One of the best breweries in the Bay Area's local tap in Napa. Spreading that good love of experimental IPA's, hazies, light beers and tasty stouts. Get a sampler if you're not sure or you love beer, because you get to try all you want. Fieldwork is great beer, I'm glad that they have a tasting room at the Oxbow market. When I am in the area, we stop in for a pint or sampler and a six pack or crowler to go. Please just don't call it Fieldworks, lol. read more

Their new outdoor area is really nice. The staff is extremely helpful and the beer selection is large. They even allow you to grab small bites from inside the Oxbow to enjoy while visiting. read more

One of my favorite stops to make inside Oxbow Public Market! I usually come here after having a burger at Gott's roadside. I stop by Kara's cupcakes right next door because they allow outside food, and I enjoy cupcakes with my beer, I mean who doesn't? They have so many great varieties on tap so I always choose to get a flight which contain 6 generously poured samples of your choosing. Their juicy IPAs are always a hit in my book. Bartenders are friendly and offer great recommendations if you're unsure of what to get. Despite it not being in the biggest location I've never had a problem getting a seat as they have both indoor and outdoor seating. Next time you're in Napa you should definitely stop by for a few beers. read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Flight, comes with 6 samples - Breweries Near Me - Napa, California

We love coming to brewery in the east bay. The beer is fresh and the choices ample. Whatever your taste Fieldwork has a brew for you. Not certain? Try the sampler. It's a lot of beer! I prefer the IPAs and my bride the Pilsners. We're such a match. Enjoy! read more

Such a fresh and delicious beer. I'm obsessed with Fieldwork's double IPA's. I love all of them. If you can find a Fieldwork with a kitchen, try their pizza, salads, and hummus plate. Super good. read more

Nice little surprise! I had no idea there was a brewery inside Oxbow Public Market in Napa. My friend and I were exploring and they opened just as we were walking by, so the place practically beckoned me in. They open a little later than other shops in the market at 11am, but it's liquor. Makes sense. My friend and I were their first customers this past Saturday! Fieldwork Brewing Company is apparently a Berkeley brewery and this is a satellite location. The bar quickly filled up as soon as they opened so it must be a well loved place. I wasn't planning on drinking at the market but so many of their beers sounded delicious, I just had to try them. Tastings were just $2 each which was awesome. I was really impressed with the variety of their offerings - a couple of sours (Carribean Queen was great!), imperial IPAs, pale ales, red ales, stouts - there was something for everyone. I loved the sound of their Churro Cream Ale but it fell a bit short for me. 1 out of 2 ain't bad though! I wish I had the chance to try more but would definitely come here again, as well as visit their main brewery. Service was friendly and the bartenders were being very personable with everyone. If you want beer to go they do crowlers and growlers. If you're in Oxbow Market, most definitely pop by for a reasonably priced flight! read more

Ordered a Flight at Fieldwork Brewing on Thursday evening. A very cool space that has decent beer. Not a destination brewery, but fine as part of a visit to the market area. Quality: Fieldwork Brewing offers several pre-made Flights, but we created our own. Attempting to touch on the diverse options I went with Hannah, Slava Ukraini, Noho Dank, Blue Roofs, Small Cookies, and Morning Time. I found the excessive marijuana references in the descriptions a bit odd, not sure if it was related to the recent holiday. In terms of beers, they were fine. The highlight was Hannah a biere de garde, while the IPAs were all okay. I did not like Small Cookies, a gingerbread stout that was way too sweet. Quantity: Six 5oz Pours make this a heftier Flight. Value: $18 for a Flight. Ambiance: Fieldwork Brewing has an outpost located in Oxbow Public Market in Napa. The brewery has a pretty cool look, adding some farm elements to a traditional industrial brewery feel. Inside the highlight is this distinctive lighted mural. They also have a big outdoor patio, which had a fire-pit we sat around. Crowd: One large family and a few other guests on Thursday evening. Service: Multiple staff behind bar, but no one seemed too interested in being there. Parking: Large shared lot with market. read more

Sadly we were treated extremely unfairly at this brewery. Bartenders were rude from the start. We had a larger group (20) and they are not open to hosting that many people. I would suggest taking your money to all the other amazing spots next door. read more

Fieldwork is the only brewery located inside of Oxbow. Not really a brewery but full tasting bar. They have so many options on tap. Not all of their breweries are the same, the Monterey location has different beer and less on tap. Busy on a weekend afternoon. Service was good. Beer came out fast. They filled our crowlers quickly also. They only have 1 preset flight. We built our own, you pick your poison and each taster has a price. The taster pours are huge. A lot more then your typical pour. My favorites were Mandarina & Juice Crusher. I bought crowlers to go. read more

My girlfriend and I just had lunch at Gotts next door and decided to walk around in the market to digest. We made a full circle, and noticed that they now have a brewery in the corner; and it's not just any brewery, it's FIELDWORK!!!!! Fieldwork in Berkeley is a Bay Area favorite of ours and it's very nice to know that they also found a home in Napa. It's much smaller than the Berkeley location, but it's probably the best thing that the oxbow market has ever added. It's nice to know that they have the same great tasting beers, and I love love love love love that they welcome outside food. Now we can just get our burgers from Gotts and settle on over for a beer or two. Or three. Or five whatever. read more

I came up to do some wine tasting but decided to stop by the Owbow Public Market to have an English Muffin from Model Bakery and check out Fieldwork. Even though I reside in the East Bay I have yet to hit up their brewery in Berkeley, (I know, I know... bad Baydestrian!) but figured I'd check out their tasting room here. We arrived a little earlier than 11, so we walked around the market (hello sensory overload!!). We came back a little after 11 and decided to share a couple of stouts. We had the Cocoanut and Mexican Hot Chocolate. I literally cannot tell you which one I liked more, as they were both excellent. My bff wanted to know what's so great about IPAs as she recently had her first PTY experience and didn't really care for it. I tried to explain hoppyness but had a hard time doing so. Amanda was super helpful and even let us sample March On and another fruity ipa. She explained how NE style aka hazy ipas isn't as bitter as West Coast ones. We left to do some wine tastings, hoping to come back and get some growlers and special edition cans. Unfortunately when we did come back, the March On was tapped and there were no more cans. Guess we'll have to make a trip to Berkeley! read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Half pour of the Mexican Hot Chocolate after we drank some down. So yummy!! - Breweries Near Me - Napa, California

Popped in for a beer after perusing Oxbow Public Market. Nice outdoor area but was a little too warm so opted for inside, but it was also uncomfortably warm with no fans moving air. The beer and service was good, but to be honest it looked to pull a younger crowd so we felt a little out of place. The vibe is casual and fun with folks playing cards at some tables. Not sure we'd go back as was a little cramped inside if outside is too warm, but appeared to be pretty popular with locals. read more

Great vibes, beer types for all tastes! They don't sell food but you can BYO w/o problem. I liked the fact that half glass is available, for when a tasting size is not enough but a full glass limits your options read more

Fieldwork's NorCal beer empire keeps growing. I've been a huge fan of Fieldwork beers since day 1. To say I frequent their Berkeley brewery would be an understatement. With Napa, that's now 4 of their 6 locations I've been to. Location, location, location, indeed. & I'm really liking this spot in the Oxbow Public Market. Parking hasn't been too tough in the available lot. It's a small, cozy setup, but grabbing a seat at the bar hasn't been a problem. Theme & decor carry over from their other locations. & it was nice to see a familiar face from Berkeley who moved over to Napa. I already mentioned loving their beers. Pro tip: if Berkeley is sold out of a bottle/ can release, Napa might still have it. read more

Relaxed venue with equally laidback and welcoming staff. Perfect venue for the family and adults. We were allowed to bring our own snack without complaints. read more

The service was very accommodating and the atmosphere is so nice. Unfortunately, just was underwhelmed by the beers. Especially the milk stout. Was really hoping for more. read more

If you, like me, are So.TIred.Of. IPAs. Then check out this place! First, IBUs are listed so that you can make a s tasty decision. They have some lower IBU, really nice German style beers. I had the Austrian style lager and it was tasty as heck! My drinking companion does prefer *bitter* (IMHO) beers, and he enjoyed one of the many IPAs on tap. Great people watching. Great company at the bar. Get thee to Fieldwork! read more

I've been a big fan of Fieldwork since before their expansion out to Sacramento, Napa, et all. They've been cranking out inventive, quality beers since you had to travel to Berkeley to get them or go to a bar where the beer buyer was "in the know." Luckily, times have changed, and Fieldwork is readily accessible outside of Berkeley, and found in its own taprooms and beer bars across California. The Napa location is a lot like the Sacramento taproom, in the sense that it's relatively small yet offers a pretty large and competitive selection. What sets Napa's location apart is its setting within the Oxbow Public Market. Wanna people watch? Great spot to do it. Not sure what you want to eat? Great place to get a beer and think about the variety of food you have access to. If you wanna grab something and bring it back to the bar, you only have to walk a handful of feet! Not too shabby. Service is nice, bartenders are friendly, and the selection is just as quality as it has been since their launch a few years back. I'm looking forward to spending some time here. read more

What a great beer tasting room in the heart of wine country! Duncan took great care of me, allowing me to taste and chat about some of the beers before committing to a glass! Really enjoyed the variety of beers and atmosphere of the tasting room. Tucked away just off of Oxbow Public Market, the indoor space is rustic and inviting, but the outdoor patio is a must! So happy to have found this during my recent jaunt to Napa! read more

Came here on a whim after a quick brunch at Five Dot in the Oxbox Market (which BTW is a cute little indoor farmer's market, a must stop in Napa). I tried their West Coast IPA and it was definitely hoppy. It's bold, hoppy, and with an easy finish. I liked this brewery so much that I even a Fieldwork t-shirt. On my return trip, I'll look forward to trying some of their crafts. read more

This place really cheered up my day. The beer is flavorful and easy going all around, I highly recommend getting a flight to taste many. My favorite was the Emilie, its super flavorful and a good feel beer. Must trys, for fun, is their sours. Both the Rad Delicious and Squanchy Party brought a nice element of change to our regular beer sittings. Service was nice and friendly, overall vibe was excellent. One bonus tip is to bring food from other places in the plaza and enjoy the sun! read more

Friendly service, nice beer. As someone else wrote, it's a little space for the brewery, but the selection of beers to sample is vast. The beer menu is well displayed and the service was knowledgeable about the different brews, and helped me select a good sample of beers, of the types I like for my flight. All of the samples were generous popes, for a great price. I could have easily shared this flight with someone else. As for the beers, I can't remember the names of them, but I had two pilsners, two west coast IPA's, and two other IPA's. All were served at the right temperature (my liking), all had the attributes described by my server. Nice beer, nice place. I give Fieldwork a solid B+ read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Six beer flight - Breweries Near Me - Napa, California

Mmmm, mmmm, I do love beer. Fieldwork has been pumping out the tasty kettle sours during the entirety of quarantine, and I finally had to come by and show love. We have come through for four packs of cans and crowlers about 4 times in the last few weeks, and I can not say enough good things about the quality of both the service and the beer. You can conveniently order on their website for fast pick up at Oxbow Market, but make sure to bring a mask. We also did have a cheeky pint on the patio recently, and while it felt a bit surreal to be sipping a hazy out in public, everyone was taking the proper precautions, and again, cannot state how satisfied I was with both the beer and the service. Hours are a bit limited at the moment, but with a regularly updated offering it's worth keeping a pulse on what's brewing at Fieldwork. read more

Fieldwork has some yummy beers, and their tastings are thumbsup! Kids got ice cream and sat at the bar with me while I sampled a handful of beers. The staff was accommodating, friendly, and very helpful. If you're not sure about a certain beer they're pouring, they'll give you a small sample before pouring your tasting. Such a great site to see at Oxbow! Favorite part, we found something we liked and got a couple tall cans to-go for the pool later that day. read more

Great customer service, Amazing beer. very knowledgeable staff. Will definitely visit again.

Ordered 2 flights of 6 beers each and they were all really good! (Favorites: Bloom Service & Cobra Mai) Highly recommend this place and will be back when in the area! read more

My friend and I came here to grab a few drinks after a stressful day at work. For $18 not including tip, we were able to get 6 glasses of beer (the flight). The flavor we choose included: Luke's Diner, Night Moves, Morning Time, Chilton, PB&J parfait, and Loser's Club. Out of all the flavors we choose from, my favorite was the PB&J parfait because it was the sweetest. My friend liked the first three mentioned above because they tasted more like coffee. A few other things I'd like to mention: 1. Plenty of parking, if you can't find one right next to the Oxbow Market, there is another parking lot across from it. 3 hours max free. 2. If you want to grab some fresh produce, or food... it's literally in the same area. (My friend and I ended up buying food at a Mexican restaurant named Casa, and we bought ice cream at three twins ice cream for dessert. I'll yelp about those two spots as well. 3. The area where we drank had a bar like setting. It's a great place to chat if you want to catch up with a friend or family member. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place. It's such a great spot to rewind, so even if you don't want to drink any alcohol, just stop by to check out the fresh produce, shops, restaurants, etc. read more

Fieldwork Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Napa, California

We stopped in for a beer. We were the only customers for at least 15 mins. No one greeted us, no one bothered to make suggestions and no one said "thank you have a nice day" when we left. We ordered/paid out with QR code, our beer was set in front of us no "enjoy". and then they have the nerve to request a tip?! for what? Call me old fashioned but a little customer service would go a long way here. The atmosphere seemed cool but the service was as cold as the beer. With all the options in Napa based on our experience I would not recommend as a "must go" to place to a fellow visitor. Yes, the beer was good but one can get a micro brew just about anywhere these days served with a smile. read more
