Who owns Fort Point beer?

Answered by Paul Bowser

Fort Point Company is owned by Tyler Catalana, who co-founded the brewery with his brother Justin in 2009. As a sommelier and brewer, Tyler brings a unique perspective and expertise to the business. Their dream of opening a brewery and restaurant in their hometown of Mill Valley became a reality within a year, when they opened Mill Valley Beerworks.

From the very beginning, the Catalana brothers had a clear vision for their brewery. They aimed to create high-quality, handcrafted beers that would not only be enjoyed by locals but also appeal to a wider audience. This dedication to quality and craftsmanship has been the driving force behind Fort Point Beer Company's success.

As owners, the Catalana brothers are deeply involved in all aspects of the business. They oversee the process, ensuring that each beer is made with the finest ingredients and techniques. They also have a hand in recipe development, constantly experimenting and refining their offerings to create unique and delicious beers.

In addition to their passion for brewing, the Catalana brothers are committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere at their brewery and restaurant. They wanted to establish a place where people could gather, enjoy great beer, and connect with one another. This commitment to community has made Fort Point Beer Company a beloved destination in Mill Valley.

Over the years, Fort Point Beer Company has expanded its reach beyond their original location in Mill Valley. They now have a larger production facility located in San Francisco's historic Presidio neighborhood. This expansion has allowed them to increase their distribution and reach a wider audience. Despite their growth, the Catalana brothers remain deeply connected to their roots and continue to prioritize quality and community above all else.

As a sommelier and brewer, I have had the pleasure of tasting Fort Point beers and experiencing the warm and welcoming atmosphere they have created. It's clear that the Catalana brothers have poured their hearts and souls into their business, and it shines through in every aspect of Fort Point Beer Company.
