From small-batch IPAs to rare European imports, Old Hangtown Beer Works curates a collection that turns a simple visit into a discovery — right in the heart of historic Placerville.
Old Hangtown Beer Works was born from a simple belief: that the best beer experiences come from genuine expertise and an unwavering commitment to quality. In the gold-mining heart of El Dorado County, we've built something that shines just as bright.
Our shelves and taps are stocked with carefully sourced selections — from neighboring California microbreweries to imported craft from Belgium, Germany, and beyond. Whether you're a casual drinker or a self-proclaimed hophead, you'll find something that speaks to you.
What sets us apart isn't just what we carry — it's how we help you choose. Every visit is an opportunity to learn, explore, and discover a new favorite. That's the Old Hangtown difference.
From hop-forward West Coast IPAs to rich, malty stouts — our rotating selection ensures there's always a new story waiting to be poured.
Bold, aromatic, and relentlessly hoppy — our IPA rotation features the best from California and beyond.
Velvety, complex, and deeply satisfying — from milk stouts to barrel-aged imperial varieties.
Precision-brewed and refreshingly smooth — the backbone of any well-rounded beer collection.
Bright, refreshing, and delightfully unconventional — for those who appreciate beer on the lighter side.
Authentic brews from Belgium, Germany, and the Czech Republic — each one a passport to tradition.
