Trumer Taproom - Berkeley, California

My drink always starts with a pilsner beer. Pilsner beer is great way to start the first round of drinking
Trumer Pilsner beers are light-bodied, golden-colored lagers.

It has very crisp, clean, and refreshing taste to it.
Hoppy #5 has floral, fruity aromas to it. This is one of my top tastes.
They surely know what temperature/condition beer should be served at!

Chill place, good atmosphere with patio sitting as well. It would have been a better experience if I was not served with a cold pretzel after waiting for 25, maybe close to 30 minutes. But that is not what bothered me the most, what did really bother me is that dogs(maybe all pets(?)) are allowed inside, I am not sure why... is it that we are all supposed to like animals in the food/drink establishment? Perhaps I will stick to bottled pilsner.

Hands down my wife and I's favorite brewery.

From the second you enter you're greeted with amazing people working the tap room - truly passionate and genuine people who make you feel at home.

The beer as others have said, is truly amazing (the Festbock my wife puts in her top 3 favorite beers of all time). Do the flight to get a nice variety - haven't had a beer here that I didn't enjoy.

In addition to the amazing employees and beer - the food is the best food we've ever had at a taproom. From the pretzels with beer cheese (the best), to the Bratwurst Bites to the Siracha Chile Wings - everything always comes out hot and flavorful.

Lastly, get some merchandise while there - all high quality and reasonably priced. The last 2 times we've been here they have had a variety of T-shirts, Glasses and Hoodies. Hoping one day they get some Tin Tackers made to add to my wall of breweries at home.

If you like beer and want an amazing experience - definitely check out Trumer. It's a staple every time my wife and I are in Berkeley.

Fantastic! What a great addition to West Berkeley. Been so excited to try it since opening this fall and finally got to today. Beautiful, modern, airy but not too industrial space, in an industrial place. Gorgeous, huge back patio with plenty of seating and space heaters for everyone, even on a cold, windy day like today.

Food menu is small but totally effective, with choices that seem flexible for vegetarians as well. Theme of course is Bavarian snacks, so brats, deviled eggs, wings with a delicious mustard sauce, charcuterie board, warm potato salad, and soft, warm pretzels are on offer. Even vegans get a shot with what looks like a tasty bowl, which I hope is warm but it didn't specify. Kids have pigs in a blanket if they don't mind their food touching. My kids only likes pigs and blankets separated, lol. Ketchup might have helped but they have mustard (eww, mom, no).

Trumer afficianados and new to the brand folks will be equally pleased, as the beer menu encompasses many different traditional German styles of beer, including the pilsner they're most famous for. Fresh off the tap is the way to go, and the Schwarzbier also did not disappoint. They will just serve you the large size unless you specify the smaller size ($6/9), just FYI.

The service was outstanding - a rare joy these days - and so go here and be pleasantly surprised at the hospitality and welcome you receive! Top notch today with the staff on deck.

The neighborhood has seen better days but might Trumer Taproom be one anchor of a Renaissance?

Blown away by this brewery! Some of the best beer I've had in a long time. I was also extremely happy to see Trumer Pils in Chicago, where I live. It's my new go-to 12 pack!!

Love this brewery for their amazing beer. So stoked when they opened this location last year. The pretzels, mustard, brats, pierogies and potato salad are fantastic. Great wines too. Can't go wrong here. Indoor and outdoor seating. Heaters on patio and great decor.

My review today is based on a store purchased Trumer Pils. I honestly love this beer however, my purchase was very bitter and would never recommend this beer if they always tasted this way.
