7 Best Craft Breweries near Lodi

“Small brewery, family like atmosphere, great place to go relax and not too pretentious. The staff is friendly and very knowledgeable about all the beer and wine available. They offer great recommendations. This hidden gem is not going to stay quiet much longer!“

“Good food, good service, and picturesque patio where you can enjoy your brunch while watching people stroll by..what more can you want?“

“Been a while since I'd been in... But my Blue Burger and Blue fries were even better than I remembered. I'm not a big beer drinker, but the hard cider on tap was excellent...!! I got a growler to go.“

“A hidden gem in Lodi, Idol Beer Works offers the best pours in the area, focusing on small batch brews that deliver on huge flavors. After a glass of Extralicious, a hazy IPA, I often wonder if I'm drinking God's pondwater. After two, who cares? With many gluten free options, Idol offers a variety of beers beyond the normal local Nor Cal 'fifty IPAs' pours. Smutty Fraulein, a German lager, is a delicious cold brewed perfection. And don't miss out on their red, called Chasing Glory. A perfect fit for families or those with fur babies, Idol is what is best in Lodi -an unpretentious take on the things you've loved for years. But let's talk those IPAs... Idol is coming for you Russian River, Track 7, and Five Windows.“

“And Great staff. We enjoy hanging out there and also when we play there“

“River Rock is pretty easy to find with ample parking shared with other businesses in that lot. We were greeted nicely. My first impression was that it was a bit messy inside. Mix and matches of tables and chairs not in any order and refrigerators and assorted paraphernalia on the walls and against the walls...I get that things (furniture etc) cost a lot so not obsessed with the ambience as there looked to be plenty of seating for patrons. They had a pool table and foos ball table. All the beers we had were good and fairly priced. Bathrooms weren't highly clean. If we pass through town again, we'd probably stop for a quick cold one again. Looked like they sell beer making equipment too.“

“My mom and I just finished having a wonderful dinner with your establishment. We both had your crisp chicken sandwiches. The food, the drinks were all amazing but what made my meal outstanding…Andrew our waiter. He was a blessing tonight. He made sure we had everything we asked for and even things we didn’t ask him for, well-rounded waiter. Keep him for sure, we’ll be back. Thank you Andrew for your patience and service.“
