The Brewery
About Cooperage Brewing Company
Cooperage Brewing Company was born out of a deep passion for craft beer and a relentless drive to create something unique. Founded by Tyler Smith, our Founder/Brewer, who first fell in love with beer as an enthusiastic consumer, Cooperage started as a humble home-brewing operation in Tyler’s garage. Inspired by the innovation of modern craft breweries and the time-honored traditions of classic styles, Tyler began brewing with curiosity and determination.
What started with 9 beers on tap in a garage has now grown into a brewery known for pushing boundaries and crafting distinctive beers that resonate with beer lovers far and wide. From our first pours in 2015 to today, our ever-evolving, award-winning beer menu spans a wide variety of styles, including West Coast IPAs, Imperial Stouts, crisp lagers, hazy IPAs, fruited sours, and refreshing seltzers.
Now a central hub for the Santa Rosa community, Cooperage Brewing Company has expanded, hosting events, collaborating with local vendors and artists, and serving as a place where creativity and quality come together in every pint.
Cooperage Brewing wouldn’t be what it is today without the incredible team behind the scenes. From brewing to events, every member of our crew brings their unique passion and creativity to the table. Together, we’ve built a brewery that reflects our love for craft beer and community.
