🍻 Every Pint Has a Story. Let’s Map Them All.

California is home to 939 craft breweries, more than any other state in the country. They bring in $8.3 billion a year for their communities. Some sit on busy downtown corners. Some are tucked into mountain towns, along the coast, or down a back road you’d never find without a local’s tip.

The problem? There’s no single place to find them all, meet the people behind them, or plan a trip around them.

We’re going to change that, and we’d love your help.

🗺️ Introducing the California Brewery Discovery Platform

California Brewery Tourism is building the first statewide, interactive map of every active brewery in California. Think of it as your guide to the Golden State’s craft beer scene, with the brewers themselves helping tell the story.

Every brewery gets its own profile, featuring:

• 📍 Business info: location, hours, and everything you need to plan a visit

• 🍺 Featured beers: the pours they’re proudest of

• 🎙️ A message from the owner or brewmaster, in their own words

• 📖 History and culture: how they got started and what makes them unlike any other taproom

• 📸 Photos and video that take you behind the tanks

Built with breweries, not just about them

Each brewery gets its own login to keep its profile fresh with new beers, new stories, and new content. That means the platform stays alive, current, and full of people, not just a directory that goes stale.

🚗 Explore Close to Home or Plan the Road Trip of a Lifetime

• Find hidden gems in your own hometown you never knew existed

• Plan a trip and discover breweries along your route and at your destination

• Learn the stories behind California’s brewing communities, from pioneers who’ve been at it for decades to the newest spots on the block

Whether you’re a craft beer fan, a weekend explorer, or just curious, this platform opens the door to one of California’s richest cultural traditions.

🚀 Where Your Gift Goes: Our Growth Roadmap

Your support drives this vision forward, one milestone at a time.

🥇 Stage 1: Launch the Website

This campaign funds our first build: the interactive map, the brewery profiles, and the brewery login tools. This is the foundation that makes everything else possible.

🥈 Stage 2: Go Mobile (if we meet or exceed our goal)

Hit our goal and we’ll take the platform straight to your pocket with an easy-to-use mobile app offering all the same features. It’ll be perfect for road trips and spur-of-the-moment adventures.

🥉 Stage 3: Your Personal Brewery Guide, Powered by AI (if we blow past our goal)

Help us go well beyond our goal and we’ll build in an AI-powered brewery assistant. Tell it where you are, what styles you love, and what kind of experience you’re after, and it will point you to the brewery that fits you best.

Every dollar gets us closer to the next stage.
