A pioneer in the Craft Beer movement, North Coast Brewing Company opened in 1988 as a local brewpub in the historic town of Fort Bragg, located on California’s Mendocino Coast.

Under the leadership of original Brewmaster & Co-Founder, Mark Ruedrich, the brewery has developed a strong reputation for quality, having won more than 110 awards in national and international competitions. 

Featuring Red Seal Ale, Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout, Scrimshaw Pilsner, Brother Thelonious Abbey Ale, North Coast Steller IPA and other fine North Coast brands, we continue our mission to “Make the World a Better Place, One Pint at a Time”.

These exceptional beers are available in 48 states now and also are exported to Europe and the Pacific Rim.
