My friend was an actor in a play here, yes a play, I bought tickets, I watched while I had drinks. It was experimental and the sound was in and out during the play... but overall it was so much fun. Outdoors offer heaters... neighborhood parking if overflow but it's in a safe neighborhood. Food from food truck. It's really nice. Good beer. Staff is friendly and offer good time vibes. I recommend.

Great selection! Food came out quickly, I highly recommend the burger, it hit the spot! The onion ring stack was awesome and very crispy! The meat was very juicy and tasty, not a fan of the bbq sauce in it. However, the place was really chill and laidback. The people were great, easy going, and made recommendations. Overall a good experience :)

21st Amendment was such a cool brewery to stop and see. I was able to grab a bite to eat as well as a drink. My pulled pork sandwich and Loaded Tots were really good. They have so much space and everything is well set up. The brewtender was super sweet and extremely helpful when it came to ordering food and picking out a beer. My only upset was they did not have any sours on tap or seltzers but lots of IPA's if that is what you like.

Good brewery for IPA lovers. I personally don't enjoy hoppy beers, but 21st Amendment is an IPA-lovers dream, with the majority of their brews being IPAs. Met a friend here on a Sunday afternoon and they had live music and a record-swap event in addition to the beers and food truck. The food we ordered were all pub-favorites: fried cheese curds, loaded tater tots and a pulled pork sandwich with fries. It's been a minute since I've eaten so many fried foods with beer, and I definitely felt it later! The beers were ok (if not my preference). I did enjoy their seasonal pumpkin beer and porter, and would definitely order those again.

Such a cool place! It's tucked away in a business park and if you didn't know it was there you would never see it. They have a great selection of craft beers and will let you sample any and all until you find your favorite. They have a little food truck that serves small bar food items, nothing special. The employees are super friendly and helpful with helping you select a beer. They have a bathroom trailer set up which is clean but with such a big space, they should have an indoor bathroom. Had a great time though

First time visiting their main brewery! I visited another branch in SF, and during that time they didn't have their signature Hell or High Watermelon beer. So this time I finally got to try it! Here's a breakdown of my delightful experience: Hell or High Watermelon Wheat: This American wheat beer, infused with real watermelon, surprised me with its crisp, dry, and refreshing flavor. Perfect for warm days! Brew Free! or Die Blood Orange IPA: A twist on their classic IPA, this version features abundant blood orange puree and citrusy hops. Refreshingly different! Peanut Butter Porter: With its rich coffee fragrance and smooth peanut butter notes, this porter is a true treat for the senses. Brew Free! or Die IPA: The reimagined year-round IPA combines golden malts with dynamic hop aromas. A classic with a twist!

I came here before a Giants game, which seems to be the tradition now! We were seated quickly and ordered some of our usual delights, including, for me, the cheese curds and the sishito peppers. The food took a while to get to the table, as it was a busy place at that time. Yet, the benefit was that the food was hot and fresh. The peppers were just out of the cooker, so to speak, and the cheese curds were also the hottest I remember. Very nice. The peppers were a good size, very large compared to what I have found elsewhere. The cheese curds were not so large, and it seems the serving size gets smaller each time we visit, every year or so. Check out my past reviews for comparison photos. Still, they were tasty. The service was spot on, friendly, courteous and professional . . . Overall, still a good meal for the price, ambiance, and food quality. Can't wait 'til the next game day!

Another brewery that I should already have a review for... Quality/Quantity - HH Tater Tots - Okay, fried well, fresh, but very plain. The sauce and ketchup helps. Also, it was not of very generous quantity, but again, we paid HH prices. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the menu, as we only came for Happy Hour. Raspberry Funk Sour 4 oz - My daughter's beer, and the only sour available today. She rated it 4 stars. Skill Shot Pale Ale Pint - Good, better than the usual pale ale, but not outstanding. Brew Free or Die IPA - A staple; I get this at local supermarkets and even at Costco. Atmosphere - Plenty of indoor, outdoor seating. Indoor seating: counter, table, lounge, etc. Outdoor: picnic, counter, etc. Limited shaded parking. See pictures. "Outhouses" trailer bathrooms, see pictures. If you do not need to use it, I suggest skipping. Plenty of parking, well for a Wednesday HH. In the past, we used to come on weekends, and it was crazy busy. Service - Good. Counter service. Price - $4-5 a beer, $3.50 for the 4 oz "sample" sour; HH Tots cost $6 + generous tip. $21 + generous tip for this visit today. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2000 and with your two locations. Triple Rock Brewery has created so many owners of other breweries! Congrats on your success at this location since 2015, we have been customers from day 1. This place was hopping, pun intended, when you opened. The best part was that I discovered you by accident, just by driving by!
