Cooperage Brewing Company

Great beer. Food options vary each day of the week, but are always good. Tonight (Saturday) there was live music, a band called JOOSE, and they rocked the house with 90's music covers! I recommend checking this place out. 4 stars.

Wow. Both beers are top level. A Hazy Double and the Wook IPA. Both bold and flavorful. Now we’re waiting for the burgers and Canjun Sausage Rolls.

Tons of covered outdoor seating (picnic tables), with friendly dogs, affordable tankards, and a delicious taco truck. There are also non-alcoholic choices and snacks at the bar, which was great for the meetup we were having.

Cooperage is one of my favorite breweries in Santa Rosa. They always have good beers and atmosphere. The crowd the last few times i've been seems to be less 20 something year olds and more of older generations who seem like regulars. Pre-pandemic the vibe was more hip and lively. Giving somewhere a complete review during the pandemic is difficult but right now Cooperage is doing things as good or better than other breweries. They have a large covered seating area(Bringing the indoors outdoors style) with good heaters so even if it's raining and cold you'll be fine. They are open 7 days a week now with food trucks every day. Every time i've been it's always been the same food truck, Streetside asian grill which is probably just due to chance. I can't complain because Streetside is great too. Cooperage is usually decently packed even on a weekday so you don't have the uncomfortable vibe of being one of the only people there that some other breweries in Santa Rosa suffer from. One negative is there only being one bathroom. Drunk people pee a lot and there is often an awkward line. The biggest negative however isn't exclusive to cooperage but is shared by many breweries and restaurants during the pandemic and that is having you sit at barrels. I get that the name is Cooperage but sitting uncomfortably over a barrel when you're required to buy food is a terrible experience. 3 peoples meals and beer barely fit and good luck trying to get a 4th. This could easily be solved by putting a slightly larger table top over the barrel. Again this problem isn't exclusive to cooperage, but they are an extreme offender. Pre-pandemic when you didn't have to buy food and could wander and stand by the barrels was a nonissue. With their few faults overall Cooperage has the best beers (Imo), warm covered seating, lively atmosphere and decent hours but still open every day, and a better location than any other brewery in Sonoma County. Definitely Santa Rosa.
