I was so surprised at the beauty of the Building and the brewery equipment. Then I entered the…read morerestaurant and first of all, the service was amazingly good. Khya took the best care of us. We were easy - same exact dish and drinks for us both and she recommended the steak skewer with our salad. We had the Mexican themed salad that had roasted corn in it and I died and went to heaven eating that salad. The lime dressing was sooo good. The meat was so tender and tasty. No gristle!!!! I was fully expecting some but it was perfect meat. Well flavored and perfectly cooked. Not only did our server give us the best advice, she also sent us out the door with a refill of iced tea. In this heat, that is so kind. She probably saved me from dehydration!! We had the nicest drive back to the Bay Area. We talked about coming back with our manly men. They would love this place. Chico is just as nice and less expensive than the Bay Area. I recommend visiting this lovely restaurant and brewery. I would have had the beer but I can't mix alcohol and heat that I'm not used to. So... in the immortal words of the Terminator, "I'll be back!" I am so embarrassed! I forgot to take pictures!!!! I was that bowled over!

My favorite part was the food. My girlfriend loved the Chicken Saltimbocca, she says,"I love the…read moresauce and how much of it they put on the plate one of the most flavorful style of potatoes I've ever had. The only thing is I wish the breading was a bit better on the chicken, but still a 10 out of 10 dish." I also admire their focus on sustainability, their seasonal menu, as well as their local partnerships. A combination of upscale but affordable and perfect for a date night. The copper accents are beautiful and the seating was comfortable. Unfortunately, it was super busy so I would recommend sitting outside for a more romantic and private ambience. My blackened salmon tacos were delicious and we cleaned off the plate within a handful of minutes. I really loved the pickled onions on the side and the crispy outside layer of the salmon pieces. Shout out to our server, kaylee for giving us as much attention as she could, despite the business!

We took the Brewery Tour and Tasting which was 60 minutes long. Our tour guide, Jack, took us…read morethrough a brief history of the company and talked us through the process of making beer. I would consider this more of a straightforward educational tour, rather than one that gives you a dad joke per minute (this could be a pro or a con depending on who you are). I thought one of the most interesting parts was stepping into the refrigerated hop storage area and being able to hold a hop cone and smell everything. The tour ends with a tasting of four beers and we each got a souvenir keychain. The Brewery Tour and Tasting was $13.26 per person after tax. If you remove the cost of the beer and the keychain, the tour itself is

Visiting Sierra Nevada Brewing's original facility in Chico has been on my brewery bucket list for…read moremany years. It was at the same time unexpected and also exactly as I had imagined. The brewery is outside of downtown on a huge campus. Public free parking is covered and nearby, you can see the employee entrance and all the brewery buildings beyond. The restaurant & bar entrance is closest to the parking (see separate review), but there's so much more to see on your visit. For beer fans, the highlight will probably be the taproom and merchandise shop in the farther building. It definitely felt like the employee bar, with many clearly finishing shifts for a beer before heading home. It's a small bar, but has an amazing tap selection including some not available to try anywhere else. They have small tables too, which overlooks like the tour entrance area and merchandise store. It's huge and there's a ton of swag. You can also get all their fresh cases and special bottled selections to go, again including some not available elsewhere. Prices are reasonable and it's definitely worth a stop! If you want to do a tour, they offer many different ones including ones with special tastings but they should be booked ahead of time.

Visited June 8 2026. See both receipts…read more I finally got to visit this location with my boyfriend and puppy. Dog friendly! What a cool place with inside and outside dining and even cornhole! We split some type of massive burger with 2 patties and garlic parm fries. First of all I couldn't even get my mouth around the burger...too big! I cut a small corner off and it was juicy and very tasty! I had a glass of chardonnay and my boyfriend got a glass of El Toro. Plus we bought a big can of El Toro to go ( i think they call it a growler??) Atmosphere is relaxing and they brought a bowl of cold water for my puppy ( i actually carry treats and water with me). They have a nice merch shop attached to the restaurant so I bought my boyfriend a t shirt as well( he put it on right away..lol ) The waitress ( Diedra) was super cool and helpful making it a even more fun experience! Thanks Laura in the merch shop. Both ladies very kind and helpful! Its a great setting in an area that is being built up. A must stop! Great time!

Instead of…read morefollowing the trends, they seem to have figured out the KISS (Keep it simple students) principle and to treat your customer well. Stopped by on way to Chico during a recent visit on a day they were closed. I placed an online order for pickup only to realize when I arrived that the brewery location is closed for much of the week. On me for the error. I've made that mistake previously and dealt with employees who just ignored me and those that chose to acknowledge me that I needed to come back when they were open. The staff here now only acknowledged me, they went the extra mile to alleviate the error. Service was beyond great and they made me feel valued. I visited the Chico taproom/restaurant location and the product matches the service level. I tried one of the infused (peach) beers and it was very well balanced and easy to drink on the hot day. Hard to brew a simple lager that does not have any "off tastes". They seemed to figured out how to do it. Breweries that are struggling can take note from Farmer's. Lots of great beers and instead of trying to become viral with some crazy Quadruple Hazy Hybrid Pastery Barrel Aged Sour concoction, treat your customer well and make a good clean beer and you'll be successful like I think Farmer's will be/continue to be. If you are in the area, worth the visit as you'll see what craft breweries used to be like before it became overly commercialized.

I visited here on Sunday for dinner. That elk burger with the blackberry sauce sounds fantastic…read more Game meat can sometimes lean too earthy or dry, but the sweetness and acidity from blackberry is a good balance.
