Barebottle Brewing Company
This Bernal Heights brewery puts the spotlight on homebrewers. Every month, Barebottle hosts amateur brewing competitions, and the finalists (as chosen by visitors like you) get added to the tap room's rotating menu. The emphasis is on discovery and experimentation, so come with an open mind and be ready to taste an inventive roster of beer.

If you have kids and you like hazy IPAs then Barebottle is quite likely already as much as part of your vocab as the names and jobs of all the Paw Patrol pups, since this expansive taproom is kid-friendly and has games that people of all ages will appreciate, including shuffleboard, ping pong, pinball, and more. Dogs are also allowed, so the space feels very lively on the weekends when it’s filled with both. You can also bring your own food, but there’s usually a food truck or pop-up serving up tasty bites if you’d prefer to not pack your own lunch. As far as what to order—this is definitely the spot to start with a tasting flight.
