This award-winning brewery makes its own ales—everything from a light hefeweizen to a stout. It may be famous for its beers, but the pub-style food is good, too. While you're enjoying a sandwich or ribs, a brewmaster in a white jumpsuit may come up to the vats and tweak some knobs and switches. Open Monday and Saturday from 11 am, Sunday from 10 am (kitchen closes at 9 pm every night). $$-$$$. Most major credit cards. 2713 El Paseo Lane, Sacramento. Phone 916-485-3041. http://www.sacbrew.com.
