Fieldwork Brewing Company - Berkeley

You ever find a brewery that treats you like home? But with great IPAs and other beers? This spot not only has the local flair but the service and hospitality to go along with the beer. As an unfiltered IPA guy, the Pulp is the go to. Kieran, the legend behind the counter, also ensures a smooth and enjoyable experience. He even went above and beyond regarding a memorabilia snafu. Second time visiting, years apart, and yet it felt like I never left. 🍻 10/10 🍻

*12/1/2023 We tried the Detroit-Style Pizza called "Delivery Boy" at Fieldwork Brewery. It features a tantalizing combination of tomato sauce, pepperoni, castelvetrano olives, jalapeño, and onions. The selection of beers available was impressive, and each one was delightful in its own way. However, there's a minor drawback – the Detroit-Style Pizza at this location didn't quite measure up to the one at their San Leandro branch. The pizza lacked the desired crispiness and cheesy goodness we've come to expect from their other stores. 11/7/2023 My top choice for craft beer. I had a flight of lager, sour, IPA, stout, and pilsner, each impressively flavorful. When I ordered a pilsner, they gave me a "hike hills" willi becher glass for free! The welcoming atmosphere and knowledgeable staff make it a must-visit. 9/25/2023 My favorite brewery in the East Bay! I consistently opt for their IPAs and stouts, and they never fail to satisfy. The array of craft beers they provide is impressive, and the welcoming staff enhances the overall enjoyment of the experience!

I absolutely love Fieldwork beer. I have been drinking it for years. However, up until today, I had only visited the Napa location. I absolutely loved when they were located in the Oxbow Market (now next door) because of all the foot traffic. Was a great place to people watch. Their new location in Napa is not very exciting, but the beer never disappoints. Now... back to the Berkeley location. The location is horrible. Very ghetto. Parking is next to impossible, and even when I found a place a few blocks away, it did not feel safe. The service was fine, but there just wasn't any kind of ambiance. The place felt very run down. They did have a small menu, which was nice. I had the Jefe sandwich for $13. It was basically a pork panini, but it was not too bad. Im guessing about $1.50-$2.00 in food cost to make, so I think $10-11 would be a more reasonable offering. I look forward to visiting the other Fieldwork locations but have no desire to return to Berkeley.

Pretty big Brewery with plenty of seating. We had some issues finding parking but ended up parking by the skate park down the street. They have menus and flight cards when entering the building and we ordered up front. If you order food, they give you a number to take with you to bring the food to you. We did a flight of 6 which were pretty big pours and ordered the Banh Works and the Take Five sandwiches. For our flight: Solace & Virtue Melody & Silence Sixth & Canal Brick & Timber Rainbow Parfait Hannah I loved all of the beers. All the light beers were easy to drink and had great flavors. I was very pleasantly surprises with the Rainbow Parfait as it was not too tart and had a slight sweetness to it. The sandwiches were good as well, they were kind of like a panini. Definitely recommend! The staff of really friendly too and it seems like they are also dog friendly.

Overall: B Layout & decor: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cleanliness: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Customer service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Timeliness: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review: a pretty decent brewery in Berkeley. Didn’t have their food so no comments there. Relaxed atmosphere & service was fast! Only criticism is that they did not serve my Hefeweizen in the proper glassware. But they do have doggo treats & outdoor seating so take that FWIW
