Beer Quality Beer Selection Food Service Overall
Great Great Great Lousy Good
In June, I spent a week in Davis, much of it at Sudwerk. The food was great. I recommend the sausage platter.

With only German stlye beers, I was pleased with the selection. My favorites included the Marzen, the Hefeweizen, the Pilsner, and the Maibock. The brewery also produces a few kristal versions of their beers which are very pretty, very filtered, and lacking in the flavor category.

It is fun to be able to view active fermentation in the brewery's open tuns. On a nice day it is great to sit outside on the large enclosed patio.

By far the biggest let down was the service. Servers and bartenders did not seem to grasp the fact that a group of people waiting to order costs them money. More than one time I heard from employees, 'I not ignoring you guys, I'm just very busy right now.' In the time it took to explain how busy it was our beer order could have been placed and paid for. Unless you are the ONLY customer in the place, I recommend ordering the Liter size mug due to the slow pace of service.

I look forward to tasting the Sudwerk beers on my next visit to Davis, CA.

We came in today there was two of us, around 5:00 and were completely ignored for about 15 minutes. No menu, no water, nothing. There were plenty of employee standing around talking so it was not as if they were all to busy. Really disappointed! We left and went somewhere where they were happy to get our bussiness.

Could be the best place to eat in Davis. Always busy and full of life. German-style beers go extremely well with the food.

One of the few places to get Germanesque food in the Sacramento area. I like the Marzen. Service is generally good, although no one on the wait staff could tell me where they got the copy of the Reinheitsgebot posted on the wall.

I have been going to Sudwerk for years. Mostly at the old restaurant on Exposition in Sacramento. They closed and I now have to drive to Davis when I visit. Went during my last stay and had a good time watching the Kings at the bar. Started with a Pilsner and then a Marzen with dinner. Dinner was a very tasty Brauerjagerschnitzel...although a bit tough. The bartender was attentive and friendly, even though there was a huge party in the back room. This is a comfortable, friendly place with some pretty good beer at decent prices. If you are in the area, I would recommend a stop here.

I like the atmosphere here. I remember being impressed by this place when a friend of mine who went to Davis took me here even before I was a big brewpub guy. So I guess that counts for something.

So So Good So So Good Good
Most of the reviews here are black and white, as if Sudwerk is either "Awesome/Great" or just "So-So." It's not right to take either extreme view. One the one hand, it is very remarkable that anyobdy can make German lagers even approaching what you get in Bavaria, given how hard it would be to get exactly the same hops (like the Tettnanger hop) in the same condition over here, etc. Having lived in Heidelberg for awhile, and using it as my base station for touring numerous breweries throughout Bavaria, I am positive that that the Sudwerk would be no embarrassment to Heidelbergers if it were sitting right on the Neckar river instead of in Davis. Now, it would not be among the very best lagers when compared to Bavarian greats such as Paulaner, Eku, and Maisel, but it would definitely hold its own. You can't do much better without crossing an ocean.

Great So So Good Good Great
The bad reviews of the beer brewed here kind of confuse me. The beers are actually very good. I am a big fan of good beers and generally know a good beer from a bad one, and they certainly don't brew a bad one. I have never been to Germany and have never had German beers (except imports--which are generally made for the American market), but the friends that I have from Germany have said the beers here are fairly good. This is in comparison to the best German beers, mind you. So, all in all, I would say this brewery is pretty good.

This brewpub, the ponly one currently serving Davis, is a disappointment. While the initial taste of the beer is generally good, beer produced here lacks body. The Marzen is pretty good and is your best bet, but I would not go out of my way for a visit.

I've been to Munich many times, and the beer at Sudwerk is awesome - for the US. It would be just good in Munich. Still, that's a $1500 plane ride saved! If you're into schnitzel, kraut and sausage, food is better than good, otherwise, just okay. Excellent fries, though.

Excellent beer and food! Good service too! we all had great meals served by a cute little waitress. I was a bit dissappointed in the beer selection and the timing was wrong so I missed the Dunkle. Maybe next time.

If there were more beer styles this place would be much better, but as it is it's definately worth a stop. The marzen is great.
