Seed to glass, for us, is more than simply pouring a beer that we grew adjacent to the brewery. The brewery was started on a shoe string budget and a one beer barrel system. Through our community and beer lovers alike we have been able to organically pursue our final destination as an Estate Brewery producing and recycling all of our own ingredients. Our seed started with an idea. It is now part of a movement.

Our Mission is to raise awareness about the importance of re-localization and build a healthy community.  We aim to serve as a small Humboldt County business directly supporting our local food-economy.  By growing our own ingredients, distributing directly to community members, and having an educational focus pertaining to craft brewing and sustainable agricultural practices we hope to help build a more resilient community.

The roots

the vision

Humboldt Regeneration is a Sustainable Farmhouse Brewery which means we are growing our own grains and hops. The barley and wheat are floor-malted on site and we offer a Community Supported Brewery program (CSB). The CSB program is a growler exchange that is similar to a weekly food box from a CSA farm. Our artisan crafted non-traditional Belgian style brews are created by Owner/Brewmaster Jacob Pressey.

​Jacob studied Environmental Science with a focus in Soils and Alternative Agriculture at HSU. While studying, he brewed at Eel River Brewing Co. After putting the two passions together, Humboldt Regeneration was born with a focus on re-instituting sustainable practices into a beer that is controlled on every level. Starting with a one Bbl. brew system and always finding way to fit more fermentation into the modest space, he has continually found more ways to bring additional options and a growing knowledge to the customers. ​

The goal from the beginning has been to supply and recycle our entire ingredient supply chain. Nothing has changed since then. Through our trials of grains, hops and other ingredients we will continue to find the most fruitful, native, and beneficial yields for our beer and other products. The vision sits on the deck of a Beer Garden along the Humboldt Coastline overlooking fields of Barley interlaced with towering hops vines - a true California Estate Brewery.  
​
Education has always been a focus of the brewery. We have and will continue to host brewing, farming, and fermentation seminars for the community to personally experience Farm to Glass. In the end, we want everyone to enjoy our beer and know just where it came from. Cheers!
