    Nutterzzzzz
    Weston P.

    Came in on a rainy day, which in hindsight wasn't ideal. It quickly became clear that the best seating is outdoors when the weather cooperates. Inside seating felt disorganized and a bit chaotic. I'm a fan of dark beers, so I tried the Nutterzzzzz. It had some interesting flavor notes, but overall it felt unbalance almost like a car engine misfiring. With a little more harmony between the flavors, it could be a really solid beer

    Another good Sacramento Brewery. Tried a hazy and a fresh hop wcipa, both were great with well balanced hops. The brewery itself has ample seating both inside and on the dog friendly patio. Seems to always be a food truck though I just stopped for beer this time. Perfect stop if you're in town or need a break as you drive through.

    On tap as of 3/4/26

    They have food trucks yum! Service is okay, nothing outstanding, the place is clean, could use some Updating. Has outdoor seating. Clean restrooms.

    I will say that "Moksa Brewing" is one of the better breweries in the greater Sacramento area. Located in the city of Rocklin and directly at the corner of Pacific St & Sunset Blvd, this place has been serving up some of the most delicious and tastiest beers dating back to early-2018. And to those reading this review, there is also a "Moksa Barrel House" which focuses way more on food since they are an actual restaurant that serves a wide variety of the beers that the brewing company offers. I came here during the evening of Friday 8/1/2025 at around 6:00pm while meeting up with a group of friends. Since the food truck, "Señor Burger" was hosting their delicious food offerings, we took advantage of that while enjoying our beer. However, since this review is specifically on Moksa Brewing, I will focus on everything that this business has to offer. First and foremost, the interior is quite impressive with a generous seating area. Additionally, there are a ton of beer barrels towards the rear of the business. And throughout, they offer some very cool merchandise that includes caps, beanies, t-shirts, hoodies, and outerwear. The beer selections are outstanding with a huge assortment of lagers, stouts, IPA's, and even a couple varieties of beer slushies. Since the weather was a warm but comfortable 89°F, we took full advantage by sitting at their generous outdoor patio area. Since it was the dog days of summer, my first drink of choice was their "Summerthyme" which was a light, refreshing lemon flavor and has an ABV of 5.2%. My second drink was far different as I was curious to taste what these slushies were all about. Therefore, I went with their "Lava Flow" which is a combination of Sunshine Fluff/Dragonade. It was a refreshing blend of sweet and sour while it was the perfect pairing for our burgers/fries. All in all, "Moksa Brewing" is an excellent place to enjoy and admire all different types of unique beers. And it caters from the rookie beer drinkers to the more seasoned veterans. With outstanding customer service, a huge assortment of progressive and unique options, and a cozy yet upscale interior, this is one of the better places in Placer County and the greater Sacramento area for that matter. My rating, a perfect five-stars.

    First I must say I am not a beer drinker. My Yelper hubby, Tom S. is a beer drinker. So we came here to try the Cousins Lobster Food Truck experience. This place has an amazing number of in house beers! And the description of the flavors seem to match the beer. Hubby ordered a beer that matched the description perfectly. Since I am not a beer drinker, I tried the Rice Lager, which is light and perfect on a hot day for me. Moksa has a big outdoor shaded patio, but it was 100 degrees when we arrived and I could not imagine dining and drinking out there! So we went inside and they have a good selection of seating, some TV's etc. The staff is courteous and friendly. They get the job done. We were there at 5:00 and just about every indoor table was taken. If you are a beer drinker, you should check this place out!

    Moksa has a nice open space inside with lots of windows. Also, has a large outside patio. Large selection of rotating beers. Plenty of Moksa merchandise to purchase & canned beers to go. Liked the Pilsner Both pet & kid friendly. No dining option. Friendly folks

    Was a very comfortable place to hang out drink beer with our dogs. They had live music. The service was really good. I'd go back.

    Great Beer!

    We been here before but stopped on the way home for a last round. 80's live band music, great beer, awesome environment and amazing food from West Coast Taco truck! Honestly the West Coast Fries and Carnitas Tacos from the menu was such a amazing combination to the beers and vibe that we had at Moksa brewery. The service was swift, delightful and we would definitely recommend others to attend or make it a first time visit

The people who work there are super open, friendly, and welcoming. There's a strong feeling of acceptance and warmth. Even though my English isn't perfect, they were so kind and made me feel completely comfortable, which honestly means a lot. They also recommended drinks, and wow -- everything I tried was genuinely delicious. And the coolest part: if you're not sure what you like or can't decide, they'll let you taste different drinks, which is such a nice touch. Another thing I loved is that you can buy really cool jewelry and interesting little things for your home. Everything fits the same aesthetic -- relaxed, artsy, slightly mushroom-core vibe -- and it all just works together so well. Overall, the vibe is unreal. Super cozy, inspiring, and warm. I 100% recommend checking this place out -- it might just become your perfect spot to spend time, chill, and feel good.

When the waiter brought my drink, I immediately noticed it didn't look like a traditional Piña Colada, and after tasting it, I confirmed it certainly didn't taste like one either. I politely asked if I could exchange it for a different drink. The waiter returned and said the manager wouldn't allow an exchange but would offer me 50% off instead. I explained that I wasn't happy with the drink and simply wanted to order something else. The manager came over and explained that the menu includes a disclaimer stating the cocktails are made with soju instead of the traditional liquor. In my opinion, the waiter should have mentioned that when I ordered, especially since it significantly changes the flavor. I hadn't noticed the disclaimer--I simply ordered what I thought would be a classic Piña Colada. Unfortunately, I was still charged half the price for a drink I didn't enjoy and wasn't allowed to order a replacement. The manager emphasized that it was too expensive for the restaurant to remake drinks, which I found disappointing. I've never had an experience like this at any other restaurant. On a positive note, I ordered the Reuben sandwich with fries, and it was delicious. That was the highlight of the meal. However, the service was also lacking. Our waiter was slow and couldn't answer several of our questions without repeatedly leaving to ask someone else. Because of the poor customer service and how the drink situation was handled, I won't be returning.

From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was welcoming and relaxed. The service was fantastic--super friendly, easygoing, and exactly what you hope for when you're settling in to enjoy a drink and unwind. Lots of areas there are to sit. Whether you want to be inside, out on the patio, or tucked into one of the many outdoor spaces, there's plenty of room to spread out. It's the kind of place where everyone feels comfortable. Families were out enjoying time together, kids running around having fun, and it was great to see so many people bringing their dogs along. We had our dog with us, which made the visit even better--any place that welcomes four-legged friends gets extra points. We tried a beer and a mead, and both were very good--refreshing and full of flavor. We also ordered a pizza, and despite the brewery being quite busy, it came out surprisingly quickly. Even better, it was delicious: hot, flavorful, and exactly what you want alongside a good drink. What really stood out was the overall vibe.

I was sitting at the high-top table right next to the register on the right. Once I finished my drink, I happened to be the next person in line anyway, since there was a person at the front register already being serviced & the person at the register closest to me had just received their drinks. The employee in the picture below asked to "help the next person in line." At that point, I'd already stood up and was waiting to get another & someone else had just walked in, but stood in the "main line." In retrospect, maybe I should've stood in that main line to begin with, but the employee clearly saw me standing there looking directly at her w/ an empty glass in my hand. Then after I spoke up & said I was indeed next in line, told me "Oh, well yeah...." & proceeds to let the gentleman who'd walked in after close his tab first. He didn't say/do anything when she asked who was next in line at first (b/c he came in after)...until she summoned him over. I informed her directly after that I'd heard cashiers calling people over from both sides & was just saving a step by going to the one that I would've ended up at anyway. As a manager in the service industry previously, I can't imagine not helping the only person that CLEARLY stated they were NEXT in line first. Lol

    This was such a cool find!…read more We came to town for a family members birthday party and wanted to stop by a brewery for lunch and check out the area. The place was way bigger than what I was expecting! The parking lot is huge, and it was packed! You order your beverage and food at the bar and they pour you your drinks and give you a pager for the food. I was impressed to see the food was coming out of a food truck for how large the venue is. I was drinking the Mexican lager, served with salt and lime. I thought it was super tasty, I liked it a lot. My husband was drinking the hazy ipa which had a pretty high percentage, I believe like a 7.5%! It was surprisingly easy to drink and fruity. Food we ordered the BLT and it was served with house made pickles and potato salad. The potato salad had cheddar cheese inside it, I like that twist. I ordered the pizza pretzel and at first thought $18.50 is pretty steep pricing for a pretzel but let me tell you, the pictures do not do the size justice. It is literally the size of a pizza! So big, covered in mozzarella cheese and fresh basil. Came with plenty of dipping sauce too. I loved it, it was so fresh and delicious, and perfect to share! I had more than half leftover to take home! Check this spot out it was pretty rad, they had live music and the vibes were great! We could've hung out here all day perfectly content.

Here's the hard truth, Hillenbrand has really good food and good beer. However, they are chasing away families left and right. Kids are not really welcome at all. The signs posted make it evident. The best seating area is marked with 21 and over on each and every table. I get it. Sometimes it's nice to have an adult only night out. However breweries in the area should decide who they want their customers to be. On a Thursday evening, it should really not be an issue for a family to have a nice night out. The highlight of our night for me was drinking beer out of a plastic cup. For the second round we asked for glassware, but were told we had to buy the glasses to have glassware. When we turned that down, we got a sales pitch for the monthly stein program. Sorry! For the monthly amount they want I'm pretty sure the winery around the corner has a better deal. We also asked if we could bring in our Hillenbrand glasses that we already have the next time to use and the girls behind the bar had no answer. The best part was when the bartender handed over the plastic beer cups and said enjoy your plastic. So the question is, next time we go out on a Thursday night to enjoy a beer and food is it going to be Hillenbrand or the 3 other breweries in the area. Also the girls behind the bar gratefully filled us in to the fact that Hillenbrand is not a brewery but in fact a bar. Too bad Ron wasn't there tonight. PS our two children were very well behaved and stayed by us the entire time we were there.
