My two visits to the Anderson Valley Brewing Company have both been at the end of overly long days of cycle touring, causing me to have possibly overdone on the amount of beer that I absorbed. In spite of some slight spifilation, I highly recommend the Boont Amber and the Poleeko Gold; both great, as is the Oatmeal Stout. The different types of beers each have the distinctive taste that each type of beer is supposed have, and they're all classy tasting. Unfortunately the food is not up to the level of the brew, and they don't give free tastes; both definite drawbacks. The Anderson Valley is one of the loveliest places in the country, and the Buckhorn Saloon is a most pleasant place; a must for any serious beer lover.

Drove up from Bay Area during my trip to various brewpubs. When I arrived was shocked to see brewpub is totally closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays - other days also have crazy hours. The brewpub manager was in the brewpub with a few other people. I told him I was from Florida and was interested in sampling a few beers. He said I would have to come back Thursday when they were open. Ken Allen owner/brewer of AVBC needs to improve the way customers are treated. This particular place is getting to be like Rogue- sell everything you can imagine and dosen't have the small brewpub feel anymore. In the middle of nowhere so find out there hours before you go because they certainly won't care. If in this area be sure to visit North Coast- about a three hour drive from here, but well worth it.

Worth the trek into the boon-docks of Northern California, for the wonderful scenery, and (most importantly!) the beer!...//TSB

Wish I could say more! I live in the Philadelphia area and I have only had Anderson Valley beers when in Philly. I can only say that for a person who really loves a great micro brewed beer, their Stout and IPA are outstanding. Had the stout on tap and the IPA in a bottle. Might just be the best IPA I have ever had, at least in a bottle.

I agree with everything below and so am going to add a coupla "touristy" notes and a beer tip. First, the tip. If you like AVBC's IPA, try some Three Floyd's Alpha King Ale sometime, from, of all places, Hammond IN. It is excellent. As far as Boonville being in the middle of nowhere, it is a beautiful nowhere. The Anderson Valley also has many excellent wineries to visit, such as Hahn, Brutacao and Roederer (champagne). The hotel across the street from AVBC is really nice, and has great food. Also, the town of Elk is just over the hill on the coast and is a great place to stay--several nice B&B's. Very quiet--only one or two little places to eat. Mendocino is just a half hour drive up the coast from Elk.

One of the finest brewing establishments in America. The only problem is that Boonville is not just in the middle of nowhere, it is nowhere!!! There is a nice hotel across the street to crash at should you attempt to try all their great beers.

We would ride to Booneville anytime for a taste of the Boont Amber and the Oatmeal Stout. The food was wonderful and the Service was fantastic. Stop in and say Hi to Buddy and Holly. The Pub is "Biker Friendly". We had a wonderful time. Thank you and we will be back!

Just over the hill from Mendocino Brewing in Hopland, CA...in the heart of wine country (formerly hop country). A beautiful drive from anywhere in the Bay Area and always worth the trip. Consistently the best IPA I've run across in a microbrewery...like sniffin' on a fresh hop bud. Take a drive to Boonville, you won't be disappointed.

Of the many IPA's I have had (and I mean many) AVBC is by far the best. I also am extremely fond of their ESB. I enjoyed the lunch we had at their location and look forward to visiting again.

The best beers in America. I take a trip to Booneville at least once a year just to get it brewery-fresh. The food is fine pub grub.

The beer is outstanding! In my opinion the IPA is the best available. The staff was not that knowledgeable about the brew. I do not recommend the sampler option, it could lead to you drinking excessively. Free samples are not available.
The Buckhorm Pub does not have consistent hours during the off season.
If I was told that I had six months to live, I would move to Boonville and live at the Buckhorn Pub.

I haven't been to the pub, although I really want to. I hear that it is really nice with some beer cuisine and a dinning room that overlooks the brewery. The AVBC beers are some of the best microbrews I have ever had. The oatmeal stout is incredible and the amber, winter solstice and ESB are all fantastic. I look forward to trying the rest, especially the GAFB medal winning porter. Very highly reccomended.
