Brewery Twenty Five Taproom

While their beer may be very good, I'm reviewing the tap room. I'm giving it three stars because they are only open 4 hours a week. So to these other reviewers saying it's a nice place to kick back after the mission visit, or a hidden gem, it's literally almost never open. You can find their beer at other places around town, but don't expect to come here for a drink. Unless you happen to be in that four hour window once a week.

Man I love this place. Beer is always top notch, people always friendly. Owners are amazing and always helping and/or promoting the other wonderful small businesses in the area

A nice place to relax and enjoy a pint after visiting the mission. Barkeep was super friendly. Selection of brews were fantastic. My favorite was the Two Night Stay IPA. Take your favorite home in a tall can. I did!They have cozy indoor seating that is air conditioned as well as an outdoor patio area.Dogs are warmly welcomed here.

We had a great time visiting Brewery 25. Fran and Sean led us through a tasting of 6 of their beers, very educational and entertaining. I particularly liked their Kolsch and stout. Picked up a couple of crowlers to go. They don't serve any food, but there are several good restaurants near by.

Granted we went during COVID times and couldn't truly enjoy this brewery to it's extent. The patio tables are closed outside, it's takeout beer only. Since it's been a few years visiting San Juan Bautista, we went all out shopping at local businesses. Twenty Five was one of our discoveries. Staff were super kind and willing to take their time with us, answering all our questions. We walked away with 2 crowlers; kolsh and coffee porter We did drink both cans that week, each were a solid and tasty beer. My favorite was the coffee porter because it had so much flavor to it. I was told they partnered with the local coffee shop, vertigo, to use their coffee with this beer.
