Andrew Casteel’s passion for beer began during his college days at Caltech, where he repeatedly, unsuccessfully tried to sample every one of the 40 beers at Lucky Baldwins before they changed their tap list. An avid homebrewer, BJCP judge and certified Cicerone, Andrew decided to take the plunge and start a brewery after traveling through Belgium and experiencing the breadth of styles and the depth of craft in their beers. He sought to merge this traditional approach with the California bounty that is all around him. Andrew lives zealously, whether he’s brewing, hunting, diving, running, biking, cooking or otherwise seeking his next adventure.
