About Blast & Brew
Blast & Brew is a brewpub on River Oaks Place in San Jose. The self-pour tap wall is the draw: 35 rotating craft beers, ciders and wines that you sample and pour yourself at your own pace.
One example on the wall is a Pale Ale at 5.3% ABV with Cascade, Galaxy and Apollo hops, malty with notes of grapefruit and melon. If self-pour is not your speed, the full bar covers signature cocktails and other options, including zero-proof drinks.
The kitchen runs a global fusion menu of pizzas, burgers, tacos and bowls. Pizza styles range from Neapolitan and Chicago to Sicilian and California, alongside hand-pressed, flame-grilled burgers and a dessert menu. There is a kids menu too, so it works for families as well as groups grabbing a pour together.
It also counts as an Italian, Indian and vegetarian restaurant as well as a brewpub, a sign of how wide the menu runs. It is one of the most reviewed brewpubs in San Jose on this site.
