Eavesdrop Brewery

stopped here to pick up a growler fill and some cans to go. stand alone building next to a strip mall and gas station, with an outdoor tent and some outdoor seating as well. inside there is a serving bar at the back, some tables, and a to-go cooler of cans. they also sell some to-go cans from other breweries. 14 beers on draft. I picked up a growler of the Black IPA and a 4-pack of the West Coast Pilsner. Liked the Black IPA much more.

 

Includes the Drop bottle shop also. More than just a bottle shop, this is also a taproom with a beach vibe. Huge outdoor aea with cabanas and games and picnic tables, small air conditioned space in the small taproom. large taplist with a variety of styles. Great service, flights available. Quite the nice setup they have here, small taprooom, bottle shop and a fairly extensive beer garden. Very lively during my visit. Bottle shop does not open until later. Sat in the taproom and got prompt, freindly service. Nicely rounded taplist too. It was near my hotel as an added bonus.

 

A little hidden building, it's not so straightforward getting to it if you are heading south on 28. A nice little space that relies as much on outside seating as it does the tables inside. A couple points of sale against the back wall from which you can choose a standing bar behind you or some tables beyond that if you don't choose the open air outside. Service was friendly, though a busy order area doesn't have a well defined queue. Thankfully, they do offer half pours.

The brewery hasn't had more than a half dozen beers on when we've visited, generally of paler varieties. There's usually an IPA or two, some from of lighter offering (including lagers), and a wildcard or two (saison and imperial stout last visit). The beers don't seem to have obvious flaws, but the IPAs don't seem to hit on all the attributes of the styles they proclaim.

We're likely to stop by once in a while on a nice day when we're out in the area on a nice day. I'd like a few more options and a little attention to style details for the non-IPAs to get me drawn in a bit more.

 

Cozy place tucked away like a hidden oasis with some amazing beers! Rooftop deck as well!!! Definitely will be back
