Destination-worthy Oakland brewpub with excellent house beers, spacious multi-level seating, and rotating pizza/taco pop-ups; IPA-forward lineup, moderate prices, limited gluten-free and no cider.
Original Pattern Brewing delivers solid A-grade performance through exceptional beer quality with strong hazy IPAs and collaborations, paired with knowledgeable, friendly staff and attractive multi-level taproom design with brewery views. The venue excels as a neighborhood destination for craft beer enthusiasts, though rotating food pop-ups and limited non-beer options prevent broader appeal needed for grade A territory.
One caveat: Pricing can feel high to some for 12–14 oz pours
