Claimstake Brewing Company — Restaurant in Rancho Cordova

I really wanted to like Claimstake Brewing company. This brewery was recommended to me by a friend. I realize everyone has difference tastes in beer and preferences in breweries. If you don't mind sweat dripping down your back from lack of air-conditioning. Or beer that all taste the same. Then this is your type of brewery. I would recommend a better air-conditioning system, be more inventive in your beer/stouts/sours and signage at the curb to direct customers to your brewery. Judging from the outdoor stage, I can imagine this could be a fun place to visit. It was difficult to find the entrance. I don't recommend going to the end of the industrial center, it's a little sketchy. IG:...

This brewery has imprinted itself into my brain and it's the first place I'd recommend to anyone in the Sacramento area, and I currently live in San Diego....
