Description
We are Giovanni and Robert — longtime home brewers who made their fizzy dream of opening a brewery become a bubbly reality.
Our establishment is a place that pushes the limits with flavors that are both familiar, yet stretch the boundaries of what a beer can truly be.
Tantalize your taste buds from a selection of stellar staple beers, such as lagers, pilsners, pale ales, IPAs (double and triple IPAs, too!), stouts and sours, with twists as far-reaching as a pickle sour, smoked honey ham scotch blonde, bleu cheese and olive martini lager, and habanero basil pale ale.
Set in historic Downtown Gilroy on Monterey Street, our vision includes helping revive the city, give back to the community, and regrow the struggling economy.
There isn’t an ingredient we’ll avoid in our quest to make some of the best beer out there. We take classic brew styles, flip them on their heads, and mix up recipes with out-of-the-box methods in an effort to make you thirsty for more.
How could it be bad?
