Nice Brewery. Above par offerings, a shame we won't work our way through the list. Ironically went for live music at a tied house, Bud, Corona, light lagers galore... but in the fridge were two cans from Pondaseta.Not sure the music sounded better, but we had a better time, having berr that suited our palates better.

Highly recommend this place if you’re in the neighborhood. Badly in need of a brewski after driving 12 hours through UT, NM, and Amarillo, and sure glad we did! Liked the IPA and hanging at the picnic table out back on a late evening before closing time. Just what we needed to destress from driving Rt 40 all day. Ben, the brewtender , gave us a sample of the dark IPA to try, and we bought ourselves a growler! We’ll be toasting with this dark beer, watching the skies grow dark during the 2024 eclipse, this month. Cheers!

Fun, friendly welcoming place. Always have a hood time every time we go!

We just so happened to be in town for St. Patrick’s Day and even though they were swamped, staff was very friendly and helpful. We asked for plenty of samples and took home some bigger bottles. Huge beer selection. Definitely recommend.

Always a pleasant experience, and today we invited family with us for their first visit. Our only regret is that we didn’t show up earlier to enjoy more time before closing. Staff went above and beyond to accommodate for me and my service dog plus 3 others in our party. (I mention this because other places we have visited in town are rude and/or unaccepting of service animals)

The beer tastes suspiciously like beer ? They also have curds that seem to be made from fried cheese ? Ranch dressing tastes good on most things. Go shorty. It’s your birthday

Beer is okay. Amarillo seven. Real world five. Only one person bartending on a Friday night so to say that service is lacking is an understatement. No table service either. I think they have competition in Amarillo would only be a good thing.

Great brewery!! Stopped by en route from LA to Fort Worth. Picked up the Sky Pie Pecan Porter and the I Seek a Darkness dark ale. Sooo good!!

Every assortment of craft beer and LIVE Music Wednesday’s & Saturday’s!!!This place ROCKS!!!
Nice brewery with plenty of choices for the beer enthusiasts including a “dark IPA” that was unfamiliar to this connoisseur. Favorite would be the I-40 IPA(crisp bite), then Fast and Hazy(super hazy) followed by Let the People Dance (very lemony). Big indoor patio with plenty of seating

Great tasting beers and it looked like a nice place, but we weren’t allowed to come in with a small dog. They told us we could sit outside in the patio, but the air temperature was in the low 40s and none of the heaters were on. It was pretty harsh, we had been driving since morning from Albuquerque. I ended up buying some beers in cans and eventually had them at home.

Great beer at this local Amarillo brewery. There was quite a few of options on tap. My favorite was the i40. I definitely recommend it to anyone who is from out of town or even your locals who have not tried this brewery. There was a food truck outside but I didn't have a chance to try any food from there.

Amarillo is not exactly known as a craft beer Mecca, but the ones we have a damn good. Pondaseta opened on Amarillo’s southwest side in fall 2018, survived COVID by shifting to curbside pickup and innovative ways to sell merch and snacks in order to remain open, and then picked up where it left off with an aggressive schedule of about one new beer every week.And I have yet to taste a beer I didn’t like that Kaleb and Trever have brewed. Because of that, Pondaseta has been my go-to throughout their five years, and now that they’re adding a second location in nearby Canyon, you know they’re on to something good.For a long time, independent food trucks and trailers provided pub grub, but then Pondaseta bought its own trailer, which makes it a brewpub. Kind of, I guess. The new location, though, will be in a huge historic depot, and will have a complete restaurant. And yes, I have already let it be known that I will be holding some of my office hours for students at that location.Because beer. Damn good beer.My faves at Pondaseta are I-40 IPA and The Fast And The Hazy, two of the four core beers. I have also loved on their other IPAs introduced for brief runs, as well as their Sky Pie Pecan Porter. Think desert beer. That one is for sipping, not slamming.For my dinner, I went with the Classic Burger, subbing the Beyond patty, and holding the cheese and special sauce. I wished not down with a couple of I-40s, and then short pours of their two winter beers, Festivus Winter Lager and Mukluk Winter Ale.Pondaseta is definitely worth taking the off-ramp from I-40, and cruising south on Coulter a couple of miles to get a few pints of a much better I-40.
