Cerveza El Dorado
I am happy to introduce our first Hwy 50 lager, a Mexican lager we’re calling Cerveza El Dorado. It’s on tap now, and I hope you’ll give it try—especially if you’re a fan of light crisp Mexican lagers.
I’ve always liked a good lager. When Diane and I go out to other breweries, I order a pilsner most times or some type of lager, because I enjoy the style so much. They have a lower alcohol volume too, so Diane can enjoy whatever beer she wants, and I can drive us home!

The Taproom
Our taproom is one big space with high ceilings and double roll-up doors onto an expansive patio with views of Apple Hill vineyards and forested hills. It's an open relaxed space where simply great beer and friendship can shine.
Hwy 50 Brewery is family friendly, dog friendly, U.S. Vet friendly ($1-off pints year-round with ID), and of course craft-beer-enthusiast friendly.
Swing by for a pint and a chat!
