Our Head Brewer Kolaan is a Ventura county native that didn't think he'd be back so soon. He grew up roaming the hills of Thousand Oaks and the central coast, building a huge love for the outdoors that ultimately sent him to study Biology in Sonoma County. While studying Ecology, he fell in love with homebrewing and hoppy beer. He then adamantly wheeled himself into the brewing industry of Santa Rosa. A few years later after brewing in Sonoma, San Diego and Los Angeles, he cannot wait to bring the flavors he's discovered all over the Golden State (and beyond) back to Ventura County.
