University of Beer, Sacramento

University of Beer is not an accredited institution of higher learning, but its curriculum does include 100 draft beers on tap. The rotating selection features beers sourced locally and abroad, and on occasion, venerated brewers the likes of Deschutes, Russian River Brewery, and Stone Brewing Co. stop by to share their latest creations. Other special events include Puppy Hours on weekend afternoons, which reward you with discounted drinks for bringing your dog to the bar. The University is also home to a covered patio for diners looking to have al fresco fun.
