Sonora Brewing Company
Sonora, California, USA
Tally's Take
Why this matters
A brewery and restaurant at 28 South Washington Street, now permanently closed. Bigwood Brew Works occupies the site as of 2026, and the archive infers no ownership or corporate continuity between the two brands. That is worth stating out loud, because a new brewery in an old brewery's room is the single most common way two unrelated businesses end up merged into one record — this collection has documented six such sites today alone.
