“ HEAVENLY! The beer gods put this brewery on the map. Every single beer that they make is absolutely DELICIOUS! From hop forward to juicy to sour to light and refreshing, they have it all! There's a beer or beverage for everyone! The staff is efficient and happy to help. The brewery is huge with indoor and outdoor seating. Dog and kid friendly. FOOD: They have chips and salsa that you can buy in the brewery and they have rotating food trucks that pull up to the back patio. You can also bring in outside food. TO-GO: They have a ton a of beers to-go. From growler fills to 4-pks, they have it all. Not all beers can be purchased to take home so just ask or look on their TV menus. PARKING: They have parking in the front and the back of the brewery. They get busy but I've never had a problem finding a spot. This is one of my absolute favorite breweries in Placer County! I always love coming back. ”
“ Whenever I visit my parents in Auburn, a trip to Moonraker Brewing is always on my list. If you're a fan of Hazy IPAs, this place is one of the best--they've truly perfected the style. Personally, I prefer lighter beers, and they have incredible options, like their Boho Pils, which was unmatched while it was available. The ambiance is fantastic--spacious, kid- and pet-friendly, with plenty of seating. I've even brought my laptop to work there and had no trouble finding a quiet spot near an outlet. One of my favorite memories of Moonraker is from my wedding day in 2018. I stopped by to ask if I could rent a keg. It's not something they typically do, but I happened to be talking to the owner. When I told him it was for my wedding later that day, he made an exception and let me rent two kegs. That kind of generosity and personal touch is rare and something I'll never forget. Genuine hospitality. If you're ever in the area, make sure to stop by Moonraker. Great beer, great vibes, and great people--you won't regret it! ”
“ We have always enjoyed Moonraker in Shingle Springs and attended a birthday party at this location and we were not disappointed! The service was fantastic, they had plenty of room inside and outside for get togethers, the food was great, and the beer was delicious. This is a great place to come to get a cold one, with friends for a round, or a larger party for a special occasion (call for a reservation)! ”
“ We were finally able to get to the brewery (while on our way camping). One of my softball teams has a couple guys from Auburn and they all bring beers from Moonraker and Knee Deep and we have debates of which one is better. Moonraker wins for my money so we've always wanted to come to this brewery and finally got the chance. Had some great tastes of beers and left with a couple four packs to take camping. I still say pound for pound California is the best state for beer and it's not just because of the bigwigs like Stones, Ballast and Drakes but because of the many outstanding breweries like this that you can find all over the state. We'll be back. ”
“ Moonraker offers a lot of space to enjoy a beer. There is a large outdoor area as well as several inside rooms and little nooks and crannies with tables. They have a large selection of beers and staff are always friendly. We usually go on weekends so we can get some food truck food. They also have several televisions to enjoy sports. There is some parking in back as well in the front but it can get crowded so you may have to park on the street. They are dog friendly and we always meet nice people and dogs when there. ”
“ Over the last several years I've been pleased with the consistency of quality of the beers, service, and atmosphere found here at Moonraker Brewing. Every time I return from a trip up highway I-80, I look forward to being able to stop here for refreshments. On Labor Day, l was with friends and happy to be able to introduce them to the great brews and the spacious patio here. I was also quite excited to see that they had a Czech dark lager brewed with real Saaz hops! Absolutely delicious, rich, malty, and refreshing! The only thing better would have been to have had my husky with me, too. ”
“ It had been a while since we been back at Moonraker . This beer and brewery is still one of my top 5 breweries. Their beers are definitely craft beer u can taste the quality and care in the making of these beers . Walking in to this establishment it was massive! They have a lot of areas available for private parties . If you are thinking of a private party this would be a great idea . Their outside patio has so much space too . They have Food Trucks and live music on certain dates . It's so big they even have a private party area outside too . Service - We had the pleasure to meet Vincenzo he was so friendly and attentive. He guided us through our beer flights. He is very knowledgeable and fun . He even gave us tips on where to go for dinner near the area . He is amazing definitely above and beyond on his service . For our beers- They had so much to choose from they offer Hazy, Stout , Sour, West Coast ,Lagers and light beers , mixed Fermentations, and Hard Seltzers . Honestly everything sounded so good we had to get flights . We even tried the Foam Walker and let me tell you it was like an Espresso Martini of beers . Everything we tried was 10/10 and we had so much fun doing it . Overall this place has a great ambiance with the patio lights and the great staff that make you feel welcome . They are kid and dog friendly. They do not sell food but they have food trucks and chips and salsa for purchase. You can see the food trucks rotation on their website and their beers on tap. We can't wait to be back for some more fun and good beers . ”
“ We came here Friday around 8pm. They close at 9pm but they still let people order more beers. Some even still had a full flight of beers when we left at 9. But I guess they don't kick people out. They had a good variety of beers. We liked the sours, hazies, seltzers, and dark beers. They have an amazing outdoor space! I heard it was created during Covid. Great place for family and dogs. ”
“ Recently visited for a birthday, and we're in their private room. Love how cozy this location is. Big space for a good amount of people to mingle, but still plenty of room to walk around. Their private room had its own bathroom, and not too far from the bar to retrieve your drinks. Our party had plenty of food options, but they do have daily food trucks available. We definitely enjoyed our time at this location. ”
