Tuscan Brewing Co.
Red Bluff, California, USA
Tally's Take
Why this matters
California Pass 187. A 2005 Chico News & Review profile says Tuscan had operated south of Red Bluff for more than a decade and was Tehama County's only commercial brewery. The Conklins took over in 2003 from Cathy Conklin's parents. Later third-party brewery records classify it as no longer in business; exact closure year remains held.
