There is no shortage of breweries across Northern California, and Placer County is no exception. These three breweries boast their own pizzazz and appeal for how they make their craft beer and the philosophy the drives them.

 

Moonraker Brewing Company

The mastermind behind Moonraker Brewing began making home brews in 2008 before bringing his creative edge here.

The menu includes:

  • Miss Conduct Blonde Ale — Gold Medal – California State Fair 2016 Silver Medal
  • Yojo — A New England IPA with tons of apricot, peach and pineapple hop flavors.
  • Extremis — Triple IPA. ’Nuff said.
  • Alpha Tide — This West Coast 2xIPA is filled with Mosaic and Amarillo hops.
  • Hopped Lucidity — West Coast IPA is filled with “melon, papaya, evergreen and herbaceous hop flavor.”
  • Galaxy Crush — This beer comes from a single hop series.

Crooked Lane Brewing

Crooked Lane Brewing’s philosophy is to keep it local.

Whenever possible, the company buys from within its community. Its Mandarin IPA fruit, for instance, comes from a ranch in Penryn. And honey for the Honey Wheat Beer is produced at a farm in Newcastle.

By supporting local businesses and using their goods, the brewery hopes to give new meaning to locally brewed while also representing the area through its beers.

Crooked Lane features a beer garden and makes room for a local food vendor to complement its beers.

Currently, its menu of beers include: Doppelbock, Dottie’s Habit Stout – Oatmeal, Pupup Porter – Baltic,  Poor Me Porter Porter – American, Tidliwink Brown Ale – English,  Klasse Lager – Vienna, SR16 IPA – Imperial / Double, Roaky Mandarina IPA – American, Mandarin IPA IPA – American, Copper Eye – IPA IPA – American and Swamp Angel IPA – American, just to name a few.
