JUNESHINE
It all started as we were wandering the aisles of our local grocery store: Why do we know so much about the food we eat, but not the alcohol we drink? This simple question led us to create JuneShine. We brew alcohol that you can feel better about drinking. It's all handcrafted in San Diego, CA with real, premium ingredients. No sketchy sweeteners, syrups, or artificial flavors. Everything is sustainably produced, too–we're completely carbon neutral and donate one percent of sales to environmental nonprofits.

FIRESTONE WALKER
Born in a humble shed on the back-forty of the family vineyard, Firestone Walker is a California beer company like no other—founded by two brothers-in-law who simply wanted to make the perfect beer.
The story begins with Adam Firestone (a.k.a. The Bear) and David Walker (a.k.a. The Lion) debating the subject of beer. Their search for a decent local ale proved futile, and it wasn’t long before they had goaded themselves into brewing their own. Their initial brewing efforts were made in a second-hand brewhouse with converted winemaking equipment—mostly with mixed results. But the hook was set when their first recipe for Double Barrel Ale was attempted.

Our talented brewers obsess over beer quality and have the creative freedom to adjust and improve our beers every day, take risks and have fun. The proof is in the pint. Come sample our 16+beers on draft at each of our pubs and you’ll see what we mean. Oh, and did you know that all our beers are damn near gluten-free? Yep. Cheers!
