Quality, Integrity, People, Community and Sustainability
These are not just words, but a cultural lifestyle and commitment at Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Our mission is the same as it has been since Sierra Nevada started in 1980 with a humble hand-built brewhouse - to produce and market the finest ales and lagers possible and to do it responsibly. Today Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is America’s longest-running craft startup, and boasts the number-one best-selling craft brand in the country—the legendary flagship, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
To this day, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. remains true to its roots. Our founder and owner is still personally involved in every aspect of brewery operation. Most importantly, the Sierra Nevada commitment to quality remains the same. Premium ingredients and time-honored brewing techniques make Sierra Nevada ales and lagers truly exceptional beers.
Sierra Nevada strives for quality in everything we do. From pioneering new beer styles to innovating groundbreaking environmental initiatives, we take our time and look at every option to ensure the best possible outcome. This stubborn insistence on quality extends to our workplace environment as well. At Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., we recognize the vital role our employees have in the ongoing success of our company. As an employee of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., you will be challenged to perform at a level that meets or exceeds our high quality standards that our customers have come to expect from us.

The Shipyard Brewing Company was founded by master brewer Alan Pugsley and entrepreneur Fred Forsley. Shipyard first began in 1992 at Federal Jack's Restaurant and Brew Pub in Kennebunk, which is one of Maine's original brew pubs and working breweries. Within two years, demand for Shipyard beer outpaced the small operation and, in April 1994, Forsley and Pugsley opened the Shipyard Brewing Company in the heart of the waterfront in Portland, Maine on the site of the former Crosby Laughlin Foundry.
