A general's prized mare and a shipwreck. A naval shipyard founded in 1854. Forty thousand welders, torpedo makers, radiomen and Rosie the Riveters securing our freedom through a Civil, a Cold, and two World Wars. Two winemakers now toiling to handcraft beer worthy of this historic island.
Behind Every Great Beer

Learn about the storied naval base, how our founders went from wine to beer, and the story of how our little brewery grew into the communal hub our loyal patrons have come to love.

We're excited to announce the release of our War Bond California Common – a new beer benefiting non-profits in our community. The first beneficiaries of our War Bond Program are three local museums – and because so much of our brand has been inspired by the incredible history of Mare Island, Vallejo, and Benicia – we wanted to start by showing some support to these three great organizations that are working to keep it alive: Mare Island Historic Park Foundation, Vallejo Naval & Historical Museum, and Benicia Historical Museum.
