ORANGEVALE, CA (MPG) - Wow! Did the Orangevale Loyal 2 Local find another cool place to visit! If you have not tried Palm Tree Brewery at 6124 Hazel Ave. in Orangevale, you are really missing something. What a fun place to hang out with your friends with ample outside seating. If the name sounds familiar it’s because Palm Tree Brewery was located next to Adalberto’s on Greenback from 2018. Derek Clark, the owner, was successful at that location but found that after a few years he needed something bigger. He closed the one location and opened the new location at 6124 Hazel in February 2020, right before Covid set in. He classifies his brewery as a Beer bar/Pregame diner.

Derek is from Hawaii. So why did he choose Orangevale to start his business? He chose Orangevale because of its community atmosphere and the comradery of other fellow business owners. He states, “Without the community outpouring, he would never have opened up.” Derek believes in paying it forward. As long as he has lived in Orangevale, he has served as a director at the Chamber of Commerce and has worked at the Orangevale Fair Oaks Food Bank in his off-hours. He has even purchased a new home in Orangevale. He is planning a Bingo night down the road with half the proceeds to go to the Food Bank. Derek is a very energetic and ambitious individual with lots of ideas in the future to make a big success of the Palm Tree Brewery, from enlarging the outside eating area to eventually having music.

His menu is full of yummy comfort food. He currently has many different types of hotdogs, sausage and bratwurst, 3 types of tamales: chicken, beef and chili cheese with green sauce, cheese and pepperoni pizza and the most popular food on the menu-nachos with jalapeños and chili with cheese and Fritos. He serves “Good clean straight forward beer, ale and lagers”. His special recipe cans of Queen and King IPA beer can be found in the Grocery Outlet in both Roseville and Orangevale, Scotty’s Hideaway, and Tonna’s Sports Bar and Grill. He hopes to have the beer in 50 different stores. In fact, look for it in the local Raley’s and Bel Air by early summer this year. Watch for the Poncho Villa food truck on some Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Derek is offering a special of one Cheese Pizza with any beer of your choice for only $10 until Saturday, March 27^th. Be sure to say where you saw the special!  The hours are Monday – Thursday noon to 10:00pm, Friday and Saturday; noon to 11:00pm and Sunday noon to 9:00pm.  The Palm Tree Brewery is making good craft beer you can try over and over again!
