Lagunitas beers are available in 20-ish countries and growing. And whether supporting local communities by turning beer into money for the cause, or simply fueling stories and songs with IPA and other fine ales, we’ve learned one thing (aside from how to cook a turkey)…Wherever you go: beer speaks, people mumble.

It all started with the dream of two passionate guys named Dan Gordon and Dean Biersch. This dream of exceptional beer and delicious food became a reality in 1988 when the first Gordon Biersch opened in Palo Alto, CA. Now owned and operated by SPB Hospitality, Gordon Biersch has 11 locations across the U.S. and 6 franchise locations in Taiwan. Committed to using only the freshest and finest ingredients, our restaurants showcase a passion for food with seasonal menus, daily specials and frequent changes to the regular menu. Hand crafted and brewed to perfection, Gordon Biersch goes to great lengths to serve each guest the freshest beer possible. This commitment to serving nothing but the finest and freshest food and beer possible is indicative of our mission - Every Guest, Every Time. Check our website to see what we've got brewing for you!

Our journey began with a 15-gallon soup kettle, a quest for better beer, and countless batches of homebrew. The passion and personality that began Bell’s continue today through our breweries and Eccentric Café. We continue to grow and evolve, dedicated to our mission; to be deeply rooted in our community, committed to the environment, and brewers of Inspired Beer. While Bell’s remains independent in many ways, we joined forces with New Belgium Brewing in early 2022.
