We can accommodate parties of all sizes, from a small after-work gathering to a large-scale event. The tap room is perfect for intimate gatherings, while our 12,000 square foot brewery space can hold a large group – with room to spare.

Space rental fees are determined on a case-by-case basis and depend on the size of your group and the date and set-up of your event.

We no longer host wedding rehearsal dinners or receptions.

We’re very flexible when it comes to setting up and decorating the space. You are free to bring your own decorations like balloons, photos, tablecloths or banners. We just ask that you do not use clear tape (like packaging tape) to hang anything on the walls of the tap room as it will remove the paint. Painter’s tape and masking tape are okay. Also, confetti is not permitted.

Please remember that we are a working brewery. If you are hosting your event in the brewery bar all set-up must occur the day of the event and no sooner as we need to leave the space free for forklifts, keg deliveries, etc. Unfortunately we cannot move the dumpster from our courtyard.

We are NOT full-service event space. Our staff cannot help you decorate and you will not have access to our forklift for hanging lights, lanterns, etc. due to liability issues.

Basically the brewery bar is a warehouse space! If you’re the kind of person who is also considering have your party at the Ritz Carlton or you’d like to have a professional event planner then we are not the venue for you.

We have a dozen six-foot tables, around 100 folding chairs, six high top tables and about 15 high top chairs that you are free to use.

The brewery is not climate-controlled so it is closed during the hot months (approximately late May to early October). We can still accommodate special events in the tap room during the summer – there’s A/C in there! We can accommodate parties up to 30 in the tap room.

We do not serve wine in the brewery bar. We are a brewery!!!!!!

CATERING 

We do not have an on-site catering option or a kitchen but you are free to bring in food from any catering service or restaurant you desire. If you want to make and bring your own food, go for it!

Here are some suggestions based on caterers we’ve worked with in the past:

• Dig Foods
• Burrito Gallery
• Carmine’s Pie House
• Restaurant Orsay
• Catering by Liz Grenamyer
• Black Sheep Restaurant
• Tres Leches
• Monroe’s Smokehouse BBQ
• MOJO No. 4

We do not provide plates, napkins, cutlery, etc.

We hope to be able to host food trucks on-site soon but unfortunately cannot predict when we will be permitted to have them. You are however free to contact food trucks to see if they would be willing to privately cater your event (they just aren’t allowed to sell to the general public while they are parked at the brewery).

Jax Truckies is a great place to learn about local food trucks. We’ve worked with the below food trucks:

• Monroe’s Smokehouse BBQ
• Driftwood BBQ
• Pele’s Wood Fire
• On the Fly Sandwiches & Stuff
• Corner Taco
• Le Petite Cheri Cupcakery
• The Salty Fig
• Super Food Truck

Our tap room staff will have garbage bins available for you. Please be courteous and clean up all food, plates, cutlery, napkins, etc. If you do not clean up after yourself we will charge a $50 cleaning fee.

You are free to store food in our walk-in cooler. We are not responsible if your items stored in our walk-in cooler or storage room are lost, damaged or stolen. You cannot store items in our walk-in cooler for longer than one day.

MUSIC

No amplified music is permitted in the brewery bar (including DJs). Acoustic music is okay, but no drums. Music MUST be finished by 10pm at the very latest due to noise restrictions in our neighborhood.

PARKING & SECURITY

We have an armed security guard on staff every night we are open from dark until closing. The main duties of the security guard are to make sure parking goes smoothly and to ensure the safety of our patrons.

Guests can park in the gravel area in front of the brewery, on the street, or in the grassy lot next to the tap room.

BEVERAGE PRICES & PAYMENT

Our prices are $4 for a pint of our regular release brews and $5 or more for specialty or high gravity brews (like our King Street Stout or I-10 IPA). We do not sell kegs of beer for on-site consumption.

We also offer bottled water and sodas (Coke products) for $1 each. We do not serve wine.

ABSOLUTELY NO OUTSIDE BEVERAGES ARE PERMITTED AT INTUITION ALE – ESPECIALLY OUTSIDE ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES.

We are very flexible on method of payment. You can purchase a set number of drink tickets in advance and distribute them to your guests. Or we could operate an open bar and give your guests wristbands so we know which drinks go on your tab. Or we could set a fixed amount you’d like to spend and your guests are on their own after that. Or they could just be on their own the whole night – whatever’s best for you. Just note that we’ll charge an 18% gratuity fee if you purchase tickets in advance or set a fixed amount for beverage consumption.

You must leave a credit card with the staff for the duration of the event. Even if you do not plan on paying for your beer with a credit card we must have it on file in case we need to charge a clean-up or vandalism (unfortunately this has happened!) fee.

We accept cash and all major credit cards. We do NOT accept checks.

LOCATION & OPENING HOURS

Intuition Ale Works is located at 720 King Street in Riverside, just up the street from Kickbacks and around the corner from Bold City Brewery. If you’re driving up King Street away from the river, we’ll be on your left just before the railroad tracks. If you cross the tracks you’ve gone too far! Click here for directions and a map.

We are open Wednesday to Friday from 3:00pm to 11:00pm and Saturday from 1:00pm to 11:00pm. If you would like to plan your event on a day we are not open just let us know! We will implement a minimum beverage consumption to make sure it’s worth our while to open on an off night. Be in touch and we’ll discuss your options.
