California Brewing Company began as an idea among a group of friends who share a passion for creating great beers and a belief that great beers should be shared and enjoyed by all. "Fresh brewed" isn't just a saying – it's a way of life for us. When you sit down with your mates to have a cold one, you want to know what you are getting. This is not the time to find out that the ale you ordered is not all its creator’s claimed it would be! Why does it have to be so complicated? What’s wrong with great beer, made with fresh and locally grown ingredients without the gimmicks? Absolutely nothing! In fact, being a simple, quality beer is better! Hey, we like great beer too, we just can’t see spending a fortune for it and neither should you.
