A happy, hoppy place to be!
Craft Breweries of the Eastern Sierra
The scenic lakeside mountain village of June Lake, known fondly as the ‘Switzerland of California’, is a destination of spectacular glacial lakes, high jagged mountain peaks, and a perfect blend of solitude and scenery. A hidden jewel in the Eastern Sierras, June Lake promises outdoor enthusiasts the adventure of a lifetime! But where to after a long day of exploring our exhilarating great outdoors? Thanks to an abundant snowfall, June Lake has access to the freshest mountain water, the main ingredient for a tasty craft beer, and a treasure to our local breweries! The perfect spot to kick back with great company, share stories and sample the finest handcrafted local creations is at one of our local breweries.
Head to the Treasured Tap Rooms
A great selection of light to dark beer is served to perfection at June Lake Brewing! New brews are consistently on draft along with their flagship beers like Deer Beer Brown Ale and Little Walker IPA. The food truck, Ohanas 395, operates Thursday to Sunday and offers up tasty vegan/Hawaiian food. This truly is the hub of the June Lake Village during warm summer days or after a snowy day on the hill.
A scenic 20-minute drive along Highway 395 and you arrive at Mammoth Brewing Company in the majestic Mammoth Lakes, the highest brewery in California perfecting the art of award-winning beers since 1995. Sample their finest in the tasting room, grab a souvenir from the store or unwind in the beer garden with live music throughout the summer. Bleu's kitchen serves up amazing food to accompany your beer. The local favorite in Mammoth Lakes is Distant Brewing on Old Mammoth Road. Distant Brewing offers the refreshing new styles of beer that most southern Californian beer lovers have grown to love. There is also a great selection of food and non-alcoholic options to choose from as well. Heading to the Village at Mammoth? Stop by Shelter Distilling to grab one of their unique craft beers. Shelter Distilling offers something for everyone in your group.
