There’s at least one pub in Sacramento with a couple hand-pulled pumps.

> A quick google says there are a lot. I found one article from 2011 that listed a dozen breweries with at least one hand-pumped ale, but I’m sure that’s way out of date by now. [Big Time Brewery](http://bigtimebrewery.com/about.html) advertises one real ale on tap at all times. [Machine House](http://www.machinehousebrewery.com/tasting-room/) is a traditional English brewery with all their beers on the hand pump. I’m sure there are others.

Thanks TroutMan. My google-fu is obviously weak. The Big Time Brewery is close to me and I will check that out.
