Three new beers are being tapped: Point Bonita Rustic Lager, Hill 88 Double IPA and Groupe G Belgian RyePA, brewed and crafted by the recently launched Headlands Brewing, 7x7 reported on July, 16.
The founders of the brewery are: Phil Cutti, Head Brewer at SouthPaw BBQ, Patrick Horn, former co-owner of Pacific Brewing Laboratory, and Inna Volynskaya, a former Operations Manager at Lagunitas. With financing from investors, the three got Headlands up and running in a scant four months. The beers are currently contract-brewed at Devil’s Canyon Brewery, but Headlands is shopping for a location to establish a 20 to 30 barrel brewhouse. And although their beers are currently available only on draft, Headlands plans to package them in 16-ounce cans starting in September.
“I see the styles defined by the BJCP (Beer Judging Certification Program) as guidelines. I will always give a nod to the traditional, but like to paint outside the lines sometimes. There are so many new hop varieties and yeast strains and blends that it is essentially limitless as to what we as brewers can create,” said Phil Cutti talking about an increasingly crowded craft beer market.
“As a company, we strive for a strong connection with the thriving Bay Area brewing and craft beer community. We have been a part of this community for a combined 20 plus years and hope to be a part of its continued growth. We will focus on connecting with our customers through events like the traditional beer dinners and festivals, but will also be utilizing the amazing place we live in for some more adventurous outings,” said Cutti.
