Sequoia Brewing Company

Years ago when this was Butterfield’s—and when I lived in Fresno—my family went here with my uncle. My uncle was visiting from out of town, and is something of a microbrewery snob.

I couldn’t have been even ten, so I felt like such a “grown-up” eating the beer-battered calamari.

Formerly the Butterfields Brewing Company, Sequoia Brewing has brick oven baked pizza, steaks, burgers and pasta and of course a variety of true craft brewed beers with more character and flavor than you can get from a six pack of bud.

They also feature live music from local bands on fridays and saturdays and live Jazz on wednesday nights.
