California Craft Breweries
Every active brewery in the state, mapped. Use the controls to zoom in on a region — and see what the full interactive platform will do.
What You're Looking At
This map is a static preview. It plots every active California brewery location we currently have on record, colour-coded by type — microbreweries, brewpubs, regional and large breweries, and contract or proprietor operations — over shaded relief, with detail insets for the three densest metro areas.
By type, the 803 locations are 466 microbreweries, 254 brewpubs, 39 contract or proprietor operations, 29 regional breweries and 15 large breweries.
It is a picture of the data. The platform we are building will let you work with it: search and filter the map, click any brewery to open its profile, and plan a route between them.

A fundraising campaign is underway
California Brewery Tourism has begun raising funds for its initial program: a Digital Discovery Platform built around an interactive statewide map of every active California brewery, with full brewery profiles and media content for each one.
The map above is what we can show today. Contributions fund the development work that turns it into something you can explore, search and travel with — and they are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law.
Support the campaign (opens in a new tab) Donations are processed securely through Givebutter, which emails your tax receipt. California Brewery Tourism is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, EIN 41-4777927; see our donor privacy & refund policy. Questions? Write to info@californiabrewerytourism.org.About the data
Brewery locations are drawn from Open Brewery DB (opens in a new tab), an open dataset of active brewery records, retrieved September 2026. Terrain and coastline from Natural Earth. Projection: California Albers.
The 803 locations shown here differ from the 939 California craft breweries reported by the Brewers Association and cited on our brewing history page. The two count different things: the Brewers Association counts licensed craft brewing companies in its annual industry survey, while this map plots individual active locations listed in an open database, which lags new openings and closures. Both figures are current for 2025–26; neither is a correction of the other.
