Jackrabbit Brewing Company

Love this place! Love the owners and their great beer! I really enjoyed the Saison and the Tripel which I haven’t seen on their menu for a long time…
Friendly atmosphere and customer service.

I absolutely love this place! The beer is really great! I love the monks belly and the grey beard a lot but their other beers are fabulous too. Definitely check it out if you’re looking for good quality beer. My favorite sac brewery.

I hopped in here on a whim and was pleasantly surprised!
If you are looking for a really good tasting beer that also so happens to be really smooth then get your little cotton tail down to Jackrabbit.
Bar looks great but rest of the brewery looks average.
I recommend giving this lesser known Sacramento brewery a shot!

Great selection of unique beers. We liked the sour plumb quad, bigwig brown and graybeard. Nice spot to hangout. Staff seems a bit friendlier than Yolo brewing down the street
Everyone goes to Yolo. It is packs today while Jackrabbit has plenty of room. Cuban food truck here as well. Try this place if you like beer.

Good beer, chill atmosphere, a small area with games and toys for kids. Great place to grab a pint with the friends.

NOW OPEN THURSDAYS! Attentive and knowledgeable staff (Brian and John) serving up great beer. **Kid friendly**

The best (and the only, let’s be fair) kid-​friendly brewery in Sacramento. And boy is it kid-​friendly. You can bring your mini-me’s and let them play on picnic tables near the back with a play-​room sized selection of toys and games. They’re in heaven for hours.
But the beer is really what we come for, right? The Order of the Rabbit is the best. It’s one of the only beers I drink by the glass. (I’m a sampler size flight drinker by nature) The employees know their craft, are good with the kids, and will happily answers all your naïve, dumb questions about beer and not make you feel stupid. No matter how packed this place gets, you’ll still get attentive, prompt service. You’ll love the food trucks that park outside on the weekends. Plus, this location is biking or walking distance to the other two west sac breweries.
Pro-​tip: This brewery has the indoor and outdoor space and ambiance to be a great group meet up place. While they’re open on Thursday evenings now, there’s no food truck on that night.

Awesome taproom in West Sacramento!
I stopped in to meet some colleagues for a beer after work yesterday. As I glanced at their offerings, I realized a Belgian influence to their beers. I LOVE Belgium styles, so I knew I would have my work cut out for me in deciding which one to go with.
Fortunately, the friendly staff behind the bar offered small sips from the four I narrowed it down to. I tried the Golden Strong, Saison, Order of the Rabbit, and the Vineyard Dubbel. All were delicious!
I went with the Golden Strong, and the others in our group went with the Vineyard. Really interesting and tasty!
I also liked that the taproom has a hip feel to it,.they had some board games at tables in the back, and you can bring your dog on a leash, which I thought was cool.
I can’t wait to go back and try their other offerings soon!

This place has the best beer. I tried a sample of a few and each one I didn’t want to put down. I couldn’t tell you which one was my favorite because they were all good. If I had to choose the Imperial and Saison would be up there, but they were all good. Great place to hang out with good people and good beer.

I had a flight of different beer it was all enjoyable especially the IPA. Delish unfortunately there was no food truck :(disappointed

We came here on the fourth of July after having lunch and drinks at Yolo Brewing down the street. The décor in Jackrabbit was cute and hip looking. There was plenty of seating to choose from — regular tables or picnic benches. There were a good amount of different brews to choose from. I tried a pint of Oatmeal Stout and my friend had the Fair Hare. The Oatmeal Stout was cold and DELICIOUS that I had another one even though I had planned to try the other ones. I didn’t notice they offered a sampler until after I was settled down with my drink. That is a great idea if you are indecisive or want to try everything! There were a ton of card games and board games in the corner of the brewery, which I thought was a great idea. They are family friendly in addition to being dog friendly! The atmosphere was very casual and relaxed. It was also really nice and cool inside for such a hot summer day. I only wish they served some kind of fun bar food or had a food truck.

Great interior, lots of room and plenty of seating. Beer is delicious with multiple styles to choose from. Staff was friendly knowledgeable, looking forward to coming back!

I don’t normally like craft beer, but their stuff is legit. I also enjoy the many rabbit paintings on the walls. Being born in the Chinese year of the rabbit myself i feel a certain connection to this place in a mystical sense.

Jackrabbit is the newest addition of breweries in West Sacramento to date. They follow the same winning format of any other brewery. 1. It’s in a warehouse setting, 2. family-​friendly, 3. They have games available, 4. A food truck comes out to serve food. What else? Indoor and outdoor seating.

I’m glad we have another brewery in the mix here in West Sacramento, welcome, Jackrabbit! Also, apologies for all of the comparisons but it’s hard not to stack these guys up against their happy hoppy neighbors!
I’m no stranger to their beers, I’ve had them around town and it’s clear that distribution is really important to them. It’s all done in the same building and as you wander around you’ll see bags of hops and kegs ready to go.
I noticed a temperature difference right away. I much prefer a really cold beer, and I know I’ve had their beer at The Eatery (RIP) and Broderick and Cap Dime, and it’s been much, much colder there. I ordered a flight and they were all pretty much the same warm-​ish temperature. I remember Yolo had a similar issue when they first opened so maybe it’s just an opening hiccup. Or maybe I should drink faster!
It’s a lot cooler in here then it is at Yolo, both temperature and vibe wise. They keep the lights low and fans are blowing away, thank goodness because these places tend to get so crowded and hot. The staff is great, they might take a bit to warm up to you but they are all really nice guys.
Our co-​drinkers also really enjoyed Jackrabbit and their brews. The Pub Ale is still my favorite, it’s the best dark (er) beer in the area besides Bike Dog’s Milk Stout in my opinion.
Very happy that they’ve opened up their tap room and I’ll be back for sure.

The beer styles are super compelling, but each one I tried was a bit lacking in flavor.
I overheard that all three guys working on Friday were all owners and I found it disappointing that none of them were very interested in interacting with the people at the bar and only really cleaned, talked amongst themselves, and avoided eye contact in between watching for empty glasses.
The underside of the bar is unfinished, splintery, and rough, so be careful on your bare legs.
I’m not really in a hurry to return.

I am impressed with the new (ish) Jackrabbit Brewing Company in West Sacramento. They have been brewing for a while with distribution to local bars and restaurants, but they recently opened a taproom off Terminal near the Port of West Sacramento. The facility is a pretty standard configuration for the modern brewery taproom concept, but they have a lot of special details that make it very nice.
Staff are abundant and friendly. The décor is modern with lots of wood, metal, and Edison bulbs with an actual TV to watch sports! There are several big tables for large groups and a long bar to enjoy a sampler or glass of their fresh brew. They serve Half Pints too which is always a welcome sight.
Their beer is great. They have a focus on English and Belgian-​style brews that are all over the board in style. It makes for a rather eclectic offering beyond the ubiquitous IPA/​DIPA/​TIPA menu, but yes Virginia they do have an IPA! I really enjoyed the Pub Ale which is an excellent English ale with low hops and a smooth finish. Anyone who enjoys Belgians will love the selection of Rabbit-​named offerings.
West Sacramento has three newer breweries along Terminal which makes for an interesting industrial pub crawl. Jackrabbit offers a refreshing change of pace for the area.

Grand Opening– ⁴⁄₄ 12pm-​9pm
A new brewery is in town and their lineup appears promising; give jackrabbit a try but be responsible, %ABV can be pretty high. If you need to get back on your feet and want some delicious hamburgers, chili, and onion rings check out River City Grill (
) which is just down the street.
Also, i believe a comprehensive review at this time is premature and I stand by consistency. Ill revisit this place and give an update maybe in the next two to three months. However, to even post a review i’m required to give it a rating and ill give it ⁵⁄₅ as my personal default rating.
**********************************
Recap:
Overall rating 5/​5, smooth and flavorful beer lineup. Some of the beers are too sweet, but flavor is subjective.
Payment: **CASH ONLY** when visiting the tap room. (credit card transactions will be incorporated in the next week or two)
Food: No food, but i believe there a few food trucks at its grand opening and most likely today (April 4, 2015).
Parking: Limited or just park down the street
Décor: Industrial, but then again i’m here for the beer not the scenic views
**********************************

I’ve tried now TWO ABSOLUTELY SOLID PINTS
the Saison (Season in French) and the Stout. both so deep in flavor, and excellent in their unique character profiles
The former a Belgian wit with a very wonderful, aromatic flower taste on the end sip. The Stout is solid as well. Why only 3 reviews? Wakey Wakey Sacramentans!
