Moonraker Brewing Company

Huge warehouse space on the outskirts of Auburn, not far from Knee Deep. The bar is sort of in the back of the space and they have some indoor seating as well as a big beer garden area outside with picnic tables and some cornhole sets. Huge number of beers on tap with most of them being some form of pale ale or IPA (or double IPA), though they also do some stouts, strong ales, and (more recently) some sour beers. The beer quality from these guys is generally pretty good, though they do have the occasional miss. It's definitely a drive to get here from the Bay Area, but well worth a stop if you're out in the Sacramento area.

Large place located in a light industrial area north of town a couple blocks from a general aviation airport and one block from Knee Deep Brewing. Tiny parking lot for such a big place but on a weekend nearby businesses were closed, expanding option. Long bar in the middle of the place, indoor seating closed when I visited. Out back is a huge covered patio with tone of seating, divided into clean air and vaping/smoking sections. Staff is friendly knowledgeable and helpful. Five hazy IPAs five WC IPAs, two kettle sours and a peanut butter stout on offer when I visited. Flights of four to ten are possible. Obviously I skipped the NEIPAs but the rest were decent enough, nothing exciting. Rotating food trucks start at noon though the bar opens at 11. I didn’t say any pets, and no signs to suggest a policy. Wouldn’t it be nice if they had pet and non pet areas? Same for kids

Have seen these guys a bunch in the Bay Area and finally made the trip to the mothership on the way back from Tahoe. What a great brewery. Downside is very heavy on IPAs (especially hazy IPAs - it's what these guys apparently like). But each hazy IPA is a bit different and where they add ingredients / change hop varieties, you can really taste them. Their stouts are big and chewy and awesome. Huge space with a food truck - think converted warehouse. Indoor and outdoor, bunch of rooms with TVs. Service was prompt. Flights of 4-8 and, again, it's Moonraker so everything is great. A few cans / bottles to take home as well as some merch (the salsa was superb). This is a place worth going out of your way for. Basically a west coast version of Other Half. That's high praise.

Located near the airport in Auburn, in an industrial park, about a block from Knee Deep. Small interior space, kind of dark, tables and chairs. A big beer garden is attached with rows of picnic tables. Food truck availalbe. Got there when it opened on a Sunday, and then it was a steady stream of customers, lots of families too. Tap list was predominantly hazies, a few IPAs and sours. One stout. Flights available.

Well, well, well...I finally got to visit Moonraker Brewing and I was not disappointed! This place has an excellent vibe to it! It has a different feel in each area. The outdoor area is nice...with the lights at night...right next to the food truck (they have excellent selections depending on the day)...the indoor area next to the bar feels like a normal brew pub with energy and volume...and the Barrel Room...this...if you don't have kids and are on a date or even alone (if available), the barrel room is fantastic...a little quieter and a little more private than out front. It has a great vibe to it with the trendy tables, fantastic lighting, and barrels up against the walls, this is a great spot for a date! And, i am not sure who picks the music, but it was a fantastic mixture of up to date, "cool vibe", selections. The customer service was fantastic, especially the owner's daughter and Alyssa (sp?)! They really made me feel welcome and put up with all my questions and excitement! I highly recommend this Brewery, even if it is a bit of a drive from the Sacramento Area...it is well worth it! Not your normal brewery experience in an industrial area!! I even got to meet Dan the Man (one of the owners)!

This was my first stop of the trip, and holy hell. Large place with multiple rooms, including a couple of different dining rooms, the bar room and a large outdoor patio area. Brewing equipment right there for the world to see as well. Really busy early Friday afternoon, it took a while to get served. Flights available, or you can just order sample sized pours of anything. Beer quality very high, as expected. They also had two cans to go in four packs, and of course crowlers available. Tap list is certainly hoppy beer centric, but when they are making them as good as these guys, I say bring it on. They were getting set up for live music when I was leaving; with a stage in the outside patio area. Loads of fun and super high quality here.

Located in rural North Auburn, this new brewery is nicely constructed. Lots of space, 8 stool bar, several tables, private party space. Unobtrusive music, pleasant barkeeps and nice customers. The brewing equipment is right next to the bar. 24 beers on tap, heavy on the IPAs, but good quality.

Lots of space in here as there is outdoor seating and 2 1/2 side rooms in addition to the main bar/tasting area. Thoroughly impressed with their line-up, especially the hoppy stuff. Will be back many times I’m sure. 2nd visit even more fun - sat in the spacious dog-laden outdoor area and had a blast. Friendly service, great beer. One of the best between Reno and SF for sure.

I love this Place! Great Local guys and Eco friendly to.
