Went on trivia night and this place was a blast. Great atmosphere, music and drink selection. An overall epic time!!!

Epidemic Ales is my new favorite place to meet up with friends. We go every Saturday night for either Karaoke or Comedy Night (every 3rd Saturday), grab a beer and catch up. It's fun, the beertenders are friendly and always recommend delicious drinks, the crowd is always respectful. There's always a different food truck parked outside, and everything I've had has been delicious. Tucked away in the Industrial area of Concord, Epidemic isn't in a spot you'd expect a brewery, it's more of a friendly warehouse with tables and colored lights. But that's what I like. No dress code, casual, comfortable, just fun with friends. You can even bring your well-behaved dog with you, lots of people bring their kids, too. I always get something different when I go, but everything I've tried has been delicious. I really like the limelight lager if you want something a bit lighter in flavor, but the hazy IPAs are great, too. They also have great merch, special merch for some holidays or different days of the year, too.

Been here a few times. The ambiance is great with the pool table, games and tvs to watch sports. The staff is nice and friendly. I like the selection of different beers they have. This time I had the Horchata lager which went well my tacos from OG Tacos. Definitely recommend this place!

There food truck selection is great. There mug club deal is great. But there management is garbage. Most of there employees are sensitive and should not be in a environment as this. I was a regular and all the other customers, regulard loved me but the staff there is very pc and sensitive so I was kicked out for some lame shit! This isn't a 5 star walnut creek high end place. Grow up! I never caused a problem there . Just sober up tight employees. Don't go there. Especially if you leave a tab open because they can't add and you will be overcharged. Bottom line go to calicraft or mareisland as this place is really a bottom of the barrel brewery

A little crazy, fun, and wild stop. We are finishing a hike in a nearby area and had a hankering for a beer and happen to stop by this place. It happened to be Saint Paddy's day and the place was packed. They were playing music and people were singing along and there was a food truck nearby beers were great and the ambience was amazing.

This place has so much potential to be better. Pros. 1. beer is ok and is made there. 2. Location is good also . 3. Staff is friendly Cons. 1. No security at all. 2. No age requirement and when the show started a couple of teenagers started talking and wouldn't $hut up. It was so disrespectful towards the comedians, nobody could hear their jokes. I had to leave due to this. 3. They need to put a speaker on the left side next to the pool table. It's very difficult to hear especially when others won't $hit up. 4. Eat before you come here or bring your own food. Food truck was horrible and overpriced. I'll come back in a couple of months with hopes they get their act together.

Wide selection. Chaotic vibe! Dog friendly (with generally responsible dog owners), & a friendly staff & good food trucks. Time to find a better location! ;)

Epidemic is ALWAYS a great place to grab a quality brew. This time (Thursday) was a trivia night and they had a food truck.. so it was hoppin but not Overly crowded. Great beers means great time.
Tried the holiday pairing options, all of them were really good but the skittles brew needs to be a general release!

This is a brewery which is always going to be my favorite. It has a very nice vibe to it, the service is superb and the beer tenders are very knowledgeable about their products. They always have a food truck everyday of the week. Besides beer, they have sodas, ice cream, and a free pool table! Everytime I come here it always feels like home, every weekend they'll have an event such as karaoke on Saturdays and Singo on Sunday. Enjoy a cold one here at epidemic ales, and you will have a great time!
