List of California Craft Breweries

This list is courtesy of ratebeer.com's directory of California craft breweries. It seems to be pretty up to date. Most of these folks are brewpubs, though there are folks like Healdsburg Beer Co., Moonlight Brewing Co., and Hess Brewing - doing the brewing without the pub. This list does not include the smaller nanobreweries in planning...that's for another entry.
