Apricot Hard Cider
Mary S.

Service was great. Laid back vibes. Loved that it wasn't too loud. Double hazy IPA was my fav. Loved having a cider option.

Flight
Emily W.

Nice spot to grab some drinks and hang out. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. Friendly service. We got 2 flights to share and all of them were pretty good. They had a taco truck outside the main entrance and we got some nachos from there. Nachos were ok, but glad there were some food options.

Great laid-back spot to hang out and enjoy a drink (or five--who's judging? ). They have food trucks on certain days, so definitely call ahead to see what's available. Parking can be a little tricky on busy nights, but nothing too bad. There's also a small arcade room next to the restrooms (separate from the brewery), which is a fun little surprise. I ordered a hard cider and it was only about $6--super affordable. The atmosphere is relaxing, prices are fair, and best of all... dogs are allowed!

Many options, there's a beverage for everyone here! It does get very crowded during peak hours and you may have to park a few blocks down. People host events here as well and there are some board games provided.

Had a great time hanging out here with my son's basketball team, coaches, and team parents. Chill vibe, pet and kid friendly, great beer! Nothing fancy, nothing wasteful. Food options were limited but really enjoyed the Columbian food being served by pop-up vendor Mezcla Eats at this location which had some great vegetarian choices too! Paired well with the beers! The boys had a ton of fun with Jenga. though pretty sure they weren't playing it correctly with blocks flying in a couple different directions Service at the cash register was ok. The person taking my order made it feel like she was doing me a favor, and not very interested in answering even a simple question. C'mon, smile - it's beer!

Peach seltzer and a sour ale. Both were delicious.

We hosted a medium-size gathering on Saturday. We used the back patio area along the railroad tracks. It's super nice because it's not as noisy as inside and there are overhangs and plastic panels that keep you warm and dry. Luckily it wasn't raining that day and the weather was chilly, but we were very comfortable. You're able to bring food and we opened a tab for our group to order beer and hard seltzer. The process was super easy and our group really enjoyed what they ordered. All of us tried things we had never had before. I especially liked the peach hard seltzer . I highly recommend this for group gatherings. There was a baby shower in the main warehouse area and lots of groups, enjoying drinks and snacks. Unfortunately, they don't serve food like they do in Los Gatos but since you can bring your own, it wasn't a problem. At first we thought parking would be difficult, but there is lots of parking in the back and limited street parking. This business is dog friendly, which is another bonus.

Inside
Roxanne I.

Great service, great drinks. Lots of seating inside and outside. Super loud inside. Small lot for parking, plenty of street parking.

Alice H.

Great selections, and each beer has its own unique taste. Highly recommended! And the pizza food truck outside of the brewery is amazing too!

Jasmine F.

Always a great time at hapas great beer and different every season I feel. Service is great bartenders are always in a great mood. The place is spacious with games and plenty of tables and a different food truck in front every time I come. A great place to just hang out with friends and yap away. Magic moon was definitely my favorite this time around and nice crisp hazy light.

Tina L.

Love the vibe here. Outdoorsy and has its own unique twist all around this barn like metal front warehouse. Their list of what they offer is dreamy. Catchy names though the taste is more precious. I was recommended the Butterfly Wings the most popular airy citrus beer. Bad had the Hungry Dog, a bit darker IPA. Dropped in with our son, it's his 24th birthday today so we had a beer together as he awaits his friends to join him. Atmosphere is vibrant with Brooklyn Pizza truck parked out front. And music in the background sets the mood. Good conversations and a good time.

Stephanie H.

Love the vibes here! It was a great experience coming here with friends. The beers were really good! We had a flight of beers and I was surprised how easy the beer went down and also the after taste of it - the few selected beer I had was delightfully fruity. The brewery is located inside a warehouse and it seems like there are other shops too! Service was quick and they were helpful with deciding with drinks. The plus side is that dogs are allowed. I saw a bunch of cute doggos!!

Hazy IPA
Sammi L.

Hapa's is a regular stop for us - often with a doggo! They always have a good selection of beers on tap, indoor/outdoor seating and good food trucks. Staff are always so warm and friendly, and the space is open and clean. It fills up quickly on weeknights and weekends, but we've always found space, either standing at a high table or sharing a table. Super dog-friendly, too! Parking is usually not hard to find - the bathrooms either, just a short walk. I think there's a small pinball arcade down the hall, too. We love the hazy IPAs on tap, and we always stay and hang out or play board games for 3 or 4 rounds of drinks.

Crunch wrap supreme and a n/a ipa

Good vibes, n/a beer option which I appreciated, food trucks out front and pin ball around the corner! Parking was a bit tricky and it can get a bit crowded/loud but overall great vibes

Ask the Community - Hapa's Brewing Company

Is this place kid friendly?

Yes it is and dog friendly too. They have games and puzzles that anyone can play with. Also down the hall there is another place that recently opened up that has very cool vintage and new pinball machines.

Can you bring your own food?

While we have a different/rotating food truck each day, we still allow you to bring in outside food if you’d like!

What food truck will be there this Wed (9/7/22)? Do you post a food truck schedule anywhere?

It’s pretty regular but we post each week on instagram and keep it in our highlights for the week. Wednesday is T MO’s which is burgers, fries, and Mexican.

What time does the food truck show up on Sunday?

Our rotating food trucks are there from open to close every day we are open.

Is there a corkage fee for your own wine bottles you bring?

Unfortunately, we can’t have wine in the taproom at our San Jose location. We have wine on tap at our Los Gatos location though!

Do they serve food?

Yes

Can we bring in our own growlers to be filled?

Yes you can! All you need is a lid that can be sealed

Are you guys open yet for outdoor seating.. possibly for a group of 10?

Open for outdoor seating. Yes. But it has to be groups of 6 or less.

Is the tap room currently open? Can I visit with 3 other people (wearing masks of course) and a dog?

Currently our taproom is closed both inside and outside because we don't have a kitchen on site. Hopefully when it is safe to open up, we'd love to have you, your pod, and dog!… 

How are they open now with the fact that there can be no more than 35 people present?

We are actually closed. I’ll adjust the hours.

Are there non-alcoholic beverages for kids?

We have Capri suns, la croix, sodas, and water.

Do you need RSVP for party of 14?

No. It’s open seating and first come first serve.

It’s in the hallway. They are communal with the other units in the building

So they have cider?

Unfortunately, we do not.

Is it dog friendly?

Yes!

Do they have gift cards available for purchase?

Yes we do!! Stop on by!!!

Good for large parties? Can we reserve spots for a group?

Hapas has a private party space where they brew beer. This is for parties larger than 20 people and there is a rental fee associated with it.… 

Is this place kid friendly?

It sure is!

Do ya sell Hapa's growlers, also is fill ups great priced?

No. They sell big cans that they produce on demand. Great prices? Not even remotely. Glasses of beers are $8-$9, then with tax and tip you pay $10 to sit there among kids and dogs running wild.

Very small informal but well appointed space. We stopped in for a quick dinner before a show at…read morethe SAP center. It is the kind of place that you line up to order and are given a number to take to your choice of open tables. There were several people in front of us and it did take longer than we thought it would. But the delay was because people were all chatting and asking questions of the staff. Not in anyway delayed because of the staff. They are very friendly and attend to each customer fully in their turn. The taps are VERY unique and they will offer you a taste of their special brews. My wife got a sour and enjoyed it. I played it safer and got a ca of cider, which was delicous. For food we share a salad and and veggie burger. Both were good. The food takes a few minutes. So don't expect fast-food. This is a slow food place that makes ever item to order and tastes like it. Everything we had was very good. Note - This is a vegetarian restaurant that offer vegan options too. So, you need to know that going in. If you're in the area I recommend this place.

Such a "not so hidden" gem…read more Very generous portions. Flavors overall are solid and very hearty. Appreciated that they have 5oz beer pours to make your own flight. Blue corn polenta (5/5): This was the MVP of the meal. Amazing hearty and umami flavors perfect for autumn. Highly recommend. Half funky nachos: Half portion was huge! Flavors were fine. Mac and Cheeze: Solid and portion was enough for an entree Pretzel with beet beer mustard: Solid Service is friendly. Would recommend for those in the area!

Hazy Crazy Happy…read moreNational Hazy IPA Day! 8/20/26 (it's celebrated every 3rd Thursday of August) Independent, locally-owned brewer that took over the old Santa Clara Valley Brewing, Co. (RIP) location. They also happen to make what I believe are the best Hazy IPAs in The Bay Area--and trust me when I say I drink a *lot* of Hazy IPAs. I have the photos to prove it. The Good: * This location is their taproom and brewery and has a nice bar area with games, as well as a more open back space where they have events, like live readings of Shakespeare. * Friendly service The Meh: * There is no food, but they do have food trucks on occasion, especially during the aforementioned events. * I wish they had a rewards program. The Ugly: * The parking lot is fairly small and shouldn't be an issue during normal business hours. There is some street parking available, as well. * The area is kind of "hoody," but you'll be all right. Conclusion: Support your local brewers! Sláinte!

I love this place despite giving them a mediocre review, I felt like I need to after last incident…read more We were there to meet up with a friend to watch the Argentina vs Cape Verde. The gentlemen beertender, who helped us was very friendly, we chopped it up on the type of beers and working schedule. We took a seat in the warehouse and I notice that the game audio was not turned on while loud music was playing in the background, As I was asking my wife of why they don't have the audio on, the gentleman sat next to us told us that they won't turn the game volume on because the live DJ will be performing in 2 hrs, I told him that's 2 hrs from now, let me ask. I went to the counter and met with the female beertender, I kindly asked if we can have the soccer game volume turn on since the DJ won't be here for another 2 hrs. I was hit wit a response of "Nope, I won't turn it on" I know that a brewery establishment have rule that they need to abide to but c'mon man, at least give a more professional response then "Nope, I won't turn it on" I planned on giving only 10% tip due to this encountered, but as I went up to pay, the gentleman who helped me earlier remembered my name as the card on file. I ended up giving 22% tip because that's the type of service I remembered NF always provides. I will still be back, customer since 2021.

The team was super responsive over phone and Instagram. Martin was our bartended day-of, friendly and attentive, and Ellia closed us out smoothly, she was great! They handled our ~35-person group with ease, let us bring potluck dishes and NA drinks, use their fridge for cake/food, and even let us set up our personal cornhole outside. There was a BBQ pop-up out front in the afternoon, and the beer list had something for everyone - both the space and bathrooms were spotless. Family-friendly, flexible, and fun, exactly what you want for a casual celebration. Big thanks to the Strike team for making my day a great one!!

The staff on the line was very friendly and said to please go by. They had multiple options to choose from. Since they were so nice on the phone, I decided to give them a try. The inside looks like a warehouse it is very nicely decorated with lights on the ceilings and some games for entertainment. I had never been here before I just wanted to pick up some hazy can beers to go. I asked John for some samples of their hazy before I purchase.anything. John was very helpful by guiding me on what beer I should get. He was super friendly and attentive. After sampling a few beers, I decided to go with Poolside Hazy cans to go.
