Third Anniversary

Hard to believe that three years have gone by so quickly. Seems like only yesterday that we were brewing our first batch of beer or even sitting in an empty warehouse, imagining where the mash tun would be placed. We've had so much love and support from the craft beer community this past year and we're really excited for all the things yet to come.

For our party this year, we're stepping things up a notch and rather than the typical day where people come down to our facility and try a few of our beers, we'll be renting out a beer garden space at the nearby Phoenix Club and throwing our very own beer festival! We've invited a whole bunch of local breweries plus a few of those that we have collaborated with recently and we'll of course be pouring a ton of our own beers. We've also divided the party up into two sessions and each session has a special VIP area where some of our more rare beers will be poured. Music is going to be provided by Jack FM, food will be sold through The Phoenix Club and we'll also be serving complimentary cheeses and snacks from The Bruery Provisions.

Most importantly, all of the proceeds from the event will be benefitting a local medical clinic that helps the poorest of the poor in Orange County obtain all sorts of medical care. The clinic is called Lestonnac and we highly suggest you check them out.

Thank You!

As many of you know, this past Saturday we held our First Anniversary Party at The Bruery.  Over seven hours, kegs were drained, BBQ consumed, and chocolate-covered bacon demolished; all in some really great company.  Throughout the course of the day, we had about 400 of our friends come and celebrate with us!  We had an amazing time, and we hope you did too.  

We want to thank all of you who were able to make it out and everyone who has supported us over the past year.  We're looking forward to our 2nd Anniversary!

Here are a few pictures of the event.  You can also check out some great pictures that our friend Paul has posted.

Happy Birthday to Us!

That’s right, The Bruery is turning 1 year old!  So you know what that means; a celebration is in order.  On Saturday, May 16^th, we’d like to invite you to come help us commemorate our first year in the craft beer making business with - well beer of course!

In addition to our year-round offerings, we’ll be releasing Papier, our anniversary ale.  Papier is a Belgian-style Old Ale layered with complex flavors of dark fruit, vanilla, oak, and burnt sugar.  This robust ale weighs in at 14.5% ABV and we think it's the perfect beer to mark our first big milestone. 

We’ll also be pouring Levud’s, which was our very first batch, as well as Melange #1, Humulus Ambre, Cuvee Juene, White Zin, and yes, for all you Melange lovers, #3 will be making an appearance!  

Excited yet?

How about some barbeque to wash down your beer?  Beachwood BBQ will be on hand to satisfy any beer-fueled cravings for the smoky stuff.  And if you need a little something else in between brews, we’ll have some additional treats available for snacking (haven’t had the Bruery Belgian Waffles yet?  Here’s your chance!)

The party will run from 11 AM through 6 PM, and we’ll be accommodating 150 people at a time.  The ticket price is $25 and includes beer tasting tickets, food tickets, and your Bruery glassware.  We’ll also have some commemorative Papier t-shirts available! 

So come help us raise a toast to our first year, and have a great time doing it!  We look forward to seeing you there!
