Golden Bear Brewing Company is re-opening next week! After a good rest and hibernation, we are back for Season 18 of great brews, good nosh and a slew of music shows.

Because times have been tough economically for all, we will not increase our b**r prices for now. We will also introduce a couple of cocktails into our drinks menu. Unfortunately, food is a different category altogether. So many calculations, but the same outcome. Menu prices will be higher, but we'll keep the same quality and quantity of the servings. We will continue to bring free music to the wharf. These shows are a highlight for everybody but a huge expense for us. Please support the venue and the artists. Enjoy the free shows and the relaxed, friendly atmosphere at the Bear. Welcome our new crew and be patient while they undergo training. A little kindness goes a long way.

See you all soon! ❤️🐻🍺
