Auburn Ale House

“Drink outside the bottle”

That is what Brian Ford encourages you to do when you go to the Auburn ale House.
Auburn Ale House received the people’s Choice Award at the 2nd Field of Dreams Brew Fest at Raley Field last month. This month there are three reasons to make the scenic drive up HWY 80.

On June 12, Brian and Chef Luis are offering a Four Course Dinner Party.
The first course features Black Tiger Prawns wrapped in Apple wood Smoked Bacon basted with jalapeno and cilantro glaze and cabbage salad paired with Miner’s Wheat Ale.
The Wheat Ale has a whopping 65% malted wheat grain bill and is filtered, yum!

If you like the sound of the first course, Brian wants you to know that the courses featured in the tasting are available on the menu as well. The Auburn Ale House menu features many courses from the sophisticated wrapped prawns to down home fair such as kobe burgers.

The dinner is held at the Basement Wines in Colfax. If you can’t make it on the 12th or if the event is completely booked there is another one offered on the 24th.
Menu details are online at http://www.auburnalehouse.com/ under events. Tickets may be purchased by calling Basement Wines 1(877) 346-9550.

The second reason to go up this month is Father’s Day (just in case you need another excuse).
A generous 16 oz. cut Porterhouse steak with you choice of beer will be available from 11:oo a.m.-10:oo p.m. Be sure to call 1(530) 885-2537 for reservations.
The Auburn Ale house is situated 1/10 of a mile from the original Auburn Brewery. This brewery produced beer for the town from 1855-1908. On tap is a Gold country pilsner, which may be an example of the pre-prohibition lager. Lagers are always a food friendly choice.

The third reason to make it to the beautifully restored, historic American Block Building is for their 1st anniversary. This is one celebration not to be missed. Brian is planning of three days of celebration and will be holding cask ale for the event. Planned for you is live music on the patio, $3.00 pints, and BBQ. There will also be lunch and dinner specials, raffle and door prizes. Who knows, you may be the proud owner of a “Drink Outside the Can” t-shirt or ball cap.

Auburn Ales are finely crafted beers. Currently they are only available at the brewery.
This ensures the freshest experience. You can try all the beers with the sampler flight. The flight is $6.oo. Plan on taking the ones you like best by purchasing a filled growler for $16.oo.

Whichever reason you choose, you will be able to sit anywhere in the restaurant and be several feet from enjoying the spotless stainless steel fermenters and mash tuns behind large panes of picture glass. The building was beautifully restored to complement this industrial feel of the historic building with details of warm wood accents, and exposed original brick.
Historic Auburn features lots of fun for the whole family. Plan on taking in the sites when you make the drive up there and wrap it up with a leisurely lunch or dinner on any day.
