Loomis Basin Brewing Company

Goodtimes for adults. We have only been to the brewery once and that was after having their beer on tap another local bar. Not a big fan of the foodtruck thing but many are. Can’t wait for the downtown location to open.

Great local brewer. I have had their IPAs on tap at my house and enjoy visiting the smallish tasting room. Looking forward to the opening of the restaurant in Loomis!

Outstanding! First visit last Friday. Love the vibe. Love the beer. Wish it stayed open later.
I didn’t catch the name of the taco truck that was outside but MAN! those were some delicioso and caliente tacos. Amazingly good with the Vindicator IPA…
I’m hooked on LBB

We are rarely in this area. So we have tried twice to go to this brewery. The first time, they were closed for a vacation. It was not posted on their website. The 2^nd time, we had our 12 year old with us & they would not let us in. We thought they may have food there according to their website but appears that they have food trucks.

It’s been crowded both times that I’ve gone, including right when they open at 3 p.m. I don’t like crowds. :(
A tasting tray costs $ 8.50 and comes with six 4.5oz pours. Here is what I thought:
Kinda Liked:
1. Vindicator IPA
2. Avenger Double IPA (best I tried)
3. Buxom Blonde Pils
Just Okay:
1. Golden Eagle Mandarin Wheat
2. Swetzer Pale Ale
3. MacGowan Scottish Ale
Didn’t Like:
1. Alohauk aka Big Boy
Didn’t Try:
1. Red Robin Ale
2. Brew Daddy Oatmeal Stout
3. Get Back Jack Porter
The service was very friendly, but the crowd who hangs out here is not my thing. Come check them out to see for yourself.

Loomis basin has my favorite beer of all time (Alohawk) the red is a great brew too. The atmosphere is very relaxing and welcoming

Love this place! They don’t have a huge range of beer but what they have is excellent and very reasonably priced. There’s an indoor bar area, which is quite small but with a great feel, then a much larger outdoor area with covered tables, misters in summer… and corn hole (which is new to me but I doubt I will improve much with time ;) The working brewery is in full view if you need something other than the bottom of your beer glass to stare at.
Although they don’t serve food themselves, they have regular food trucks (dates advertised on the board inside) to help soak up some of the beer. Plenty of parking in an overflow lot next door.
Will definitely be back!

Rude service. Won’t be back. I don’t even really care for their beers. My hubby does but even he doesn’t want to support them anymore! Goathouse brewery in Lincoln is much better, awesome service and beer and even family friendly!

Wonderful beer, superb environment, and did I mention the beer? They bring in the best food trucks, and live music. And its wrapped up in a small town homey feel… It’s welcoming and relaxing. a great place for a date, or just playing for cornhole with a group of friends. If you love craft beer, and a chill environment, please visit, and enjoy!

We went to check out Loomis Basin because we were in the area and had heard good things about their beer.
Loomis Basin has a small bar to order you beer from and a large seating area outside! You can grab a seat indoors or outdoors. Outside they had a bunch of picnic tables that were covered and a cool deck area with lots of tables.
I ordered the double IPA and it was very good! Next time I will have to order one of their flights because I saw a few people walking around with them and they looked pretty awesome.
Loomis Basin Brewing gets five stars for great atmosphere, great beer and great service!

Truly a great family owned and run craft brewery, with a varied rotation of food trucks for grub. For this craft brew lover, their «Vindicator» IPA, is one of the best (available in draft, bottles, or growler fills to go), as well as their pale, wheat, stout and scotch ales.
Having a $ 4 pint in the outdoor area can be one of the best moments of my week, with friendly patrons and a top notch staff. On weekends, things can get crowded, similar to «Out of Bounds», or, Boneshaker” (never quite as bad as those two, thankfully) with live music. Buy a $ 40, or $ 100 beer card and the price of that pint drops into the $ 3+ range.
Leave the rug rats at home, as this wonderful spot is kid free!“
So glad these folks are out there.

We hit this place up on a Tuesday. It was pretty hot so we sat inside and each ordered flights so we could try what they had to offer. The flight pretty much covered all their beers on tap I think there were only two that weren’t included and then a couple that they only offered in bottles.
We are totally IPA/​Stout people but were actually surprised to find our favorite was the Golden Eagle Madarin Wheat. Wow what a great beer. It’s hard in summer to be in the mood for heavy beers so this refreshing beer hit the spot without lacking flavor or luster. It was a total shock but a happy surprise to find a lighter beer to enjoy. I have since found it in Whole Foods and Total wine and can say it is just as good in the bottle.
As for the rest there was nothing else that particularly stuck out in a good or bad way.
The space inside is pretty small, but on a day with cooler weather they had a much larger outdoor space.
The food truck there was ridiculously good. «Doggie Style Hotdogs» He made one with shredded pork on top and it was just crazy good. Really nice guy who loves what he does so that was awesome.
This really is a solid little brewery and not to far of a drive from Roseville.

I really wanted to like Loomis Basin Brewing, especially after attempting to visit several times and missing their open hours. I love the beer boom in the Sacramento region, and Placer County seems to be brewing up a lot of great options. Their hours and location are a little challenging, but they place seems popular. Unfortunately, the beers I sampled at Loomis Basin seemed to miss the mark.
On my visit, I had their standard sampler with 6 beers. Their mandarin wheat and ESB were OK, but the rest did not have a lot of good flavor and did not hit my palate well. This was somewhat surprising given the popularity of the place. The brewery itself was nice and eclectic with a big TV and an open brewery. Staff were nice and even sympathized with my poor beer experience, but still this place is really about the beer.
Loomis Basin sells their beer in regional distribution, and I recommend sampling it before heading over. If you like it, I think you will have a better time than I did.

The only beer that we were interested in was the stout and it was only available in a bottle that was refrigerated. Even the bartender acknowledged that it would be better room temperature. That would help but I’m not sure that the flavor would improve that much.
Atmosphere wasn’t very welcoming. More of a place where locals gather.

A friend and I stumbled upon this place, after discovering Boneshaker Community Brewery to be closed on a Tuesday! Loomis wasn’t too far away, so we took the short drive. It’s definitely a nice, casual-​laid-​back community hangout. The server there knew patrons by name. The TVs provided some entertainment too. Patio for visitors in the back if there’s a crowd up front.
We were allowed to sample a few bars, which worked out great! We weren’t interested in doing a tasting of all the beers; neither of us like really dark beers. As a person that seldom drinks beer, I was drawn to the lighter tasting Alohawk beer. I got two glasses, or two pints, for $ 8. Not bad at all, plus we snacked on their pretzels. That’s all they had to eat. Great thing they have a variety of outside vendors (food trucks) come in the afternoons, with a nice detailed summary, by date, of the different vendors and bands that’ll be by in view. This particular day, North Border Taco came by. Best $ 5 I’ve spent in awhile for two tacos.
This establishment doesn’t have a huge selection of beers, but the neighborhood patrons and the staff were quite friendly!

All the beers are top shelf. Be careful as it is a bit tough to find in a business park. Would love to have more tv’s and seating.

The first time we came (I think it was around 1PM on a Saturday), they were closed which I thought was odd. They have later hours, so be sure to check before visiting. We came on beer week, and I loved all the beers! I especially like the Alohawk — so smooth and refreshing. They have a nice outdoor patio with firepit and pizza oven which I bet is awesome in the summer.

Cool place! We did Ocktober fest, unfortunately the food there was catered and only took cash, It’s 2014… get a cube! Loomis basin takes cards and beer choices were good! Servers were cute and dressed nice for the occasion! Their resident cat is fun and playful, board games, tv, you name it!
Most beers are on the hoppy/​bitter side, be nice to get some whiskey barrel, and maltier stouts on board.
Parking was a bit limited and neighbor businesses clearly will tow, so be careful where you park.

This place is great. They keep improving things for the customers like having live music and installing misters outside. They have not expanded their selection in terms of beer much but they really do not need to change much. Only draw back is that they are closed on Sunday and Monday. Food truck selection is pretty good and the crowd which seems to be all locals are really cool. Second best brewery in the Sacramento area in my opinion behind knee deep.
Cheers!

Delicious beer, cool vibe. Their beers are good and they all taste completely different from one another. Also loved the little taster board and the info card that described the beers, the IBRs and the flavors infused. Very helpful!
The seating area is cool too, i didn’t even notice that they had outdoor seating area until i left. For some reason it was barred off yet full of people.
Overall a nice place. They had a Mexican — asian fusion food truck just outside the brewery, that was convenient. Nice to have some spicy korean burritos while you taste the beer.
Good experience, good beer, good excellent California weather. I’ll be back if i’m ever in the area again.
