Alehouse Pub — Restaurant in Redding

Surrounded by numerous hotels, that house mostly construction workers, freight movers, and road trip passerbys, this place exudes serious locals/working class only vibes. But with a craft beer twist.

Better head to the liquor store if you want domestic.

Unfortunately the execution is lazy and typical of a place that only cares to cater to their regulars who order the same things every visit.

The place isn't big, and has their menu posted on a chalkboard in the center of the bar. It can barely be read due to poor lighting and the fact that someone thought it a good idea to use dark green chalk.

30+taps but don't expect them all to be available. Coupled with multiple taps dedicated to single breweries, don't expect as much variety as implied.

The variety was objectively above average; 3 nitro, 2 sours, 2 ciders, a few IPA (no hazy), 3 Belgian strong but also decidedly skewed with 5 seltzers, 1 lager, and no red, brown, or pale ales. Most of the beers are from California breweries south of Redding. Ashame nothing was hyper local. Bottles were virtually non-existent. I'm sure the list will change somewhat in a few weeks to months, but don't expect anything else to.

Bring your own food. Last call is at 1030pm. Be prepared to be outta there...

The Alehouse is probably the best bar in Redding if you're a beer enthusiast. They always have a ton of amazing brews on tap of basically every kind. They have light ales, porters, a bunch of IPA's (my least favorite, but my friends who like IPA's Saturday they're good), and frequently at least a few sours. The vibe is chill, the music is good, and the service is friendly.

It's a little spendy. Parking isn't the best, but they share a lot with a chain sports bar, so you can easily park there. That's it. That's the extent of the negative portion of the review.

If you've got a few spare bills and want to try some excellent beers in a very relaxed atmosphere, go to...

I was actually able to find an imperial stout and a dopple on draught in the middle of summer...that's a rare thing and worth the drive from Corning for a date night with a fellow brew afficionado. Fair prices and wide, well varied selection with a handful of good bottle choices just to cover the spread. It smelled a little musty like a dive bar, but the atmosphere was relaxing and people were friendly with live sports on the easily visible TVs. If you're looking for fresh draught of an out of season brew through clean lines... This...
