hills and Valleys read more

Place is in a really cool spot. Sat outside and people watched. The inside gives you a market feel with all of the different businesses. Oh by the way, the beer was great. Got a flight and wasn't disappointed. But then again, when does beer ever disappoint. read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Flight! - Breweries Near Me - Napa, California

This review is more for the employees (or owners, not sure who staffs the bar) than the beer. The beer was okay, nothing to distinguish it from a million other local breweries appearing every week everywhere. We tried 4 different brews and 3 were good, one was less so but that's probably subjective. What could have turned good beer into a great experience was friendly staff who were helpful instead of arrogant and dismissive. We sat down during a quiet spell, only 4 other people there at the time. The male staff member was not at all welcoming. We looked up at the board, and we asked him a couple questions. His answers were curt and impatient, because clearly we should already have known everything before even entering. What really burned me was that he was so unwilling to answer our questions but he never directed us to the little ring-bound menu of descriptions they have available! We would have happily looked at it if we'd know it existed! Instead, we dealt with attitude-boy, placed our order, and then saw another customer looking at the ring-bound list. Great, thanks. There was also a woman working while we were there but she never so much as looked our way, was not friendly to anyone. We drank our beers with no interaction from Mr. Personality and then paid and left. Won't be back. There are WAY too many great breweries to support this one. read more

This place needs improvement! The beer is great but why do they only have one person working the bar on a busy night? Why do they allow people to sit one person to a five person table. I hope they can improve so locals will want to come here. This isn't Starbucks! read more

Great addition to the Oxbow Market in downtown Napa. Just what they needed there! Plenty of wine and great food. Tap room is a great spot to add! Nice beers, the staff is very friendly and the design is nice. Indoor and outdoor seating, you can grab food from one of the several vendors inside the marketplace and enjoy it the taproom!

Enjoyed their beer tasting, love their IPAs and brought home DayMoney and JuicyMane. They have a nice outdoor seating area outside and they allow you to bring food from the other vendors to enjoy their beers with. Lovely service staff, will drop by again when we're in Napa. read more

Great beer options overall! Also a super chill spot to just hang and relax if you're not looking for wine! Dani and Max were super great and Dani gave us great tips on what kinds of beer we were looking into & letting us know her own options of them - which is something I always enjoy! I got the Hannah & my husband got owl theory (Czech dark larger) GREAT beer choices!! Wish we had one closer to go to more often. read more

Good service, but it gets very crowded and can take a while to get an order in. Some of the beer was outstanding, but some was pretty weird.

I did not care for most of the drafts here, but that is not why I rated the place low. After all, it would be impossible to love all the beer everywhere I go, so that's not their fault. I was here early in the summer with a friend of mine and the server working that day was arrogant , sarcastic & dismissive. I sat down and asked if the restaurant next door (which is what we had come to Oxbow for) was closed and he responded with some rude comment. My friend asked some questions, which he did answer, but he had no interest in teaching us about any of their beer and acted like we were beneath him. He made me feel as though I didn't belong and was barely welcome. read more

Wow. The Pulp IPA is off the charts. Fun people, great attitudes, just a cool place(s). Have been to the Sacto and Napa tap rooms.

Well I have mixed feelings about my visit here. I'll start with the good and end with the negative. The bar had a nice atmosphere if you like this little shopping center, you're able to bring outside food in as we saw with a group of people eating off of a very large loaf of bread which I might add looked delicious. The staff was friendly and attentive and I liked the the options they had if you wanted to bring some beer with you. Given the taste of the beer not blowing my mind but still enjoyable I would have given this establishment 4 stars had it not been for one issue that I could not shake. There was an option to choose any of the on tap beers and get them to go in a can however it was filled right in front of you. I personally thought it was neat and planned on grabbing a couple until I saw that someone else ordered one and after it was filled and sealed they dipped it in a bucket that in my opinion was beyond disgusting. The bucket should not be cleaned at this point but instead needs to be replaced. When you visit anywhere that offers food or beverage a great visit can be destroyed by a lack in cleanliness. I am not dropping my rating to a 1 because the glasses and the rest of the brewery appeared to be clean but today that bucket cost them the sale of at least 2 extra beers. read more

If you like fresh craft beer, you simply can't go wrong with Fieldwork Brewing. I've been to several of their locations and have yet to be disappointed in any way. Their brews cover a number of different styles but they are particularly masterful when it comes to the many varieties of IPAs. But if you don't like IPAs, don't let that stop you from giving them a try. We sampled a raspberry sour during a recent visit and my wife loved it...even though she normally won't touch a sour. One other thing to recommend Fieldwork Brewing? I have never experienced anything negative with any of their beertenders...always pleasant, professional and informative. read more

Great Greeting! Awful service , cause we did not get any, 5"7 white kid, said to us ! We will be right with you, but then yet he was having a full blown conversation with another customer and his his son, today's date is 8/13/17 around 6pm, We stood up and walked away. We were expecting at least a ( I'm sorry Am I coming back ?) F...ck no! Other places deserve my money! The ones that care about creating a customer increase Base! Thanks Aloha!!! read more

The beer here is amazing. Pulp is one of my top favorites from Fieldwork Brewing.

This is a long overdue review, and would be 5 stars just for the beer. But I want to mention the manager, Curstin, who worked with me to order growlers for my wedding. Even though the venue messed up and only served half of what we brought in, our guests loved the beer and Curstin did every thing to make the process easy. She even brought over a couple of beers on the house to my officiant and I when we stopped by before the ceremony to shake off some nerves. Thanks Curstin!! read more

The beer is sound but nothing I would go out of my way for. The Oxbow market itself is really nice so you may as well have a beer while you are there and see for yourself. read more

Just what Oxbow needed. Beer! So glad this place moved in. I've been 3 times now and everything I've tried, I've liked. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable about beer so tell them what you like or find something new. The best part is that you can get a brew with your friends and then walk around Oxbow and get dinner. A great way to start or end the evening. read more

Make this a MUST! Great atmosphere, awesome beer and various foods near by. Best part is the beer selection changes.

Awesome beer and people I was in town for Bottle Rock, and hit this place every day. I'll Be Back!!

What a great addition to the Oxbow Market! Fantastic idea to have a Fieldwork tasting room in an already very cool space. Delicious beers, awesome setting. Definitely worth a visit read more

The beer is CRAZY WICKED beautiful. Seriously. If you like Pliny, this is even better. Lots of styles and high ABVs.

I really wanted to love this place. Napa has no good craft beer options in town. We went to Fieldwork last night. The staff were helpful and super polite so that's a plus, but the "beer"... yikes! To put it out there I am a woman that likes her beer to taste like beer. Rouge, Stone, Napa Smith, Speakeasy, are commercial ones I really enjoy...even Anchor Steam on occasion. This place likes to experiment so much that you really question if you are drinking beer or not. The atmosphere left a lot to be desired as well. I felt like I was drinking in a mall food court. Bright and annoyingly hard to just sit and relax with a killer pint of ale. The ale was not killer and the environment was not relaxing. If you are a beer/craft brew lover, I'd just wait for Stone Brewery to open up across the street. Now that's exciting! read more

Their beer is just. so. good. Their specialty is definitely IPAs, but honestly everything I've tried from Fieldwork has been fantastic. Try everything! read more

The only reason that I'm not giving this post 5 stars (as good as it gets) it's due to the fact that this location does not have a larger space. I would love to see them occupy more room & add food options etc. - Given that they are in the Oxbow Market, they just have a sit at bar...but their beer is exquisite! Lots of varieties, good prices (comparatively to other breweries)... they also offer "crowlers" & "growlers" to go. If you're a beer drinker then definitely make this a must to stop by & try a flight. read more
