Being one of the best breweries in Sacramento is no accident. Brewing craft beer is our passion, built on over 30 years of combined brewing experience.

We value elegance over gimmicks and believe that great beer is achieved by skillful design, talented execution and an uncompromising commitment to use only the best ingredients available.

We believe that a local brewery should be more than just your local brewpub. To us, local is a commitment to local partnerships and some of our partners include: Admiral Maltings, UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program, California Beer Farms and more.

Our selection of IPA’s, Pilsners, Stouts, Seasonal Ales, Lagers & other classic beer styles are consistently rated some of the best beer in Sacramento, namely our flagship Castillo IPA, which took the honor of a Gold Medal at the 2018 Great American Beer Festival. The GABF is the most respected commercial beer competition in the country and we were proud to bring home a GABF Gold medal  to Sacramento and become the youngest brewery to ever win Gold at the GABF. We pride ourselves on #BeerFlavoredBeer and strive to honor the brewing principles.

Alaro Craft Brewery & Restaurant has curated one of the most unique & critically acclaimed menus found at a brewpub. A Spanish-inspired menu that is flexible yet sophisticated enough to intrigue even the most discerning food critic. Our food is vibrant, delicious and varied, everything from seasonal small plates meant to be shared to creative Signature Dishes such as our Pulpo Gallego, a Slow Poached Wild Spanish Octopus, and Gambas al Ajillo, Succulent Head-On Prawns in a bright sauce of Garlic, Smoked Paprika and Lemon or our Hogs & Rocks, a dish of Tender Braised Pork Cheeks, Sweet Manila Clams & Crispy Potatoes over a Rich & Savory Paprika Sauce. Classic pub fare is not ignored either with a sublime Pub Burger made from locally raised Grass fed Beef, Wild Rock Cod Tacos or our Reuben Sandwich made with House Braised Corned Beef, Manchego Cheese & Sauerkraut. Soul Satisfying Veggie Tacos, Fried Pickles with Caper Aioli, Seasonal Salads and even Organic Soft Serve Ice Cream!

We all have the freedom to drink without borders, to enjoy a wide range of styles, regions, and grapes. From a sophisticated Rosé of Pinot Noir from Mendocino California to deliciously big, rich and multi-layered old vine red from Southeast Spain, we are proud to highlight many fine Spanish wines, as well as selections from France, Germany, Uruguay and California.
With native Spanish varietals such as Tempranillo, Garnacha Tinta, Monastrell, Albariño & Verdejo, the uniqueness and authenticity of these wines stem from their strong regional ties to the native grape varieties used to make them—which are as diverse as Spain’s wine regions.⁠
Even our house made Sangria demands a great wine. Using a Garnacha from Calatayud, Spain, we gain intense aromas of ripe, red fruits and some spicy, balsamic sensations to lend complexity to our Sangria that is full of fruit and liveliness.
