Humble Farmer Brewing Co.
Holtville, California, USA · Est. 2016
Tally's Take
Why this matters
California Pass 187. First-party current site identifies Humble Farmer as an active Imperial County brewery, lists its brewing process and current beer selection, and gives the Holtville brewery address. The official taproom page shows a seasonal Holtville taproom and a year-round Imperial taproom. Holtville Tribune reported in 2021 that Humble Farmer originally opened its doors in March 2016. Exact ownership/founder structure is left UNKNOWN pending a dedicated corporate/history source.
