The program is new, but it could theoretically cover hundreds of businesses. “Overall,” Ostermann says, “we both identified a problem and a solution.” Leia Ostermann, managing director of the CCBA, told GBH that, prior to launching the program, the organization collected “around 100 letters of intent from interested breweries across the state,” adding, “and many more verbally expressed interest in this type of program.” Per the CCBA, citing the recent survey by FutureSense: “87% of the Southern California breweries surveyed did not offer retirement plans.”īut the demand seems to be there.

Other Bay Area breweries that picked up awards include San Jose’s Strike Brewing and its Clandestine Brewing, Santa Cruz’s Humble Sea, Soquel’s Discretion, San Francisco’s Laughing Monk and San Rafael’s Pond Farm. And Buck Wild Brewing brought home a hat trick, winning gold, silver and bronze medals for its gluten-free beer. Ghost Town Brewing won two golds, for itsYokai, a sake-yeast beer, and Pythia, a Belgian-style fruit beer.

In Oakland, Original Pattern Brewing won gold for Can’t Win ’em All (which in this case proved untrue) among international-style pale ales.

Vacaville’s Solano Brewing won in the hazy double IPA category for Hazy on the 80, and in San Francisco, Fort Point’s SHW, a Korean-style lager collaboration with San Ho Won, won in the international-style Pilsener category. Other Bay Area gold medal winners included Half Moon Bay Brewing for its Saison, Sunnyvale’s Faultline Brewing for its Oktoberfest and Danville Brewing for its Chocolate Raspberry Royale.
