Sacramento’s Newest Beer Joint?
It’s been just over a year since Manderes in Folsom opened with an impressive selection of taps, bottles and grub to satisfy an eager beer-loving population. Brent and David have, since then, won many honors and awards in the region. Given they were the only game in town for good beer, it wasn’t a surprise. On Tuesday, however, they’re going to get some serious competition from one of the region’s old players – Sacrament Brewing Company.
Spear-headed by it’s brewmaster Peter Hoey, SacBrew is starting a new program that involves doubling the taps and bringing in fantastic brews from around the world. To give you an idea of what you can expect, check out the list of brews you can find on Tuesday when their 12 new taps start pouring.
- Anchor Brewing – Christmas Ale
- Bear Republic – Racer 5 IPA
- Bear Republic – Jack London ESB
- Brasserie d’ Achouffe – Houblon Doubbelen IPA Tripel
- Deschutes – The Dissident
- Green Flash – Tripple Belgian Style Ale
- Rubicon Brewing Company – Monkey Knife Fight
- Russian River Brewing Company – Pliny the Elder
- Sierra Nevada – Celebration Ale
- Unibroue – Maudite
Keep in mind, this is in ADDITION TO the award-winning lineup of SBC brews:
Isn’t it interesting that a brewery finds the best business choice is to offer something they didn’t make, as the path to more business?
Isn’t it more impressive that they have the courage to do so?
Kudos to SBC in making the investment into the beer community!
I’m eager to see the list of guest beers grow and gain depth. I love the idea of trying something new and “rare” to me.
Yet, I can’t help but notice that I find myself overlooking their house made beer selection in the exchange. I hope I don’t become complacent.
