    This exciting exhibit explores the history of beer in the Sacramento region and its influence on Sacramento economy and society. Throughout the history of Sacramento, beer has played an important role in employment, agriculture and entertainment. By 1879 there were over 560,000 gallons of beer flowing out of Sacramento per year. With eight breweries, a saloon on almost every corner and acres of hops fields, beer was a major commodity in Sacramento. As Mark Twain commented on Sacramento, “You can shut your eyes and march into the first door you come to and call for a drink, and the chances are that you will get it.”
