Fair-to-mediocre beers. The tasting room is at the corner of Murphys Grade Road. and (lower) French Gulch Road, three miles outside of Angels Camp CA. It's been more than five years since I've had the opportunity to taste Murphys Creek beers, and the new brewers insist that they've made great improvements, so give them a try.

Golden...I think. (All the lighting in here is loud neon...not one white incandescent bulb in the place.) Thin head. Hoppy aroma. Bitter hoppy flavor, wheat follows.
