Our Community

We are a diverse group of brewers and brewing industry professionals strewn across the Northern part of the great state of California, reaching from the towering redwoods of Humboldt to the rolling green hills of San Luis Obispo, from the coast of the pacific to the mighty Sierras.

From old school veteran craft breweries to new start-ups, from nano brewers to full scale production facilities, we hope to provide educational experiences that can benefit everyone.

Meetings are typically hosted in the greater Bay Area and we are always looking for new opportunities to connect with the community, whether it's an educational seminar or a casual happy hour. People from all backgrounds are welcome, and together our community has strength in its collective knowledge.
