Corralitos Brewing Company - Brewery in Watsonville - 2536 Freedom Blvd, USA

Salt of the Earth brewery that’s easy to miss if you aren’t paying attention while driving the beautiful outskirts of Watsonville. Located in a large wooden barn next to a lumber company, Corralitos Brewing has a small town feel, where locals come after clocking out from work and enjoying tasty beer while watching the sunset and breathing clean air. The outdoor patio area is reminiscent of a saloon, while the indoor avoids the cliched Industrial interiors of many breweries today, instead relying on the log cabin / barn motif with wooden decor and small town charm. The staff is friendly, conversational, and attentive. The restrooms are clean. There’s the obligatory swag and to go beer for sale. They even offer crowler fills, but I would suggest asking for pricing before simply ordering a large can for home. I ordered two and it cost me $50 with a reasonable tip. That’s the only negative I can really complain about, but I have to take responsibility for it because I didn’t inquire whatsoever. Parking is limited, but when the lot is full, the overflow simply park on the on the shoulder of the adjacent field. Some would say Corralitos Brewing Company is off the beaten path, and they would be correct. It’s not right off the highway or in a shopping center downtown. But it’s worth the extra ten minutes and the countryside is a nice reprieve from downtown Watsonville.

Had a great time. Took a group there w our classics and everyone enjoyed it

Great lil brewery. All brewd on site. Small venue but great beer. Go check this place out. Most weekends you can find a food truck on site to grab a bite to eat, or just go up the road to Corralitos market and grab something there. That market is a gem all in it self too.

Funky out of the way location, great beers, especially the Hop Kiss fresh hopped IPA...

Great beer selection, dog and family friendly and great sunsets too!

Good atmosphere. Dog and cyclist friendly. Not all beers are great, but the Carrizo and Whiskey Hills were worth the trip.

My absolute favorite brewery anywhere!! Their beers are amazing including their IPA's. The people are great as well meeting other people there. Just love this place so much!!

Nothing beats ordering at the bar and enjoying a cold beer on the porch with friends and family. I have been lucky enough to live nearby to such great breweries. Luke and Nat (owners) are the best, and run one of my favorite local businesses! When you leave CBC you'll leave happy knowing you had some of the best beers on the West Coast! My go to's have to be Seek and Enjoy (hazy), Hop Kiss (WC IPA), South 40 (american pale ale) and My Girl (pale ale).
