Based in Boonville, California, Anderson Valley Brewing Company is a small- to mid-sized craft brewer in Mendocino County that has produced ales and lagers since 1987. The company emphasizes balanced, complex beer profiles and operates a solar-powered facility with water drawn from on-site wells, used for irrigation on its property. It also practices waste valorization, giving spent grain to local cattle and using spent hops as natural fertilizer, reflecting a commitment to sustainability. This approach places AVBC within the craft beer segment of the food and beverage services industry, where environmentally conscious production is part of its identity. Its products target beer enthusiasts who seek craft beverages and the distributors and retailers that carry AVBC's offerings, supported by distribution partnerships such as Breakthru Beverage to broaden reach in California's East Bay. In 2023 AVBC released a limited-edition Huge Arker Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout, illustrating ongoing product development. Additionally, the company has engaged in partnerships with organizations like the Surfrider Foundation to support coastal sustainability.
