Elevation 66 Brewing Company (Craft Beer & Brewery in El Cerrito CA)

Elevation 66 Brewing Company in El Cerrito, California has been quietly turning the notion of a “brewpub” on its head since 2011. What you get is a hand‑crafted roster of house‑brewed ales and lagers that change as often as the menu, complemented by a rotating line‑up of guest taps from other California microbreweries. The result is a constantly fresh palette that never feels stale, and a guarantee that every visit could introduce you to a new favorite.

The food follows the same philosophy: burgers that are juicy enough to make a meat‑lover weep, sandwiches stacked with locally sourced fillings, and crispy fries and homemade chips that crunch with purpose. Specials shift with the seasons, pulling produce straight from nearby farms and bakeries, so the plate feels as local as the pint. Walls adorned with community art turn the space into a modest gallery, while the cozy interior makes it the sort of place where neighbours gather for celebrations, catered events, or simply a quiet pint. In short, Elevation 66 delivers consistent quality, inventive flavors, and a genuine love of craftsmanship—all without the pretension.
