The Sudwerk Brewing Co., based in Davis, California, was founded in 1989 by two German friends and operates as a craft brewery within the food and beverage services sector. It is described as California's leading brewer of handcrafted, full-flavored craft lagers and emphasizes the use of all-natural ingredients. The company aims to redefine American lager by innovating styles while preserving the sessionability characteristic of lagers. Its customer base includes beer enthusiasts in California who value lager-focused offerings. Sudwerk has received industry recognition, including Brewer of the Year at the 2021 Great American Beer Festival and gold medals for The People’s Pilsner at the 2022 festival. Beyond beer, it expanded its lineup with Life Is Hard Seltzer in 2020 and, in 2024, formed a partnership with the Dogtopia Foundation for a dog-focused event.
