Humboldt Regeneration - McKinleyville

Owner was very knowledgeable about beers and clearly has a lot of popular beers served in other restaurants and brewpubs in the region, however, *Please be wary of the following*-Store hours are VERY LIMITED, note they are only open Thursday and Saturday, you'll want to plan accordingly-Store DOES NOT offer tastings or flights, despite that I saw another gentleman in the store with a tasting glass full of beer! If the glassware is available it would be a nice courtesy to your customers to offer samples even if your tap equipment is non-ideal. Instead, the owner directed me to various shops with their beers on tap, *but it isn't guaranteed that they will have those beers in stock or variety that you expect*-Despite ordering a growler of the RedJay West Coast *IPA*, the beer tasted very sour, so either I was given the wrong beer, or lacto (sour equipment was mixed with non lacto equipment to make this batch!-The closest establishment serving HRB on tap, Papa Wheelies only had the plum sour, which was quite good despite me not liking sours, they did not have the biscuit wheat as advised.My recommendation based on my experience is if you like sours, this place is great, but if at all possible try to get some kind of sample of what you're going to get before you order a full growler! It's not really acceptable to not offer samples and then provide an incorrect or faulty product. Happy hunting, hopheads :

My boyfriend and I flew in from LA on a Saturday afternoon starving and in search of a few drinks. I suggested this place based on its good Yelp reviews, so we drove around trying to find it. We made a few wrong turns because it 's not super easy to find, but eventually we made it.We walked inside and I was surprised that there weren 't any tables or chairs. Not exactly what we were expecting, so we quickly decided to just leave. We made it back to the car before I said, maybe we could get a few growlers for the Airbnb? So we went back inside. It didn 't appear that anyone was even working for a few minutes, but eventually the owner emerged from a sort of freezer-looking-thing and greeted us. He was very friendly and took the time to explain all of the beers he had to offer, and that he grew everything on his own farm. Eventually we settled on an IPA and a plum sour (he warned us that his sours are very sour, but the plum is the most mild.)While he got to work filling and sealing our growlers, he gave us some suggestions on what else to do while we 're in the area.When we tried the beers later that night, we were both super impressed with how good they were. They 're sort of cloudy, like an unfiltered apple cider, and somewhat earthy, but in a good way. We especially loved the plum sour. We were just bummed we didn 't have more room in our carry-on bags to take some more home with us!

I stopped by on a trip to the coast and they had some absolutely fantastic beer I got 3 growlers of sours and don't have a bad thing to say about any of them the owner was awesome friendly and knowledgable if anyone gets a chance to visit do it you won't be disappointed

We stopped and got a couple of growlers on our redwoods trip. Both beers were excellent. Definitely worth a visit if you're a craft beer fan ?

Run don 't walk. I 've been to a lot of breweries all over the West Coast. This truly unique brewery will forever remain in my top 5. A true farm to glass brew. We bought a growler of what the brewer said he was most proud of , the Wheat Stout. Absolutely FANTASTIC.
