## About

Moonlight Brewery got its start out in the sticks of Sonoma County back in 1992, when Brian Hunt figured he could turn an old tractor barn into a brewery. It turns out he was right — though the tractor never forgave him.

Back then, it was just Brian, a few tanks, and a lot of stubborn ideas about what good beer ought to taste like. He wasn’t chasing trends or trying to take over the world — he just wanted to make honest beer that made people smile, one pint at a time.

But being a one man band making beer, selling beer, delivering beer and occasionally paying taxes became the job of 2 or 4 or 8 people. These days, Moonlight has moved out of the barn and into a space with actual floors, lights, and the occasional laptop. But don’t let that fool you — we’re still small, still independent, and still brewing beer with the same mix of curiosity, humor and chaos that started it all.

You can find our beer on tap and in cans around Sonoma County, San Francisco, and the greater Northern California area. And a few places we’re honestly surprised to see it show up.

Check out the map on our website to see where the trail of Moonlight leads next — and if you spot our beer in the wild, raise a glass to tractors, stubborn dreams, and the joy of a good pour.
