## About

A Nano-brewery for the Kings Beach community (and everyone else that loves good beer). Taproom only in Kings Beach. No distribution since my brewing system is so, well nano (1BBL w/ 5 1BBL ferm tanks). 5 rotating beers on draft. There will always be hoppy beers, but there will also be other things for the hop averse crowd. We are a brewery, not a restaurant. We do not have food (other than chips and pretzels), but we do encourage you to support our other local businesses in our community. Please have pizza delivered, or bring in take out. We have an outdoor area (pets ok). We ask you to please be respectful and clean up after yourselves... and your pet. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
