Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. was founded in 1979, with founders Ken Grossman and Paul Camusi expanding their homebrewing
hobby into a brewery in Chico, California. Along with the brewery's
location, Grossman claims the company's name comes from his love of
hiking in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.[4] With $50,000 in loans from friends and family,
Grossman & Camusi rented a 3,000-square-foot (280 m2) warehouse and pieced together discarded dairy equipment and scrapyard metal to create their brewing equipment.[5][6]
They later were able to acquire second-hand copper brewing kettles from
Germany before moving to their larger, current brewing facility in
1989.[7]
The first batch brewed on premises was its Pale Ale,[8] in November 1980.[4] The following year the brewery introduced Celebration, an IPA,
which it continues to release as a winter seasonal. The company sold
950 barrels of beer in its first year, and double that amount in the
second.[5]
