Award-winning brewery and restaurant in a historic Old Town building.
Auburn Alehouse occupies the historic American Block Building at the heart of Old Town Auburn, a brick-and-mortar landmark that once housed the Shanghai Restaurant. Opened in 2007, this brewpub pairs the character of the old building with a gleaming 10-barrel microbrewery, and guests can watch beer being made just steps from their table. The kitchen turns out American pub fare for lunch and dinner, while the outdoor patio looks toward the historic Auburn courthouse. The alehouse has earned medals at the Great American Beer Festival, with house favorites including its Gold Country Pilsner, Hop Donkey IPA and Old Town Brown Ale. The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, blending small-town warmth with craft-beer credibility. Visitors come for fresh-brewed, award-winning beer in a setting steeped in Auburn history.
