Pentagonal Brewing Company
Imperial / Holtville, California, USA
Tally's Take
Why this matters
California Pass 187. Local 2020 reporting says Pentagonal Brewing Co. closed its Imperial operations and permanently moved to Barbara Worth Country Club in Holtville, where it operated the bar and restaurant. The brewery's official Facebook page documents continued operation and a reopening at Barbara Worth in September 2022. Current local-business index status marks the Holtville brewery permanently closed, while major beer directories also mark the brewery closed/no longer in business. Exact founding date and final closure date remain UNKNOWN, so no year is forced.

California Pass 187. Aliases: Hef Von Funfeck. First-party brewery post says Pentagonal would have Hef Von Fünfeck at the California Mid-Winter Fair craft event. The name suggests a wheat-beer reference, but Pass 106 does not infer a style without direct wording.
