While Golden Road Brewing has made a name for themselves as the first canned craft beer in Los Angeles, President Meg Gill and Brewmaster Jesse Houck are reaching out to their San Francisco roots with a few select placements in the City by the Bay, brewbound.com reported on April, 8.
With rotating taps at six locations, and two accounts for their packaged beer, Golden Road is taking the first baby steps into the Bay Area.
Each of the initial placements has been hand-selected and hand-sold by Gill, and Golden Road is working closely with the distribution team at Matagrano to keep their Bay Area presence close-knit and personal.
“We still have much work to do in Southern California to fulfill our goals, and our intention with these placements is to give back to the bars and people that gave us our start. The Bay Area is where I cultivated my love for beer and my palate, and it’s great to be able to come back in some small way,” said Houck.
“Selling in San Francisco is a romantic endeavor for us; Jesse, Tony, and I all met at different times but all in the SoMa neighborhood of San Francisco when I was first finding my footing in the beer world. We are literally retracing our roots and ideas that have built Golden Road,” added Gill.
City Beer, Toronado, Whole Foods Market Portero, Abbott’s Cellar, Monk’s Kettle and Dark Horse will all be carrying Golden Road’s (newly reformulated) flagship Point the Way IPA, with other limited edition brews scattered throughout, including Wolf Among Weeds, Golden Road Berliner Weisse, It’s Not Always Sunny in LA.
