Placerville Craft Beer

Placerville is home to three craft breweries and is on the El Dorado Ale Trail, so you can expect them to attend. You will also see reps from Tahoe breweries. If you want to be an entrant next year, you should really brush up on your skills by reading a book on how to brew beer.

Speaking of El Dorado, we are big fans of El Dorado hops.
