🎉 New Beginnings Monthly Night Out at Fieldwork in San Mateo! 🍺 🥨

Golden hour, bocce balls rolling, and a cold drink in hand… yes please. 🍺 🔵 🟢 🟡... 🔴

Join us for a lively evening at Fieldwork Brewing Company—where connection, friendly competition, and great conversation are always on tap.

We had such a great time at our last bocce night here (May 2025) that we’ve been looking forward to bringing it back. Now that spring is here and we can gather outside again, it feels like the perfect time for another round of fun.

This time, we’re bringing the fun to the bocce courts!* Whether you’re a seasoned player or just in it for laughs, it’s the perfect low-key way to mix, mingle, and enjoy a spring evening outdoors.
