The brewery expanded and moved its operations to a larger Mendocino County facility located in Ukiah, California in 1997. BackgroundThe Hopland Brewery was founded in 1983 by homebrewers Michael Laybourn and Norman Franks who purchased the brewing equipment of the closed New Albion Brewing Company. Former New Albion brewers, Jack McAuliffe and Don Barkley, were hired to operate the brewery.[1] The flagship beer was named Red Tail Ale, named after both the beer's color and also a local hymn titled "The Redtail Hawk".[1] The company continued to name all its beer varieties after birds. Opened on August 14, 1983, the Hopland Brewery was the first California brewpub ‒ a brewery licensed to sell both its own beer and food at the same location ‒ as well as the second in the United States.[1][2][3] In 2014, Northwest Labor Press listed Mendocino Brewing as the only unionized craft brewery they could find. The Ukiah facility is represented by the Teamsters.[4] Mendocino Brewing Company ceased operations in January 2018. Public offeringIn 1994, the company went public in a direct public offering, advertising its share offering with flyers in six-packs of its beer.[5] In 1997, Vijay Mallya, owner of the UB Group, bought a significant portion of the company,[6] and was the beneficial owner of approximately three-quarters of the company's stock.[7] BeersThe company's beers include Red Tail Ale, Blue Heron Pale Ale, Eye of the Hawk Select Ale, and Black Hawk Stout, as well as several other regular offerings, and various short-run seasonal offerings. Their products are all named for birds of prey, except Blue Heron, and feature images of the birds on their labels. As part of the acquisition by UB Group, the company owns a brewery in Saratoga Springs, New York, and produces Kingfisher brand beers for the U.S. market. InvolvementThe brewery is also the official sponsor of the Mendocino Steam Donkeys Rugby Football Club, a local men's Division III rugby union team.[8] See also
