Our Team : The Brewers, Brian Bell
In 2013, I watched a couple of YouTube videos on home brewing. The next week, I bought an extract kit from Napa Fermentation and with the help of my neighbor, we made that first batch of Malty magic. I was amazed at the process of what we created; it was the best beer I’d ever tasted, (Haha), I was hooked.
In 2015, it was time to move to a more permanent brewing location where the space was dedicated to brewing. The “Brew Shack” was born about 1,000 ft from where SBC sits now. I can still remember how big the first commercial 3.5-barrel brew house system I brewed on seemed at that time, but now, seeing the 3.5 barrel fermenter next to our new 30-barrel fermenters, it reminds me how far we have come.
About myself, I was born and raised Benicia, CA. When I was young, I was always involved in open wheel racing. I raced dirt and pavement sprint gokarts locally and around the US from age 12 to 20. Later I started working in a machine shop in Vallejo after high school making Sprintcar parts. In 2010, I started working at a national laboratory as a machinist. Racing and Brewing are my life’s passion, right below my lovely wife Debbie of 35 years, 3 sons and 2 grandchildren.

Malting Barley - Malting Process
In the malting process, the viable barley grains are converted into malt by germinating the grains to a selected degree, and then the germinated grains are dried in a kiln under carefully controlled processing conditions. Although malt production facilities around the world differ widely in design configuration and capacity, the basic process is the same. All maltsters strive for uniformity in the processes of steeping, germination and kilning, so that the resultant malt meets the functional requirements of brewing, distilling or food processing.

Our Team : Randy & Patty
It all started with a call from a friend saying there is this great home brewer (Brian Bell) that wants to take it to the next level and needs a place to brew at a much larger scale than in his garage. After trying his beer, that was it, we were in! Although our background is not in brewing beer, we have run multiple businesses in the past and we knew this one was going to be successful.
Fortunately, after talking with our son and daughter-in-law, Ryan and Audrey, they were willing to take this journey with us. Our true joy in owning SBC is watching our customers, their family and friends, enjoying the atmosphere and amenities we have created, not to mention the fantastic award winning beers our brewers produce!
