Fun brewery! We sat outside by a heater and played cards. Dogs welcome on the patio and plenty of outdoor seating. The hazy IPA was delish

Go. Order a pint. Then kneel and beg for a humble but. You get a sandwich on a chive roll. Flavorful tomato in December! Real bacon! It is far beyond the sum of its parts. Just go. Go now.

Happened to stumble on to this place after leaving another spot nearby. Didn't try the food, but stopped in for drinks. Liked the indoor/outdoor space. Most of it is outdoor space and since it was a nice day was all good.

Great location for a brewery, nearby food trucks, restaurants, shops, wineries, and other breweries as well! It was quite packed, but plenty of outdoor seating is available! Fun ambiance with collaboration beers available as well! Love that it is dog friendly here!

Sante Adarius and Private Press have teamed up to breathe new life into what was once Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing, and the results are nothing short of impressive. The transformation has taken place quietly but surely, with the venue emerging as a new gem in the Santa Cruz brewing scene. Located just around the corner from the more well-known Humble Sea Brewing, this spot is quickly garnering a devoted following--and for good reason. The ambiance is intimate, with just a few bar seats, two indoor tables, and a handful of outdoor tables. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, enjoy the vibe, and really focus on the beer. The tap handles are a standout--each one unique and adding to the character of the place. The bartenders here are the epitome of chill, adding to the laid-back, welcoming atmosphere. For those looking to take something home, there's a small beer fridge stocked with to-go cans. However, if you're planning to grab a bite with your beer, be aware that the kitchen closes early on Saturdays, at 4:45 PM. Another thing to note is that they don't offer flights, which might be a downside for those who like to sample a bit of everything before committing to a full pour. But with the quality of beer on offer, you might find you don't miss the flights at all. In short, this venue has become a rising star, turning heads and winning fans with its revamped beer recipes and relaxed vibe. It's definitely worth checking out, especially if you're a fan of Sante Adarius or Private Press and are curious to see how their collaboration has redefined this space.

If you are looking for good beer and a chill place to hang out, this is a good spot. They had a variety of options on tap. I tried the Unicorn tears (hazy), swift street (amber), and a limited strawberry beer. The hazy was one of the better hazys I've had in a while. I liked all three and would have them again. This brewery is located in the new industrial area. The brewery itself doesn't have a kitchen but there are a few food options nearby. The staff was so nice and helpful, I could tell they liked being there. They offered suggestions on beers based off of my preferences and offered to turn on heaters to make the outdoor space a little more comfortable in the evening. Th outdoor set up is nice with covered tables and cool mountain bike themed decor. Next time I'm in Santa Cruz, I'll be stopping by for another visit!

The location of Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing is cool! It is located next to other restaurants. There is not much indoor seating at this brewery and the interior is very small. The exterior has a ton of outdoor booths and seats. They have funky decorations like an elephant inside and hanging bicycles outside. Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing does not serve food. We tried their red ale, Unicorn Tears (hazy IPA), and a strawberry beer. They all were good, but the Unicorn Tears was my favorite. It was a great visit to this brewery!
