Craft Beer Walking Tour: 4 Breweries - 3 Hours - 2 Tacos - 1 Mile

Overview

52 ounces of craft beer is included on this 3-hour walking tour showcasing 4 of Santa Rosa’s finest award-winning microbreweries: Russian River Brewing Co, Shady Oak Barrel House, Civilization Brewing, and Cooperage Brewing Company.

You will join a friendly and knowledgeable craft beer enthusiast, who will bring the area to life with historic accounts of local legends, from Luther Burbank to Alfred Hitchcock, and tales of the bootleggers, backstabbers and black market brewers who made the Nor Cal beer scene what it is today.

While you enjoy some of the best brews Santa Rosa has to offer, along with a few snacks along the way, your guide will share insights into how Sonoma county became the birthplace of the microbrewery and why it continues to rank among the top craft beer destinations on the planet.

What To Expect

Russian River Brewing Company

Aim to arrive 10 minutes early and look for the guide with the beer umbrella outside the crown jewel of Santa Rosa’s craft beer scene: Russian River Brewing Co. This is the home of Pliny the Elder, the first commercially produced double IPA in the country, which was ranked as the #1 beer in the US by the American Homebrewers Association 8 years in a row! This masterpiece — along with several other perfected recipes for the Blind Pig IPA, the STS Pilsner, and the Belgian “-ation” series — have racked up over 40 medals for this remarkable brewery at the Great American Beer Festival and the World Beer Cup. We will begin our stumble here by sampling all 4 of these diverse and divine award-winning beers, while learning a bit about each other, the roots of Sonoma County's fascination with beer, and the reasons that Santa Rosa has been dubbed the microbrew capital of the country.

Nathan was a great tour guide! He took us to four breweries. He got to know each of our beer tastes and helped us choose beers that we would like. I would highly recommend this tour!

Nathan was an amazing guide!! His historical knowledge of the beer industry was fun to learn about, and we also chatted about so many other things. The beers were delicious and the breweries/bars had great vibes. This is how we spent our first night in Santa Rosa and it was the perfect start to our vacation!! I can’t recommend this tour enough!!

My husband and I had a great time on the craft beer tour. Nathan was a fantastic guide and we enjoyed getting to know him. We learned a lot about the local beer scene and tried all kinds of beer that we wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Highly recommend!
