From the ashes of the Green Flash / Alpine Brewing deal of a few years back comes…
Son and Father Brewing duo of Shawn and Pat McIlhenney will be Brewing again in Alpine, CA!
You can read the full story from the excellent Brandon Hernandez HERE.
When Alpine Beer Company became part of Green Flash, I thought it was a good fit. Fast forward and I was ever so wrong. You could probably say that the downfall of Green Flash kinda began with that acquisition. Fast forward again to 2020 and it looks like, if things break right, that the father and son duo Patrick and Shawn Mcilhenney might regain the ol’ system that that was Alpine’s home from 2002 to 2014.
The new company is Mcilhenney Brewing and they will start up again “after the current tenant vacates.”
The renter is of course Green Flash and once they move out, the new can begin.
