The Republic Brewing Company is one of the area’s favorite places to enjoy a first-class, freshly brewed beer or old-fashioned soft drink, while mingling and meeting other customers. There’s something about the atmosphere of this little brewery that invites introductions and pleasant conversations between people from every walk of life.
On any given day, you’ll meet up with a logger, a rancher, a volunteer fireman, a border patrol officer, a librarian, a school teacher, a retired engineer, fisherman, Web designer, or a gold mine geologist. The brewery doesn’t serve any food (except free peanuts), but they do provide plates, napkins, and cutlery, so you can order food delivered to you from Esther’s Mexican restaurant or Freckle Face Gourmet, or you can pick up burgers and pizza from restaurants like Steve-O’s and eat it at the Brewery. The folks at the brewery will even dispose of your used plates and napkins.

Republic Brewing Company's History
Our building is actually the town's historic fire hall located right on Main Street with two roll up bay doors, which in the summer we open to let the warm summer breeze in.
Did you know we are not the first Republic Brewing Company? The original brewery operated 3 miles east of the current location, providing beer to gold miners from the 1890s until it closed at the onset of prohibition. Beer was served to local saloons in wooden barrels and bottled at the Republic Bottling Works, a building that currently serves as the San Poil Grange Hall.
