Stopped by on a whim on an early Saturday afternoon. So glad I did!! The beer was excellent, food just as good, and great vibes. I wish they had table service, but the staff behind the counters were nonetheless super helpful and carried the food to our table (which was much appreciated since we had our kids). For beers, I ordered a taster flight of Tangerine Tornado (blonde ale), Northern Orbit (cold IPA), Coast (kolsch), blanc de blanc (bier de champagne). I especially loved the blanc and the northern orbit. I've never had a cold IPA before and it was so good! The food was outstanding as well. My kids ate almost all their food which is rare, but a testament to how good the food was. I will for sure be back next time I am in the area. read more

Stopped by to pick up some cans of Evil Cousin. Could not find it in the cooler. Asked at the counter, the young gal looked at me like I was from outer space. Had no idea what I was talking about. Really? I have been buying it for over ten years. Come to find out, Heretic is GONE! )-: )-: )-: Looked at the food menu, everything we use to order is also GONE. )-: )-: )-: So we left empty handed )-: )-: )-: So sad, this place use to be great! read more

Loved my buffalo chicken wrap ("Wrapped & Rollin" on the menu). I wasn't expecting good food from a brewery but wow I really liked this wrap and the tots ($15). The lettuce was crisp and the chicken and cheese were perfect. The tots were very crispy. They were a tad over salted but I didn't mind. The service is GREAT! There were two very nice ladies working the bar/waitressing and they were both super sweet and friendly. It was my first time at this brewery and I felt very invited. There's lots of tables available and they have a large screen that was playing the football game. read more

I enjoyed my time here. They have beer on tap, a few ciders on tap, a cocktail menu and food. Great space for family and friends. Food is good. I especially liked the crispy tots and the pizza is a nice proportion. Everyone is friendly and seem to be working through some things, but I think that will get fixed over time. Will definitely come back here again. read more

Delicious beer, food, and good vibes! I got the rouge de noir which is a champagne beer, and I've never had anything like it. Super refreshing and slightly fruity! My mom enjoyed the raspberry lemon seltzer and my dad the IPA. Also got an order of the pretzel sticks which were perfectly salty, and the beer cheese that came with it was top notch. Worth checking this place out if you're in the area! read more

In a free market economy, freedom also means the freedom to fail. This brewpub needs to fail, and soon. Back when it was actually owned by the original Heretics, Its was fantastic. Now, a waste of time on a nice afternoon. A vey rude bartender who immediately copped an attitude. a very poor and limited menu, complete reliance on signing in to an app to order. Sorry, we walked out, never to return. Really sad, because again, the original Heretics Brewing made some great beers. ( none of their original recipes are available). And the brewpub was a fun happening place. Now, dont bother. Hasten their demise, and hope the folks that work there get jobs where they don't ever have to deal with the public again. read more

I've been coming here for years but since the acquisition by Calicraft it progressively got worse. The drink menu has been almost entirely changed apart from just a couple of exceptions. Very disappointed honestly. Menu for food has changed quite a bit too. Service has always been good. And the ambiance of the place feels hollow like an empty shell of what it was. It's cool the community is the same but the place itself feels so empty. Food is good still but the fact it's a brewery and distillery and no longer makes their IPAs and Spirits, I don't really have any business going there anymore. I feel sorry for anyone who never got a chance to experience Heretic during its best days. read more

What's up: We just finished checking out the wineries and wanted to hit up a nearby brewery, just to mix things up. After a quick search, we decided to check this place out. Parking: Parking lot as well as street parking. Environment: Place your order at the bar and then grab a table. You can also order food here since they have a kitchen. Restrooms are located towards the back on the left of the building; clearly labeled. The place was busy and loud with music playing in the background. The string lights gave it a nice vibe. What was ordered: - Whiskey Lemonade (pretty good) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. This was a nice break from the wines. Credit cards are accepted. read more

We have been long time fans of this brewery and have so many good memories here, so we were recently hoping things would stay the same after the change in ownership. Unfortunately, a lot of our favorite menu items are done - which was a big disappointment. We still gave it a try, but the pizza we ordered was just okay - nothing special. The beer menu is still relatively the same (which we appreciate!) but without the food options we loved, Heretic just doesn't feel the same. We really miss the old Heretic and the great food that made it one of our go to spots. read more

My co-workers and I came here to celebrate the last day of work for a co-worker. They have a great selection of beers and hard ciders along with a menu of delicious food. I had the Wicked Burger which wasn't very spicy, but had a good blend of flavors which I found to be delicious. There are plenty of indoor seating, but the place does get pretty busy if you come around dinner time. The first employees are all very nice and helpful. You can ask for a sample tasting of different beers and ciders before deciding which one to order. Overall, a great place to come for dinner and/or a drink with the family, friends and co-workers. read more

After coming here a number of times, I can finally write a review! Heretic Brewery and Distillery is a great spot for a great time with friends, loved ones, and even by yourself. Their space is huge. They have a bar and they have outdoor seating. Parking can be tight though. What I like about Heretic is the variety of alcohol they offer. There's something for everyone here. They also serve food which is 10/10 for me, because some Breweries offer small bites aka chips or pretzels or something. Nope! Heretic has tacos, burgers, other fulfilling eats as you sip of your drink. As of this review, I believe their food menu has changed so I will have to update this review once I try out their new food menu. But for now, for my lasts visits, my go-to food order is always any of their burgers with tater tots! The burgers are tender and juicy! I also like their fried artichoke bites! Service is quick and staff is friendly. Anywho, if you're looking for a spot for some brew and eats, check out Heretic! read more

I've heard so many good things about this spot and I finally got to try it myself. The whole vibe and ambiance of the place gives a laid back hangout spot where you can go after work or hangout with some friends. It was filled with a good amount of people but I remember my dad telling me it's usually more packed than it was! It was also Tuesday trivia night but we missed the time cut. We ordered the fried pickles and potatoes, knucklehead pizza, and one beer (my dad's). The fried pickles and potatoes were such a hit and came with their super good sauce that I had to get an extra dip! The pizza came shortly after the app and did not disappoint. It had the perfect thin crust and had the perfect amount of each ingredient that didn't overpower each other. My dad and I finished the whole pizza just us two LOL. I can't wait to come back here with friends and family, especially when there's an event or game going on! Everyone that was working there was so nice and helpful, giving a family type of vibe! read more

Came here on Saturday night. It was pretty packed, but we were able to conceited for a party at 15 and we didn't try the food but some of our friends did and said it was really good. The drinks also were very good. Some outdoor seating good for big groups. read more

Service is great! Love that they have a cocktail & cider menu for us non beer drinkers. Place is very laid back and great place to just go hang out with friends and family. Food has always been very tasty and comes out quickly. We have tried the garlic fries, burger and wings. All very tasty and seasoned well. The hubby and I usually share and it is more than enough for us. Prices are reasonable. Will be back soon read more

First time coming since new ownership. Seemed like nothing decor-wise had changed. Food came out very quick and staff was helpful. We were really missing the nachos. Had to try the pizza since that is their new focus. It was pretty good - nice char on the underside, chewy crust. The Outside Voice was a little heavy/rich, probably won't get that again but my kid got the kids cheese and that was very good. Kids pizza was almost as large as our pizza. Pricier kids menu but it's a place where everyone can find something they like. Had a few beers with the pizza. read more

came here looking for trivia (my friend and i found a really old poster), and was a bit disappointed with them not having it. the cashier was a good sport and tried to name other places they knew had trivia though so bonus points! we decided to get beers anyways and i got the return of the mac. it was a pretty good hoppy IPA! i was also able to try a few before committing to my one beer so that was nice! i did notice there were a lot of kids in the space but didn't see anything for the kids to do-- and so a lot of them were iPad kids. i'm not sure of the general population of fairfield brewery-goers are but some child friendly space or activities would be nice if offered! additionally, a screw came off on one of the pizza trays or table or chair or something which my friend and i noticed on the floor (which might be a safety hazard). overall i do like how open this brewery is and looking at the giant brewers tanks. :) read more

I camebbto Heretic Brewery on Christmas Eve for lunch. I planned to enjoy some pizza and beer. I didn't review the menu in advance, or I would have realized pizza is not served by the slice. I can only buy a whole pie. I ended up ordering dirty fries and 16 ounces of the evil twin IPA. Dirty fries: looks good, taste was very underwhelming. The cheese sauce on the fries wasn't even hot and did not melt in too for the french fries. It was a big flop of cheese that did not mix well. I picked the extra off and ate. The cheese reminds me of cheese sauce that comes in a box of Velveeta macaroni and cheese. The fries were warm and crispy. Honestly, I would definitely not order again. Evil twin IPA (16 ounces) a dark colored IPA. I liked it a lot! I'm typically not a dark IPA kind of woman. It had a mellow taste to it. I definitely would order again. It was a nice balance to the dirty fries. Chocolate hazelnut porter (13 ounces): a nice dessert beer. It's surprisingly light tasting for a dark beer. I don't recall tasting hazelnut. It definitely had a nice amount of chocolate flavor. I really liked the glass it was served in! Staff: the staff were friendly. I was there for over ran hour and the server only came by twice. They had a basketball game playing on the wall over the main entrance via a projection. There's both indoor and outdoor (patio) seating. The parking lot is very tight and small; can be a challenge when it's busy here (Surprisingly, it was not busy today and I was able to find a spot!) My experience was overall pleasant. I would visit Heretic Brewery again at some point. read more

A bit disappointed to hear that Heretic got bought out. They got rid of their bang bang shrimp tacos and a good portion of their menu. They are now serving pizza/flatbread. They have a few of their burgers left but quality is not the same as it was before. I'm not sure if they will be changing their drinks but the waitress said the food menu was the first thing the new owners wanted to change read more

Heretic Brewery and Distillery - Bang Bang Tacos - Burgers Near Me - Fairfield, California

Huge indoor and some outdoor seating brewery in Fairfield very close to Travis AFB. Met up with some friends for happy hour after work on a weekday. I'm not sure if they have a happy hour menu but they have a large projector, and TVs at the bar if you're trying to watch sports. They also have hard alcohol and cocktails in addition to their local beers and they have canned drinks and cocktails too. Really good drafts and ciders. Their kitchen also really has good food too. I think during the pandemic they went under new ownership so the kitchen changed a bit, in the past they had tacos but now they have amazing pizzas and burgers. We got crispy wings, pickles and potatoes, dirty fries with bacon on the side, and a margherita pizza. We had a couple rounds of drinks. There's plenty of parking around the facility. read more

On Monday June 30th, we stumble on finding ourselves at Heretic Brewery. We wanted to go somewhere different for a quick meal. Neither one of us drink beer, so we had water with our dinner. I ordered BBQ Hamburger w/fries, and my spouse had a Cheese Burger. While we were waiting for our burgers, we noticed everyone including their children were playing Bingo. We felt that was pretty cool, and it's a normal weekly activity every Monday. The Burgers arrived within minutes from being ordered. They were very good, and French Fries weren't like MacDonalds, but they were also tasty. Overall we are given the burgers a solid (4) Star Rating. read more

This was our first visit here and we loved it!! Came in on a Tuesday around 5:30pm. This brewery/distillery/taproom is in an industrial area of Fairfield. The restaurant was not busy and we were able to find a table with ease. You order at the bar (food and drink) and they give you a number and bring your food to you. Our server was really nice and helped us to decide on our pizza. It had tater tots bacon and Smokey creama. It was really delicious-light crispy crust. We also ordered a small grilled chicken salad-crisp lettuce radishes tomatoes and other things and delicious dressing!! They also have a beer sampler with four three ounce pours. This place has a real industrial feeling and was fresh and clean. read more

I've been here before the recent changes in ownership and menu,and it was good. I've only recently returned. Wow! I actually like it even better. The pizza is legit. Really good crust for pizza obsessos. I also like the expanded beer selection. They had a really smooth stout and a very well balanced IPA called Hipster Hotel. They also have Cool Kids in cans for to go purchases. Staff was very friendly and beer line went quickly. Will be back! read more

This is the best spot in Fairfield to have a beer and some killer food. Their menu has been updated to include the best pizza I've had anywhere outside of New York. If you haven't tried it yet, don't talk to me. Veronica is a total bad ass but cute and charming at the same time. The beer is great, they have spirits and cocktails as well. I can't wait to try more of their food options. Pro tip: their ranch is house made and awesome!! read more

Decided to come here with a few friends. It's a brewery that serves cocktails, and food as well. The place has lots of seating and outside seating as well for the summer months. I order a mule which was very good and a chicken sandwich with tots. The chicken sandwich was delicious. Few things to know they don't take your order at the table. You have to stand in a line and they bring your order to you. Tables are first come first serve. They also have bingo on Monday which is a fun time. Bingo starts at 6:30. They do have trivia as well but I have never been to that. The only down fall in my opinion is every-time you want to order something you gotta go stand inline and you have to get your own container to box your food if you have any left. I also felt that I was busing my own table as well. So if you're in the area come check this place out. read more

Take a short detour off HWY 80 and you'll find Heretic Brewery and Distillery. You find a great selection of beers and cocktails. I've been there a couple of times and always had a great time and great service. It gets pretty busy but they have plenty of seats and an outdoor patio right in front. The Tangerine Tornado goes great with the Chicken Nachos! They seem to have a lot of regulars but a very welcoming, chill vibe. I'll definitely be back to try some of their cocktails and other food. read more

We planned a weekend get-away just around visiting this brewery. Got an Airbnb nearby and came out just after opening on a Saturday. We stayed for over 4 hours. We have been Heretic fans for years but haven't been to the brewery. We started with shared apps, shishito peppers, hummus plate and pickles and tots. All three were delicious and ended up satiating us for most of our visit. The guys enjoyed their variety of beers and us ladies enjoyed our seltzers and cocktails, they even whipped us up a custom cocktail that was delicious, details of which are a little hazy... We did end up needing a little more food, so we ordered the fried chicken sandwich cut in quarters. OMG we regretted not ordering two and splitting them, it was delicious!!!! We ordered all our food and drinks, besides the custom ones, on the app. It was very convenient and actually helpful for tracking which beers the guys had tried as the day went on. Staff was really great and hospitable. All food and drinks were delivered promptly. They did a fantastic job, and we felt very well taken care of. We even considered going back the next day but alas, had to get on the road back home to Santa Rosa. Can't wait to stop in again when in town. read more

New ownership comes with new food! Must try is their Neopolitana Pizzas! I especially enjoyed their pizza with Tater Tots and the one with pepperoni/sausage. Also their shoshido peppers were super good. Their food is now as good as their beer. Well done! read more

Disappointed,..... Where to begin?! My fiancé & I have been coming here for the last 2-3 years, and it has been absolutely amazing every single time. We drive over an hour & a half to just eat the BEST SHRIMP TACOS in this entire WORLD. As I am still sitting outside this new managed establishment, it comes with a heavy heart to say we will no longer be returning. We had no idea Heretic Brewing was bought out by Calicraft 4 months ago. From the moment we stepped in, we realized that it was different. And sure enough, once we picked up the new menus, we realized that those food menu was completely changed. No more shrimp tacos, wings, churros, birria tacos, nothing. We were incredibly disappointed to know nothing from what the original menu offered was no longer available. They now have pizzas, (just like every other brewery), and non-crafted cocktails. Such cocktails that they do offer come from draft, which I ordered the blue Hawaiian, as it was typically what I had ordered in the past. To say that this Blue Hawaiian was good is a OVERSTATEMENT. It is no longer the same as it used to be. Plus, the beer has a different flavor, (as my fiance ordered the 'make America juicy again'). YUPPPPP!!! That the name they have for this 'great' beer. Additionally, I tried ordering their grilled chicken sandwich which the young woman that took my order, said they no longer have grilled chicken available. (Keep in mind we arrived around 1:15PM & they open at 11:30AM.) So I instead had to order the fried chicken sandwich, with the side of tater tots. Such fried chicken sandwich came with a purple,soggy bun and salty, mushy tater tots; (as the side of cabbage they offer is thrown on the side.) My fiance ordered some type of burger that was all right, but nothing special. Overall, my fiance and I agreed that we were no longer be returning to what used to be in astonishing establishment. The food is no longer worth the drive. Additionally, the ambience of the establishment changed to a more, 'kid-friendly', which to be completely honest, a brewery and distillery is no place for children, or minors under the age of 18, (IN MY OPINION). With all of this being taken into account, we hope we get to hear from the previous chefs and/or owners of the original Heretic Brewery, so we can follow along and continue to support their ventures. RIP the original Heretic Brewery. read more

Love stopping at this brewery between Sacramento and San Francisco. Great beer, great food, great service.

Seriously a serious Brewery. If you're a serious ;p microbrew connoisseur. Then Heretic is an awesome Brewery ya should try . And if you like strong robust beers, they brew great ipa's. The atmosphere is open and cool. Bartender is friendly and super knowledgeable. Well the one that I had was. In short, it's well worth giving this place a visit. read more

Highly recommended by Yelpers so we had to hit this joint en route to Sacramento. Opted for the western burger... thick patty with melted cheese, bacon, crispy onions, OLT, and bbq sauce... nicely cooked juicy burger on a dense bun. Up charge for the garlic fries, but cheesy garlic goodness was an easy sell for me. A dozen brews on draft, and many cocktails offered for the non beer folk... Ambiance is industrial brew hall, service was at the counter, and prices were in line with the area. read more

We were passing though the area with our dog and decided to give Heretic Brewing Company a try. The dining area with nice and roomy with lots of tables. They also had Wifi which required a password. I was able to order food at the counter and they gave me a # to place on the table. They also had water dispensers out which was great for me and my doggy. We had the Artichoke fritters. I would rate them a 7/10 they were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Just needed a bit for seasoning on them. The dipping sauce was great. The Left Coast Cheesesteak was my favorite. a 10/10. One of the best cheesesteaks I've ever had. Just the right amount of cheese and meat and peppers. It was delicious. The garlic fries could use a bit for garlic and seasoning. The Lonnie burger i would rate it a 8/10. It was very good. It had thick bacon and a juicy patty. The fries were alright. This place is a great option when you need a place to eat and you can take your doggy with you. read more

Stopped in since we were in the area and hadn't been there in a while. They were quite busy and the parking lot was quite full. We had the dog with us and when we walked in it was hard to find a table but found one in the back. It was quite noisy as there were many large groups with kids and the bar was full. Took some time to order our beers and food. While I was at the bar our food came out and the staff brought our pup a few pieces of bacon just for him. He loved it. The beers and food are always good and they also have spirits so if you don't want beer there are some other options. read more

When on vacation, I always try to go to a few breweries bc I know the hubby likes it, and I am a big fan myself. Heretic was one of my top three breweries I've ever been to, and prob the best in the Bay Area/CA, but I have to say on my recent visit, I learned of some sad news. Heretic has joined the CaliCraft family, which explains why 7 out of 9 of the tasters I got were not very good. And the only two I really liked were actually Heretic favs. I will say the food is better and portions huge, but am really here for the beer. Maybe it was just a bad day. But if it wasn't, I likely won't be returning anytime soon. Also, service was ok; the beertender could've been nicer and smile. read more

Another road trip great just a couple of miles off of Interstate 80 in Fairfield. Nestled cozily into a business park, Heretic is unassuming from the outside, but when you enter, it's all WOW! Kitchen to the left, nice sized bathrooms, ample seating and a projected TV as well as TVs at the bar for games. You order at the register and then take a seat with a number. The menu has lots to offer for drinks and food - lots of great beer and booze you can buy off the shelf. Love that the spirits have a regular and then smaller size if you want to just sample a few types of liquors which range all over the map with straight vodka, whisky and london dry gin, to flavored fare. They also have moonshine in a variety of flavors, also regular and smaller sized. The menu has a lot of choices from small bites (aka. "Supplies"), burgers, salads and pizza, and a great kids menu with 5 choices to choose from for your pickier eaters (burgers, chicken strips, pizzas). We got the Cali Cheeseburger w/ American cheese, caramelized onions, & magic sauce w/ fries and I will say it's one of the best burgers I've ever had - nice soft crunch on the burger edge, perfect size. The fries were crunchy outside and soft inside - perfect! It's not on their online menu, but they also do whisky flights! We walked out with a box of goodies, and part of Xmas shopping DONE! News from the super nice gal who helped us - they were bought by Calicraft in August and now are entering into a partnership that she said is a great move for all. Very few changes with only some minor simplification on the distillery side, but the beer will stay great as always and keep on flowing. Highly recommend you make an effort to stop by when you're in the area. read more
