Sacramento has always had the luxury of being able to drink fresh beer. The beer in the area is some of the best beer in the State of California. Now we have the pleasure of adding an organic brewery the list.
Greenhouse Restaurant in Roseville CA introduces the area’s first organic brewery.
The property has had a gorgeous 4BBl copper system in house since it was built back almost 10 years ago.
The Greenhouse Restaurant is appropriately named. The décor is very much like a greenhouse. When you first step in your eyes are drawn to the large glass domed ceiling. There is a large fiscus tree in the middle of the dining room. The walls have large paned windows, which allow light to softly pour in.
Speaking of pouring, the copper system has been put to the task of producing organic beer. There are six beers on tap now with a few more specialty beers on the way. The beer styles on tap are Pale Ale that is served on Nitrogen, which gives it a smoother more English appeal to the beer. Other great beers on tap include, Stout, American Wheat, Kolsch, Amber Ale, and English Brown Ale.
The beers are brewed to classic examples of style. The malt used for the beer is from Gambrinus. Brewer, Kevin Pratt says using the organic malts will limit him from producing some styles. Having over six beers on tap from a 4BBL system doesn’t sound limited to me.
Owner Cory Holbrook pushed the production of the beer in the restaurant because he wanted to have a say in the styles and how they were developed. This is a creativity that he wasn’t allowed to have using distributors.Cory is also staying true to his house brand of beer. The taps for beer other than what is brewed is limited to a few.
Not only are the beers organic, the selection of beers work very well with the remarkable food that is on the menu.
The menu changes with the season. This allows the menu to feature what is available locally.
Eating green never tasted does well. The organic meat tastes the way meat was intended. The texture and flavors are remarkably rich and delicate. The presentations of all the plates represent sophistication.
If you go to the web site you can check out the summer menu.
Everything from appetizers to dessert is sure to exceed expectations.
The Greenhouse also features spacious outside dining on a covered patio.
I have created a new system of ranking. The highest rank is “compelled to return”. I have returned to this place a dozen times and have never been disappointed by the beer, food, or the service.
Currently there are no growlers, or samplers.
