Sonoma Springs Brewing Co.

This little brewery and taproom, tucked away just outside of Sonoma's walkable downtown area, offers locally-brewed California ales, German-style beers and barrel-aged brews for a sudsy alternative to the abundance of wine in the area. Stop by for a Sonoma Springs Kolsch, light, dry and refreshing on a hot summer day, and one of the breweries' classics. Be sure to ask about any limited release brews or barrel-aged projects on hand, like the "Women Are Smarter" saison brewed with rose petals, star jasmine, hibiscus and cardamom. Throwing a party? Grab a keg to go, or better yet, host your party here.
