Best places: Breweries in California

Indy microbrewery & tasting room with a relaxed industrial vibe, BYO food & occasional live music.

Modern microbrewery for craft-beer options, featuring a tasting room with science-inspired decor.

👍👍 Pretty darn good food. The curry was spicy and delicious and easily split by two people. Great beer, but don't miss the separate gift ship and brewery taproom with official tours and some self guided areas, as well as Ms Pacman and table shuffle board upstairs while you drink

👍👍 9/25/22 Had to rock with The Obsessed, et. al. What a freaking great show. I love Transplants. The sound was amazing. Transplants has added a bar area inside the music arena. Looks like they might be setting up to video bands too! The Meteors show at Transplants was great! Love this venue. Clean an...

Brewpub with a variety of seasonal house beer blends, plus savory pies, in an industrial setting.

👍👍 Beautiful grounds and delicious cider! If you are in Sonora make sure to add Indigeny to your itinerary! We brought our two dogs along and they also had a blast (dog friendly inside and outside).

👍👍 LOVE this place. The slushy beer is delicious! As are all of the stouts and sours. They have an interesting take on ipa beers, calling them “murky”, not hazy. It’s a great distinction, because hazy beers are more sweet and tropical tasting, while their beers are more direct hop forward flavors and l...

👍 This unassuming brewery in Santa Rosa industrial neighborhood, is a hidden gem. The beer garden style seating invites you to pull up to a stool and try one of their cleverly named brews. Board games, food trucks, dogs and good music; what more could you ask for?!? The beer is excellent too. It's not...

👍👍 I come to Chico frequently for my job and as everyone I always go to Sierra Nevada for local brews but the past couple of times I have been in town I have noticed that Sierra seems to have become more of a commercial brewery that only has beers on tap I can get at any store on the west coast so I wa...

Local craft brewery offering a variety of beers in an unassuming tasting room plus tours by request.

👍👍 Nice place to relax and have a beer or two, maybe 3. Like most, if not all, of the Stone's we have visited, they have created this ambiance of paradise within their breweries or even tap rooms. We came in January, I cannot imagine how much more lush and green the garden will be during spring time...

👍👍 This is without a doubt the best pizza in Chico. I was blown away. The crust is nice and chewy, very thin, and while they do offer traditional toppings, there are also some fun options for those who wanna try something different. The pizzas are baked to perfection until there are spots of black on t...
