Big Meadow Brewing Company

"They serve beer in a plastic cup. No dogs allowed. The building and atmosphere suck. Not worth it. Bomb it down to June Lake Brewery (no dogs) or Distant Brewery (dog friendly)."

"This brewery is definitely not ready for prime time. But hey it's Bridgeport, they probably don't have a prime time, and the owners could probably care less. It seemed like they liked to brew beers and drink with their friends and if some visitors want to try their beer, well fine, I guess. I came, I drank, I left. Probably just the way they like it. Two taps of ale, light & red ABV 4% served in plastic cup $7 + tax. Drinkable but mostly tasteless. There is food on site from another vendor, Growlers Eatery. Menu varies but generally pub grub. NO DOGS, even on outdoor patio."

"I was trying to do the Ale Trail but it's basically pointless. First, there are no dogs allowed. After walking in, I asked the lady bartender if they had beer to go. This was my only option because of my dogs. After the bartender replied with a "we don't bottle our beer" an old white guy laughed and said "why don't you just sit and drink one boy". As a Mexican, that was totally uncalled for and rude, making the experience that more desirable. To the people that will read my review, don't waste your time going to this brewery."

"Passing through Bridgeport for the night, and decided to pop in for a beer before dinner. So glad we did! Rose was behind the bar. They only had two taps available (Jim was brewing 4 more in the back!) so we had one of each. The summer ale was very light, and refreshing. They honey rye ale was delicious! I was a little apprehensive as I wasn’t sure about the “rye”, but do yourself a favor and order one! Our plan was to go to dinner after, but while we sat talking to the incredibly friendly locals and Rose (owner) we looked at the menu for food (from growlers- window within the brewery) and MAN… best choice all day was to stay there. Had a burger and pulled pork covered tots. Neither of us could finish! Huge portions and delicious! Fresh burger patty, in house smoked pork. Heading back to the brewer this morning to grab a coffee (which someone had ordered and it smelled delicious too)"

"This just opened in the summer of 2018. What a secret gem it is..you pass through the small town of Bridgeport and the brewery sits right in the center. The inside has that small town cozy and rustic feel like home. The beers are fresh and delicious. If a local restaurant just happened to drop off food for you while you sit and enjoy your beer...well, its like home, so enjoy. The owners are present and very friendly. Open year round. I am excited to pass through here in the snow season and go have a nice beer before heading off to mammoth mountain!"
