Established in 2007
Patrick picked up homebrewing as a hobby, later to become an obsession, as a distraction to the banality of law school. Soon he was winning numerous awards for his beers and driving his wife, Rachel, mad with the messes that he would leave on the kitchen stove. Upon finishing school, he took it upon himself to draw up a business plan rather than study for the California Bar exam – a risky endeavor that shows through still today in the creative, genre-tilting beers that The Bruery prides itself on.
The Bruery is founded on the excitement that Patrick felt in those first years of homebrewing and we continue to strive for that same passion in every aspect of our business today. We never stop challenging ourselves to develop distinctive & imaginative beers, constantly pursuing improvement in all that we do. We brew dozens of original beers each year with our list of ingredients and inspirations growing perpetually. Our collection of oak barrels has also become a primary element of our brewery. Nearly half of our beer is aged in wine or spirit barrels bringing forth flavors reminiscent of the Belgian countryside or classic American distillers.

12.7 oz bottle from Reserve Society. Aroma has notes of bourbon, vanilla, toffee, dark fruit, coconut, wood. Pours muddy brown with an immediately collapsing beige head. Taste is moderately to highly sweet, a little tart, with some firm bitterness around the edges. Tastes mighty fine, but it smells even better. Would be better without the tartness. Flavors of bourbon barrels, toffee and dark fruit.

From Beer Drop, date is illegible.
Pours a hazy straw gold with a large head of foam that shrinks down to a finger. Lacing is good.
Smell is coriander and orange zest, with a hint of fruity tartness.
The taste is coriander, orange zest, yeasty, fruity with a mild tartness. Very flavourful for 3.5% abv, indeed.
Light bodied but not watery, lively carbonation, I would drink this again.
