## About

Aztec Brewing Company originated in Mexico during the Prohibition period. When Prohibition was lifted, the company later moved to San Diego. Shortly after settling in San Diego, a competitor from the Midwest took interest in the brewery and purchased it in 1953. The brewery was later retired.  

In 2008, the new founders, John Webster and Claudia Flauk, have decided to give the Aztec Brewing Company a new start. They incorporated fine malts and high quality of hops into their beer flavors. Over the years, Aztec Brewing Company managed to craft wide variety of beers that emphasize old tradition and new beer styles.
