Founded in 1987, the Anderson Valley Brewing Company brewed out of a 10-barrel brew house, located in the lower level of its brewpub, The Buckhorn Saloon. The brewery built their present 30-barrel facility at the corner of Highways 128 and 253, a mile from the center of Boonville. That was in 1996, and this brewery saw them through a dramatic period of growth, which included the introduction of a 12 ounce bottling line and a production level of 15,000 barrels in 1998. In April of 2010 the brewery sold to industry veteran Trey White.
