Almanac Beer Co partners with fruit farmers in California the way others do with hop farmers, ensuring they have access to some of the most interesting and unusual flavors for their Farm to Bottle series. And their pale side is as good as most in a discerning west coast market. Their packaging is beautiful, their concept comes to life, and the beer delivers on the promise of something different.
All this from Jesse Friedman and Damian Fagan, two home brewers who went the gypsy route, and are now on their way to creating a northern California institution with their own barrel aging facility.
