One of my favorite local breweries. A great selection that’s always changing and adding new brews to the mix. Great pizza and other food items on the menu. Come for their public events or just grab a drink with friends. Gilman has it all! Indoor and outdoor seating Recently partnered with a local winery, so serving beer, wine, cider, sours and more!

My husband and I went here around 5:30pm today (25Jul2026). Food is awesome, unfortunately that’s the only good thing about the place. Dude in the front didn’t even entertained us until we called his attention that we wanted to order. After paying he basically ignored us and continued chatting with the other staff. Wouldn’t have added tip if we had known. Restroom is filthy ugh, plus there’s this constant loud sound coming off from idk where (vent or kitchen). Food is worth coming back, but that’s it.

Great spot, really good beer and a solid selection. Tasty appetizers and overall good food. Service is on point, friendly and fast. Easy, relaxed place for meeting up with friends in the evening or just grabbing a beer and a snack. Definitely one of those local places you end up coming back to.

I had an amazing visit to Gilman Brewing. I just happened to be in Berkeley and stopped there on a lark. What a pleasant surprise! The staff was friendly and knowledgable. I asked the woman what beer they specialized in, and she said, Saisons. I had a pint of their current dark one (pictured), and it was excellent! There's also a nice vibe to this little place. People there were very chill yet nice. They had some really good sixties and seventies R&B tunes playing. Very pleasant place to have a pint.

Surprisingly good beer and food. The beer flavors are well developed and we particularly enjoyed the raisins. When it's cold out the tasting room can be a bit chilly so dress with that in mind.
