Hop Secret Brewing

Hop Secret Brewing Company, LLC (HSBC) was launched, formally, in September 2015 when former owner, Gary Gates, signed a warehouse lease in Monrovia, CA. The concept had, of course, been brewing (haha) in the owner's mind for, at least, a year prior to the lease signing. Gary spent approximately 25 years in financial-related functions, in both the public and private sectors. The thought of doing something different was both appealing and terrifying...but the appealing forces won, and Gary retired in September 2015 where he finished his career, after 18 years, with the City of Pasadena Fire Department as their Financial Officer.
