Lagunitas Brewing Company started in 1993 on a kitchen stove in Northern California and quickly grew into one of the most beloved hop-forward breweries in the country, rooted in community, creativity, and a laid‑back spirit. Founded by Tony Magee, the brewery moved from its original West Marin location to Petaluma, where it continues to brew iconic beers — including its flagship IPA — and welcome visitors with open taps, live music, and a vibrant taproom atmosphere. Known for its rebellious history, quirky culture, and commitment to inclusivity, Lagunitas blends big‑flavor craft brewing with a “come as you are” vibe that reflects the best of Sonoma County’s beverage scene.
