Los Gatos, California · Since 1991

Great food,
great beer,
back on tap.

The brewpub that made North Santa Cruz Avenue smell like fresh malt is coming back. Same copper kettles, same double-cut pork chop, same bar you remember.

Our Story

A watering hole with a long memory

The Los Gatos Brewing Company was established in 1991 to quench the growing thirst for native Los Gatos brews. As news of our diner's pub spread, beer drinkers from far and wide came to sample our lagers and feast from our gourmet menu. Serving only the freshest and finest in California cuisine, The Los Gatos Brewing Company soon became the fashionable watering hole and premier eatery it is today.

On Tap

The beer list

Brewed in the cellar below the dining room. Six house beers, plus whatever the brewer is chasing that season.

Dutchman's Helles

4.8% ABV
Munich Lager

Soft, bready, and gone too fast. The beer that got the neighborhood in the door in 1991.

Cats Amber

5.4% ABV
Amber Ale

Caramel malt, dry finish. Built for the pork chop and anything off the grill.

Santa Cruz Ave IPA

6.7% ABV
West Coast IPA

Pine and grapefruit, bitter the way it used to be. No apologies.

Brewmaster's Hefeweizen

5.1% ABV
Bavarian Wheat

Banana, clove, cloudy pour. Served with a lemon only if you ask.

Cellar Porter

5.9% ABV
Robust Porter

Coffee, cocoa, a little smoke. Poured cool, not cold, from November on.

Seasonal Tap

Ask the bar
Rotating

Märzen in fall, maibock in spring, and one experiment the brewer refuses to name.
