Wicks Brewing Company
Riverside, California, USA · Est. 2013
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Established in 2013 and closed in March 2023 — and the source for both is a 2025 California appellate court opinion, which is not where most brewery histories come from. Contemporary 2013 coverage independently confirms on-site brewing at the Riverside location. Ten years of trading, and the clearest documentation of it arrived two years after the doors shut.
