Barrel Brothers Brewing Company

Today is my husband and my first visit. We will DEFINITELY be back. I fell in love with their trends beer which is a tribute to the "Friends" show. My favorite is the orange/marshmallow Trends beer. It tastes like an orange Creamsicle; so good! The atmosphere, food and service are wonderful. My husband and I HIGHLY recommend!

So much fun and so many beers on the tap wall. Love the chicken satay and the fries with truffle? powder. Yum! My boyfriend has the corn dog every time. Finally tried a bite and it was really good.

The best brewery for sours in California, i have never had a bad experience here. I only with they had longer hours and brought it food trucks so we could hang out longer. The staff makes you feel welcome and like family. I actually look forward to my Friday banter with Morgan. She has got to be the sweetest person ever! You better tip her well she deserves it!

I went to the brewery for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it was awesome! They have an incredible selection of tasty, interesting beers, and the spot is really conducive for a great hangout with friends. Plus, the beer names are the best I've seen. Highly recommend!

Friendly staff tried to give me a sliver of an experience even though they were slammed and really didn't have time. Outstanding beer. OK blues band for Friday happy hour. Will definitely go back to try more of the beers. Had Framboise, Quad; both were amazing. Porter had a bit too much vanilla for my taste, but it was a quality beer.

Some absolutely incredible beers available here and not just IPAs which makes a very refreshing change in California. There are also some great cocktails on draft. Staff are always friendly and helpful, they have a great selection to go. The only only thing I wish is that they had food, maybe regular rotation of food trucks or something.

This establishment has a self service pour by the ounce model that I found to be very refreshing. I can try each beer, seltzer or cocktail without getting too much of any one thing. I enjoyed the food as well.

Really good interpretations of beer styles. We we're very impressed with the selection and what what the brewer did. This is a must stop for the area Our servers, Katie and Caitlin, we're very knowledgeable about the beers and the production techniques. In addition, they were very welcoming and friendly.

We stopped in for dinner because we were staying nearby. This was our first time at a pour your own establishment and we really liked it. The beer here is excellent and the food was also good. The staff was very friendly & helpful. If we're ever in this area again we will be back.

This is a great beer garden option, especially if you're hungry and someone in your party is not that into beer. Loved the baked oyster specials! The pretzel and Korean taco were not as exciting, but tasting my way through all of their cocktail options and their beer selection definitely were. A fun time!

Love the convenience of the taps on the wall and ordering at the counter. The garlic parm fries were great. The Korean corn dog was good, but could definitely use more dipping sauce on the side. Awesome house ranch.

Awesome place to have lunch. The staff were so friendly and very informative. The food had great eye appeal and tasted really good. And the prices were easy on the wallet. We were told that the menu would be expanded in the next few weeks. The taps are so cool. You can pour yourself an ounce of beer or cider or cocktail, a flight of any to taste a variety, or you can pour yourself a full glass of your favorite beverage. First time that I have tasted Hop Water, and I liked it. The ambiance was a laid-back, high-tech scene that felt open and airy. At each tap, you can use a touch screen to see more product information, see how much the beverage costs per ounce, or see how much your current bar tab is as you are pouring. It would be nice if you could also see the total number of ounces you have poured. Definitely will be going back and bringing friends.

Such a wonderful spot. Loved that they have serve yourself cocktails. I really enjoy the cocktail options. The food was delicious BUT small portions (expect for the corndog). Do not go starving cause you will rack up the bill with the food. PRICES are expensive. Nice outdoor spots and in a beautiful area of windsor. Plenty of parking space! Also they sometimes have live music of comedy nights!

This was my first time here and at times I was left with many questions on: how do I order, what do I order and do I belong here? Thankfully, the amazing, friendly and very hospitable staff lead by Dante made all those uncertainties go away. They have a very unique way on serving food and literally charge by the ounce for booze. I totally dig the place and will be back. If you're looking for something new and not your average local eatery, give this place a shot because it won't break your bank and will have a totally new unique experience.

My first time here, and I'm impressed at how much this BB location offers. The curry was tasty, and I've sampled/drank beer, sake, and cocktails from the uber-cool self-serve tap system. The staff is great, too. I'm definitely coming back!

Very cool brewery. We selected it because it also had NAs. The cool part of this place is you get to pour your own beers and pay by the ounce. For us, we didn’t get overloaded on beer. Food service was great and tasted good. We ordered the sausage plate and it was enough for 2 ppl. We really enjoyed our time. Dog friendly too.

The Ceviche bowel was a little small and hard to eat,but very good! The Poke Salad was awesome, and the seaweed salad was a nice surprise. The Banh Mi was a sandwich and tasted excellent, but the bread was hard to eat.

Barrel Brothers was recommended to me by a local I met at Russian River. Barrel Brothers was everything he described and much more. This is a small craft brewery with outstanding ales. Everyone was complex and full flavored. KD was serving the beers alone until more people started to arrive. She has a passion for good beer and Barrel Brothers has that in abundance. If you are visiting Santa Rosa, take the short drive north on 101 to Windsor to visit Barrel Brothers.

Loved this place! Tap card system for their beers which allowed us to try all the beers for reasonable $$. They have the best chicken satay I've ever had, delicious and highly recommended!

Me and the wife came here while we were visiting the area and it was great! The pay by oz drink taps are a great idea and all the ones we had were delicious. We also got the pretzel with beer cheese, the al pastor crunchwrap, and the burger.

Epic NEW Tap Room and Kitchen! Self Pour Beer Taps (so cool) and the food was great on their FIRST day! They’ve done all this before!

A hidden gem. As a sour beer lover, I was thrilled when I saw how many they had on tap. The staff was incredibly friendly. They have plenty of different styles off beers for everyone and continuously produce new ones. Highly recommend coming here.

Stools are hard... but this place is the BEST!! Seriously... pour your own, as much or as little as you want from a very good variety!! What more could a beer lover ask for!? Luv it!!!

What a wonderful experience! Can in to celebrate with fa, Cory was a one man band at the counter, and what a great band it was! He made sure we had heat on the patio and sooo attentive!! And with family, including a a 2 year old, it was nice we got to enjoy an evening together!! Thanks Cory!!

The beer wall is really fun, wish more of the non-alcoholic ones had been available. Food was very tasty, but the menu is limited, and is meant more for snacking with beer than as a full meal. But we had a good time and definitely will be back!

A very nice place to sit. Open patio. I ordered the hand dipped corn dog. It was freshly made and a very good quality frank but the batter was way too thin. It was fully cooked but it was wet because of the steam from the frank. A thicker batter would be much better.

They had good selection of beers. But cocktails on tap were not good. Also, I found food was bit expensive!

Nice selection of beers available by the ounce along with a few wines and some cider. Nice but limited food menu, not your usual pub fare. Good place to hang out. Cocktails now too!

Interesting restaurant/pour house. The garlic fries were the best thing there.

Overall great place to meet for good food and beer. Variety of types of drinks. Always a friendly staff. One thing, The beer glasses are not cold. Self serve is great, but beer is meant to be served in a cold glass (IMO).

We like the beer and food. What we don't like: people bringing dogs into the food and beer pouring area. Dogs sniffing glassware and moving their bodies along the formerly-clean glassware for other patrons to pick up and use. Sorry, but that's not in compliance with Food Safety Standards. Our pets stay home.

Weird concept that doesn't work very well. The concept is you pour your own beer. The annoying thing is you have to stand in line from the get-go to get a card to be able to go pour your own beer and then you have to get it reauthorized every time you have two beers. So, it feels like you're going to stand in a line a whole lot. You also have to wait in line to close out, unless you want to drop your card in the bucket with an automated 18% gratuity, which seems excessive when you're pouring your own beers and stand in line the whole time. Last thing I'll say as well is that they have a wall of taps but half of it is taken up by ciders and other non-beer that's not done by barrel Brothers. At times they have the same two beers side by side just limiting the variety of options.

I'm confused, how much do I tip myself for pouring my own beer, and placing my own food order? The food was good, but the prices were on the high side. The beer is good, but not as comical as when they started.

Food was a disappointment. The hamburger was underwhelming, nachos were not worth finishing, and the macaroni and cheese would have been better at home. But the dark beer was good and the ipas were ok

this is a help yourself place. 2 points - I am tech savvy, and I am VERY sympathetic to the current work climate and staffing challenges. That said - you are responsible to get give them your card. to keep track of a card to dispense beer. if you haven't done this before and forget your card, everyone else that ours a beer from that tap is on your tab. yes- it's stupid and annoying. I know I'm a Boomer, but regardless - this is not cool. you have to go get your own beer/beverage each time you want one from an automatic dispenser. Food - you have to scan the QR code and get on the online app and spend the time and effort to familiarize yourself with the order app and order your own food. Came in a reasonable amount of normal restaurant time. Food was good. the people that were on staff were engaging and friendly but their role was minimal at best. sooooo - guess what pops up when you go to cash out?!?! Tip 15%, 18%, 20%!!!! now - I feel for those people working, but seriously?!?! I did all the work. And paid for other drinks due to a rookie mistake. Annoying, but I am actually lucky enough to afford it. Seems like better use could be made of the wonderful tech tools we have, and still be much more engaging and user friendly!!

First time here today. Place wasn't busy at all, probably less than 15 people when I headed inside. The employee working the register was rude and standoffish towards me which was rather odd. Upon arriving, he was closing out another customer, understandable that I wouldn't have his full attention. When he was done with said customer, I asked about how the place worked and how to purchase beer, he ignored my question and asked to see ID. Ok.... ID provided, he muttered simple instructions, "you get this card, use it to pour beer", gave me my card, table number and that was it. I poured my self a beer and what happened next really ticked me off.. Another customer came in and asked the same exact question, but got a different treatment and explanation.. He walked them over to the taps, showed them how to use the card, pour the beer, and offered them a complimentary taster.. Totally different attitude and hospitality than the one I received. I would have liked to taste other beers but his demeanor towards me just really ruined the experience, I poured less than 16 oz and it was close to $6.00 so definitely not cheap. Beer was ok, kind of warm. Probably won't be coming back

The service is serve yourself as in tap your own beer. The food was ok but nothing special. This place was much better when located off Shilo Rd. When we were there the automatically added 18% tip and I had tapped the beer. Is this AI right here in Windsor? I guess the cleanup staff get the tip. We probably won’t be back.

We used to love this place but the last several visits have been increasingly disappointing. Consistently they have been out of beers on their beer wall but the past two visits 50% of the taps were dry and could not have the keg switched. Food has been good for a taphouse but being out of stock on 50% of the beer being sold is a deal breaker for us in the future. We go to a brewery for beer and if it's not available that's bad for business. Again, a consistent problem so maybe call ahead to make sure everything is available. Same issue with canned beer, out of popular beers like smoothie beer consistently.

We used to LOVE coming here! Went almost every Friday night and enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere. Was here 3 weeks ago and after waiting 45 minutes for food we decided to leave. It sucked watching four employees chat while the one guy in the kitchen was busting his ass. Went back this last Friday and they were packed. We knew it would take some time to get food but we didn’t expect to have EMPTY TAPS that only put out foam. I get it’s hard to find help but you are a brewery that serves food so I would think keeping those taps full and running would be a no brainer. We spent $25 on end- of -the -keg, foamy beer. We’re going to give it one more shot because we want this place to survive like the other restaurants in this location didn’t.

Beer was acceptable, food was horrible. Ordered the "soft" pretzel and it came out a crusty, chunk of yuck. Ordered the nachos and they quickly melted into an discussting soup. We could not finish either of them. I'm assuming the cook doesn't know what he's doing or just doesn't care what he puts out.
