    a flight of beers on a wooden table
    Miguel S.

    First brewery that I've been to in Chico, great service and tasty beer. Would recommend anyone who likes beer to come have a seat and have a good time. A great hole in the wall! $7 4-5oz flight

    The Pilsner was excellent! Enjoyed the atmosphere and even met the owner. I will be back.

    Jim makes some pretty tasty brews. Can't wait to stop by again next time we're in Chico.

    Really liked the pale ale. Great new micro brewery for the Chico area. The owner made us glad we stopped by. Great things ahead.

    Amazing food, atmosphere and service. Monday nights with the love Irish music is a must. Amazing…read morepot pies and salads

    We decided to try this place based on the many wonderful reviews regarding the food and ambience…read more The outside patio looked very appealing with a huge shade tree and if it weren't chilly outside, it looked like a nice place for a meal and a beer. Not sure if it was on "off" day for the chef but the Shepherds pie had zero flavor as if no spices or salt was used. The celery and carrots were undercooked and crunchy. There was hardly any meat and veg compared to the amount of potatoes on top. Potatoes also had no flavor of salt or butter. So bland and blech! Aside from the taste of the terrible food, the prices were way too high for the amount of food..$26 for a very small shepherds pie. There is no wait staff. You place your order at the counter. Once we ordered and paid for two shepherds pies (with the tip upfront) we found a table and sat down. The cashier then came to tell us there was only one shepherds pie left (on a Saturday at 5:30 in the evening?) and we could order something else and since we had already paid, he would give us another drink or something to offset the difference. We then ordered The Rancher. This also had hardly any filling with a puff pastry on top. Again, way overpriced at $24. We didn't get another drink to make up for the price difference. On top of all this, the Saturday evening "entertainment" was a group of senior citizens singing songs from the 50's and 60's very LOUDLY. It was a strange choice for a weekend night at a bar. No offense to the singers but wow, it was awkward as you feel as if you have to give a bit of applause since they are literally right next to the table. We left after eating a small amount and went to find dinner somewhere else.

Instead of…read morefollowing the trends, they seem to have figured out the KISS (Keep it simple students) principle and to treat your customer well. Stopped by on way to Chico during a recent visit on a day they were closed. I placed an online order for pickup only to realize when I arrived that the brewery location is closed for much of the week. On me for the error. I've made that mistake previously and dealt with employees who just ignored me and those that chose to acknowledge me that I needed to come back when they were open. The staff here now only acknowledged me, they went the extra mile to alleviate the error. Service was beyond great and they made me feel valued. I visited the Chico taproom/restaurant location and the product matches the service level. I tried one of the infused (peach) beers and it was very well balanced and easy to drink on the hot day. Hard to brew a simple lager that does not have any "off tastes". They seemed to figured out how to do it. Breweries that are struggling can take note from Farmer's. Lots of great beers and instead of trying to become viral with some crazy Quadruple Hazy Hybrid Pastery Barrel Aged Sour concoction, treat your customer well and make a good clean beer and you'll be successful like I think Farmer's will be/continue to be. If you are in the area, worth the visit as you'll see what craft breweries used to be like before it became overly commercialized.

    I visited here on Sunday for dinner. That elk burger with the blackberry sauce sounds fantastic…read more Game meat can sometimes lean too earthy or dry, but the sweetness and acidity from blackberry is a good balance. Their beer lineup also gets a lot of love for approachable craft styles and local agricultural ingredients. Their west coast IPA Sun up til sun down was excellent.

Perfect ambiance, not overstimulating, and space is nice and airy. It's my own ritual; I always order beignets, and they are consistently good, light and fluffy. This time I ordered the open face toast with bacon (I'm totally butchering what it's actually called), but it was giving eggs benny, and it was so so delicious. Their hollandaise sauce tasted house made so I asked my server (Katie, amazing, 5 stars. Super personable and friendly) and sure enough I learned B Street is a scratch kitchen (absolutely everything is made in-house). IMPRESSIVE. The whole dish was very hearty, exactly what you'd need after a night out and it didn't sit heavy. Thank you B Street, I'll be back soon ;)
