Mattie Groves Brewery
Opened in early 2024 in a historic 1930s brick building in the Midtown Handle District, Mattie Groves Brewery has quickly established itself as something genuinely different on the Sacramento craft beer scene. The name draws from a traditional British folk ballad, and that folklore-rooted identity carries through everything — the branding, the interior, and the deliberate “third space” philosophy behind the taproom itself. Soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, original terracotta tile floors, and hand-built trestle tables crafted from a single cedar tree make it one of the more striking spaces in Midtown.

Beer

The rotating tap list spans pilsners, pale ales, hazy and double IPAs, stouts, porters, and farmhouse ales, each with a distinct identity. Standouts include the High Tider Oyster Stout — brewed with fresh Pacific Northwest oysters for a silky, slightly briny finish — and a selection of English bitters and milds that are a genuine rarity in the region. Each pour reflects a strong craft identity and a brewery that clearly thinks beyond the obvious.

Food

Rather than standard pub fare, Mattie Groves offers a curated tinned fish menu — smoked salmon, oysters, sardines, mussels, and other globally sourced selections served with kettle chips and house accompaniments. It’s a natural pairing with the beer program and a conversation starter in its own right. Outside food is also welcome, making it easy to bring something in from nearby neighbors like Crepeville or Jack’s Urban Eats.

Events

The weekly calendar reflects the taproom’s community-first approach. Monday is dedicated to Magic: The Gathering (Commander format), Tuesday brings pub quiz at 6:30 PM, and Wednesday hosts an open mic for music, poetry, and comedy starting at 7 PM. Board games and card games are always available for walk-ins. Family and dog-friendly throughout.

At Ease Brewing Company

At Ease Brewing Company
R & R starts here. Nestled among the tree-lined streets of Sacramento’s Boulevard Park neighborhood, At Ease Brewing Company is the vision of Mike Conrad — retired U.S. Army Colonel, UC Davis Master Brewer, and lifelong Sacramentan. What began as an award-winning home brewing hobby became one of Midtown’s most beloved taprooms when Mike opened the doors in May 2019. Every beer on tap is brewed on-site, in the gleaming stainless-steel equipment you can see right from your seat.

The Vibe

The military influence runs throughout — from the beer names to the “Sortie Draft Card” flight paddles — but the atmosphere is anything but exclusive. This is a family-friendly, dog-friendly, genuinely welcoming space. Settle in at the indoor taproom with its ample seating and air conditioning, or head out to the covered patio with shade canopies, ambient lighting, and misting fans for warmer days. Board games, bike racks, and a rotating cast of food trucks round out the experience.

The Beer

With 12 rotating taps, Mike keeps the lineup fresh and approachable without sacrificing craft. Expect a well-rounded range — crisp lagers, classic IPAs, English-style bitters, and fruited sours among them. Standouts like the DD-214 IPA and the Rucksack Lager have earned a loyal following, while the sour program keeps things interesting with inventive seasonal purées. Check their socials for what’s currently pouring.

Events

At Ease punches well above its size when it comes to community programming. The weekly calendar runs deep — run clubs, trivia nights, DJ bingo, music trivia, and gaming nights all find a home here throughout the week. It’s the kind of place that draws regulars for the events as much as the beer. Follow them on Facebook for the current schedule.

Food

No kitchen on-site, but rotating food trucks keep things interesting — and free pretzels are always on hand to hold you over. Follow @ateasebrewingco for the current food truck lineup.
