Santa Rosa’s most bike-friendly ale house and cafe at the foot of Northern California’s preeminent singletrack treasure, Annadel State Park. Whether you come on two wheels or two feet, the feeling’s the same: sit back, put up those tired dogs, and skip the coasters. Welcome to The Trail House.

Breweries

Their small stature is their advantage. Instead of a flagship beer, they offer a rotating selection of hoppy and Belgian-style ales, giving you a new beer to try each time you walk in the door. Beers are given quirky names that make you laugh when you order. Local art is featured on the walls and barrel-aged sours are their specialty!
