Ken Grossman started Sierra Nevada in 1980 with a hand-built brewhouse and the odds stacked against him.

We’re committed to advancing a culture of inclusion and believe diversity in all its forms makes us stronger. We keep pushing boundaries, whether that’s in the brewhouse, with sustainability, or in the great outdoors.
