Visited this place occasionally since it opened. Food has always been good. Beer has constantly improved. Just had the Porter, which was surprisingly good for a brewer who who mostly does lighter beers and the usual IPAs. For me, its primary attraction is that it is close to Staff of Life, the best specialty market in town. Wonderful fresh organic produce, much of it grown nearby.
It was excellent on a rainy day to come here and have the deepest porter and a red ale!! The staff was very knowledgeable and friendly. Love the atmosphere and art for sale on the walls. They have merch I'll definitely be back for!
My family and I enjoyed our first visit here. We loved the food, staff, indoor/outdoor seating, and that our fur babies could join us! We have yet to try the beer/drinks. The Turkey pesto sandwich is the BOMB and exactly the way my daughter and I like it… even better!
Sensational brewery. The beet salad was transformational as was the yuzu beer snd the strawberry beer. Run dont walk to Fruition brewery.
We had a nice night at Fruition! They have a wide and varied selection of delicious beers. I was excited to see oysters available at a brewery. They were very fresh and served with a Thai chili mignonette. I also tried the deluxe grilled cheese. YUM!
We had a great time here. Their beer is very good and there is a lot of variety. Half the menu was sold out when we arrived, but it wasn't long before the kitchen closed, so that's probably understandable. The food we did have was very good! We enjoyed the outdoor dining with our dog and even got to hear some love music. We will be back some time.
I just stopped in today and I was greeted nicely and told there was a Lager Tap Takeover going on this week. They offered Lagers from other well known breweries, but I liked the ones they brewed on site. I wanted to have more, good thing they have cans to go!
Tasty beers with a great variety of in-house beers and some guest ciders and wines. The sour “snack” series ones we had were particularly popular around the table. Nice outdoor dining area. Heard some enjoyable live folk music while we were there. Service was great, food was pretty solid too even though half the menu was sold out (we were there just before closing on a Sunday evening.) Dog-friendly. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back.
We had the pleasure of going to Fruition on Monday for Martin Luther King when they had a pop-up barbecue witb Casa ____. The food from the pop-up was excellent. We love the outdoor seating and picnic tables. It was an ideal day to sit outside and enjoy the weather with our beer and BBQ. The man behind the counter with the brewery was so nice and let me try 3 or 4 different beers, really worked with me to satisfy my tastes. The atmosphere is family oriented with several tables for the children to run around while the parents could enjoy company with other families. Definitely want to try them again! We look forward to going back so we can try the food served by the restaurant and of course have some more beer.
Excellent Fast Casual restaurant in East Watsonville. Great tasting selection of beers and beverages. The most tasty Citrus Beet Salad and Grilled Cheese sandwiches. Nice outdoor patio as well as inside dining is available. Friendly, courteous, and patient customer service by the order taker. Fresh Oysters too. We will definitely be back.
