Mattie Groves Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Sacramento CA)

Mattie Groves Brewery is a Sacramento‑based, woman‑ and family‑run operation that takes its name from a centuries‑old British folk song and treats every glass like a verse. The brewers marry tradition with innovation, rolling out everything from razor‑sharp pilsners to moody, chocolate‑laden stouts. Each pint carries a narrative—whether it’s a nod to a distant culture or a tribute to a local landmark—so the drinking experience feels more like listening to a good story than merely gulping down alcohol.

The taproom is a convivial arena for board‑game addicts, food‑pairing enthusiasts, and, of course, dogs (the resident pooch Laika even has beers named after her). Patrons can indulge in a surprisingly extensive tinned‑fish menu while watching the owners greet newcomers with their friendly husky (a subtle homage to space exploration). Generous pours accommodate the brewery’s “smaller” experimental batches, and the coffee‑flavoured porter has earned a reputation as a must‑try for anyone who believes caffeine and malt should get along. All in all, Mattie Groves blends storytelling, craftsmanship, and a warm community vibe into a brew‑house that feels genuinely worth the trip.
