Healdsburg Beer Company
Healdsburg Beer Company was literally started in a residential garage at a time when that kind of thing wasn’t happening. Upon learning that the common wisdom in homebrewing circles was that it wasn’t possible to license and bond a super-small scale brewery HBC’s founder, Kevin McGee, took it as something of a dare. Putting his law degree to good use, Kevin legally licensed and bonded his garage as The Healdsburg Beer Company and unknowingly became one of the first of what would later be called “nano-breweries.”
With the assistance of Gordie, celebrity canine assistant brewer, his daughter as a moral compass and the patience, design skills and razor-sharp palate of Wonderspouse, Kevin proceeded to turn out small batches of craft beer with excessive attention to detail and focus on balance and drinkability.
