Fort Point Beer Company is a beer company located in the Presidio of San Francisco, California, in the United States.

History

Two brothers, Tyler Catalana and Justin Catalana, started Fort Point in 2014. The pair owned a small restaurant and brewery, Mill Valley Beerworks, in Mill Valley, California;[1] Mill Valley Beerworks employee Mike Schnebeck joined the Catalanas as head brewer at the new beer-only venture.[2] Their brewery is located in the Presidio of San Francisco's Crissy Field, overlooking Fort Point. They are a member of the San Francisco Brewers Guild.[3]

They began canning their beers in 2015, selling them in local San Francisco retailers.[4] Uniquely, they are serving as their own distributors.[5]

In 2016, Fort Point opened a kiosk at the Ferry Building in San Francisco.[4] The kiosk includes six tap handles, with beer delivered daily from the brewery, and available in pints or to-go in growlers.[6]

Production

Fort Point's beer lineup focuses on everyday session beers designed to compete with popular macrobrewers such as Stella Artois or Budweiser rather than other local microbrewers.[5] They brew four core beers: KSA (a kölsch-style ale), Villager (a San Francisco style IPA), Westfalia (a Nuremberg-inspired red ale), and Park (a single hop pale ale series), as well as a host of seasonal and special releases. They brewed a special beer designed to be paired with food, Tosca, exclusively for local restaurant Tosca Cafe.[7]

In 2015, they won a Good Food Award for Manzanita, a smoked altbier with manzanita wood.[8]

In 2014, their production was 2,000 barrels; by 2015, they produced 6,000 barrels of beer. The brewery currently produces over 20,000 barrels a year and plans to produce 30,000 in 2018.[4][9]
