Since the launch of Sierra Nevada Brewing Company and its infamous Pale Ale in the early 1980s, Chico has been a destination for craft-beer enthusiasts looking to taste new and interesting brews fresh from the source. Plan your next visit and discover all the Northern California craft beer Butte County has to offer.
Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.
The first major Chico craft brewery and the one that putt Butte County on the international beer map, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is a popular attraction for tourists and residents alike. Hop heads interested in the brewing process will love the in-depth tours (with tastings at the end!) available at the brewery — and even casual beer drinkers will enjoy the standard tour. With a full-service restaurant in the Taproom, live events available at the Big Room, and fun events throughout the year, you could spend a full day or more tasting your way through SNB’s brew options.

British Bulldog Brewery
From teenage home brewing in England to a full-fledged American brewery in Chico, British Bulldog Brewery celebrates the owner’s distinct cultural influences. Create your own Ale Trail with the brewery’s variety of American-style ales and IPAs and range of British beers. From stouts and porters to English-style and Scottish ales, it’s as close to a classic neighborhood pub as you can get without a plane ticket. Enjoy a pint or two paired with a British-inspired meal before heading out for more shopping and explorations exclusively at their restaurant, The Allies Pub, in the heart of Downtown Chico.

Eckert Malting and Brewing
They say necessity is the mother of invention — and with a now-gluten intolerant wife in desperate need of a delicious gluten-free beer, traditional home brewer Jim Eckert stepped up to create a rice-based beer. From that need grew Eckert Malting & Brewing, a Chico-based commercial-scale gluten-free malting and brewing enterprise.
Feather Falls Brewing Company
Oroville’s only brewery goes all out with a slate of award-winning craft beers, a full-service restaurant, and, oh yeah, a full-fledged casino. Just steps away from Feather Falls Casino & Lodge, Feather Falls Brewing Company is the best option for those looking to hit the slots. You can enjoy dozens of year-round and seasonal options to choose from — including in-house favorites Soaring Eagle Pilsner and Dancing Trees Hefeweizen — which all pair perfectly with their extensive food menu.
Mulberry Station Brewing
If you think the best way to enjoy beer is with a slice of pizza, then Mulberry Station Brewing Company is the place for you. Located at the site of the historic Chico Electric Railway, Mulberry Station serves up wood-fired pizza — always made with fresh ingredients and a signature cheese blend — along with handcrafted beers that range from light lagers to dark stouts. Whether you come for the beer and enjoy the pizza, or the other way around, you’re sure to find something delicious.

Ramble West Brewing
At the hyper-local Ramble West Brewing, savor a glass in their Chico taproom, stay for the game, pair your pint with a plate from a local food truck, or grab a six-pack or two to enjoy at home! With a strong focus on community, Ramble West Brewing is the perfect spot for getting together with your friends (and making new ones!).
