Corralitos Brewing Company - Watsonville, California

Jerry J.

I own Tacos El Jerry, and I’ve been bringing my food truck to Corralitos Brewery at least once a week for the past couple of years. The owners, Natalia and Luke, are great to work with super easygoing, communicative, and always on top of things. The vibe here has always been solid, and I even find myself sticking around to enjoy a beer when I get the chance. My go-to is The Blonde, but they’ve got a great selection of craft beers for every taste.

What really stands out is how well this place is run. It’s always clean, the staff is friendly and welcoming, and you can tell they take pride in what they do. Whether you’re stopping by for a drink, grabbing food from a truck, or just hanging out with friends, Corralitos Brewery is one of the best spots in the area. It’s got that perfect mix of a laid-back atmosphere with a strong sense of community, making it a go-to place on the outskirts of Watsonville. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out!

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.

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.

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