Half Door Brewing Co

A half door in Ireland is a familiar sight, posted in many farmhouses and village taverns as a way to let fresh air in and keep out the nosy animals!

To the Drayne family, Half Door Brewing Co represents their ancestors’ brewing traditions, conducted daily in pubs. These pubs served as the cultural hub for every rural village in Ireland and each one brewed their own unique beer until the 1950s. That’s when a certain macro brewery (they won’t name names!) began to impressively dominate the industry, but also wipe out the unique character of small brewing operations.

The house they call home in the turn of the century was a natural place for their family-run brewpub – the Draynes are naturally warm and welcoming – hospitable spirit is in their veins!

Half Door Brewing Co is a “pub” in the traditional sense in the Irish countryside–a location where beer is made and freshly served. Every hamlet on the Emerald Isle had its own pub at one time in recent history, its own brewer, and its own distinctive brew. HDBC was built to celebrate this tradition with their family’s next generation at the head of the table, right here in the Capital of Craft, San Diego, California.
