Buck Wild Brewing & Taproom

Beer good - food meh

Pros: The space is really lovely and I appreciate that they’re trying to do a fully GF brewery experience. Also, the fries and nachos were passable. Cons: Some of the food (e.g., fish and chips) was honestly inedible and a lot of the beer is not good. I realize that the beer will taste different than non-GF beer, but many of the flavors were not balanced (many way too sweet, some that tasted like straight malt liquor) and a few of our beers had a smell that I can only describe as something between mop water and dirty socks. Overall, a couple of the beers were okay and their mission is good, but I’ve had much better.

When it comes to Gluten Free, this place can't be beat!!! This is our 3rd trip here this year and we really hope this place takes off. Their gluten free beers legitimately compete with the rest and should be available in every restaurant on the west coast. The food is good as well but I think part of the reason it's so good is they have dishes gf people likely haven't had in some time ie deep fried tacos, fish and chips etc. highly recommend

Excellent experience with some friends for a Sunday night early dinner in Oakland. Tried their Pale Ale and Rogue Wave IPA through a curiosity and I cannot contain my excitement to FINALLY ENJOY BEER. I've been gluten-free diagnosed celiac since 2009, so this place is huge. Most gluten free beer I tried in the past was a gross disappointment that left a weird aftertaste in my mouth. It was never worth the money. This place was. Ordered the Fish Tacos, also never had beer battered fish, excellent. Even my gluten eating friends enjoyed the food and beer. Ordered the flight, super reasonably priced and totally fell in love with their Alpenglow IPA. 10/10 Will be back!

Gluten free everything! Pretty easy parking. Wall of games. Friendly staff.

No. In m M

Great space, spot-on service, with good food. The fish tacos were delicious and the Alpenglow beer was spot on. Hard to believe it was all gluten-fee.

I haven’t been to the tap room but ordered their beer for delivery. They overnight anywhere in California which is great! I have celiac and it has been devastating as a huge craft brew fan and home brewer prior to being diagnosed. Very few fully gluten free craft breweries even exist. I tried their Chocolato Affogato Stout and Kokua Project Session IPA. Both are spot on to style, indistinguishable from “normal” beer, and just super tasty. Haven’t had anything as great since Colorado’s Holidaily or Washington’s Ghostfish. I haven’t had any celiac reactions which is great and I will trust them going forward. This place is a gem.
