Mike Hess Brewing Alpine - (Near Alpine, CA)

5 /5 Rodrigo Chavez: Don’t let the trolls keep you from hanging out here. There is not a better place to chill back in Alpine. The service is always friendly and attentive — Katie was especially cool with us today. The beer and food are correspondingly always good. Btw they switched to beef tallow for their fries last week. Brothers and sisters, yea verily, these fries are the truth.

4 /5 Luis A.: This brewery is absolutely worth the visit. Their “Guava Have It” is a crushable, juicy, hazy beer with a smooth finish that keeps you wanting more. The Lone Pine Double IPA delivers a stronger, bold flavor that balances perfectly with their food. The snacks complete the experience: • Buffalo wings – great crisp and flavor • Pub smash burger – juicy, well-seasoned and filling The atmosphere is relaxed, perfect for hanging out with friends or enjoying good beer on your own. Staff knows their beers well and can guide you depending on your taste.

2 /5 Yemff: It seems like Mike Hess is actively trying to make the food/menu worse. When they first opened they got rid of the bbq, ok understandable since that was alpine beers menu. Then they got rid of things like meatballs, spinach dip, bagel bites, meatball sandwich, torpedo sandwich. They also used to change the specials pretty regularly, and there was always something worth trying when they took all the good stuff off the menu, but now it’s monthly specials and they usually suck. So basically all there is now are burgers and pizza, the only pizza I like they removed and now they nickel and dime you by charging $3 to add fries or a salad to your burger. And the bathroom by dominoes is a complete disaster, excrement and trash all over the place, no soap, looks like it hasn’t been cleaned in 5 years since they opened it. Been going here regularly for years but I doubt I’ll be back.

1 /5 Sal B: What happened to this place? We used to love going here for dinner or lunch + live music but they changed it all. Whose genius idea was that? New menu is awful too, they took off everything we used to come here for. Sorry to say we wont be going back, its just not the same. Looking for better food + music + atmosphere somewhere else.
