    The Altons
    Rita A.

    A friend took us out to a concert at the Sierra Nevada Brewing Event Center. Tickets can be purchased online for upcoming events. It's a large spaciousness event room that's combined with table seating and a center floor for dancing and a standing audience. They offered specialty beers, soda, tea and a selection of wines. We came for bands originally from East LA, Thee Sinseers and a group called, The Altons. It was a phenomenal experience and the atmosphere was high vibing for all ages. I loved my experience and recommend you check it out for their special events and your upcoming events.

    Ahi nachoes piled high of goodness
    Dee C.

    No plans on a fall Saturday. So we drove out to SNB. Elise served us and was very friendly knowledgeable and recommended a tasty beer flight full of my favorite hazy beers. We also ordered the Ahi Nachos. The waitress quickly brought them to our table. The cute couple behind us almost tackled us for them because they were piled high lol. They promised to get them on their next visit. The nachoes were so good. We didn't care for the pickled cucumber but oh well we just layed them aside. Every thing else was loaded with goodness. Even though the restaurant was full and lively with families we chose it sit outside due to the lovely fall weather and nice outdoor patio seating. One small draw back (I love dogs but....) I had to face one large dog snapping at flies as I tried to enjoy my ahi nachoes. The dog owner tried but perhaps her dog could have been chillin comfy by her side and the wall ijs.

    The Big Little Thing IPA (Imperial IPA) from Sierra Nevada Brewing.

    Steve and I hoped into Sierra Nevada Brewing again. We have had this brewery before... and with it being distributed widely it's hard not to notice. The latest beer that we had up to this point from Sierra Nevada is the Big Little Thing IPA. We haven't had this beer before and it was good. Flavor features with this IPA are hoppiness, strong, smooth, fruity and earthy. I especially liked the smoothness with this beer as more than enough IPA'S don't come off as smooth in their flavor profiles and it's something I've really grown to be fond of with beers.

    Have it your way!

    The brewery tour was more and better than expected. I thought Sierra Nevada was a big company now, but they're conscious of their roots and values. Two separate taprooms, one in the restaurant and one at the tour start/finish and merch shop. Some variant brews not found elsewhere.

    Salmon to-go... disappointing
    Eddie S.

    Traveling from out of town. Ordered the salmon to go... should've just ordered from Applebee's as planned. I thought it would come with mashed potatoes. My fault for misunderstanding the menu.

    Great tour offered for only $11. The tour was fun, informative and we were able to see all the love, resourceful ways, and creative ideas the brewery puts into each beer.

    First the tour was an amazing experience, and would recommend to other had a great. Very interesting and informative. The taproom was restaurant was great too and their wood fired pizza oven.

    Seeing all the mush
    Tory M.

    I can literally not hype this tour up enough. I mean it doesn't make me want to get "SIERRA NEVADA" across my forehead but it's as close as I can reasonably get. The tours are so fun and engaging. It's an hour of information and beer. I've never had a bad tour guide and our latest tour with Emily was super fun! Every tour guide is knowledgeable, friendly and fun. It is a functional factory so you have to remember to wear close toed shoes and get ready to walk at least for 1/2 the time. It can be a little warm but really, it's just so fun. I recommend dinner in the taproom next door after; it's the perfect Chico activity.

    We decided to try this place based on the many wonderful reviews regarding the food and ambience…read more The outside patio looked very appealing with a huge shade tree and if it weren't chilly outside, it looked like a nice place for a meal and a beer. Not sure if it was on "off" day for the chef but the Shepherds pie had zero flavor as if no spices or salt was used. The celery and carrots were undercooked and crunchy. There was hardly any meat and veg compared to the amount of potatoes on top. Potatoes also had no flavor of salt or butter. So bland and blech! Aside from the taste of the terrible food, the prices were way too high for the amount of food..$26 for a very small shepherds pie. There is no wait staff. You place your order at the counter. Once we ordered and paid for two shepherds pies (with the tip upfront) we found a table and sat down. The cashier then came to tell us there was only one shepherds pie left (on a Saturday at 5:30 in the evening?) and we could order something else and since we had already paid, he would give us another drink or something to offset the difference. We then ordered The Rancher. This also had hardly any filling with a puff pastry on top. Again, way overpriced at $24. We didn't get another drink to make up for the price difference. On top of all this, the Saturday evening "entertainment" was a group of senior citizens singing songs from the 50's and 60's very LOUDLY. It was a strange choice for a weekend night at a bar. No offense to the singers but wow, it was awkward as you feel as if you have to give a bit of applause since they are literally right next to the table. We left after eating a small amount and went to find dinner somewhere else.

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.
