Bear Republic Brewing Company Reviews List

Bear Republic Brewing Company

Located in Sonoma County, you might wonder how a brewery in the heart of California"s wine country could make such distinctively flavorful beers. With awards too plentiful to list, the Bear's creations are too good to miss.

Founded in 1995, the Norgrove family and Bear Republic Brewing Company strive to foster a sense of loyalty and tradition from eras gone by. From the humble beginnings of home brewing, to the demanding process of commercial brewing, came the realization that to produce the distinctive flavors and aroma we found appealing required the founding of our own Brewery and Brewpub.

The Norgrove Family invites you to come by for good, healthy food and our award winning ales and lagers. Located on the corner of Healdsburg's historic downtown square, our family environment guarantees a good time for all!

"We ate here for restaurant week. The food was delicious. The Chili vinaigrette and stuffed jalapenos were out of this world. They were busy yet attentive. We really enjoyed sharing a beer flight and discussing what we enjoyed about each beer. That was a really great way to try a lot without over drinking. Only issue was a patron at another table who didn't seem to understand how much his voice carried. We sat outside and it was comfortable at night with the heaters, but his voice echoed off the patio. Probably would have been a problem if we had the kids, but for date night it was fine."

"Great food and beer list. Had no problems seating our group of 8 people. Sports bar vibe yet lots of cool local flavor also. Will swing by again the next time we're in the area."

"The food and the beer were of course awesome!! But the real treat was the server Jenny. We had just been to another brewery in the area for lunch and hit Bear Republic for dinner. Jenny was smiley, energetic, friendly, accommodating and really knowledgeable about the products and menu items. We'll definitely be back!"
