Around The Horn Brewing Co

Nestled on the edge of the historic town of Groveland, just a short drive from Yosemite National Park, Around The Horn Brewing Company offers a true craft‑beer experience paired with hearty pub food. The taproom, housed in a reclaimed‑wood building, features a spacious beer garden called The Corral where visitors can enjoy pretzel bites with mustard, beer‑cheese dip, and a giant outdoor Connect 4 game. Their rotating tap list highlights the Whirlpool Gremlins, an 8 % ABV double‑dry‑hopped West Coast double IPA created with Riwaka Cryo, Nectaron, Citra, Columbus Cryo, and Mosaic Dynaboost hops, brewed in collaboration with Slice Beer Co of Lincoln, CA. Seasonal lagers and lighter styles are also available, and all beers can be sampled in flights or taken home in 16‑oz cans from the online store. Food is supplied by Gateway at the Brewery, offering classic American fare such as burgers, salads, and the signature pretzel platter, all priced between $10 and $20. On Saturdays the brewery celebrates its sixth anniversary brunch with two special brunch dishes, three drink specials—including micheladas, fancy mimosas, and spiked cold‑brew coffee—and a mural unveiling that honors America’s 250th birthday. The event supports the Grade to Gate Foundation through a silent auction and a complimentary birthday cake. Open daily except Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the taproom welcomes guests from 12 pm to 8 pm. With free parking, pet‑friendly outdoor seating, and a friendly staff that often shares the story of the “Whirlpool Gremlins” crew, Around The Horn is a perfect stop for hikers heading to Yosemite, families looking for a relaxed meal, or craft‑beer enthusiasts seeking new flavors.
