June Lake Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in June Lake CA)

June Lake Brewing sits where the Sierra Nevada crowns a series of crystal‑clear lakes, and the water there is so pure the beer practically drinks itself. The crew (who cut their teeth at Cismontane and Mammoth Brewing) pours that mountain‑grown expertise into every batch, delivering IPAs that snap like a cold wind on a ridge, stouts as smooth as a snow‑capped slope, and sours that surprise you like a sudden summer thunderstorm. Their commitment to the local scene is palpable; the tasting room’s sleek décor and relaxed vibe feel less like a bar and more like a well‑deserved base camp after a day on the trails.

Beyond the core line‑up, the brewery stocks a crisp Japanese lager that could convince a skeptic that “imported” isn’t synonymous with pretentious, and it showcases a rotating selection from neighboring craft houses—proof that community is taken as seriously as hop ratios. When hunger strikes, a lineup of food trucks rolls in, offering enough variety to keep even the pickiest palate satisfied, while ample seating invites you to linger and soak up the unique blend of wilderness and camaraderie that defines June Lake Brewing.
