BIKE DOG BREWING CO’S WEST SAC WHEAT
ABV: 5.5% IBU: 24
Bike Dog is a 15-barrel brewhouse in West Sacramento that was founded by four locals who share a love of craft beer, bikes and canines (they often host “Yappy Hours,” where the Sacramento SPCA brings adoptable dogs to the tasting room and a dollar is donated from every pint purchased to the nonprofit). Though known for their Milk Stout and brewing a wide variety of IPAs and pale ales, you shouldn’t look past their other styles, including the West Sac Wheat. It’s perfect for both hop lovers and those who prefer light, crisp and refreshing beers. With aromas of banana and guava, and flavors of mango and pineapple, each sip transports you to a white sand beach. Being dry-hopped with Citra gives it a mild, slightly tropical taste and brings out the sweetness in dishes like Citrus Shrimp. —Eden Tuscano, 36 Handles Restaurant & Pub
