Crown Valley Brewing & Distilling

This place is quite a bit off the main highway, but is a good fit with all the wineries in the area. The brewery was quite busy but service was pretty good. They have a selection of all their beers on tap or bottle. You can get a sampler paddle to check out the beers and can also build a six-pack to go. There is a limited menu of munchies to go with the beers. Wine is available but recommend going to thier winery, which is not too far away. Enjoyable stop while on a winery tour.

Visited on a January 2012 afternoon, was surprised at the number of people in the brewery. The selection of beers was very good and everythinng was either on tap or by bottle. The staff was very friendly about their beers. The view is awesome, about two miles from their winery. Well worth the trip since you can visit another brewery within a few miles.

NOTE: the Google Map pin is wrong - it is much further from Hwy 32, past where Hwy B becomes Hwy F. But it’s easy to spot from the road. Very friendly staff. They have a nearly complete line up of their beers on draft. The bar has nachos, brats and big pretzels (as well as sandwiches available in the general store area). Surprising number of people there for as out of the way as it is. I’ll be back.

A beautiful piece of property and an equally beautiful facility. Crown Valley has one building for their winery, which is huge, and a facility for their brewery / distillery which is a few miles away. I had a couple of beers on draft at their very large bar. The Amber Lager was nice and a quality beer. Their Oktoberfest, on the other hand, well, read my rating. They also have mix-a-six for their bottled beers which number about 8. I grabbed all of the ones I had not yet rated and will work on them. This is just a top notch facility in every way.

The Crown Valley brewery is located on State Route F, a short distance from the Crown Valley winery. The building seems either new or completely renovated. The interior is all wood, very clean, with a lot of charm and a ton of space. There is a really long bar and probably 40 tables inside, with a patio area that might have even more tables along with a big fire pit area. There are 10 taps, with almost everything the brewery does at a given time, give or take a seasonal or two. Samplers are 4 for $4, 8 for $7, or 10 for $10. Big drafts are $4, but there were a couple $2 sale drafts when I visited. They have a table where you can build your own 6-pack to take home, and that came out to only $8. I didn’t try any of the food. The staff is very friendly and the prices can’t be beaten. I visited with a group of 21 in between a few wineries in the area, and this wound up being everyone’s favorite place.
