Review:

Chris Cramer and his friend Matt Rattner opened the Karl Strauss Brewing Company in February of 1989.

The Brewery has a tasting room and popular open-air beer garden where visitors can relax with friends and enjoy a tasting of the brew house’s products. The large garden space offers plenty of seating and shade, as well as a separate barrel room for private functions and parties.

Visitors can also explore the brewery and take a guided tour to see the bottling line before settling down to taste some of the 20 tapped beers available in the tasting room and beer garden.
