Welcome to the always hopping modern brewpub, where sometimes the beer itself is an afterthought. One night it\u2019s cornhole, the next night trivia, or a concert, or maybe a trip back in time through a pinball arcade.<\/p>\n

\u201cBreweries are there for people to have beer, but they\u2019re also there for people to spend time with each other and inspire conversation and make jokes and stuff,\u201d says Trey Hart, a recent \u201cJeopardy\u201d champion who hosts Redwood Empire Food Bank\u2019s popular Tap Out Hunger trivia night fundraisers at breweries from Parliament to HenHouse. (Check out refb.org<\/a> for their upcoming lineup of Tap Out Hunger brewery trivia nights).<\/p>\n

Just to give you an idea of what\u2019s out there, here\u2019s a less-than-exhaustive list of daily entertainment from the local brewery scene:<\/p>\n
