Mad River Brewery

Paskenta Mad River Brewing is a tribally-owned craft brewery and tap room at 101 Taylor Way in Blue Lake, established in 1989 and owned by the Paskenta Band of Nomlaki Indians. Known for award-winning ales like Steelhead Extra Pale Ale and Jamaica Red Ale, it operates a laid-back, pet-friendly tap room and outdoor beer garden directly next to the brewery. The tap room pours flagship and small-batch seasonal drafts alongside food from El Chipotle Cerveceria, with daily hours (closed Tuesdays), happy hour and occasional live music.
