“Buck Wild is definitely worth checking out. It is our favorite gluten-free brewery in the US that we’ve tried so far!’
Buck Wild Brewing in Downtown Oakland is a must-go-to gluten-free brewery with a fantastic food menu. Their motto, "craft beer for all," is true to their mission and their gluten-free beers are some of the best we've tried.
The baja fish tacos ($12) and fish and chips ($15) were both dairy-free, were delicious. With a fun atmosphere, including live music and stand-up comedy, Buck Wild is definitely worth checking out. It is our favorite gluten-free brewery in the US that we’ve tried so far!
We also visited Buck Wild during the SF Beer Week and did a tour that was in conjunction with Mariposa Baking Company. For the tour, we met with the head brewer at Buck Wild and he walked us through every step of the beer-making process. WE walked through all of their equipment and were able to look inside the vats and vessels. We also got to see the incoming grains they use and even try beer at different stages of the process (before fermentation, before filtration, etc). The fresh beer flavor was so interesting to try and compare with it after it’s canned.
On the tour, we were able to try several of their new flavors that they have coming out!
Following the walking aspect of the tour, we tried a flight of beers that had been previously paired with different bakery items from Mariposa Baking Company. It was so interesting to learn about how the flavors of beer and desserts complimented each other or brought out different flavors.
Buck Wild was such a fun experience in SF! IF you’re ever there when they’re doing a tour, I would highly recommend it! I’m also hoping they start shipping to where we live someday.
