Who says beer and plants don’t mix? At Boring Rose Brewing Co., they’re practically best friends. This family-run brewery in El Dorado Hills has turned its taproom into a greenhouse paradise, where craft beer flows as freely as the tropical vibes.
A Family Affair With a Green Twist
Boring Rose Brewing Co. isn’t just a brewery; it’s a family-run passion project that spans two generations. The magic begins on their Sierra Foothills farm in Latrobe, California, where they brew beer in a greenhouse. Yes, you read that right—a greenhouse! The carbon dioxide from the brewing process feeds their tropical plants, which in turn helps reduce the brewery’s carbon footprint. It’s like eco-friendly beer alchemy, and frankly, it’s genius.
The beers are a love letter to their farm’s wildlife and natural beauty. Each brew is named after something special from their land—think local critters, plants, or magical spots you’d only find if you wandered off the beaten path. But don’t let all this wholesome farming talk fool you; these folks know how to party.
A Taproom That Feels Like a Jungle (In a Good Way)
Step inside their taproom in El Dorado Hills, and you’ll feel like you’ve entered a botanical paradise. The space is part brewery, part plant shop, and entirely Instagram-worthy. Tropical greenery hangs from every corner while patrons sip on handcrafted beers and seltzers. If indoor jungles aren’t your thing (we won’t judge), head out to their spacious patio overlooking the waterfront. It’s the perfect spot to kick back with a cold one and soak up some California sunshine.
Beer (and More!) for Every Taste
Let’s talk beer because that’s why you’re here—or at least part of the reason. Boring Rose offers a rotating lineup of year-round favorites and seasonal brews that range from classic styles to experimental concoctions. Whether you’re into crisp lagers or bold IPAs, there’s something for everyone. And if beer isn’t your jam? No worries—they’ve got local hard ciders, wine, nitro cold brew coffee, flavored sparkling waters, iced tea, and sodas on deck.
Feeling peckish? Their food menu is small but mighty. Think charcuterie boards for the fancy crowd, bacon mac ‘n cheese for comfort food lovers, and hot pretzels that pair perfectly with your pint.
Weekly Shenanigans
Boring Rose Brewing Co. isn’t just about great beer; it’s also about good times. They host weekly events that turn an ordinary weeknight into something worth looking forward to. Tuesday Trivia will test your brainpower (and maybe your patience with your know-it-all friend). Wednesday Bingo adds a touch of old-school fun to hump day. And Saturday Live Music? That’s when the place comes alive.
Oh, and let’s not forget Happy Hour—Monday through Friday from 3–5 PM—because who doesn’t love discounted drinks?
