Sacramento loves beer. There are over 50 locally-owned breweries in the area and it’s hard to keep count, as a new one seems to pop up every day. Sacramento Beer Week, Capitol Beer Fest, California Brewers Festival, and a new one, Riverfront IPA Rumble are just some of the various beer events Sacramento puts on. Because yes, Sactown loves beer, but it also loves a party. Beer is really the only way to survive the Sacramento summer heat. When you’re sitting outside, drinking one with friends, and that Delta breeze comes by; it’s a perfect slice of summertime. Here are my top picks for the best places in Sacramento to sit outside and get a frosty, cold one.
