About Shady Oak Brewing Company
Shady Oak Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom in Santa Rosa, in a corner between downtown and the SOFA Arts District. Its website says it began in 2013 as a one-person distribution network, with every beer sold in bottles. Some of its barrel aged beers use wine grape varietals from Sonoma County.
The taps change often. The website mentions West Coast IPAs, crispy lagers, hazies and hard seltzers. The seltzers come in a series called SIPSTER.
The room suits a mixed crowd. Dogs are welcome on a leash, and the website says the taproom is 100% family friendly. Kids get an arcade and a giant Connect Four, and people under 21 need to be supervised.
There is no kitchen. Food trucks and pop-ups from around Sonoma County rotate through, and food is available most days. The taproom and beer garden can also be rented for private events.
