The idea for Ale Industries started on the front porch of the Old River house, on Hammer Island, CA. Steve and Morgan brewed together almost every weekend, through scorching summers, wind and rain, and one time even through a flood! During the week they both worked at the local craft brewery, and learned how to turn their dream into an actual production brewery. Morgan sold the river house, and Steve sold everything he owned, then the two started down the path to Ale Industries.
