Brew the Right ThingBelieve it or not, as little as just five years ago, the Spartan-Keyes neighborhood used to be quite the hub for craft brewing and even housed a distillery, 10th St Distillery, that's now moved further north near J-Town on N 4th St.Along with Strike there used to be Clandestine (RiP), Santa Clara Valley Brewing (RiP), and Hermitage (RiP). Santa Clara Valley Brewing got replaced by Narrative Fermentations but Strike has hung in there for nearly twenty years (ca. 2008).The Good:*Stopped in here recently with the boiz from werk and love that the ambiance and vibe hasn't changed much in the time they've been around. It has been a few years since I've visited and they've definitely upgraded the seating and lighting, but it's great that it's still in the heart of the brewery.*Bartender was friendly*Rewards program *Prices are really good, as they should be when you're getting it straight from the source.*Great selection of something for everyone, as they have all the usuals from pilsners and IPAs to Stouts. The Meh:*No food served and I'm not sure if food trucks every show up, but I'm pretty sure you're welcome to bring-your-own.The Ugly:*The problem with the location being in the heart of the brewery is it's basically a warehouse and the summers in here can be *brutal*. Conclusion: Great place to stop for a pint or two with the boiz.

3 main things.1. Beer was amazing! I believe I tried almost everything on the menu, and I was not disappointed by anything! 2. Service was fast, pleasant and the beer tenders were very knowledgeable 3. Great for kids! They had some games that the kids could play with while the adults were able to catch up! It was a little dark for my old aging eyes ;) but it fit the food perfectly!

Nice intimate brewery for you needs. Parking is super easy. The plaza is full of multiple businesses but plenty of space. The staff at the brewery are nice and knowledgeable. Went in on a Thursday and it appeared to be semi-slow. Again, think intimate setting. Playlist was superb if you're a millennial indie-alternative fan like myself. Bree selection wasn't overwhelming and had all the best options (light, fruity, hoppy). All in all I will definitely be back.

A great little brewery to spend a couple of pleasant hours. We walked in and the bartender immediately showered us with many samples of the different beers . He was also very knowledgable about each and every type of beer . They brew everything in house and we eventually decided to go with the hard seltzer and their sour , French-inspired beer. Both were really good !We will likely come back again !

I went here for their Comedy Night and had such a great time! This place is super hidden--you really have to search or know someone to find it. But if you're looking for a spot that can seat a lot of people, has a chill vibe, and where you can watch a game or enjoy some comedy, then this is definitely the place to go! The service is great, and it has a rustic feel since it's located among warehouses. I love the creativity. The drink selection is great too, even though I don't drink alcohol--they have some sodas, which is cool for non-alcoholics. My only issue is that it can get quite hot in there during the summer, so just keep that in mind.

Had a great evening with my wife at Strike Brewing Company this evening at about 8pm. We met the very knowledgeable and friendly bar tender to help select from the different craft beers made on site. A wide selection that will definitely satisfy beer aficionados. The Craft beers were great, we saw more and more people come in during the relaxing and fun hour we spent at Strike.We have not visited for a long and are glad to be back. We really appreciate the great new layout of the bar and the high chairs with comfy chair backs.A great place for a fun evening.

Came by back in Jan'23, on a Sunday afternoon around 3PM to catch up with a friend. Had one of their Hazy's. Literally no one else was there, so it was nice to just have a quiet setting to catch up.They have quite a bit of seating inside. There was some food outside you can order from another vendor.Staff was friendly.Small parking lot available outside.

4/1/24 went there yesterday. It looked like the place had a makeover with new beer selections. The table and benches were not set like it used to be before. I like the original layout better especially if you want to watch sports on their 2 TV screens on their wall!Taco Food truck was outside for snacksThere were only 1 patron + my family (3) the bartender.We used to be a Mug Club member before the pandemic!I wonder if they changed management!

After all of these years, totally thought I had written a review for Strike...but I have not! I'm grateful for Strike being around and have enjoyed their beers.2 Seam, Dinger, Triple Play...baseball themed! I also like how the taproom usually has a game on the TV too. Very nice low key ambiance too, the taproom isn't large but it does plenty of benches, bar seats, and tall boy tables (and cans for takeout lol). So perfect for a group outing, date, or just a cold drink if you're rolling solo.Other cool things about the brewery? Mug Club! Kid and Dog friendly too. They also have a ton of board games and cards available too.If you have never been...Strike can be easy to miss if you're driving down 10th street but look for the yellow taproom sign and pull right into the back. Parking is clearly marked now and there is a food truck present too. Final Piece of Donovan Life Advice? Perfect pre-game spot for a San Jose Giants game or Costco trip! Lol
