Located close to the to ocean, Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing folks spend everyday hearing, smelling, seeing and being part of the sea.
The power and beauty of our Pacific Ocean challenge us to brew the best Organic beer we can. Not only is it a stunning place to live, it's also a place that needs to be protected; its a National Marine Sanctuary.That's why we brew in a way that honors and protects our natural resources.
As brewers and beer people, we draw inspiration from the beauty of our environment and strive to brew ales that reflect our feelings for this place. We chose to be organic because we want to do our part to take care of our ecosystem.
