Nevada Brewery
107 Sacramento Street
Nevada City
Built 1882
In 1882, George Gehrig, employing Italian stonemasons and Chinese laborers, built this brewery
from locally quarried granite blocks. The workers also dug a storage cave for aging casks of ale.
The cave was once connected to a network of tunnels that ran beneath Nevada City, but these tunnels
were filled when the formerly quiet Route 49 was expanded into the freeway which now bisects Nevada City.
The Old Nevada Brewery is open to the public as the Stonehouse Restaurant.
