"Nice clean spot. Stopped by after hitting Wood Family Vineyards across the street.
Two of us had:
maui waui ipa $7
waui water peach breaker $6
I personally had the IPA. Unfortunately, no hazys here. Standard IPA.
Food truck available outside."

"Awesome, danky IPAs and a great facility! Altamont Beer Works is always a fun spot to hang out or join for an event. Taproom is spacious, beers are fresh, and there's a friendly, lively vibe. Highly recommended!"

"This place is great. The beer never disappoints and they are friendly and efficient. They offer SWAG for purchase such as growlers, hats, shirts and stickers. You can get your growler filled but it is actually cheaper to purchase the cans if they have your favorite type available. The environment is friendly and welcoming. They have barstools, large tables, couches and stand up tables where you can enjoy your beer.
They do not serve food but there is a large food truck outside where you are able to make purchases and they will bring it in for you. I am assuming that the food truck is always there or there is a daily rotation of trucks. When I went, there was a wood oven truck that served pizza, sandwiches, fries, ribs and more.
It's a great way to spend the afternoon and I would visit more often if they were closer to me. This brewery is closely tied to the bay area and you can see it in the beer, decorations and brand."
