The concept for Santa Ana River Brewing was formed by Geoff Brand and Mike Miller in an effort to craft hop-forward ales in the great tradition of west coast brewing with the ultimate goal of being able to offer unique and idiosyncratic takes on classic styles.

"We love hops, and while we respect all the components and different aspects that go into brewing each beer, one theme runs through them all: hops, hops, and more hops... We are constantly in search of the greatest examples of hoppy beers to enjoy and eventually found ourselves immersed in the journey to brew some of our own hop-bombs. Being natives of Southern California we luckily have been surrounded by legendary breweries and avid craft brew fans in all directions."
