Founded in 1987, the Anderson Valley Brewing Company brewed out of a 10-barrel brewhouse, located in the lower level of its brewpub, The Buckhorn Saloon. These brews began as a dream of Kenneth Allen to create the smoothest tasting ales available anywhere. The centerpieces of the brewhouse are gleaming 100- and 85- barrel copper brew kettles rescued by Ken Allen from defunct German breweries during a trip to Europe in 1995. By 2010 Ken Allen decided to retire and began to search for a successor to continue the Anderson Valley commitment to quality. In April of 2010 the brewery sold to industry veteran Trey White. White has focused on innovation and quality, introducing the Bahl Hornin’ Series, expanding the barrel aged program, and increasing brewing capacity.

Dean Biersch is a co-founder of the Gordon Biersch Brewery Restaurant Group and Gordon Biersch Brewing Company, established in 1988. HopMonk serves 18 premier American craft and international draft beers, season to season. Year round house beers served only at HopMonk are the famed Kellerbier and Dunkleweizen, both served unfiltered. The eclectic tavern menu features grass fed beef, curried samosas, fresh mussels, slow roasted pulled pork and popular fish and chips.
