What’s better than fresh brewed beer? How about a handful of local breweries within just a few blocks of each other, serving a wide range of fresh beers with a side of beaches, bluffs, cool ocean air and mountains of towering redwoods.
That’s the Fort Bragg Beer Experience, with three amazing breweries right downtown, all within easy walking distance.
Check out the house favorites at each of the breweries below, then make your way to the North Coast to drink Bragg brew.
As the name suggests, Overtime started as a passion project from a handful of admitted beer nerds who started brewing after work at their day jobs. Since then, OT has become a favorite local hang-out for a rotating range of beers brewed in-house, a truly original menu of delicious pub dishes, and a neighborly nightly vibe featuring live music, trivia and the occasional cornhole tournament.

North Coast was doing small, local craft brews before small local craft brews got so big. Today, legendary beers like Red Seal Ale and Scrimshaw Pilsener are distributed around the world, while the brewpub in Fort Bragg features fine food and unique seasonals, reserves and barrel-aged beers. Fiercely independent since 1988, North Coast is a leader in local philanthropy and global sustainability.
