Chico and Redding California

**Brandon O** · 06-10-2009, 08:09 PM

I will be visiting this area for the sierra nevada tour, chico that is. I will be staying in redding.

Anyone have reccomendations for good beer places in either of these cities?

Besides the brewery? University Bar in Chico. Wide selection of SN pilot beers* for CHEAP, it's underground, and the AC will blast a chill into you.

*I especially like the Best Bitter.

So you'll be in Redding?

You're an hour drive north of Chico, just factor that into your drinking adventures.

You'll find a lot of the pilot beers in a lot of the Chico bars and I'm only giving you two that I think you should hit.

Chico Bars:

Madison Bear Garden - Order a Jiffy Burger
The Graduate Bar - I lived across the street of it for 3 years, it has tons of different beers with lots of SN. Also a great place to watch a sports game

Breweries:

Butte Creek Brewing
Sierra Nevada (of course)

Other watering holes

Riley's,
La Salle's,
Duffy's,
Joe's bar
