Located in the back of the building where you park (free parking & big lot)! They have about one beer of every kind, so limited options but also not limited. :) They ran out of some of the canned beers I'd would've wanted to take home, but I guess that's just how good their beer is!

My friends and I stopped by East Brother Beer Company to watch a World Cup game and it's a great…read morespace. The brewery is dog friendly, there's a bunch of games -- including a pool table, Pop-A-Shot, and arcade games, and plenty of seating indoors and outdoors. The one con to the space however is that there's a bunch of mosquitos inside. In the span of ten minutes, my friend and I were both bitten four times. If you're sensitive to mosquito bites, you'll definitely want to wear long pants and/or a jacket to keep the mosquitos at Bay. The beers here are fine. There wasn't a single beer that was amazing enough where I'd go out of my way to get it again. Although there's a wide variety of beers, most of them are on the lighter side. In term of food options, there was a single food truck parked outside on the day that we stopped by. That said, they do allow outside food. Overall, East Brother Beer Company was fine, but not a standout brewery experience for me.

For your first time it is a bit intimidating as it feels like the middle of nowhere. This is the secret gem of the area and is right on the water. It's a great space inside and outside. Plenty of parking! Look for the red door closer toward the water. They have special events for their wine club members and it is so cute with snacks and all. The wine was so tasty with a wide variety! We had a birthday party there and it was so chill and fun. I can definitely see bringing some board games and playing while enjoying incredible wine . Huge tip, their homemade sangria is incredible and I highly recommend getting it! Go to this secret gem and explore their menu.

The pizza was surprisingly good. The kale pizza stood out with lots of garlicky pesto on top. The Fireball was spicier than expected -- the shishito peppers actually gave off quite a bit of heat. The dough is fluffy and the cheesy crust was excellent. Really liked trying Detroit-style pizza for the first time, and it paired well with the drinks. The space itself is very nice -- people come here to work, relax, or just grab a drink and a snack. It's family-friendly and they also have games, which made it fun to hang out and play a few rounds with friends after finishing our food and drinks.

Headlands Lafayette has become one of our favorite spots to enjoy a beer, or two. We really…read moreappreciate the low ABV beer choices that have flavor, especially the Pt. Bonita pilsner. Also, Cargo Shorts is an all-time fave when on the tap list. The food is awesome! The smashburger is a must! And how can you go wrong with loaded nachos or an all-beef hotdog? You can order both food and beverages from the QR code at the table, or order at the window. We prefer the QR code, and always have a nice chat with our servers. We appreciate that there doesn't seem to be much turnover on the service side which means the business side must be pretty good! There are several choices for seating. A lot of firepits to warm on a cool day, and umbrellas to keep you cool on a hot day. Wherever you choose to sit, the vibe is great, and they have live music on certain days!

I visited Match Point Brewing on July 25, the last Saturday the taproom will be open. I've had…read moreMatch Point's beers a handful of other times before out of cans, but this was my first time at the actual taproom. The taproom had a nice variety of Asian inspired beers on tap, including a masala chai amber lager and Vietmanese coffee lager. Compared to Dokkaebier, another brewery that specializes in Asian inspired beers, I find that the beers by Match Point are much bolder in their flavors. Simon -- the owner of the brewery, and the other staff member working that day were both very friendly and knowledgeable about all the beers. The space itself is perfect for large groups. It's a real shame the brewery will no longer be around. Albany is really losing out on an incredible business.

Match Point is such a brewery gem. Simon, one of the owners, was working when I came in with my pup…read moreand was such a pleasure to speak with. I had a great time sampling the Mandarin Ale, Jasmine Lager, Vietnamese Coffee lager, season Plum, Hojicha Cream Ale, and Masala Chai Ale. I loved how fragrant and refreshing the beers were. It's also nice that it is attached to 310 Eatery , which has a variety of American and Asian dishes to enjoy with the beers. My favorite beers were definitely the Jasmine lager, Vietnamese coffee lager and hojicha cream ale. Sad they'll be closing on July 26, but glad there beers will be available at select locations in the area.

I've had their beers a few times, ranging from lights to darks, from IPAs to ciders and I haven't been disappointed by any of them. They usually let you sample before committing and the staff are friendly about helping you make a choice the fits your want. I've mainly gone when my wife's organization, Vets in Vans, has hosted events there. Apparently the owners of Gilman Brewing are veterinarians/former veterinarians so they continue to support a lot of causes including animal welfare causes.

I ordered a Cesar salad. The Romain lettuce must have been cut several days prior to me getting their salad.--see photo-- the edges that had been cut or bent--was orange colored. I went to show their server/order taker. He asked what I would like? I told him Brussels sprouts. He gave me an order for "free", but they were so charred that they were inedible (for me). I didn't eat them. Next time I will only drink here.

I've been talking about Mare Island with my friends for a good week now because our recent…read moreexperience here was so incredibly fun! I love how the East Bay/Bay holds so many large and somewhat isolated islands/communities (Mare Island, Treasure Island, Alameda Island..). Each region holds so much history and also, really cool businesses like Mare Island Brewing Co. There was a super cool weekend community event here recently organized by the local Vallejo fire department with art/food/music and more, and it was such a cool vibe. There's so much space out there for the kiddos to ride their bikes/scooters safely, and so many cool activities like learning all about the maritime culture out there, singing shantey songs aboard the C.A. Thayer, fresh brews and yummy food, and if going on a specific weekend, maybe a cool event to pop into. We were surprised by how many people were out there at the brewery ~ it was such a beautiful day with great weather and great service/atmosphere. Seems like the Mare Island Brewing staff have nailed doing events here, and all the components for a fun time out, since it's a drive for anyone coming from different directions. All in all, such a great time out. Would love to come back and try a beer flight (beer is made on-site and is so fresh and crisp), house-made cocktail, or even the burger which looked delish. There is a parking lot adjacent to building.

I ordered a 64oz growler of their stout -- beer itself wasn't terrible, just a little on the light/watery side, but drinkable. Here's where it went sideways... AFTER I already paid and had it in hand, I'm told I'm not even allowed to drink the growler there. No heads up. No warning. Nothing. If that had been made clear upfront, I never would've ordered it in the first place. Pretty frustrating to find out after the fact. The view is honestly great -- probably the best part of the whole experience -- but it didn't make up for the lack of communication. Ended up walking down the pier and just drinking it out of the jug because at that point, what else was I supposed to do?

There's lots of tables available and they have a large screen that was playing the football game.
