The Bear's New Facility

"Yes, the rumors are true. Bear Republic is building a new plant! Located on the southern end of Cloverdale, the new facility is just off the freeway for ease of shipping and will offer us increased production in our new facility. The space is over twice as large as the brewery space in downtown Healdsburg and will house a brewery and a tasting room.

Our restaurant and pub brewery will remain in downtown Healdsburg and you will still be able to get great fresh ales and food. But you will have to make an extra drive (only 15 minutes north on highway 101) for a tour. Keep checking back to the website for the project construction. Watch us grow!"
