New Brewery Launched in Redding, CA


Wildcard Brewing Company began when Jenny and Jeff Hansen brewed 2 beers as a wedding favor at a brewery located in San Luis Obispo, CA. A few years after, homebrew projects and burst beer bottle explosions followed.

This simple passion eventually became a career as the two went to England. Jenny did her “research” in different local pubs while Jeff enrolled in the University of Sunderland and studied brewing science.  When they went back in the U.S, Jeff chose the most competitive brewing place, the Pacific Northwest. Years later, the pair went to Redding, Calfornia, Jeff’s hometown  and launched their very own production brewery. They put across the bar four year round beers; Suicide Jack, California Cream Ale; Liar’s Dice, IPA; Double Down, Imperial Red Ale; Shot in the Dark, Oatmeal Porter.

Cheers to that!
