About Humboldt Regeneration Brewery & Farm

Humboldt Regeneration Brewery & Farm is a nano-brewery and regenerative beer-farm located on the North coast of Humboldt County California. Established in 2012 with a strong mission to promote sustainable agriculture using craft beer and a very unique barrel aged craft malt vinegar as talking points. In 2015 we were recognized by the California Craft Brewers Association for being the first California craft brewery to grow a 100% locally grown and malted beer since prohibition! Part or our mission is to reduce waste so all of our spent-grain from the brewing process is used on our farm, some is used as chicken feed and the rest is fermented into a highly active biological soil amendment and added back to our fields. We are also able to capture beer foam from the packaging process which would normally end up as waste, like when filling kegs for example. The rescued beer is re-fermented into malt vinegar which is then transferred into barrels for a special aging process called Solera blending. The aging vinegar travels through a series of Napa Chardonnay barrels which blends every vintage from 2012 till about one year old. This long aging creates a very complex craft vinegar, it is a very small production, and it is being used by multiple award winning California chefs! A second brand was added to our vinegar lineup in 2022. We bottle one small batch per year of a second blend that is finished for a full year in a local craft distillery Bourbon barrel, great for shrub cocktails!Read their story
