Overview
A Heretic (n: HAIR-uh-tick) is a person with a belief different from the rest of the crowd. In a world where over 90% of beer drinkers believe mass market light lagers constitute the universe of beer, craft beer lovers are all heretics. While our name has no religious meaning, great craft beer is still a religion for us.
Heretic Brewing Company is located east of San Francisco in the town of Fairfield, CA. It was founded in 2010 by Jamil Zainasheff, one of the most awarded homebrewers in history.
Embrace your inner heretic and join us as we dive into new and unique beer territory. We are crazy about beer and passionate about making it.
