I have been living in Humboldt County for over 30 years. I moved up from the Bay Area to finish up college courses at Humboldt State University to obtain degrees in Child Development, Art, and Physical Education. l liked the lifestyle, landscape, art and music scene in Humboldt. I taught art, sports and music and conducted workshops in the Humboldt County School systems for 12 years. I learned to play disc golf in the Redwoods and play professionally around Northern California. I enjoy photographing the scenic Northcoast, canoeing the many waterways, playing drums and making music with friends.
At the time I moved here, the Humboldt Brewing Company had just opened in downtown Arcata as a brewery, restaurant and venue. As a fan of good beer, food and music, it was the place to go. Red Nectar, Hemp Ale and Black Cherry Stout were some local favorites. In late 2003, the Brewery ceased all operations. At that time a couple of friends and some employees of the Brewery formed Humboldt Brews, LLC.
On March 19, 2004 we reopened the doors in the exact location where the Humboldt Brewing Company all got started. Ten of us formed the initial LLC and in 2015 I obtained 100% ownership. So on to 2020… my brother David and I purchased the rights to the Humboldt Brewing Company from Total Beverage Solutions. Our goal is to bring Humboldt Brewing Company back to it’s origin and share some good beer with the locals and eventually beyond the Redwood Curtain.
Here’s to my next Humboldt dream and adventure…
