Crusader Brewing

Great little brewery in a strip mall in SW Bakersfield.
Good beers from kolsch to scotch ales. I'll go back to try one of their stouts.
They have a neat Pay It Forward program where you can buy a beer for a vet or first responder.
No in-house food but tasty food trucks outside.
2 thumbs 👍

Crusaders is a bit hidden but such a quaint feeling when you go in and sit down. I had a session IPA that I enjoyed very much. But Ill be going again soon to try a variety of other brews.

First time there was for summer music festival [ great bands ]

Super friendly staff and their beer is incredible, especially if you like more traditional and malty style beers

Definitely a gem in my opinion. Never heard of it until about a year ago and was surprised there was a whole brewery tucked away in this business center. Once I did start going I really liked the atmosphere and all the extra space in the back. The beers are pretty cool and I've tried some before that I never heard of. Some days can get busy but most of the time when I visit it seems pretty slow or quiet. It's a good change from the typical breweries like Lengthwise but maintains its own charm and uniqueness.
