Bigwood Brew Works
Sonora, California, USA
Tally's Take
Why this matters
California Pass 187. Official 2026 site identifies active downtown Sonora brewery/restaurant and states all beer is brewed in-house. The same address was formerly used by Sonora Brewing Company, but no corporate continuity is inferred; Bigwood is a separate canonical brewery.
