Dying Breed Brewing is located in Oakdale, California, a small country town originally settled by Francis Cottle and his herd of cattle in 1853. We chose our Highlander cow, quite frankly, for its amazing hairdo and to reflect the beginning of a great tradition. Oakdale is a longtime cattle ranching community known as the cowboy capital of the world that is today part of a dying breed. At Dying Breed Brewing, we believe in keeping good traditions alive and paying homage to those that worked hard at their craft. We do our part by developing local craft beer made with the finest ingredients and inspired by a story of tradition. So, come in, have a pint, and share your story with us. We believe we’re all part of a dying breed, and your story should be told.
