Umunhum Brewing is California's first cooperative brewery. Incorporated in February 2013 as the San Jose Cooperative Brewery and Pub, our co-op was created by and for fans of craft beer, ale, cider, and other tasty fermented beverages.
As tribute to our local heritage, the co-op was renamed Umunhum Brewing in 2015, after Mt. Umunhum, an iconic peak in the nearby Santa Cruz mountains. The word "umunhum" is from the Oholone language and means "resting place of the hummingbird." Our mission is to create a new "resting place" worthy of our local community.
We are passionate about great beer, great food, customer service, and supporting local and organic farms. As a democratically owned and operated business, our motto is "Your drink the beer. You should own the bar." So we'd like to invite you to become a member and co-owner at join.umunhumbrewing.com.
