Ruth McGowan's Brewpub

Looking for the best beer and food in Sonoma County, and possibly the universe? Look no further! Ruth McGowan's Brewpub, in the heart of beautiful downtown Cloverdale, is waiting to knock your socks off! (Shoes and shirts required.) Mary Ann and Mike Brigham opened their Brewpub on March 17, 2002, naming it in honor of Mike's Grandma. Feisty, stout hearted Ruth still shoveled snow off her sidewalk and mowed her own lawn at age 96, back home in New London, Wisconsin. Mary Ann and Mike wanted to craft the finest beer imaginable for their family of friends - which they do, right before your eyes, in gleaming copper tanks. (Aren't you glad you don't have to polish them?) And they wanted to create a friendly and family-oriented neighborhood pub where everyone, including you fabulous unescorted ladies, would feel at home. Framed photographs of old Cloverdale line the walls of Ruth McGowan's Brewpub, along with the original sign from the gone-but-not-forgotten Preston covered bridge, warning that there will be a $5 FINE FOR ANYONE GOING FASTER THAN A WALK ACROSS THIS BRIDGE! So, slow down! Enjoy one of the many delicious and delightfully affordable items on our menu, along with daily specials. And don't forget to try our crowd-pleasing, red-headed Cloverdale Ale. Incidentally, Ruth McGowan's beers are now being distributed at many fine dining establishments (restaurants in other words) throughout the area.
