It’s craft beer week in Roseville!

In recognition of the city’s breweries, the Roseville City Council adopted a proclamation making it Craft Beer Week to “celebrate the success of our growing craft brewery scene.”

So in case you’re looking for a craft brew — I mean, who isn’t? It’s too hot already — here’s where you can find beer in and around Roseville through the weekend.

The Monk’s Cellar: Roseville’s most popular brewery is located in its revitalized downtown building on Vernon Street. The Monk’s Cellar has its own in-house brewery that has produced award-winning beers. In the 2022 California Commercial Craft Beer Competition, Monk’s Cellar won four medals and place third from brewery of the year. (240 Vernon St.)

Moksa Brewing Co.: A short drive down Pacific Street across the Rocklin line, you’ll find Moksa. Named after a Hindu term for emancipation, Moksa produces 24 beers in-house such as its Rocklin Lager, Tropic of Placer and Pacific Street IPA. (5860 Pacific St.)
