Description
With a love of craft beer and an intense desire to join the craft brewing movement, Michael and Dave LaCross set out either to start or purchase a brewery somewhere in the San Francisco Bay Area. In May 2014 they wound up purchasing the established and award-winning Schooner’s Grille and Brewery in Antioch, CA. They immediately supported their Brewmaster, Craig Cauwels, in entering craft beer competitions and started off with a bang by winning California Brewery of the Year at the California State Fair in 2014, going up against all the heavy hitters in California. Over the past ten years, Craig has produced some of the very best craft beers in the country. He has racked up a slew of awards at major beer competitions including ten medals from the Great American Beer Festival (GABF) and four at the World Beer Cup, the largest beer competitions in the world. Most recent win was a Gold Medal for Apogee Baltic Porter at the 2016 World Beer Cup. Check out the Awards page for a complete list.
