Northspur Brewing Co. (Craft Beer & Brewery in Willits CA)

Northspur Brewing Co. sits in Willits, California, and makes a point of treating malt like a fine piece of jewellery. The operation was sparked by Jakob Foley’s wanderlust (years spent learning the ropes in breweries abroad) and now settles into a modest 7‑barrel system from Practical Fusion. Here, the beer isn’t rushed; each batch receives the reverence of floor‑malting, with barley sourced from nearby farms that understand the value of a good grain.

The taproom is a playground for the curious, rotating between sharp NE IPAs, mellow barrel‑aged stouts and even a rye‑barrel‑aged offering that feels like a masterclass in patience. A dog‑friendly patio shaded just enough for an afternoon linger, a bacon‑egg‑cheese bagel for the hungry, and a surprisingly good range of kombucha keep the experience well‑rounded. The industrial‑chic interior looks like a warehouse that’s had a makeover, and the merchandise line lets you take a piece of the place home. In short, Northspur blends tradition and modernity with a dash of irreverent charm, delivering beer that tells a story and a venue that invites you to stay for the next chapter.
