Fantastic new patio for a private party, excellent service, delicious beer, and great food!
All of this combined made Parliament Brewing the perfect venue for a private welcome event the night before our son's wedding. Adam and his staff were amazing! Throughout the evening, they made sure everyone had what they wanted. Adam provided great service: he greeted people, offered beer suggestions and remembered peoples' selections (kaleidoscope was a favorite!), chatted with guests, and generally made everyone feel welcome.
Parliament's new outdoor patio is a fantastic, casual-but-elegant space, with high top tables and plenty of room to mingle. It's a large area that's separated from the other patio, thus offering privacy without being fenced in. Our group was about 75 people, including some children, and the area could have handled more. Adam coordinated with the food truck, Tacos San Juan, to arrange a separate tab for the evening, and everyone loved the food. The food truck offered non-alcoholic beverages, and Adam also offered his refrigerator to store some soft drinks which he graciously served. By the end of the evening, Parliament's merchandise was also a big hit, so be sure to check it out and buy some!
The party was a fabulous success and a wonderful, casual alternative to a traditional wedding...
Read moreI had a great time here. I met long-time friends for beers, and, being Wednesday the Taco Truck was here. (¡Excellente!) They have a lot of great beers on tap, and the "crowlers" is not a mis-spelling. ~25 ounces in a custom aluminum can is a nice way to go. If you are like me, finishing a 12 ounce can or bottle leaves you wanting more. This is the answer! Try the some of the tap brews and get cans or crowlers of your favorites to go!
Do yourself a favor and visit. You won't be disappointed!
2022 Still the same great beers, the taco truck is back, and the folks working the taps are friendly & fast. Check out their offerings, and try something new!
2023 This is still a great place to get together, and the on tap offerings continue to evolve. Several iterations of California-style IPAs, (my personal faves) as well as pils & stouts are available. The taco truck was there again this Wednesday, and I really think that they have actually gotten better. They were good before, but I really REALLY enjoyed my Carne Asada Super Burrito. Pairs well with the Green Balloon...
Read moreMy first time at Parliament, and every subsequent visit, have been nothing but exceptional. One of the co-owners, Adam, and his brother had a long conversation with me on a slow night a few months after Parliament had first opened. They walked me through how they make their beer, brewing micro batches and tweaking ingredients adding some coffee beans here, some vanilla there, subbing out different hop varieties until they had something they wanted to bring to their patrons in a larger batch. The two brothers and their dad who opened this brewery are from Maryland, and I believe they have created some of the best beer I've ever had by bringing together styles from both coasts and beyond, and making it their own. Whenever I am up in the Bay Area, I make it a point to stop in and try what's new because there is always something top of its class on tap!! I am excited to see how this brewery grows and am happy to support them with my business and review. 5/5...
