## About

Bootlegger’s Brewery grew out of the local craft beer community and has remained focused on purveying the highest quality beer to our neighbors. We believe fresh local beer builds a stronger community. Opening out first tasting room in Fullerton, California in 2008 was always the dream of our founder Aaron Barkenhagen. We have firmly followed our motto of “Drink Fresh, Drink Local” by opening a new tasting room in Costa Mesa. 

Over the years, we’ve grown from a one-person operation to over 40 employees. We’ve expanded our equipment by installing a new 30-barrel brewhouse in the summer of 2015. Since then we have brewed over 400 unique craft beers for the craft beer community.
