Opened in 2013 by Dave Shaver, Gold Camp Brewery doesn’t conform to the traditional list of beers offered by other breweries. However, Dave and his gang of brewers are serving up some interesting and tasty beers. With an almost coffee shop atmosphere Gold Camp Brewery is defiantly one of the most laid back breweries we have visited.
The brewery itself is plastered with exposed wood (I’m not making a penis reference here). There are some interesting accent pieces such as a world money collage and a beer bottle wall that help bring together the coffee shop atmosphere. The atmosphere and occasional train passing makes me want to come back on a rainy day with a book or an excellent place to unwind after a day of work and take your time to enjoy a beer.
Speaking of beers, we said these guys and girls are serving up some interesting ones. Never having tried an english mild Zack and I were both pleasantly surprised by it and the all of the following beers we tasted. With several IPA’s we would recommend Gold Camp Brewery to anyone who enjoys a bitter beer and a quiet place to consume it. Here are the rest of our thoughts on the beers we tried while at Gold Camp.
