Santa Clara and San Jose beckon with breweries ranging from Floodcraft to Taplands and more.
Taplands, Santa Clara
Founded in by Matt Hartenstein in 2016, this taproom is also a bottle shop and occasional brewery. Hartenstein is a longtime homebrewer and self-avowed “old-time beer nerd” who wanted to have a craft beer bar, but didn’t want to give up his hobby — so he figured out a way to do both. The focus is clearly on the taproom, with a nicely curated, rotating lineup of 25 beers plus a cask engine. Hartenstein likes to keep a diverse portfolio of styles. The idea, he tells me, is to have brews that are “good for people who both know good beer and don’t know what they want.” Education is a big component here, and the bar’s vibe aims to welcome beer geeks like him as well as newbies eager to learn.
Founded in 2016 by homebrewer Matt Hartenstein, Santa Clara’s Taplands is a taproom, bottle shop and nanobrewery. The bar, which offers indoor and outdoor seating and tasty fare such as deviled eggs, panini and charcuterie boards, has become a neighborhood destination. Hartenstein reckons 75 to 80 percent of his customers are regulars that he knows by name. As for the beer, he chuckles and says his own beers are only on “irregularly” and usually sell out fast. It’s hard to keep with demand on a 1-bbl nanobrewery setup and run the bar.
