History

Established in 1983.

Since October of 1987 the most comfortable eating and drinking destination in all of midtown Sacramento is undoubtedly Rubicon Brewing Company. It isn’t elegant in a white-​tablecloth sort of way, but it is warm and welcoming, with the consistent hum of friendly conversation as a genial backdrop. If you’re looking to engage in some of that conversation, your best bet is a seat at the bar – the focal point of the establishment.

For 22 years, Rubicon Brewing has been offering some of the best beer in Northern California. The Rubicon enjoys the distinction of being the oldest operating brewery currently doing business in Sacramento.

Meet the Business Owner

Glynn P.

Business Owner

Glynn Phillips first became interested in brewing at the age of 15. He and some friends attempted brewing their own beer when their parents wouldn’t allow them to drink beer in the home. They began patronizing the local homebrew supply and soon patched together a small operation – although Glynn will be the first to tell you that their beer was never very good!

Glynn continued brewing experimentally into his college years, after which he took a corporate job in Reno. He began frequenting the Great Basin Brewing Company, where he eventually secured a part-​time job to be a bit closer to the brewing experience he’d come to love. In 1994, he quit his corporate job and went full time at Great Basin – taught himself the ins and outs of the business and the industry, and went on to become the general manager. From there, Glynn was recruited to be GM at Marin Brewing in Larkspur.
