Founded in 1987, the Napa Valley Brewing Company was the first commercial brewery opened in the county since the end of Prohibition in the 1930s. The company produces around 400 barrels of beer a year and offers five main varieties: Calistoga Red Ale, West Coast IPA, Blue Collar Porter, American Wheat Ale, and Palisades Pilsner. Brewery tours with the brewmaster are available Monday through Friday. You can also sip a cold beer while enjoying weekly open mic nights and dancing.

Founded in Berkley, Fieldwork Brewing is a craft brewery that has since expanded to multiple locations across the Golden State from Monterey to Sacramento to Napa. Nestled within the Oxford Public Market, the Napa outpost features an industrial setting and a wide selection of beers. Current selections include farmhouse ales, IPAs, and German Pilsners. Its ever-changing tap list of new releases can be tried by sampler flight, by the glass, or in go-to growlers and Crowler cans.

Located in Napa and helmed by longtime friends Winemaker/Brewmaster Elaine St. Clair and President Laina Brown, St. Clair Brown Winery & Brewery is an urban winery and nano-brewery.
