Dueling Dogs Brewing

Being from a long line of many generations of brewing in both the US and Germany, it's rather ironic that I prefer wine!In any case, a group of friends came here to celebrate a post-birthday gathering, and it was wonderful.Tucked far away in a rural part of Lincoln, the atmosphere is both upbeat and fun, with a very surprisingly top-tier experience.The grounds and outdoor seating are extensive, with lots of choices. Think of it as a large meandering beer garden.The building and interior are really a surprise, clean, spacious, and nicely designed with adequate indoor seating, too.The beer menu and options are impressive. Since it was over 100 degrees, we did comfortably sit indoors, and I chose a larger light beer, a 10oz Bailey's Blond. It was refreshing and excellent.There's a beer for nearly every taste.They have a wide variety of other drink choices, including ciders and non-alcoholic beers.They also have pizza and salads. We ordered two pizzas + one gluten-free.Everything was excellent!The pizzas were perfectly and professionally made, quality and an adequate portion for each. The salads were fresh, large, and well prepared.The staff were incredible. They were all so helpful and attentive.Dueling Dogs... good job!What a great place. I removed one star in the hope of a broader menu over time, i.e., perhaps even... tacos? BBQ? with outdoor grilling.I definitely will return soon!

A great place to stop for a beer or cider or mead on a nice day. Depending on when you get there it can be hard to find parking.They offer a good selection of multiple options of alcoholic beverages. There is plenty of seating inside and outside around a nice pond. The staff are always friendly and offer advice on what to try. There are food trucks sometimes on weekends. Of course you can bring your dog.

Just want to update my previous review to say that Dueling Dogs does now serve food! Yay! The menu is primarily pizza, and some appetizers. Just went again while visiting family in town, and enjoyed the pizza and the beer. This place still gets my two-thumbs up for a great micro brew!

Dueling Dogs has a wide variety of beer, cider, and mead. The server was exceptional and based on my likes selected the perfect beer for me. The flight was a great price for a good amount. The food was amazing! We had their August speciality pizza, boneless wings, and pretzel sticks with beer cheese that was so yummy we could eat it like soup! The inside was a buzz with music trivia and outside there were many options for seating. We will be back for sure!

Surprisingly my aunt and I did not come here for the beer. We saw that they have a pumpkin patch open this season and decided to check it out. Located in Lincoln, I believe there are other breweries in the area as well. This brewery is a hidden gem! They have a huge pond and plenty of outdoor seating. The inside of the brewery was well air-conditioned. Plenty of parking available up top by the pond or closer by the entrance. The pumpkin patch was so cutely decorated and kid friendly. They have a wonderful selection of pre-picked pumpkins in so many different autumn hues. We got the chance to actually pick our own pumpkins from the actual pumpkin patch on site. It was easy to do, just twist and pull. It was very hot that day so I'm glad we were able to get it done early. The owners of the pumpkin patch were great! Turns out they own a winery close by. We did stop in for some pizza before heading out. The inside of the brewery was completely decked out in Halloween decor, it was awesome! The Margherita pizza was delicious! It was a thin pizza, not thick and is easily shareable for 2 people.The next time my aunt and I are in the area, we'll have to come back to try the beer!

This is mixed review for me because we stopped here on the Placer Valley Wine Trail. Dueling Dogs was not on my radar but I will say that their mead is top-notch! I had tried their PB & J Mead and it was so flavorful!! LIKE OMG THIS IS PB & J in a beer! Get a flight and try things because I did not have anything that I didn't like! Atmosphere is cute for dog-lovers but the seating was kinda awkward. Also, they only serve food at certain times, which we end buying a bag of pretzels because we were so hungry.

This place is so friggin cool..The parking is super easy super close they have both staits and a ramp so either way your covered. They have a total of two bathrooms which are for men and women. They have so many beers on tap, I went with a party of four and we must have gotten around 20 beers total..It was a brewery so many to choose from. They also had a Mexican food truck yum we all got a different order so delicious so good. They had live music mainly 70's with a few of today's hits it was an epic jam for sure..The service was super quick..The food was great the beers were delicious and the price for the whole day was amazing..If you haven't been check out Duelling dogs..So many dogs because they are allowed..so get your pet on,your drink on and your dance on no cover no parking fee..

Here is what is good about DD... they have a NO KIDS ZONE... (the beer is also pretty good...) which I think is going to be the new advertising focal point for many breweries moving forward. There are just TOO many breweries neglecting their core audience... the beer drinker...

Terrible experience today. Extremely rude staff, including one lady who came out of nowhere saying over and over again we are not climbing the trees or picking fruit in a very condescending tone. Nobody nobody was going to climb trees or looked like they were climbing trees. If you don't want someone picking a piece of fruit off of a tree that is in the common seating area, perhaps put up a sign?Coming here feels like you are an unwelcome houseguest. The entire vibe was off.

We love Dueling Dogs! We love the beer, pizza, and dog friendly vibe. We love sitting and enjoying a beer outdoors there and appreciate being able to have our pup with us. The Dora Dain pumpkin patch there is a fall tradition for our family as well! We have two kids ages 6 and 8, and we've never had a problem here with our kids getting scolded as others have mentioned. That being said, we do not let them run around unsupervised here, we do not let them try to interact with the animals, and we do not let them climb trees or pick fruit. What if everybody did that? This is a family friendly place, but common sense should prevail. If you are looking for a place to let your kids run around and do whatever they want, this isn't it. And who could blame Dueling Dogs? This is their home and their property. They want to keep it nice and for everyone to be safe. All in all, grab your dog and kids and enjoy the quiet rural setting. Grab a beer and pizza. It's a great spot!
