"Beneath Ghost Town's morbid exterior, behind the ubiquitous skeleton and demon imagery and beers named Speed of Death, Detestable, Sour Violence, and Torture Garden, is a crowd-pleasing brewery that has crafted a beer garden the East Bay flocks to for award-winning brews, a creative, options-for-everyone menu, and impeccable vibes, as one Nosh Awards voter put it. Nosh readers cast their votes prior to Thanksgiving, and the results of the 2025 Nosh Awards are in."
"Ghost Town Brewing has established a sizable trophy case since its founding in 2012. Most significantly, it took home Brewery and Brewer of the Year (5,001-15,000 barrel production category) at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival. At the World Beer Cup in May, Ghost Town was one of just two breweries to win five medals, four of which were gold. Now, Nosh Awards voters have tapped Ghost Town's Laurel location for yet another trophy, the East Bay's Best Beer Garden/Taproom in 2025."
"For Nosh Awards voters, Ghost Town's amazing food, great rotating beer list, and family- and dog-friendly atmosphere were cited again and again as reasons for its favored status. Ghost Town Laurel not only has great beer (and lots of varieties to choose from) but they have delicious food with so many healthy options made with love, and a super-friendly staff. Honestly, the great food gets me there and the beer makes me stay."
Ghost Town Laurel pairs a morbid, goth-inspired exterior with a welcoming, crowd-pleasing beer garden atmosphere. The brewery has earned significant recognition, including Brewery and Brewer of the Year in its production category at the 2022 Great American Beer Festival and multiple World Beer Cup medals. The Laurel location was named East Bay's Best Beer Garden/Taproom in 2025. Patrons praise a rotating, award-winning beer list, a creative menu with many healthy and vegetarian choices, and a friendly, family- and dog-welcoming outdoor space. Menu items range from large salads and veggie bowls to fish tacos, bratwurst, jalapenos, and soft pretzels.
