Sacramento/Rocklin/Auburn - Breweries and Releases (2018)

I'm sure there are enough. Excited for what Track 7 is about to do with the weekly drops. Havent tried Sukahop yet or the Love & Hoppiness. The DDH LERE sounds good too. Glad I work 10 minutes away.

 

Crooked Lane, Big Sexy, and Big Stump are all now open. Any initial reports back on these spots? Crooked Lane looks like it will be pretty legit.

Mraz is releasing Reckless Use of Hops on Friday.

 

Nice, im in downtown closer to the Curtis Park location. Hope to be there around 3. Looks like the 4 packs are $14 + tax/CRV and no limits.

 

Bloomers Cut cans aren't far off either!

 

Heretic dropped Incubus today as well, their Heaven Hill BA Imperial Stout. Really tasty, especially at $15.20 out the door at the brewery.

 

Sacramento seems to be an area that doesn't get much publicity for their breweries in California, besides Moonraker, Knee Deep and Track 7, I dont hear much about any of these places. I often travel hours for beer and Sacramento has to be one of the least explored areas for me, even though its only 45 minutes away. This thread is a welcome presence for the scene.

How would people rank the top Sacramento breweries? I'm looking to make Sacramento brewery crawl with friends soon.

 

For me, I'd say Mraz, Fieldwork, Moonraker, Device, Berryessa, Sudwerk, Bike Dog, Track 7, Auburn, New Glory, and Claimstake are your top tier ones. I haven't been to Flatland or Titled Mash yet but it seems like they are putting out some good stuff.

 

Im glad you added Berryessa, they arent Sacramento really, but they dont get talked about at all, and they're a good brewery and close enough to Davis, if we're counting them as Sac area.

Love their outside seating, food trucks and the beers are solid. Plus they have prefilled crowlers to take home.

My two favorite would be knee deep and moonraker, love their hoppy stuff. Im looking forward to the Napa Fieldwork taproom addition, as I live near.

 

If you want to travel super deep, but make a nice afternoon out of it, I can't recommend Ol' Republic enough. Outstanding lagers and English style ales. Do not go there looking for a West Coast IPA though!

Nevada City is a great place to spend a day. There is also another brewery in the old town area called Three Forks. Definitely worth a stop for lunch and beer while in the area.

Two other great places for beer in Nevada City are Jernigans for an outstanding taplist and burgers and Matteo's for great beer and atmosphere.

 

Any idea how fast the YOJO cans sold out last release? Thinking about driving up for the release this weekend.

 

About a week.

 

Shame about New Glory cancelling their canned release of Astro Haze. Did anyone make it out to Blue Note in Woodland? Heard they were releasing a peach sour but I didn't make it.
