The Calistoga Inn was first built in 1887, 22 years after the towns founder, Sam Brannan, bought
property to build the “Saratoga of the Pacific.” The popularity of the Inn gradually grew and by the 1930s its
reputation had reached all the way to Hollywood. Carol Lombard and Charles Laughton starred in “They Knew
What They Wanted”, about an Italian grape grower from Napa and his mail-order bride, which was filmed at the
Inn. Over the years the Calistoga Inn survived the economic effects of the Depression, periods of neglect and five
major wars. Then, in 1987, the new owners of the Inn branded Calistoga beer and established the Napa Valley
Brewing Company, the first commercial brewery in Napa County since prohibition.
The Inn has become an institution for both locals and tourists alike. It embodies the heart and soul of wine
country with it’s casual atmosphere, friendly staff and attention to detail. Welcome to the Calistoga Inn and enjoy!

SEASONAL BEERS
Fresh Hop Gargoyle I.P.A. ABV: 6.4%
Hops are dried immediately after harvest to
preserve fresh essences. Once a year, a fresh,
raw hop beer can be made. This flavorful
American IPA had 20 pounds of an indigenous
California hop grown in Lake County added at
the end of fermentation. Enjoy the complex
mango, citrus and grassy notes that only this
wet Gargoyle hop can provide. Pint 6
Oktoberfest ABV: 6.3%
A rich, copper-colored, moderately hopped
l a g e r. H i s t o r i c a l l y, d u e t o a l a c k o f
refrigeration, this Märzen style beer was
brewed in Germany in March and then stored
in cold caves during the heat of the summer
until late September. In the mid 1800s this
style of beer was used to celebrate a Noble’s
we d d i n g , s t a r t i n g t h e t r a d i t i o n o f t h e
Oktoberfest. Prost! Pint 6
Blackberry Pale Ale ABV: 6.6%
Copious amounts of blackberries in this mildly
hopped pale ale gives this unique beer a
beautiful purple hue and wonderful berry
aroma. This dry finished beer is made with
flavorful malts, a small amount of spicy Saaz
hops and 170 pounds of blackberry puree.
Cheers! Pint 6
Barrel Aged Barley Wine ABV: 11.0%
An American version of a traditional English
style ale. This multi-layered, rich, malty beer
has a complex alcohol, dried fruit and vanilla
flavor from aging for over a year in a
combination of Bourbon and white wine
barrels. The moderate caramel sweetness
balances well with the lingering bitterness from
American hops. Perfect for a cool day, it is
served in a snifter to better enhance the
drinking experience. Sorry, no growlers or
pitchers of the barley wine. Snifter 6
