Our family was camping nearby and we spent the morning hiking around Point Lobos. We stopped in The Cheese Shop in downtown Carmel, so I felt like I needed something to complement that back at camp. I was surprised to see that the shop was nearly empty, but it gave me a good opportunity to talk with the owner and brewmaster. I tried his Hazy IPA and Juicy IPA and ended up grabbing a can of the juicy to go. I would have spent more time hanging out, as it seems like a great little spot, but had to get back to the family. I'd go back in a heartbeat! We're back up in the area later this year, so hopefully we can make that happen.

Local brewing owned by brothers with a variety of tasty brews. Staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. You can also get growlers filled here.

Super cool local brewery. We discovered this place a few weeks ago because we had dinner plans nearby. The owner, Joseph, was super nice and took great care of us. They have a variety of beers and we tried a flight! This is a nice place to go if you want to have some beer without the crowds!

We love this hidden gem! The beer/cider is great and the service is even better! Joseph and Jeff are very knowledgeable and friendly! Always a pleasure getting a beer and seeing familiar faces! They have a wide variety on tap sure to please everyone's taste. The board games and pinball machines are the prefect addition to entertain the whole family! The ambiance is clean and welcoming. We can't wait to return!

As Carmel's only brewery, Hidden Hills is worth the visit. Please don't confuse it with Post No Bils, a more visible taphouse that, while nice, doesn't produce its own beers. If you see the taphouse, keep walking to find Hidden Hills.Every beer I've tasted at Hidden Hills I've enjoyed. The space is great, and the specialty beers these two brothers produce excellent.They recently brewed what they called Ubechata, a singularly unique Ube flavored beer that any Ube lover should try. The nitro pour creates a creamy feel that approximates a bite of Ube ice cream. Unexpected, and delicious.Every visit, I've left with more knowledge about the brewing process as well as about the different beer ingredients and ratios thereof that give various beers their character.Highly recommended.

Good brewery. Nicely decorated. Fast and super friendly service. 4 oz pours individually priced so you can build your own flight with as many beers as you want. Water station. Clean.

Great little brewery. Comfortable taproom with a light and airy vibe. Delicious beer and very friendly and welcoming staff. Bonus points for being dog friendly. Cheers Hidden Hills

We stopped in for beer to pass the time while waiting for a table at From Scratch. What I loved.. 1. Great selection of beers at decent prices 2. Plentiful seating and a chic interior design 3. Said decent priced beer was tasty and delicious. Samples were $4 each. 4. Friendly service and great beer recommendations (I enjoyed them all) 5. Patio seating and dog friendly inside and out! Overall a fantastic place to hang out. They have games and TV's to watch sports. Although there's no food, it is located in close proximity to plenty of restaurants. I'm not sure why but it was completely dead on a Sunday afternoon, with only us and one other dog owner as patrons. Maybe it's slow because of the weather but there's never a better time for beer so come check out Hidden Hills!

Second time back here and both times have been great. The vibe is chill, the team is super welcoming, and the beer is fantastic.
Wonderful cozy little brewery, great place to catch a football or basketball game

Found this hidden gym (get it- hidden ) today. No trip anywhere is complete without at least one brewery stop... it's always a gamble trying somewhere new but this place did not disappoint! Cute little cozy place... was greeted right away by the beer-tender (his brother is the brewer). I ordered a sampler with 3 sours and the stout on nitro. I also sampled a few others before settling on a glass of the Love for Lahaina. This place has a beer variety for everyone (light to dark to sours) plus a cider and a variety of non-alcoholic options. Late Night Munchies Stout- not normally a Nitro fan but this had really good flavor! Not too sweet. Coffee and chocolate notes. Peaches & Cream Sour- Good sour but could use a bit more of the peach flavor for my liking. Love for Lahaina (POG Sour) - LOVE the Love! Not just for my fond memories growing up of my many trips to Maui and Lahaina but I also LOVE P.O.G. And this sour hits the spot! *they partnered with a local non-profit in Lahaina for a fundraiser so you know the $ is going to the people who really need it. Mango Lattice Sour - my least favorite of the 3 sours, but you might like it Small Town Brown- a good brown, easy drinker Frost Bite (cold IPA) - IPA brewed with lager yeast and lager style... aromatics are hoppy and taste is hoppy but light like a lager, very easy to drink! Also very intriguing, not sure how to describe it lol It's just good so drink it.

If you're in Carmel then Hidden Hills Brewing & Blending is a must stop. Owners are super nice and beer is really good. There are games for the kids and the ambiance is nice.
