Winter in East Sacramento calls for cozy vibes, good company, and, of course, great beer. If you want to warm up your evenings with a pint or two, Porchlight Brewing Co. is the spot to be. Located at 866 57th Street, this local brewery has been serving up craft beer since 2017 and has become a favorite hangout for families, friends, and even furry companions.
Beer for Every Taste Bud
Porchlight Brewing Co. takes pride in its rotating selection of craft beers. They brew a little bit of everything, so whether you’re into IPAs, stouts, lagers, or sours, there’s a good chance you’ll find something that hits the spot. Their menu changes every couple of months, which keeps things fresh and exciting for regulars and newcomers alike.
This winter, expect to find some seasonal brews that pair perfectly with chilly Sacramento evenings. While their exact lineup is always evolving, Porchlight is known for experimenting with flavors that reflect the season. Think rich porters or spiced ales that feel like a hug in a glass. Not into heavy beers? No problem—there’s usually something crisp and light on tap for those who prefer a refreshing sip.
Family and Dog-Friendly Vibes
One of the best things about Porchlight Brewing is its welcoming atmosphere. This isn’t one of those breweries where you feel out of place if you’re not a hardcore beer aficionado. It’s a space where everyone can feel comfortable—whether you’re bringing the kids along or your four-legged friend.
The brewery has an indoor taproom where you can escape the winter chill and enjoy your beer in a laid-back setting. On warmer days (or if you’re bundled up enough), their outdoor seating area is perfect for relaxing with your drink while the kids or dogs hang out nearby.
Food Trucks and Local Eats
What’s beer without good food? Porchlight Brewing often hosts food trucks to keep your stomach as happy as your taste buds. From tacos to barbecue to comfort food classics, there’s usually something delicious parked outside their doors. The schedule varies, so checking their social media pages for updates on what’s cooking is worth checking.
If food trucks aren’t your thing or you’re craving something specific, Porchlight also allows you to bring your own food. Grab takeout from one of East Sacramento’s many local restaurants and enjoy it alongside your beer.
Weekly Deals and Events
Porchlight Brewing knows how to keep things interesting with weekly deals and events. There’s always something happening here, whether it’s discounts on pints or special releases of new brews. They also host trivia nights occasionally—perfect for flexing your random knowledge while sipping on a cold one.
Watch for holiday-themed events or limited-edition beers that celebrate the festive spirit during the winter season. These little touches make Porchlight more than just a place to grab a drink; it’s a community hub where people come together to share good times.
