Craftsmanship
Our Stance on Quality
Beer has been with the human condition since recorded history. In the past 12,000 years it has shaped lives, experiences and social interactions. What changes is who brings it and how they bring it to people who would like to try it. There’s always going to be room for quality beer, and we’re obsessed with producing the best.
Great Beer Starts With Great Ingredients
As the stewards of craft beer and Anderson Valley it is our belief that the finest beers are born in nature. It is our job to turn those raw ingredients into beverages we are proud to share.
Water
We tap our most precious resource. With ten wells situated throughout our property our beer is born from the pristine aquifers of Anderson Valley. We’ve tap our most precious resource in the heart of Anderson Valley.
Ingredients
Only the finest hops, malt, barley, and fruit go into our beers and rather than using extracts or flavorings our fruited sours are made by co-fermenting real fruit puree during fermentation.
Precise & Proven Methods
Using historic brewing traditions and modern technology we brew, laboratory test, and sample every batch to ensure the quality and consistency that you’ve grown to love and trust for the last three decades.
