Review of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

Sierra Nevada is attentive and aware of food allergies, however, beer is their focus and they use it in most items on their menu.

Request an allergy menu and have a conversation with your waiter about food preparation. The allergy menu needs explaining: items listed with in BLUE text “Gluten*” can be modified. Items in RED “Gluten” cannot be altered. Items with no “Gluten” listed next to it are GF safe. See attached photo but know menu changes regularly.

We come here annually and I have never had an issue. While options are limited, they are tasty. Plates are small. In the past, I’ve eaten their salads. Their duck fat fries, made in a GF fryer, are delicious!

This year we split the cheese plate and requested the gluten items be served on a separate plate so I could enjoy some of the cheeses. DON’T ASSUME ALL CHEESES ARE GF. One of the cheeses was rinsed in beer. Thankfully our awesome server, Carlyle, knew this and had it added to the bread plate. The beer nuts, that came with the cheese plate (no beer involved, despite the name) are really good and flavorful.

I ordered the Wood Roasted Seasonal Roots. Again, Carlyle knew these were baked in the same oven as their pizzas, although in their own separate dishes. I decided to risk it. She later returned to share the kitchen found a way to cook them elsewhere. They were cooked perfectly.

The restaurant, inside and out, is an experience. They offer live music and have a massive fire pit. Come and have fun!
