After six years, we had outgrown our leased space and decided to move a short way down the road to a bigger building in the Gulch. With a new 40 bbl brewhouse and plenty of space to add more tanks, we're excited about being able to spread the good beer across the rest of the Southeast!

-- HAP & HARRY'S --

Hap Motlow, of the legendary Jack Daniel family from Lynchburg, TN, used to tell his friend Harry Lipman, “To make great whiskey, you gotta make great beer.” As the first distributor of Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey after the repeal of prohibition, Harry passed this lesson down through the generations of Lipmans, who still remain in the beverage alcohol business to this day. Hap & Harry’s Lynchburg Lager honors the friendship these two men shared over a half century ago. Cheers to great friends and great beer!

Mid-way between the Sierra Foothills and San Francisco Bay Delta, vineyards such as those owned by the Van Ruiten Family profit from the ideal delta influenced climate (cool afternoon breeze) that produce ripe full-flavored Zinfandels. The Van Ruiten Family has been growing grapes in the Lodi area for more than 50 years.  What started out as a table grape community slowly transitioned into the growing of wine grapes in the early 1900’s.  Among the flourishing vines was the legendary Lodi Zinfandel.  John’s first acres of Zinfandel still remain as part of the estate today.  These Zinfandel vines are among the oldest, most historic and shyest bearing vines.

-- CUPCAKE ITALIAN PINOT GRIGIO --

Our winery is
located in Monterey County, California where warm days give way to cool nights as the fog rolls in off of the Pacific Ocean.  It’s this cooling influence that slows the growing process, increasing the time the grapes “hang” on the vine and thereby allow our grapes to mature a little slower than in hotter regions.  Slow growth and cool weather leads to a more balanced level of acids and sugars, thereby adding to the complexity and structure of the wines of the Central Coast.  This region is poised to become one of the newest and most exciting viticultural opportunities in the coming years.
