Bike Dog Brewing Adding East Sacramento Taproom

West Sacramento-based Bike Dog Brewing Company is expanding into East Sacramento and will be occupying a space fans of the local craft beer scene might be familiar with.

Bike Dog Brewing currently operates a brewery and taproom on Industrial Boulevard in West Sacramento, which has been around for a little over a decade. The business expanded to Land Park in 2017 with a taproom at 915 Broadway, where it shares a building with Michelin-starred The Kitchen and Selland’s Market Cafe.

Earlier this week, the local brewery notified its customers in a newsletter that it was expanding into East Sacramento, with a location to be announced later in the week. Co-owner Sage Smith told the Business Journal on Thursday that Bike Dog Brewing is planning to fill an approximately 7,000-square-foot space at 1210 66th St., near the California State University Sacramento campus. The location, which was most recently occupied by Lodi-based High Water Brewing, will serve as a taproom for Bike Dog.

Smith said the space checked several boxes of an ideal location for the business, which had been looking to expand for a little over a year. The site’s outdoor space is large enough to allow guests to bring their dogs, while the indoor space has enough room to host large gatherings and is flexible for any future projects. The space does not currently have a kitchen. Smith said the plan is to initially start out by bringing in food trucks before eventually building out a permanent kitchen in the space.
