Auburn Alehouse Brewery, Auburn, California




October, 2008 - Auburn, California. The street name goes back to the days of the 49ers and the Gold Rush, but the tin man is smiling because now Auburn once again has a brewery. Just down the block is the new (2007) Auburn Alehouse, and it's "a keeper"!


Front of the brewpub, with a reflection of Auburn in the glass.

A view as you walk in the front door, with the bar at the left. The restuarant seating is to the right, straight back, and out on the patio. You can see the bright tanks, at the back, which are up above the brewery.

Old and new. The tin roof and original brick wall, blend nicely with a modern design hanging above the back of the bar. The top row of bottles are growlers from numerous other breweries.

And as I always try to do on my first visit to a brewpub.... A sampler set. Below is a list of their brews.


Notice the "Guest Brew", on the left side of the chalk board - Sierra Nevada Torpedo! I don't know how they still had a keg of that?



Half of the tap handles.

Then there's the "Wild Women" next door.

And the most famous landmark in town, the court house.
