What's Brewing

Welcome to Brew Country

Innovative microbreweries with enticing brew varieties abound in Santa Rosa, filling California's cornucopia with memorable eating and drinking experiences. Our many microbreweries have won numerous awards for unique brews, and an abundance of brew houses in the region offer even more opportunities to taste local beer, porter and ales.
Strike up a conversation with one of friendly brewmasters - you may get inspired by stories of how they made their way into harvesting hops rather than grapes. After tasting the array of local brews, you'll wonder why the region isn't called Brew Country, too.

"The thing I loved about getting into the brewpub business is that I sensed right away it has every bit the level of sophistication of these pinots being produced around here. People come up here to have experiences, and while all these tasting rooms are awesome, this kind of tasting room makes sense to me, too." Dean Biersch ... local brewmeister
