James Calley Brewing Company — Attraction in Sapulpa

I’m genuinely disappointed with our recent visit to James Calley Brewery. What was intended to be a relaxing evening quickly turned unpleasant due to how the staff handled a situation that could have been approached with far more professionalism and courtesy.

We brought in food from a local food truck, as there was no visible signage or policy posted anywhere stating that outside food was not permitted. Shortly after we sat down to eat and had already purchased a beer, we were told we needed to either not eat our food or take it someplace else. Rather than communicating the policy in a respectful or understanding manner, the staff’s approach felt abrupt and unnecessarily harsh. There was no attempt to explain or de-escalate—just a clear message that we weren’t welcome. I was told “you wouldn’t take food into a McDonald’s”. We’ve been to many other breweries in the greater Tulsa area that have their own kitchens, and they allowed us to bring in outside food as long as we were paying customers.

A nice range of beers. Hopefully they can avoid the fading trend of having 10 different IPAs. Whoever designed the remodel of the old machine shop knocked it out of the park! It should win some architectural design award or two. We agreed that we need to make the drive over to Sapulpa more often not just for a beer here, but to check out the rest of the downtown area in more...

Oh yeah! 👍🏻😂🥳🍻 I probably been to 50 breweries around the country. This is one of those special places. Fantastic building, amazing history.. 🤩 from a carriage house to a foundry! Really good beers with an unusual process because the beer goes from the vessel⚗️ to your glass! And what cool glasses they are! 😎

When the bartender tells you what's on tap and what the flavor profile is - That's exactly what it taste like! It's never exposed to outside air until it's poured! 😲

And they have an in-house restaurant. I ordered the Reuben. It's been a good while since I've had a Reuben because they're always stringy🤮 This one was perfect!😋 The meat is shipped in weekly from Wisconsin, and...
