Still The One Brewery Tour - California

Sierra Nevada’s humble beginnings go back to 1979, in a warehouse over on Gilman Way in Chico, CA. It was also the same year the federal government legalized homebrewing. The nascent craft beer movement started picking up steam. And Ken Grossman, first a homebrewer and the founder of Sierra Nevada, leaned in.

After almost a decade of making it work on Gilman way, Ken doubled down and broke ground at our 20th Street facility, beginning with the East Brewhouse. This tour will take you along Ken’s 20th Street journey as he launched Sierra Nevada into the forefront of the craft beer revolution. We will explore how the original 2-acre facility evolved into our current facility that produces 2 million kegs annually! As we walk through how our brewery became a cornerstone in craft, we will share the professional and personal challenges that faced Ken as Sierra Nevada grew to be bigger than anything he could have imagined.

This journey is a half-mile walk through our brewery maze. At the end of your adventure, we will provide you with a refreshing flight so you can see what all the fuss is about and know why Sierra Nevada is still the one.
