8 Best Craft Breweries near Healdsburg

“Super cool neighborhood spot. Great beer, great food, fun events, friendly staff. One of the best grilled cheese sandwiches I've ever had! Outdoor seating only (covered and with heat lamps in winter), it's a small spot with a bar and a few tables. Dog-friendly, they have water bowls for use. They usually have a game or fight or something along these lines on the bar tvs. There is a small lot for parking and plenty of street parking.“

“I am so happy that I took the time to make a stop at CUVER and sample their beers. I am an avid IPA drinker but after sampling CUVER's lineup of Belgian beers I may have changed my favorites list. Their beers are absolutely fabulous, I enjoyed every one of the 7 samples in the extended flight!! It's not a sprawling brewery like you find down the road but the atmosphere is very nice and you can tell immediately that it is a family run business, the staff are very friendly and are eager to tell you about their beers. If you like beer, do yourself a favor and stop by CUVER.“

“One of the best up-and-coming breweries in Northern California. Brewery itself is great. Good selection of very drinkable beers and a lot you can buy cans for. We've had them once before when in Santa Rosa and look forward to when they will be available all over.Brewery is really nice - kid and dog friendly (yes, we did have the people with the screaming kids next to us - people who do not understand other people exist in the world and don't want to hear your screaming kids the whole time we're trying to enjoy some beers - but that's not the brewery's fault - just be aware - if you don't want to be around screaming kids and parents who just let their kids go - this is not the place for you).Any place that lets dogs in is going to a good place. They have games here too and of course we left with shirts and hoodies.Support this place. With a lot of the breweries in the area closing down, it's good this place is thriving and hopefully will grow. It seems like Henhouse (who we also love) has really taken over the area but there's plenty of room for another great brewery.Also, if there's a beer you want to take home that they don't can, they will bottle some for you right there. That is awesome!! We of course took advantage of this - love it.“

“Love their "dark"beers. Reality Czech is my fave dark pilsner with Death & Taxes close behind. And they're about to release "Side of Rice" rice lager. If you haven't had a rice lager, they are lighter than wheat-based beers, and completely gluten-free. Though the beer tender told us that the beers are as close to gluten-free as they can be. A customer, who is celiac was there and he says he can drink it without a reaction. In a commercial park as many breweries are. Tables outside, music inside, typical parking lot scene. The Boucherie Cajun and French eats pop-up booth has creative good food. We had Black Eyed peas with cornbread, sweet peppers and elusive truffle oil. Unusual and yummy- a bit sweet for us but probably not for many people. We're coming back for a Side of Rice soon! Beer 5 starsFood 4..5Ambiance 3“

“This place is fantastic! First and foremost, the beer is incredible. I'm particularly fond of the IPAs. I had three different ones, and they were all fantastic. They don't have food but there's usually an amazing food truck there from 2:00pm-8:00pm. They do have snacks, though. The front bar area is really cool. I love the metal bar top. The back is totally awesome. Big, spacious, covered outdoor area with lots of seating. There is also lots of parking. And the bathrooms are clean, so big plus there.“

“Me and the wife came here while we were visiting the area and it was great! The pay by oz drink taps are a great idea and all the ones we had were delicious. We also got the pretzel with beer cheese, the al pastor crunchwrap, and the burger.“

“Cooperage is easily top 3 breweries in Sonoma County. They have a wide selection for hop lovers as well as people who are more into stouts and sours, and seltzers and N/A choices. Dog friendly and kid friendly with food trucks and great parties!“

“If there is something that is going to make food a little spicy, please put it on the menu! We ordered the mac n cheese and on the menu it apprears to be your run of the mill super cheesy mac n cheese. We were excited cause we haven't had a good mac in awhile. Come to find out, there was red pepper flakes or something in it that made it way to spicy/hot for me to enjoy. Even my partner who loves a good spice said it was too much. It needs to be on the menu. We overheard another lady get up and ask about it and was told it's a bold mustard... that's also not listed on the menu and it definitely was not mustard. She was having the rest of her group try it as well. Such a bummer. Other than that, we enjoyed Barrel Brothers. The tap wall is so much fun and let's you try what you want at your convenience. I love being able to created my own tasters. The rest of the food was really good. The Bahn Mi, fried pickles, and corn dog all hit the spot. My partner said the fried pickles were the best he's ever had. They were quite tasty and nice and crispy. The staff was excellent and the space was fun. Since it was a rainy day it filled up fast but everyone was so friendly and shared tables with strangers. I love that kind of vibe at breweries. We want to come back and check out some of their events so we will be back but not for the mac.“
