ABOUT

In October of 2019, Mad River Brewing Company became a wholly owned business by the Yurok Agriculture Corporation, making it one of the first Tribal Breweries in the United States. A women-led craft brewery now expanding efforts to create meaningful partnerships in Indian Country and trailblazing a Native American Category in the craft beer industry, Mad River Brewery continues to honor their 30+years legacy of brewing best-quality beers by employing the cut-no-corners approach that continues to result in the most prestigious awards in the industry.

ethos

Known for exceptional green production processes, Mad River Brewery has won 7 WRAP awards presented by the California Integrated Waste Management Board for outstanding efforts in waste reduction. Much of the organic waste, spent barley malt and yeast, are fed to local livestock or used as composting material. Mad River Brewery continues to set itself apart, developing products that disrupt the industry, offering quality, complexity, and purpose by aligning new products with endeavors related to environmental stewardship and water advocacy.
