Located right off the 99 in Turlock, Dust Bowl Brewery has become a go-to spot here in town. With their commitment to quality, creativity and community, this local gem has become a favorite among beer enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. In this post, we’re going to take a closer look at the story behind Dust Bowl and the amazing experiences and tastes this place has to offer its visitors.
At the heart of Dust Bowl Brewery's success lies its commitment to brewing excellence. The brewery has a diverse lineup of 20 different handcrafted beers and IPAs, each a masterpiece of flavor and craftsmanship. From their flagship Hops of Wrath IPA to the Therapist Double IPA and the ever-popular Taco Truck Lager, Dust Bowl's offerings cater to a wide range of palates, ensuring there's something for everyone.
The use of premium ingredients, innovative brewing techniques and a relentless pursuit of perfection have earned Dust Bowl Brewery numerous awards and accolades within the craft brewing community. The brewers continually experiment with new styles and flavors, keeping their beer menu fresh and exciting.
Unique Flavors
In no particular order, I'll be going over my favorite food they have because I'm not a huge drinker…it's all about the BBQ for me.
Before you get your drinks, make sure you try out their Beer Nachos, Carne Asada Fries or my favorite…the Okie Nachos. The Okie Nachos are a blend of nachos and carne asada fries. They have freshly fried potato chips layered with jack & cheddar cheese, grilled chicken & BBQ sauce. Topped with ranch dressing, green onions & sour cream on the side. They never let me down and I always crave for more, I can actually go for some right now.
Community Connection
Dust Bowl Brewery is not just a place to enjoy exceptional craft beer; it's also a community hub. The brewery actively engages with the local community, hosting events, fundraisers and social gatherings. The family-friendly atmosphere of their taproom and restaurant makes it a popular spot for both locals and visitors, creating a sense of camaraderie that extends beyond the love of beer. The layout of the Turlock location is pretty spacious and the Beer Garden is a nice spot for outdoor dinners and get-togethers.
I'm uncertain about the current status of their cornhole competitions, but I recall seeing flyers promoting them, suggesting they were quite popular. I hope these events are still ongoing, as I would love to assemble a team and participate. Additionally, they offer other games such as Giant Jenga and Botchy Ball. Also if you bring along your furry friend, they are also welcome in the Beer Garden, only if they are friendly though!
Visiting the Brewery
For those eager to experience Dust Bowl firsthand, a visit to their Turlock location is a must. The brewery's tap room provides a welcoming ambiance where patrons can savor a flight of their favorite brews, enjoy a delicious meal and enjoy the game that’s on the screens. With 30,000 sq. ft. this location is home to the brewery and a full-service taproom and restaurant. I found on their website, “The Beer Garden offers live music on Thursday evenings in the summer, May – September.”
Dust Bowl's Turlock location is more than just a brewery; it's a destination that celebrates the rich tapestry of craft brewing, community and reflecting on American history. With its unwavering dedication to creativity and great food, Dust Bowl Brewery continues to be a beacon for beer enthusiasts and a proud contributor to the vibrant culture of Turlock. Whether you're a seasoned craft beer aficionado or a casual drinker looking for a delightful experience, Dust Bowl Brewery invites you to raise a glass and savor the flavors of Turlock's brewing excellence. Cheers!
