Mattie Groves Brewery

This was an incredible stop in Sacremento, with some of the best beer I've had (and so much range), and with such a nice owning family. As a picky Seattle drinker, i was i credibly impressed. I'm a sucker for funk and couldn't stay away from the rice braggot with hibiscus, the elderflower saison or the blueberry lavender saison. But the classics were also amazing. Their red was one of my favorite Irish reds ever, a really good Russian imperial stout, and an amazing, not-yet-released and not-yet-named tropical ipa. The service was excellent, and the water station was refreshingy cold. Really cool glassware! The seating was very spacious and welcoming, with board and video games for hanging all day or spending time with the kids. Will be back for the canned fish tasting menu and other food items. Great and safe parking, super family and dog friendly.

This is a wonderful little brewpub we recently discovered in Sacramento on the edge of Midtown near downtown. It is small with one taproom/pub area. Seating includes some long tables and benches but also a few chairs with smaller tables, plus room at the small bar. Lighting is bright but later in the evening, they turn it down to be darker and more relaxed. The owners are both extremely friendly and enthusiastic. The couple beers which we had were excellent. They seem to have a pretty good range. They have food which sounds good, but we did not get any. Overall, this is an excellent little brewpub which we look forward to visting any time we're in town.
