Mid day, chill spot; and they have a black lager (perfect for 103°F). Perfect for that afternoon beer. I'll be back.

Best beer in the Davis area. I like the outdoor space better at other places but strictly from a beer standpoint, Dunloe takes the cake. Everything is really well-balanced, I even enjoy their IPAs which I don't usually drink because most of them are aggressively hopped. So excited they're expanding into a downtown location that I have yet to visit yet but will definitely make it there soon enough.

SQUEEEEE!!!! Another micro brewery! I'm going to do a preliminary review on this. However, great deal more research is needed. First, let me say that they had a couple of very nice IPAs. Of course this is my favorite. The Mello was very balanced with both Citra and mosaic hops . It's a nice easy drinking IPA with almost a floral overtone. Fantastic! Say hello sunshine is a nice sour. I love that they had a lot of cans available for most of their beers. It's nice to be able to enjoy things at home as well. The only thing that I would love to see is the ability to get a tasting flight at some point. While you can certainly ask for a taste, I like being able to sit down and try bunch of different things. Welcome to Davis, Dunlop! We are very happy to have you here.

I really enjoyed the beer here and chatting with brewer Brandon. I'm looking forward to a return trip the next time I'm in Davis. I learned some things about the beer industry while there. I will add that I took a couple bottles of the barrel aged stout Jig of Death home and Brandon could raise the prices. I would have happily paid a couple bucks more per bottle.

As soon as you walk through the door you are greeted by the two border collies, I love border collies. There are 8 beers on tap and we tried a beer sampler for $15, you simply choose which two you do not want. Our group was seated at a table outside so I had difficulty carrying the full sampler board out there. Calls through the glass door out to my husband were not heard so luckily a young man sitting inside saw my plight and opened the door for me. Perhaps that door can be changed to a swinging door that can be locked when the bar is closed but doesn't latch during open hours. Now as to the beers, my husband and I only liked two of our six, turns out we don't like sours so this style isn't for us but we enjoyed the atmosphere and the dogs. Their parking area has one stall for handicap parking and about four other spaces but we and our friends had no problem parking on the street.

We were in the area hoping my mother in law out and decided she needed to pay us in beer, naturally! We also needed to get another passport stamp. We drove by and missed it and then missed it when we came back around so my only suggestion would be to put a sign out next to the sidewalk to make it stand out. We walked in and were warmly greeted by the brewers adorable dogs, this is my favorite type of greeting =) Dogs are always welcome in my life. The brewer/owner, Brennan, was pouring in the tap room the day we were there. He was very engaging and friendly. He helped us decide which beers we wanted to drink and he even kept handing me healthy samples to try since I never can make up my mind. I appreciated this. I love the names of the beers, they made me literally LOL. I appreciate their sense of humor. I originally came here because I had previously had tried the "Pocket Taco" at a taproom in Isleton. My favorites this trip included the "Fastest Man in the Traffic Jam" and "California Hello w/ Watermelon & Grapefruit." Which by the way has the funnest came, it teaches you how to do the "California Hello." Brennan was even nice enough to bust out one of the few cans in the back he had hiding of "Pocket Taco." We will definitely be back soon, I need to try some of new beers they'll be introducing including a different "California Hello." And get a "California Hello" t-shirt. PS- yes parking is very limited but I promise its worth the walk.

Went during a super hot summer day and the beers were very refreshing. There is a large variety of beers and the prices are decent for the volume. The aesthetics inside are very casual, giving relaxing chill vibes, perfect for a brewery. There are wooden tables and barrels you can sit at. If you love dogs, this is the place for you. The owners pets casually roam around looking super cute. If you're allergic, stay away because they might rub against you.
