Brewery Profile

Humboldt Regeneration

In McKinleyville’s beer scene, Humboldt Regeneration stands out less as a conventional taproom stop and more as a brewery built around agriculture. Visitors should expect the brewery’s identity to be closely tied to its two-acre regenerative farm, where ingredients are grown using permaculture, no-till practices, and mycoculture. That farm-to-brewhouse connection shapes the way the place presents itself: the beer is not separated from the soil, plants, and land management behind it. For a visitor walking in, the main point of interest is this direct link between a nano-brewery and the growing methods that support its ales.

Travelers seeking out beer in this region often look for small producers with a clear local point of view, and this stop fits that pattern through its “beer-farming” approach. The brewing program includes artisan ales, with attention to distinctive non-traditional Belgian styles as well as classic German and English brews. Since specific pours can change, the experience is less about chasing a famous flagship and more about seeing how onsite agriculture can influence a small brewing operation. The brewery also extends beyond serving beer through a Community Supported Brewery growler program, giving regular customers a structured way to participate in its output.

For practical planning, treat the taproom as the place to confirm the day’s pours, growler availability, and any current details about the Community Supported Brewery program. Visitors interested in the agricultural side should also ask about educational workshops, which focus on soil health and sustainable land stewardship. Amenities beyond the known tap service, growler program, farm connection, and workshops should not be assumed in advance. The most useful approach is to check directly with the brewery before going, especially if the goal is to attend a workshop or learn more about the regenerative farming methods behind the beer.

Humboldt Regeneration in McKinleyville, California, is pioneering the concept of "beer-farming," connecting their nano-brewery directly to a two-acre regenerative farm. Utilizing permaculture, no-till methods, and mycoculture, they grow ingredients onsite to craft artisan ales, including distinctive non-traditional Belgian styles and classic German and English brews. Beyond the tap, they engage the community through a unique Community Supported Brewery (CSB) growler program and host educational workshops focused on soil health and sustainable land stewardship.
