About
Alpine Beer Company began with Patrick and Valerie McIlhenney in 1999. We are a small-town brewery, nestled in the foothills of the mountains just outside of San Diego. From IPAs to small-batch sours, we’ve been crafting high-quality ales since 1999. Known as the “Home of Pure Hoppiness,” people travel from near and far to try our special brews. Now you can bring home a little taste of hoppiness from Alpine.

In 2014 Alpine Beer Company and Green Flash officially joined forces, allowing for the expansion that Pat had been working on to become an immediate reality.

In December 2021, Alpine Beer Co. was acquried by Atlanta-based SweetWater Brewing Co.

Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Slightly hazy golden color with a medium bright white head that burns away quickly to an outer ring. Strings of lace. Aroma of floral hops, citrus and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of grassy hops, citrus and biscuit malt. The finish is mildly bitter with a lingering citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
