Hillenbrand<br />
Farmhaus Brewery<br />
5100 Virginiatown Road, Newcastle, 818-714-0078,<br />
hillenbrandbrewery.com<br />
This barn-turned-brewery offers a pastoral view to enjoy with<br />
your pint. Seating for the lofty, wood-filled space overflows<br />
outside, where you can sit by the pond or sprawl out at picnic<br />
tables. Naturally, it’s a picturesque wedding venue and also<br />
hosts offbeat events worth driving out of town for, like sushi<br />
and beer pairings and comedy nights. A small but mighty<br />
menu checks all the boxes: a fruity IPA (we recommend trying<br />
it with the Dole Whip for a refreshing summer sipper), spicy<br />
and citrusy saison, passionfruit sour, dessert-inspired stout,<br />
and classic blonde ale.<br />

6 Labels We Love<br />
Mraz Brewing Company<br />
2222 Francisco Drive, Suite 510, <strong>El</strong> <strong>Dorado</strong> <strong>Hills</strong>, 916-<br />
934-0744, mrazbrewingcompany.com<br />
If Mraz has a signature style, it would best be<br />
described as “fun.” Just like its sudsy content,<br />
the artwork on every can is vastly different,<br />
ranging from sassy puns to gothic vibes and<br />
nostalgic cartoons to revived memes.<br />
Chateau Davell Boutique<br />
Winery<br />
3020 Vista Tierra Drive, Camino, 530-644-2016,<br />
chateaudavell.com<br />
Chateau Davell’s first wine was named Charlotte,<br />
a tribute to co-owners Emily and Eric Hays’<br />
daughter. To go along with the name, Eric<br />
painted her portrait. The pair loved<br />
the idea of each wine being named<br />
for someone close to them so much<br />
that they continued with the theme.<br />
Lone Buffalo Vineyards<br />
7505 Wise Road, Auburn 530-823-1159, lonebuffalovineyards.com<br />
As a nod to Native American culture, each label at Lone Buffalo includes a<br />
unique symbol—just like the Natives used in their own artwork to express<br />
ideas and emotions—from a thunderbird (messenger of the Gods) on their<br />
2015 Thunder Beast Zinfandel to buffalo horns (success) on their 2015<br />
Tatonka Tempranillo.<br />

Craft Brewery<br />
8251 Alpine Avenue,<br />

9355; 5540 Douglas Boulevard, Suite 140-150, Granite Bay.<br />
916-451-9355, newglorybeer.com<br />
Erica Lux, the wife of brewery owner Julien Lux, is the<br />
designer behind most of New Glory’s lovely labels that are<br />
oftentimes abstract and sometimes straightforward but<br />
always colorful, eye-popping, and fun.<br />
Popie Wines<br />
3550 Taylor Road, Loomis, 916-768-7643,<br />
popiewines.com<br />
Auburn-based artist Jan Kapple Klein<br />
is the talent behind Popie’s family-focused label,<br />
which is inspired by the winemaker’s father, Richard<br />
“Popie” Duarte, who farmed and grew grapes in<br />
Napa Valley.<br />
Loomis Basin Brewing<br />
Company<br />
3277 Swetzer Road, Loomis, 916-259-<br />
2739, loomisbasinbrewing.com<br />
The majority of Loomis Basin’s<br />
labels, especially their flagship beers<br />
like Vindicator IPA, are based off of<br />
vintage fruit packaging labels from<br />
around the area.<br />
