    Pretzel
    Sierra D.

    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!

    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.

    Food Menu (8/6/2026)

    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.

    Knucklehead pizza
    Bella C.

    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!

    Wings and burger
    Kary A.

    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

    Great beer, great selection, plenty of seating. Parking was surprisingly limited but we found a spot. Pizza was good too but nothing amazing. Did the job though. I would definitely come back. Had a great time here. Service was excellent!

    Outside Voice
    Anna T.

    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.

    beers! right: return of the mac
    Vivian L.

    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. :)

    Chocolate hazelnut porter. So good!!
    Alison G.

    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.

    Bang Bang Tacos
    Serenity L.

    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

    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.

    Cheese Burger
    Chris H.

    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.

    Spirit display....did you know they had distilled spirits?

The bracelet limits each person to a max 3 pours of the Younger, and 3 bottle purchase. Got seated about 10:40 , but the wait flew by helped by the almost festival atmosphere amongst those in line(bonded and chatted with 3 guys next to us who had flown up from LA area just for this) 1st, every employee I encountered was friendly and service was top notch. Started with a taster of Russian River 110 and Tempo Change, both were nice, light, but not the reason I came 2+ hours on drive + another 2 in line. The Pliney Younger was as advertised, tasting and drinking lighter than its Triple IPA packing power . Orders some Riccotta donut holes to help ease the consumption of the 3 IPA's and they were fantastic, dense dobut, not overly sweet so the chocolate dipping sauce was a nice touch. Ordered 3 bottles of Younger to go, and am already planning next years trip.

Unfortunately, this visit was a bit hit-or-miss with the food. The artichoke dip was great, and I enjoyed my Southwest salad. But the bone-in rib appetizer was dry, and the fish tacos at our table came out cold. By the time our server checked back in, we were already halfway through eating, so we didn't ask for a remake of the tacos. To their credit, the tacos were taken off the bill, which was only fair, because they were not eaten.
