Our Story

Rooted in Placerville,
Crafted with Conviction

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.
