Great beer, great service, great atmosphere. What more is there to say? Highly recommended, especially as the weather gets better. Nice outdoor area and live music on the weekends.

We've had their beer down in San Diego and so it's so cool that they have a nice beer garden and beer shop right here in Walnut Creek! The staff were super friendly and helpful, there was quite a bit of seating inside (with nice A/C) and outside (with heat lamps...not needed today!). We both got flights on Friyay which were 5 4oz pours plus a free glass that we can bring back to get discounted pours. Most of their IPAs were only OK, but they had a couple tasty ones. All their non-IPA styles (brown, kolsh, pineapple cider, honey blonde, Mexican lager) we tried were great! Definitely gonna make this one of my regular hangouts!!

We're Mike Hess fans. Been here and to the one in San Diego, interestingly. I even have a shirt. Love sitting on the patio. This is a good location because you have lots of food options near by too, besides a nice little place to have a beer. With Cali-Craft around the corner, you can get some good beers in one area and even head over to Hop Grenade after for the finish. Good place for beer lovers.

Good vibes and great beer! We came to Mike Hess on a weekend afternoon, hoping to enjoy the nice weather and a cold beer. The patio had plenty of seating and was dog friendly, yay! No food in house, but plenty of nearby restaurants to grab food from and bring over. Can't wait to come back!

Usually here with friends to hang out or getting a beer after a hike. Tuesdays are great because it's Taco Tuesdays at a nearby restaurant- $1! If you have the Hess glass, beer is $6...used to be $5. Good selection of beers. Indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is always a challenge though because it's in a busy shopping center.

Two words: Vietnamese coffee. Such a nice day to enjoy good company. Great indoor and outdoor area and the service is phenomenal. Had a flight with some hazy IPAs and they were all excellent. My dog of course had a better time than I did if that's even possible.

Wanted to wait until another visit here on a busier night would be before writing a review. I'm a Huge fan of this spot! Their outdoor patio is super cozy and plenty of room and shade for our fur kids. I'm pretty impressed with their tap rotation (both times I've gone I got a flight to try different beers). I think it's so cool they gift you with a souvenir cup when you turn your poker chip back in My favorites so far are the Mexican lager and the pineapple cider. So yummy and refreshing! Love that this tasting room is next to a handful of restaurants too so you can grab food to go and bring it here while enjoying your beer. I plan on coming here regularly! I've been meaning to have my next visit be during the week where i can bring my souvenir back for a discounted pour.

I always drive by Mike Hess Brewing company and my husband and I finally decided to go in. It was a Friday afternoon so it was busy but the patio and indoor area is spacious so we were able to find good seats outside. You walk up to the counter to order your drinks. I ordered the sangria seltzer and of course my husband had a beer (can't remember which one but he really enjoyed it). I was pleasantly surprised by the sangria seltzer. I really enjoyed it. They do not serve food but a few of the nearby restaurants will deliver food if you call your order in and pay with a credit card over the phone. I decided to order food online at the Mexican restaurant next door and quickly picked it up and brought it back. It was a perfect pair with our drinks. I really love that they are dog friendly and there quite a few babies and toddlers as well. It is a fun atmosphere on a warm day. I am looking forward to coming back in the near future. I plan on picking up food beforehand next time.

"Consistently Good Experience. Kudos to Woody and Andrew." I often come here after a run on Saturday. First, I get food from Jack's Urban eats, which they deliver right to the tap room. Then I settle down for a nice light beer. Hess has a good selection of beers and I usually get the Kolsch. But the thing that really makes this tap room are the bartenders, Woody and Andrew. Consistently friendly and helpful. They recently expanded the outdoor seating area. It's large now, with tons of picnic tables, high tables, stools, and a big screen TV. Well done! Nice people, good beer. What more can you ask?
