Procreations Brewing Company

Visited Fresno for a Fozzy concert and did a mini beer tour and landed at Procreations. I have to say I was really impressed by their no frills, low light environment and interesting beer menu. I don’t usually review beer because it can be such an individual experience, but I tried five or six different beers and was sincerely impressed. My designated driver was so curious regarding my reactions, he had to try them himself.

They have an outdoor patio area. They sell swag. They sell to go beer. The low lighting is reminiscent of a speakeasy and creates a nice ambiance. Restrooms were clean. If you’re planning on taking kids, I would sit outside. However, if they are small and stroller bound, they are likely to fall asleep indoors.

So proud to say we were there very first ever Live show and let me tell you. It was amazing. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, the locals that were there were very cool, the beer was amazing. The fact that they have fruit flavored beer and it’s not overpowering was awesome,safe to say we definitely would love to come back here to perform and even just to drink thank you guys for an amazing show. We love you.

Ok, went to this brewery recently and gotta say, I was impressed with the selection of beer and the taste of them. This place has great beer! I can’t wait to go back! You need to check it out and meet the people there! Great service!

We got the POG, the Honey Bee and the WC IPA. All were fantastic! The owner/brewer was very friendly. Would highly recommend coming here and grabbing a beer.

Solid beer for decent price. Tried 4 different beers, all were solid but nothing blew me away and that's not bad either. Better to have good beer across the board than just 1 or 2 good beers next to a list of weak beers. Good stop before a grizzly game or for a chill afternoon.

Great place to play board games or you can bring your own games also. Good for play groups like Magic the Gathering players, they have tables and chairs. You can also drink beer. It would be nice if the also served nonalcoholic beer!

This was a really nice little bar, totally unsuspecting from the shop front. Went there for a date to drink and chat but the bar tender brought over a game to us and everything. Said over 800 board games. The oatmeal stout on tap was absolutely delicious. I don't think I'd bring a first date here again, but definitely a game night for like 3 couples? This place is perfect for that with its big tables

I always look forward to my bi-monthly DnD night at Beer for the Meeples. The atmosphere is always very friendly, and this actually where I had my first-ever Dungeons and Dragons session. I've now been playing for almost a year and a half. I highly recommend this place if you want to just have some beers and play some board games, or if you want to make some friends playing longer-term games.

places/ChIJDxnYOntdlIARIZOt6zWJDro/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURnLXNyd1V3EAE

First time going here. Walked in and walked right out.
First thing when you walk in is the SMELL. it literally has an EXTREMELY strong human sweat dirty odor..like old thrift stores but 10x stronger smell. It smells like a crowd of people who has not showered in daysssss that all gathered together and sits there for HOURS on end. I mean come on, staff working there cannot be telling me they can’t smell that? No air ventilation in that place? Febreeze the shizz out of that place once in a while maybe? Or no, keep multiple automatic air freshener spray! Maybe keep door open at all times with a HUGE fan blowing the air out? or idk hang a sign that says if no shower, no service.

Second, the place is poorly designed. They have long tables that can fit probably 6-8 people? But, 2 people would be sitting at those table with their dang gameboard spread all across each end of the table.  So you don’t even have a place to sit! This place has potentials but they really need to better manage the place. Especially the smell!! My nose hair is still recovering from being fried from the smell.

Until this place makes better improvements, 2 stars is given (considering they did seem to have a lot of game boards and could be a good place to enjoy an hour or two with a friend)

Awesome atmosphere and great beer! We tried “Shoot the sun down” an amber lager and “Excess ain’t rebellion” a cheesecake sour ale - both were on point. There’s games in the tasting room to keep patrons entertained and beautiful artwork on the walls. Highly recommended this brewery to anyone interested in hanging out and enjoying some craft beers!

Update: 2024
Here we are, almost two years later, back in the area and visiting.
Another round of fantastic samplers and good company. I see there are several fun games added around the tables. Would be fun to return when the food trucks are outside!

2022
Such a variety of crafted beer and, large samplers!  The space is decorated pleasantly and parking is easy. Al (one of the owners) was super friendly and genuinely cared about our thoughts on each taste and spent some time educating us on the process and ingredients. He loves what he does! and opening this Brewing Company is a dream come true for him. In fact, the logo, he explained, is a symbol of their passion for craft brewing.  We also very much appreciated that our German Shephard was welcomed, with a smile. This is a cheerful and laid-back place and we will be returning. PS we were able to bring in our own cheese & crackers packaging with no problem.
I also understand that they are now openings on Thursdays.

The staff is welcoming and they brew their own beer and ales. The Nintendo and other games are a plus if you want a fun game night with your drinks. However, the place smelled like B.O.

If you're looking for a modern twist on the classic dive bar, this spot hits all the right notes. The vibe is laid-back and unpretentious, but with just enough polish to feel fresh. The service is incredibly friendly — the kind of place where the bartenders remember your name and your drink. Speaking of drinks, they’re well crafted, tasty, and priced right. Whether you're sipping a craft cocktail or sticking with a cold beer, you're getting serious bang for your buck. It's the perfect mix of old-school charm and updated comfort — a new favorite for sure.

Absolutely top notch beers! Super friendly folks.  Cody, one of the owners/brewers, talked to me about all their beers.  Their Dryad’s West Coast IPA was phenomenal and their flagship hazy IPA, Clouds of Olympus, was first rate! Would put their beers up there with all the big name west coast breweries! Should have food trucks in a few weeks.

Great open space and friendly vibe. Van Ness Village Pale Ale was super sharp and tasty. Highly recommend. One of those drinkable pale ales you can keep ordering.  Another great flavor was their mall rat orange vanilla hazy ipa. It’s like a hoppy creamsicle. Not overly tricked up and hits very fresh and clean.

This a great beer place with many local and non local beers on tap.  Friendly staff.  And they just added in cocktails with a bartender!  Live music too.  Nothing too fancy buy clean and nice.  Note that finding it the first time seemed strange in the industry area and through a fence gate.  Been here a few times and now can satisfy those non beer drinkers with their full bar.  Nice hang out with bunch of sports TVs and outside patio (when it's not so hot)

We had an amazing experience at The Tap and Cellar, and I have to give a special shoutout to Glory, our bartender. Her service was absolutely outstanding — she was attentive, knowledgeable, and took the time to personally recommend drinks that fit our tastes perfectly. Glory’s warm and friendly demeanor made our visit even more enjoyable, and she truly elevated the whole experience.
If you decide to visit The Tap and Cellar, do yourself a favor and ask for Glory at the bar. You won’t be disappointed! The atmosphere is chill and inviting, with great beer and wine selections, but it’s Glory’s exceptional service that really makes this place stand out. Highly recommend!

I recently checked out this venue and it was overall a great experience. They had live music and plenty of taps going to serve brews quickly. They had tons of seating inside and outside along with two food trucks to choose from. It was also dog friendly which was a bonus. Great spot to hangout at as it was a good vibe. I enjoyed their IPA as well. I’d certainly go back.

Interesting location; in a good way. The place has a very industrial vibe. The staff was friendly and engaging. This place was super busy for a Wednesday! They have a couple of food trucks outside that you can order food from and they give you a pager to let you know your food's ready so you can go out and get it and then bring it inside to enjoy food along with your beer. They have two unisex bathrooms along with a sink station outside of the bathrooms where you can wash your hands. As an FYI, you go up to the bar to order your beverage of choice; you can leave your tab open or close it out. Once you get your beverage you can find seating; they have plenty of seating inside and outside.

Came up from Monterey for a graduation party and stayed the night. Day after was Father’s Day, so I hit up C&W. This place completely blew away my expectations! It is ENORMOUS. Has everything you would expect at a brewery - swag, to go beer, ambience. I never really rate breweries by the beer they make because it can be so personal, but wow!

What a jewel inside of a Middletown America type vibe city.

This place had some of the best pizza I have ever had in my life! And I’ve had a lot of good pizza. It has some really good brews as well.

I had the pepperoni pizza, an Irish red ale, a Mexican lager, and a Michelada. Only drawback that I could say was that they don’t allow you to alter the pizza. They allow you to take away something that’s on it, but they don’t allow you to add anything to it.

If you ever find yourself in the middle of nowhere, Fresno, you have to check this place out. You will thank me later.

First time here. We arrived around 2pm on a Sunday and it started getting busy after we arrived. It is a pleasant atmosphere. It has nice decor and while it is an old building, the interior is modern. They have several beers on tap including a sour beer. The pizza comes in one size. My son had the pepperoni and olive while we had the G.O.A.T. Pizzas can range from $18-$20. The pizzas were good. We would come back again.

Good place to have a beer and hang out with friends. Located in a part of town that I never visit but I think I would come back. The different beers is something a big drinker would enjoy. I know that people that I was with enjoyed the beers. I on the other hand enjoyed the food. The pizzas were very good. I had the Lumberjack pizza, pickle pizza, and a simple pepperoni pizza. The pizzas tasted like it could’ve been prepared in a brick oven. I definitely would take these pizzas over Pieology or Blaze. The pizzas I would compare it to was Mod Pizza who sadly closed due to prevailing minimum wage issues.  I would recommend if you want to go and hang out, have a few beers, and eat some good unhealthy food.

Awesome brewery , great staff , just not my kind of pizza . Great setting in Downtown Fresno. Ordered the Cheesy Garlic Focaccia and pub pretzel as an appetizer and the Classic Margherita, Pepperoni, and Pepperoni & Olive pizza The apps were middle of the road , pretzel had a good taste . I came for the pizza and overall gave a 5.4 for all three pies. The chassis was very doughy and had massive Fresno Flop . Taste was pretty good, but definitely not what I was hoping for. Again, great staff and looked like a good place to have a frosty beer, just not a great pie..

Visited Fresno for the first time this weekend. Stopped at this brewery on Sunday before we headed out of town.  Good beer, cool outside area, appears to be located just a block from the minor league baseball stadium.  Staff was friendly, bathrooms were clean, had plenty of games for the kids, and the beer was delicious.  They were hosting a taco food truck and that was delicious as well.  Will stop again if we are in the area.

good beer, awful service. it was my first time at tioga and as I was purchasing a michelada pitcher for my table, the bartender was extremely rude. When I first asked for the pitcher, he didn't even answer and just walked away and (I assume) asked one of the other bartenders a question? while he spun the iPad around and I paid. After a few mins he came back to ask questions like what kind of beer/mix and was constantly rolling his eyes, looking very annoyed as I answered. He looked visibly upset because we asked to switch the miche mix for the spicy cucumber one. What's worse is that I paid beforehand and left a tip but he didn't even deserve it. Tried to brush it off and went back for another drink, and again the bartender was rude. My first time here left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Can I just start by saying that I have been to probably 500 breweries and have never had friendlier help than at Summer Fox. I have worked for Costco for over 30 years, so going the extra mile for member service is always on my mind. So when a business has employees that actually care, genuinely listen when they ask how you are doing, offer insight and suggestions when you’re having trouble making a decision on which beer to choose… these guys and gals deserve a raise. My wife works for Costco as well and we both noticed the EXEMPLARY service.

Summer Fox is a nice, large brewery with a plethora of options for your taste buds. My wife doesn’t like beer, but they had something for her too.

Lots of swag, lots of seating, clean restrooms. Did I mention one of those CLAW arcade games? But instead of stuffed animals it has empty beer cans. I played and won! (I think you win a $2 beer of your choice. Can’t remember.)

Great place. And again, the service was simply outstanding.

From the friendly service to the numerous TV’s, video games, jukebox, darts, board games, to the super inviting couches in the corner. this place just feels like you’re hanging out in your living room, but with a bartender.  It’s my new favorite spot!

Solid tap room with good selection of beers, cool people, comfortable industrial environment, and a sense of humor.

Pros: Pliny The Elder and other solid regional players show off on the beer list. Priced fairly too. Dark/cozy lighting. Lots of TVs for sports viewing. Table games and vintage console games are available plus and there’s a lounge area in the back dedicated to Nick Effing Cage (wooo!). No kitchen but they have connections with the other restaurants in the area and you can easily order pizza, etc on your tab.

Cons: no Wi-Fi. I know, I know, but it’s about thhe only fault I could find in my first visit here.

Definitely will be coming back.

Fantastic neighborhood tap room with a great selection and friendly atmosphere. There are also fun activities and they are family friendly and pet friendly! Give them a shot if you haven't yet.

Super cool Brewery / Restaurant.  Glad we stopped in here for dinner on Friday night.  We showed up at around 7:30 pm and waited for about 15 minutes for an outside table for four.  The beer was great, the food was delicious.  We had a pretzel as an appetizer which was devoured because it was delicious.  I had the nashville hot chicken sandwich which was great, not too spicy but overall tasted great.  My wife had the blacken chicken strawberry salad (on their seasonal menu).  She loved it.  Overall, we had a great experience, our waiter was very friendly.

On our way home after a busy day in Fresno we decided to try the Mad Duck at the suggestion of some friends.  The staff was very accommodating with their opinion and suggestions.

My wife ordered the Fish & chips.  Instead of fries, she got the cucumber salad.  It was a mixture of cucumber, sliced cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a spicy Italian dressing.  It was good but the red pepper flakes serrated from the freshness of the salad.

I had the turkey club.  It definitely fit into the category of a Dagwood because it was so thick.  The sliced avocado elevated this tasty sandwich.  I got the curly fries.  I think I had a higher anticipation for them them.  However, they were just basic curly fries.

I do have a huge recommendation if you want to try something tasty and refreshing.  I had the watermelon mint aqua. It was fresh and really made my day.

The atmosphere is that of a trendy pub/restaurant.

I definitely suggest you give it a try and let me know your thoughts.

Nicely decorated brew pub with soft music playing. Not real loud inside. Clean and plenty of tables. Full bar as well. They have plenty of their beers on tap.

Went with a party of six, but I will just do the rating for myself.

Service was not bad, Kaelyn did an okay job of serving us. She could have been a little more friendly. I also had to wait for a second beer for a bit. Maybe she was not happy about us being there for so long, but it was a reunion of family.

I ordered an Almond Brown Ale which was quite nice. The second was the Octavian DIPA, pretty decent.

I chose the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich. Good toppings and bun, but the chicken seemed a tad overdone. Garlic fries were extra but sure were good.

The manager gave us some stickers and bottle openers, very nice. Thank you, Jackie!

Had a lunch with a friend and I’m so glad we picked this place. Service was friendly and we got a table quickly. The atmosphere was great. Not too loud so we could have a good conversation.

We split the grilled steak bites. They were so juicy and I loved the sauces they came with. I got the sliders and a side of fries while she got the nachos. I would definitely dine here again.

First time trying this place and wasn’t very impressed.  The buffalo chicken dip was ok, a little cold. For the entree I ordered the turkey burger, flavor wasn’t really there plus it was on the raw side.

This is a great place for reasonable priced food that is actually better then the cost, the beer is well made and great variety (Im a "serious" beer drinker) and their plenty of tasty choices.  I even bought a groller to take home.  Decent number of TVs with sports on.   Large ceiling make the place feel open.  Bartender Dave was extremely helpful and friendly.  This is gonna be my "local" go to for food, beer and sports!

Parking lot.

Great outdoor seating. Able to fit a party of 22

Didn’t wait long for food to served. Food tasted great & decent portions. Waiter kept drinks refilled with out having to ask.

Didn’t use restroom.

Not too pricey.

The food was good but our server was great. We enjoyed but once again they don't tell you in advance that there is a service charge. The restaurant business is a SERVICE business so why the charge? If I'm told in advance I can decide to eat there or not.

places/ChIJw5-_CABDlIARRHOO4Fix_Ic/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VLYWhvTHVUOU9fcjNRRRAB

We ordered the lulu hamburger. This was a disaster!!! The combination of feta cheese and the burger meat just doesn’t cut it. The spread on the bun which was some sort of yogurt and god knows what just didn’t go with the over all taste I wonder if the chef tried this burger?? Please remove from your menu. The second plate was the grilled fish taco. Dry as a bone. The mango was green and has no taste and the fish was grilled to a shoe leather consistency. In conclusion. Very disappointed.

Out of the Barrel

places/ChIJZ3YgZNlnlIARJLu5oQtMicY/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURRbEtDZ2FnEAE

I’m extremely disappointed with my experience at Out of the Barrel. My friend and I were enjoying our time with our very friendly and well-behaved pit bull, who was kindly playing with another dog. Despite this, the staff rudely approached us, accused our dog of being aggressive (which multiple bystanders disagreed with), and kicked us out in an unnecessarily hostile manner. To make things worse, they insulted us, calling us drunk—an absolutely false and inappropriate accusation.

This was nothing short of discrimination and an embarrassing display of poor customer service. Many people around us vouched that our dog was nothing but sweet, yet we were still treated with disrespect and forced to leave. If this is how they handle customers, I won’t be coming back, and I highly suggest others reconsider supporting a place that treats people this way. Truly disappointing.

places/ChIJZ3YgZNlnlIARJLu5oQtMicY/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNnaXU2RjhRRRAB

Out of the Barrel? More like out of ideas. This place promised a craft beer experience but delivered a masterclass in mediocrity. The beer tasted like it was brewed with a sense of obligation rather than passion—like someone handed a spreadsheet to a brewer and said, 'Make this, but make it sad.' The ambiance? Imagine a garage sale meets a frat basement, but with fewer functioning lights. And don’t get me started on the service—our server seemed to be on a quest to set a world record for 'Least Eye Contact Made While Taking an Order.' If disappointment were a flavor, this place would have it on tap. Cheers to never coming back!" 🍻

Edit: the owner is right and I want to thank him for the fact that he is being a responsible bar owner. Thank you! Would recommend now!

We have walked by this place probably five times and always wanted to stop in but had the kids with us so could not. Next time we're even going to take the dog.  It's a great place that you can bring your own food or order in from local restaurants and have a fantastic time enjoying local craft brews.  I enjoyed the local ciders, and Vicky enjoyed the Honey Pot Blonde IPA on tap.

I'm going to give 4 stars here because I'm not qualified enough as a beer drinker to critique their selections.  I enjoyed a beer here last week with an ABV of 9% and got pretty buzzed.  I really like the bar (the actual wood bar they serve you on inside) and I've always found the bartenders to be knowledgeable with good barside manners.  You can confide in them that your liver #'s are elevated and your recent liver scan shows "significant scarring" and you'll get no condemnation from them: they'll still ply you with all the beer you can drink ;)

Pretty awesome spot to get a brew. Tried a couple different types and finally settled on the Citrus Cooler #29. Looks like they are expanding the outdoor seating area. Will definitely be back 🍺

Great First Experience at Mad Duck

Stopped in for the first time on a Thursday evening and had a great experience. The menu was smaller than expected, but the quality made up for it. We started with the calamari appetizer—crispy, well-seasoned, and paired with flavorful dipping sauces. Easily one of the highlights of the meal.

I ordered the steak salad and was genuinely impressed. The dressing had a nice tang, the greens were fresh, and the bold flavor of the blue cheese complemented the tender steak beautifully. The other entrée at our table was the Goat Cheese & Bacon Burger,  which got high praise for its rich and savory flavor profile.

The Citra beer was easy-drinking and smooth, with a clean flavor that paired well with the food. Refreshing without being too heavy.

Service was excellent—our server, Jesse, was intuitive to our needs and stayed attentive throughout the evening without hovering.

All in all, solid food, great drinks, and welcoming service. I’d definitely go back.

I ordered a wellness cocktail during happy hour for $5. I asked what drinks are included in a "wellness cocktail" waitress said she could do crown and diet coke as wellness cocktail. I was charged $9 and when I asked about the charge, the waitress said it was her mistake but there's nothing she can do about it after checking with her manager. My crispy chicken was over cooked, dry, fried with fish fry and the salad was unseasoned. No salt and pepper shakers at the table. Table wobbled so much our drinks spilled. $28 for this want worth it. I will not be returning

the food was good, I got a french dip sandwich with goat cheese added. the fries was really good too.

I also got a drink from there which was the alcoholic elderberry one, I really enjoyed that a lot and I wish I got more drinks haha. this place is type of place I would go back for, the reason why i’m giving 4 stars is because the menu was kinda hard to decide but I understand why. it might be kinda hard for picky eaters to choose except for the chicken tender and fries they have on the menu.

Good place for a beer, lots of options, a live band was playing this Saturday not sure if that is a regular thing but it was nice to see.

A few game options,

Horrible customer service.  We've been here quite a few times and the bartenders are always rude. I've tried to give it pass,  because people are allowed to have bad days,  but it's been constant.  The best customer service in there comes from the servers bringing our order from Yardhouse! They literally walk over our order from Yardhouse and they are always cheerful and happy to help us. Tighten up Barrelhouse

They were not going to let me back in after stepping out for a phone call!  I had been there an hour! I get they were enforcing some sort of crowd limits... but NO ONE TOLD ME AND NO SIGNS WERE POSTED WHEN I LEFT!  Terrible PR!  The manager had the nerve to act like I was the unreasonable because I wanted to step back in and join my husband.If my husband didn't love this band so much I would leave and never come back!My husband was 50 feet from me and their horrible management wasn't going to let me back in.  The manager came off so arrogant, he does not belong in that position.

They have the Starwberry Berliner for the folks who want a good sour beer. The wife loves it because it doesn't taste like "beer". So for you folks who are not a fan of beer, give this one a try.

Bad business practices too, such as disgusting bathrooms and a homeless-looking dude behind the bar. WOULD AVOID AT ALL COSTS!
