Brewery Profile

Jack Russell Farm Brewery

A visit here is less like stepping into a downtown bar and more like arriving at a farm property that happens to be part of Camino’s beer landscape. The tasting room is paired with a large outdoor beer garden patio, so the first impression is shaped as much by the grounds as by the taps. Jack Russell Farm Brewery has a long local history: Terry Bonham established it in 1996, and its early identity centered on traditional English-style ales. Since the Coody family purchased the operation in 2010, the brewing program has included more West Coast influence while keeping classic styles in the lineup. That continuity helps explain its recognition as one of the oldest continually operating breweries in the greater Sacramento region.

Travelers coming through this part of California often look for stops that feel connected to the surrounding rural foothill setting rather than a purely urban taproom experience. This brewery fits that pattern by offering beer in a farm-based environment with outdoor seating and picnic grounds overlooking the property. The range is not limited to beer, either: the facility serves year-round and seasonal beers alongside cider, mead, and wine. For visitors with mixed tastes in a group, that broader beverage list can make the stop easier to work into an afternoon. The historical thread also gives the place a point of difference, since its current offerings reflect both its original English-style foundation and the later West Coast direction added after the 2010 change in ownership.

For practical planning, expect the tasting room to be the place to confirm the day’s pours, including which seasonal beers, cider, mead, or wine are available. Outdoor seating is a central part of the visit, with the beer garden patio and picnic areas providing room to spread out when weather allows. The site accommodates pets, which is useful for travelers moving through Camino with a dog, though visitors should still check current rules before arriving. Because the experience is tied closely to the farm setting, it is worth allowing enough time to sit outside rather than treating the stop as only a quick tasting-room visit. The known amenities are straightforward: a tasting room, expansive outdoor patio, picnic grounds with farm views, pet-friendly access, and a beverage program that extends beyond beer.
