Ruhstaller’s basement Sacramento taproom is dog-friendly! It is located between 7th and 8th streets on the walkable block of K Street. Enjoy the 14 rotating taps which include small batch R+D beers.
With beers brewed using homegrown hops, locally grown and malted grain, and processed well water, along with any local produce such as seasonal fruit, vegetables, herbs, and flowers, Ruhstaller Brewery is honing in on Sacramento-grown beer. This approach allows for a deep exploration of the regional and seasonal expressions of the Sacramento Valley. The next step for Ruhstaller Brewery is to capture and cultivate native yeast from their farm environment for unique fermentation projects. This will complete the circle: grain, hops, water, and yeast, all sourced locally.
Ruhstaller Brewery embraces the unique opportunity to explore concepts of terroir and regionality, which are not available to all breweries. Historically, brewing with local ingredients was the default option, with beers from England, Germany, Belgium, France, Japan, and other countries being expressions of their regions, using what the land provided.
Ruhstaller Brewery aims to return to that original inspiration, embracing the offerings of the local community and digging deeper into what makes Sacramento beers unique. They are well on their way to discovering the distinct characteristics of Sacramento-grown beer.
Kids, dogs and well-behaved adults are welcome!
