We are an Oakland brewery producing our beers in small batches one beer at a time. It is our goal to keep your taste buds intrigued by constantly producing different flavors. To us, making the same 3-4 beers all the time would be boring. We hope you feel the same way. Our limited output and choice to abandon the common concept of a set production schedule will allow us to constantly experiment with different hops, barrels, and yeasts.

3. Barebottle Brewing Company
San Francisco, United States
Our philosophy and process are pretty simple: 1) Use the things that inspire us every day from the SF/Bay Area as the foundation for each new beer we make. 2) Inspire our merry band of super-talented brewing comrades (which includes our head brewer, the founders, and some of the bay areaโs best homebrewers) to create new beers. 3) Just like in regular competitions, we pilot-brew a select group of the best finalist beers and ask visitors to the brewery to cast their vote for their favorite beer. May the best beer always win. We believe that this approach will lead to some incredible beers, and we hope you are eager to help us try some of them.
