    Berkeley, Calif. -- February 2020 -- An ambassador for craft beer in Berkeley, California, Fieldwork Brewing Company expands to seven locations throughout Northern California with a new taproom officially now open for business at Town Center Corte Madera in Marin County. Fieldwork's latest outpost opens following the brewery's recent announcement of its Sacramento taproom tripling in size to nearly 5,000 square feet in spring 2020. The Fieldwork Taproom at Town Center Corte Madera features a 2,400 square feet indoor taproom and outdoor seating.

    The Grand Opening of the Corte Madera locale takes place on Saturday, February 8, 2020 at 11 am. Fieldwork will have a handful of library beers on the draft menu that will be exclusively available at the new Corte Madera location, including Bourbon Barrel Aged Danger Cake Imperial Milk Stout and 2019 Eliza New Orleans-Style Coffee Imperial Milk Stout.

    Brewing well over 500 unique beers since opening its West Berkeley brewery in February 2015, Fieldwork brews with as much a sense of purpose as a sense of place as they honor Northern California's magnificent outdoor landscapes with an array of idiosyncratic beers in constant rotation on the tasting menu. The esteemed brewing team focuses on innovation for its ever-evolving roster of signature IPAs, Double IPAs, lagers, pale ales, sours, stouts, etc. Based on seasonality and consistent quality, Fieldwork forges its own path brewing beers they simply love to drink.

    The sole beer company onsite at Town Center Corte Madera, the new Fieldwork Taproom opens with upwards of 18 beers on the menu including a handful of library releases that will be exclusively available at the new Corte Madera location. All seven Fieldwork taprooms are within a 200-mile radius of its West Berkeley brewery to ensure only the freshest beer is served to its customers while being conscious of its carbon footprint.

    The Fieldwork Taproom at Town Center Corte Madera also debuts a new food program developed by renowned San Francisco chef Jeffrey Amber (Culinary Director, Fieldwork Brewing Company). Lauded as a "Rising Star Chef" by San Francisco Chronicle, Amber joins the Fieldwork Brewing team after his pioneering work as Executive Chef at Bi-Rite, Culinary Director at MIXT, Executive Chef at Chow, among leading other restaurant ventures. For the Fieldwork Taproom menu at Town Center Corte Madera, Amber sources exceptional organic ingredients from Bay Area farmers to serve seasonally-focused dishes and support the local sustainable agricultural ecosystem.

    The centerpiece of Fieldwork's food menu is Neapolitan-inspired pizza cooked with organic flour from Central Milling (Logan, Utah) and fresh whole peeled organic tomatoes sourced from Rob DiNapoli (Los Gatos, Calif.). Winter vegetables and artisanal meats shape the opening menu with eight different pizza styles. Starters include many health-conscious options, and a children's menu is available as well as dessert. The Fieldwork Taproom at Town Center Corte Madera full menu can be downloaded at this LINK.

    "We are excited to open the Fieldwork Taproom at Town Center Corte Madera and bring our fresh, locally brewed beer to Marin County. We've always wanted to offer high-quality foods and the Town Center locale is a great environment for us to introduce Jeffrey Amber's menu. It will be a fantastic destination and we are pleased to be joining so many complementary merchants," says Barry Braden, co-founder and owner of Fieldwork Brewing Company.

    The Fieldwork Taproom at Town Center Corte Madera will be located at 107 Corte Madera Town Center, Corte Madera, CA 94925.

    Specifically in Gardena, CA. I think there’s an open space available right now. There’s also a space open in Santa Ana. :wink:

    Eh. You guys are clamoring for an 8th but as a NorCaler, I'm not really convinced they can really cover the 7 (or 6) they currently have.

    They only brew in one location. And with each new opening, they have less to provide to each. So I totally question their strategy.

    I haven't been to Fieldwork in a while since I drive way less for work in my new role, but with this Corte Madera location opening I'm going to probably be going there quite a bit. My wife's entire family lives in Sonoma, and it's basically a beer wasteland between Cow Hollow and Highway 37. Now I'll be able to make a quick stop to grab some crowlers :grin:

    I think @dangsdunks meant South Bay (San Fran area). Not our South Bay.

    Nice that’s good to see it make it down there. So there’s no confusion Fieldwork is opening an 8th location in the San Jose area. My bet is on Milpitas near the new Bart Station and Virgin Hotel. Heard they had issues with San Jose and Campbell.

    And different yeast strains. I was reminded as much by the recent St. Thomas O.G. release. Such a great WCIPA, and far superior for my palate and preferences to the evolved hazy version of St. Thomas currently released more frequently.

    Personally, I'd rather see them figure out more can availability and batch consistency than open more locations.

    Distro? To Bottle Shops in Socal?

    They don't even do that in NORCAL. Cans are all released at the various FW taprooms. Usually via online Pre-Sale on the Fieldwork website.

    That would be interesting for sure about distro. Any further details?

    Unless they add a brewhouse, nowhere. Satellite tasting rooms are limited to 6.

    Just to clear it up for this thread, we aren't expanding distribution to So Cal. We do a limited amount of draft to our friends in San Diego, but that's the extent of our plans. cheers!
