The Brewery In Northern California Features Magnificent Riverfront Views

As the weather warms up in Northern California, it’s only natural to desire to be near the water. Luckily, we have so many river-front and ocean-front restaurants, bars, and hotels to choose from in this beautiful state. One riverfront brewery in Northern California we want to put on your radar is Stumptown Brewery in Guerneville. This laid-back, unpretentious brewery is located adjacent to the Russian River, and just about 20 minutes from wine country.

Located on a two-acre riverfront setting, this is a must-visit place if you want to enjoy a brew with a view!

Stumptown first opened in 1997 and is famous for having the largest beer garden on the river. If you’re not in the mood for a beer, stop by for some of their hearty pub food dishes.

Stumptown Brewery has inside seating, as well as seating on their large deck, plus picnic tables on the grass in front of the river.

Inside the brewery visitors will find a cozy and eclectic space. Warm wood-paneled walls add vintage charm to this cozy bar.

They offer a long list of homemade brews on tap.

So whether you like a pale ale, an I.P.A., or a porter, they’ll probably have something to suit your taste.
