Calicraft Brewing is on pace to grow 80% in 2025, after 30% growth in 2024. The Walnut Creek, California-based craft brewery has been able to buck national craft trends by cleaning up production, making key hires and refocusing its portfolio. Now, the company plans to expand that growth into ready-to-drink cocktails, launching in 2026.

This May, Calicraft Brewing Company, known for making beer-wine hybrids, is releasing Rosé Ale in 6 pack cans. Rosé Ale is part of Calicraft’s California Sparkling Ales series, which are beers fermented with wine yeast with the intention of creating wine-like flavors, textures, and aromas. By fermenting with wine yeast, wine grapes, and fruits, Calicraft creates beverages that blur the line between beer and wine.
